Capturing Titans: The Art of Big Wave Photography

[@joshuawithacamera]

I’m a simple man I see a new Shainblum video and I watch it. Every damn time.

[@Marquess271]

Same

[@MichaelShainblum]

you are the man Joshua thank you so much!

[@ko300zx]

Oh if only it were that simple. I watch one, then I watch 14 more that I've already seen 20-30 times each. Every damn time. 🤣

[@puspajeetrana602]

Us man us 😅

[@BrettWoodPhoto]

There’s good photographers, THEN, there’s Michael Shainblum…. Superb work as always mate.

[@yahmoht6470]

Man!! I am not a wave/waterfall photographer kind of guy, but as a landscape photographer, I believe I have not seen anyone do this type of photography better than you! Amazing job! Wow.

[@roberto19801909]

I don't remember that last time I saw a KZbin video with so many stunning photography. You have such a fantastic composition and great eyes to see abstract art work. These are phenomenal

[@TinaBen14]

Amazing photos and footage!

[@TinaBen14]

You could teach that fototripper guy a thing or two! 🤣

[@carlpalmer6095]

Stunning photography as usual from Michael. The shot of the waves with the spirit of a wolf coming through is outstanding, love it! I would have that hanging on my wall without hesitation.

[@niksiotv6204]

My jaw dropped at the beginning of the video and hasn't stood up yet 😮 Absolutely incredible photos and footage 😃

[@suemachie122]

The power of the waves, then contrasting the small birds. Elegant and powerful images.

[@olivierdujardin8426]

the start of your video is fabulously cinematic and the light is gorgeous! Really enjoyed the whole video well done

[@lotus30com]

That cape rarely disappoints.

[@muhammadrozan1802]

I remember something I read from a book 'You do something, and you obsess.' Every final photo you take contains feelings, and the story behind it. I'm sure it takes time and effort. Amazing work-success to you

[@jonathantharp9425]

Art, beauty, imagination, power and energy exudes within these images. Each one exhibits either one or several of these elements. Thanks for sharing and inspiring us with this outstand video.

[@aharshephotography]

"Phantom of a wolf" could be a nice name for that image. Love the footage and the choice of music in this video, watched the first sequence like 4 times. Images are mind blowing!

[@nicksaunders106]

Stunning set of pictures, mind blowing ! Thank you!

[@arnoudvandeweerd9258]

What an incredibly cool series of photos and video images. Beautiful to see. Thanks for sharing!

[@MichaelShainblum]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks so much for watching!

[@landonjames3993]

Absolutely amazing video/images Michael 🗣️🗣️🗣️

[@dalerobinson8456]

Amazing photography, definitely see faces and animals. Thank you, keep up the great work.

[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

Absolutely amazing and fabtastic post production work. The sea was like raging and you didnt seem to be exposed to the wind. Crazy. You are just a genius young man. I love when you do videos about waves.

[@hughwhullphotography6148]

The King Tides and the super waves are always amazing as are your videos! Great color caught in the wave action, not mention the logs and birds.

[@imagetek2000]

Absolutely your best video yet! I was there for King Tide in Dec. 2024

[@Jude2408]

So glad to have found you. I live near the beach on the east coast of Australia and love capturing waves. Just can’t wait for winter. And definitely agree about the bird. Was going to sell my 100-400 but not now. You have reinspired me.

[@annieturner3335]

Stunning! Your photos and footage always blow me away! ❤🌊❤

[@michaelj.1121]

Classic Shainblum - just brilliant

[@albertotafuro6112]

Fantastic lesson!!, thanks Michael

[@heikopockrandt-esch5318]

Hey Michael, it’s always so impressive to see how much you thrive in photography - your creativity is truly something special! I’m from Northern Germany myself and have been into photography for many years, but I keep discovering new and inspiring ideas through your work. You have such an incredible eye for moments and details. It’s really amazing that someone like you exists. Keep it up - you’re a fantastic photographer! ❤

[@jht1122]

I live near here and I appreciate seeing a different perspective! Thank you for sharing!

[@OrcaT-j1y]

That 'wolf wave' was a great shot. Amazing vlog as always.

