Seascape Photography Adventure in San Diego California

It is not often I catch incredible conditions like this when capturing Landscape Photography. In this video, I photograph some long exposure wide-angle seascapes.

My biggest mistakes throughout my photography journey was arriving late at the location and hustling for a good composition, but now as i am getting better at what iam doing with my images i have realised the importance of getting there early and scouting. It was a great video brother.

[@harishmoniprakash4881]

In this particular composition, I really liked the short exposure showing the details in the crashing waves

[@cmichaelhaugh8517]

I like the 2nd shot of the first series best with its combination of smooth flow over the rocks and chaos between the rocks.

[@cowgirljane3316]

Oh, how wonderful. Everything is so anazing. There's nothing chaotic about any picture.

[@giovannifiorentini8295]

Beautiful shots. The longer exposure is my favorite.

[@Dcpde]

I love that faster shutter speed shot of the waves, i like it much better than the longer exposure ones tbh. I find it so refreshing to see a faster shutter speed on moving water done elegantly. Moreover, the texture on that image shows the power of the waves that are coming in, i love it!

[@grassomaurizio1]

Enchanting places and wonderful shots all with envious light and texture

[@pattymattes7124]

Your images are beautiful. I do love long exposure but I have to say I loved the water at the fast shutter speed. Water is always interesting to me as it looks just as beautiful when freezing the motion as it is with a longer shutter speed. Thanks for sharing.

[@trevorpayne2749]

Inspiring as always! Thanks

[@deanludwig1]

Beautiful landscapes. I learn a lot just by watching your videos. Thank you Love those landscapes! I learn so much just by watching your creative abilities. Thank you!

[@RM831BC4E4]

Simply stunning images

[@patricksnodin4187]

Short exposure for me, I guess most landscape photographers have 'slow' eyeballs. It's nice to see what I see for a change. I always enjoy your work, thanks.

[@williamdavidson1490]

The shot around 7 minutes in was epic, for me the best of the set that night.

[@mikefoxworthysr.7183]

Michael, thank your. Your work is inspiring.

[@saeidrostami]

amazing . Excellent and complete

[@caloy4573]

It is a special place. Thanks for sharing.

[@stephentopiaphoto]

Each photo is a masterpiece Michael.

[@neml5755]

Beautiful Michael. Inspiring stuff.

[@nicksaunders106]

Hi Michael Love the long exposure shot, third picture you showed us!

[@johnjacob7287]

Thanks for sharing your insights & amazing work.. 🙏🏽❤️

[@JJRAIA-es9cj]

Never cease to amaze... more great images!!

[@surajitadhikary4325]

Very inspiring tutorial

[@shupingyin8082]

This is amazing

[@chinthaka4you]

Amazing captures. 😍

[@goanheat]

Beautiful shots and the lovely sunset colors.

[@joelpatterson3748]

So good! Love seascape vlogs

[@JohnHPettigrewFujishooter67]

Stunning images Michael, I often visit locations over and over and find new and interesting compositions each time. Thanks for sharing.

[@violetapinauwu5873]

Que hermosa es la naturaleza! 😄❤

[@fatehboukhelala7019]

Beautiful ❤

[@amritgurung1473]

Great one

[@CarTalesOfficial]

I came across your channel earlier this month and really appreciate your work Michael. AMAZING stuff. coming from an automotive background where I love to integrate beautiful land scapes into my images, your videos have helped me find a new perspective and approach to photographing/videoing my subjects. Especially your acute attention to composition. One of my favorite aspects of being a photographer is the never ending search for knowledge and new perspectives to integrate into your own workflow. Having the ability to see into the mind of another creative is absolutely priceless and I look forward to following along your creative journey.

[@lu8cho]

Another great one to watch Michael! I would love to go back some day! Beautiful place! Thanks for sharing!

[@antoniodesiderio1984]

just one word.... Ameasing...👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@ibp2007]

Thank you.

[@garcesbizama]

I love the patterns on the rocks shelf when you use short expouser, I think in this case is more compositive

[@JasonLorette]

Awesome spot, thanks for bringing us along! 😎

[@stewartlogie]

Yes, I do like the faster shutter photo with the nice defined texture. The warm reflected light on the rocks on many images was really nice.

[@DarrenJSpoonley]

Man that light was Devine !! Stunning shots and explained well as always !! The longer exp’s for me

[@jamesjohnston6765]

Gorgeous light and compositions. I like the longer exposures myself but all are great.

[@alexcoelho4840]

Great Video!! The shorter exposure was my favorite!! Thanks!

[@Highdepthfilms]

I like the faster shutter speed image, it has a great look to the water as it’s mostly foam and brings out the action of the water movement. The ethereal shot looks great and gives the viewer a sense of calm. In these two particular images if I had to chose one or another I’d have to pick the faster exposure.