[@iank1638]

you are so good! such an incredible range of photography styles and images . and your videos are awesome too. thank you for making them

[@hausverstand403]

Congratulations to you Michael on this masterpiece of photographic art, which inspires me very much

[@Luigi13]

Cape disappointment lighthouse famous for these types of waves. Beautiful images.

[@FWFotografie]

They are great. Thank you for sharing.

[@JoseMarques-od4iu]

Outstanding. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@brookspeacock5302]

Michael, it may not be the Waikiki that everyone thinks about, the images from Waikiki during King Tides are incredible. Thank you for sharing.

[@mariamullin4031]

Wow, a fantastic video and amazing photos

[@katemaxwell6061]

Awesome! Love the slo mo

[@krosewx34]

Wow! Loved all of these images and your creative way of thinking. The drone and cliff presceptives are my favorite, being above the action. Outstanding work as always! 🌊

[@lawrencesmith9214]

A master at work, can’t fail to watch any new Michael Shainblum video release!! Brilliant images Michael, I’m sure Rachael Talibart would be proud of some of these! 👍👍👍

[@krlphoto5933]

What an epic set of days!! Your photos came out sooooo juicy good! 😍😍🌊🌊

[@robbymillerphotography]

Wow!!! What an opening sequence!

[@Atrain5ss]

Another epic video! Loved it. Such amazing shots

[@Tim9666]

I gotta say I love your approach to simplistic landscape photography. Your colors and contrasts are always perfect, and most of all, I appreciate that you never overdo your images. In a time where everything is edited and artificial, i feel like you are going the absolutely right way:) best from Austria

[@eo5seabee941]

STUNNING! I would love to see what you could capture at Niagara Falls this time of the year with all of the snow, ice coated trees and rocks. I really enjoy shooting The Falls this time of the year!

[@ronnieoutdoors]

Totally amazing 🌊🌊🌊💪💪💪

[@eedenphotography]

Stunning!!

[@juanitakelly3082]

I've been there and am so jealous of the shots you got! Great tips. Your eyes are probably still crossed from editing all you took!

[@stuartvh4562]

Wow! A thoroughly enjoyable video and stunning photography, as always. Thank you!

[@kaosimagery]

Probably one of your best, Michael. Not just the stills, but the videography too. I may be biased on the subject, anything water related is great. Nice job. Send some of those big waves to the east coast so I can shoot them :)

[@Tpformanphotography]

Wow!! Just incredible work here Michael. I so look forward to your videos because I know it will be full of great stuff and advice. I am located in Oregon and get out to the coast a few times each year, but I have yet to get lucky with the conditions to capture images of these amazing waves. By the way, the wave crashing into the cliff at 14:05 in the video looks like it has an image of a human face in the middle. You can make out the eyes, nose and mouth. Wonderful!

[@mactube72]

Simply amazing ideas and photos and video. Thanks for sharing.

[@nealschneider6554]

You have such an amazing eye for abstract photography, Michael. The photos you shared in this video are fantastic. I can’t tell you how much I look forward to your new videos. Thank you for sharing your work with us.

[@davidcassford6361]

Awesome images, wow, thank you.

[@davidwilliams4839]

Beautiful images.

[@gregtowns549]

How Cool Michael. Just got back from a king tide trip myself. Like you, I'm hooked. Shooting big waves is a blast!

[@lucacanever]

This is the most spectacular vlog I have ever seen. Thank you Michael!

[@cmichaelhaugh8517]

Wow! It’s amazing to me that the rocks don’t erode even faster under this onslaught.

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

So many creatures and shapes, so many creative moments frozen in time. I so wish I was there! You is da man! 👨🏻

[@MichaelShainblum]

thanks so much, Man. I really appreciate it! Hope you are doing well.

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

@ very well man, and the same to you. Keep em flowing 😍👍

[@jalenobanphotography]

So epic! Love how you’re able to make beautiful images in ANY condition, even if the waves are huge like at Cape Disappointment. Your telephoto work is incredible. Thank you🌊

[@nicoladrayton3004]

Amazing! Almost like Poseidon leashing his fury!

[@JohnPaul-ii]

Stunning images Michael

[@saeidrostami]

Thank you 🙏🏻 you are the best 👏🏻🔝

[@garrydelday5816]

Incredible waves, stunning images Michael 🌊👌

[@SmilinAndy]

This looks like the January King tides this year; I took a friend and introduced her to photography that weekend. I shot my new mirrorless and set her up with the Rebel T6 I started with. She did very well, even with the funky light of the sunsets and inside Sealion Caves; I'm very proud of her. 🥹 Our peak high tide spots were Thor's Well, Ecola State Park, and Cape D. It was fun to see a couple of those spots in here, and I've shared it with her.

[@javi_martos]

Fantástico video, justamente ayer estuve en la costa de Barcelona en el Mediterráneo y me pude llevar algunas imágenes sorprendentes de las olas rompiendo contra las rocas. Cómo tu dices es cuestión de paciencia. gracias por este magnifico video

[@petergrumann5826]

Absolute stunning. Thank You!

[@wespettus7343]

Frickin awesome shots Michael!

[@michaeltrue]

Beautiful images, congratulations! Oregon coast is on my list.

[@Mueseek]

Fantastic photographs as usual!!

[@taniamccrea-steele4689]

This is my first time posting a comment on KZbin. I see your ‘wolf wave’ as a wolf with a dragon spirit. All these images blow my mind!

[@michaelboyle-ms2id]

8:36 is so epic!

[@JesusCardenasGarcia-x4e]

Such an inspirational video> Now I want to go and shoot waves all day long!

[@chuckhaney1333]

That was such a great day at the Cape. Great meeting you there. Cheers.

[@mortall_after_all]

Unbelievable work👍🔥

[@NatanielsArt]

So many great shots and yea totally wolf wave! Normally high wind and clouds are my enemy but those shots are amazing

[@noname123-y8j]

Absolutely stunning work! Unbelievable footage! Stallions going into ocean regarding wave formation you inquired about. Definitely will be watching this video several times!!! Thanks for sharing.

[@zadokwest]

Awesome and Beautifully. Really liked the drone eye level perspective footage of the waves out at sea. And of course the amazing shots.😮🎉

[@rodolphenavarro4253]

Superbe épisode avec des photos magnifiques,bravo👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

[@ianbiggs7442]

Yet again, high quality work. Those crashing waves shots, just epic. Just as good as Rachel Talibart's work.

[@kristapple]

Wow, where do you start with seeing things in those wave images…there’s Faces, Animal faces , monsters, creatures , aliens you name it…another beautiful Shainblum vlog 😊

[@pradippatel9345]

So stunning! Great video

[@arpitdhorephotography]

Stunning Photos and interpreting the photos like a mythical beast fighting to add beauty to the story.

[@edwinshank7865]

[@MatthewRaifman]

Outstanding work. I especially loved the drone footage. Just awesome!

[@CalMukumoto]

Dang, it makes me want to head to the Oregon Coast. Well done, Michael! One of those waveshots made me think of Cerberus.

[@winheiMR]

Ein traumhafter Spot wohl unerreichbar für mich, danke für das zeigen, diese Ausrüstung liegt sehr weit über meinem Budget

[@kartikeydwivedi4774]

That was such an awesome video, enjoyed it a lot !!

[@andrewsales2167]

As always amazing images. Thank you

[@orangeuavpilot7572]

Thanks Michael for sharing these amazing wave photos! Oregon is on my bucket list. I see a human face in the middle of the wave at the 12:50 mark.

[@Zanagash]

AMAZING PICTURES !!! 😍

[@MichaelShainblum]

[@edwinshank7865]

[@MichaelShainblum]

[@davidpearce2981]

Inspirational

[@pleclere]

Great pictures, certainly your dog/wolf wave where the lighting and colours were amazing

[@MichaelShainblum]

thanks so much!

[@RalphieBurnsy]

I saw it as a lion but that’s just me 😁

[@sawlens]

The image @8:20 looks like there are 2 horses coming from the splash. One with its head looking forward, and the one to the right of it with its head lowered. Reminds me of the river scene in the Fellowship of the Ring.