[@Thetravelphotocoach]

I enjoyed your faster shutter speed image and liked how you described the contrast of the texture of the water with the smoothness of the clouds. It also made me realise that I prefer to see the power of the waves rather the smooth water of a long exposure. The 1/2 exposure was able to achieve the drama of the waves in the background with the smoother water in the foreground. Thanks for sharing you tip to scout the scene, I’m off to the coast tomorrow with my 10-18mm lens and am exciting to put your info into practice.

[@davewarren7693]

Texture Baby!!!!

[@Stone1108]

I think you’ve captured the emotion and experience, the internalised quandary, balance and continual desire to explore and capture your art through photography. I relate to this video as i’m sure many of your viewers do. A deep photography experience and transmitted in a honest and well presented way. Thanks, great work.

[@TorstenPull]

Thanks Michael for another great video. I personally love the water movement exposures around 1/2 - 1 second the most.

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

I loved all the shutter speeds. It was the light that got better towards the end! Wow man those clouds and combinations of water and sky, a shoot that could last forever. Beautiful photography.

[@Vehshya]

Still one of my favorite photographers! Id love to see you and fototripper do more work together.

[@bryanashford5118]

Really enjoyed that thank you for sharing really amazing seascape shots 👌👏👏

[@ansiechorn9228]

Such a delight to see and deeply appreciate Nature through your lens... especially during these times on our Planet... Thank you Michael! :)

[@PETERFRITZPHOTO]

Great stuff, Michael. Loved the higher shutter speed image with the frozen texture, but then immediately fell in love with the latter images.

[@vanhunghoang6335]

These are fantastic examples of capturing seascapes, which are more difficult than dry landscapes.

[@robbieledwith8437]

Seascape photography can be extra challenging, but when you get super conditions like these & its well captured, it brings you there, makes you feel the splash.. while 500th of a sec gives you a more realistic shot, i feel the longer exposures provide the wow factor and a sense of motion that makes you slow down and really download everything the image has to offer...well done..

[@JackieKido15]

Masterful & magnificent my friend ❤

[@chrisroot7182]

Loved the shorter exposure on the first comp. A great set of images, loved them all. Cannot wait to move to the coast!

[@BabyG084]

Amazing video as usual. I loved that last shot u showed. But in regards to your question. I like both - the shorter and longer exposure because both have something special about them

[@c.alcazar2584]

The pictures are beautiful i love the one with the rock in front....

[@uknwwho2984]

I've said this before and I'll say it again: you're a wizard of landscape photography, Michael! The feel you bring out with your images and vlogs is just serene and surreal, wishing you the best!

[@sharonsuskin6859]

I love the photo taken with shorter shutter speed. Sometimes it is nice to capture something closer to what the eye really sees. I love all of your work, but the last pic of the ridges was incredible.

[@ChrisPattonPhotography]

What a great location Michael, love the long exposures with the mini waterfalls off the rocks and and that final sunset with the rock pools looks fantastic 👍

[@Robertobinetti70]

Thanks

[@randyschwager2515]

Love them both but prefer the longer exposure! Thanks for the informative session!

[@joeybrinskey7795]

Michael you have a great talent and your photos are absolutely stunning…keep up the great work!

[@ashwinvasavada8401]

I really like how the colors of the sky are captured in the foam in the short exposure image. Nice video!

[@leonievanoosten781]

I just love some long exposures but all of your shots are so awesome 😍

[@juanarroyo5324]

AMAZING iMAGES N LOCATION !!!!!!!!! i love the slower shutter speeds !!! GOD BLESS !!!!!!!!

[@MichaelShainblum]

thanks so much!

[@jvalenta47]

It is wonderful way to learn from your videos and from you, one of the best! Your videos and pictures are beautiful, work of the artist, and very educational. Thanks Michael!

[@mitzimckay7934]

Gorgeous! And I personally loved the one with the water texture on the rock. Your images are stunning!

[@seantomlinson3320]

I preferred the last shot but of the two, I like that you have both. Between them my favorite depends on my mood. The energy of the faster speed is great but the calmness is good too.

[@RezaRadDM]

I love the taste and the texture of your image with a higher shutter speed.

[@VaiCatt]

Fantastic images as always. I really liked the shorter shutter speed. Thank you for bringing San Francisco's amazing sunset to my room.

[@hachewie]

Beautiful pictures man.

[@bobcat6653]

You asked about our opinions on 2 images - I prefer the simplicity that a long exposure gets you, the texture is interesting but the simplicity, for me, is king. Thanks for sharing these vlogs where you go out and explore and shoot!

[@JoDaniels]

Hi Michael, let me first complement you on your calm way of sharing your knowledge. It’s very inspiring. On the seascape I like long exposures which are giving a kind of dreamy effect. On short exposure I like the way a wave is visible when the composition isn’t to messy. Thanks for sharing!

[@davidhuth5659]

Awesome images as always. I really like the textured water. It's a nice change from the super soft water that we see in many images.

[@slvance2]

Short story - I was on a workshop with Mr. Page a couple of weeks ago. The subject of really talented photographers came up and he immediately pointed you out. I think you were shooting in dunes (not sure). You asked if it was ok to take a shot on his camera (again unsure of the details here). He said when he got home it was the best image on his card! Really enjoy your work.

[@paulus0109]

Yes… Michael online! And once again the video and photowork is great! It’s good to hear it don’t comes naturaly Michael. Sometimes it seems everything you shoot is great, but i now you put a lot of effort in it! Thnx again.

[@seanfox2346]

Video really hits home hard! Exceptionally relatable mate - appreciate this a tonne

[@Chris-NZ]

Hi Michael, great images , I especially like the one at 8.5 . Seascapes are my favourite happy place landscape photography locations, even if you don't rally nail an image you still have all the benefit of spending time close to water and nature. Cheers Chris.

[@stevematadobra6117]

love the textured image.....its not too violent and still provides a level of ethereal sometimes overdone in longer exposures. well done.

[@pensrud]

this is so rad. You always pick such good music, that fits so well. Mellow vibes. This is a spot I need to get down to Sd for. Among other spots. well done man!

[@frankf9233]

Fun to watch you at your old playground. I prefer the longer exposures because it's a little more relaxing. I'd take that golden light any day! Matches really well with the tones of the rocks.

[@scorpio4230]

The compositions, whether longer or shorter exposure, are fantastic and illicit different moods related to the energy they convey.

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks so much!

[@edwindoughty8019]

Thanks for sharing your experiences. Your composition with the rock in the foreground, triangular shaped that is further pronounced by the 16mm focal length, is the option I was seeing from the very start of your video. Thumbs up on that one.

[@slowmotionstimelapse5411]

Nice Pictures

[@joannemilburn6429]

I love your location it reminds me of one of our local beaches in West Cumbria just a few miles south of Scotland. Regarding long and short exposures until recently I've always loved long exposure then accidentally took a short exposure and loved it. Now I think there's pros and cons for both!

[@edc641]

Great video. I prefer the short exposure. Love the texture in the water.

[@karenwalter5784]

I like your idea of scouting out compositions ahead of time. I actually did that for the annular eclipse last week and it made things less hectic. My favorite shot of yours is the third one in your first set of shots. The long exposure of the water over the rocks is sensational and that sky is incredible! Thanks for another great video!

[@JayMacroPhotos]

I like all the photos!

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks Jay!

[@timothyrenninger2251]

Great photos. I liked the shorter shutter speed photo best. For me it shows the power of the water better.

[@barryashenhurst2071]

Yeah, it's chaotic, but so is the ocean. Nice one Mick.

[@scottkirkman8275]

I like the smoothness of the longer exposures myself. Great point on arriving early and exploring compositions. That is still a constant struggle for me and I end up doing the golden hour scramble for compositions and sometimes get lucky, but also get some shots that were a little disappointing. Thanks for the great vlog, as always.

[@johnfalloon596]

Fabulous images Michael

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks so much John!

[@sharonlee782]

Awesome photos as always Michael. Love that last one especially. I can see an eagles face in the foreground rock. 😀

[@alohaleslie9407]

Both are very beautiful and unique. Personally, I like the longer shutter speed which is so soothing/softer to my eyes and spirit. Still...both are stunning.

[@bobcoggin4618]

Brill 👍🏻

[@davidmaltby2065]

Thanks for an awesome and inspiring video. I like the soft water flow, but also think the image where the water was more textured is more realistic.

[@justinmeaden6281]

Simply…….stunning shots 👏👏👏 just back from long weekend in Cornwall and no luck for photography weather for these kind of lovely shots! Couple days sea fog followed by couple days blue sky. Ended up in nearby woodland with lovely river first then detail shots of waves.

[@martinpickard5818]

So many times I’ve dashed to the coast in haste set up and bang….huge disappointment…..scouting/timing is crucial.Lovely images man.👍🏻

[@talvardi6]

Thanks for sharing this experience Mike, inspiring video! It took me years to figure out the importance of scouting and I'm still learning about it every time I'm out shooting, it's comforting to know I'm not alone :) I love all these compositions man!

[@isotechimages.9130]

Yes the longer exposure on this occasion .
