Trying NEW Techniques | SEASCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY | 100-400mm & 16-35mm

[@bikerdave1967]

Thanks Michael, Beautiful film. In a world gone mad, these few minutes of escapism is just what we need to keep our spirits up. Fantastic images.

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@daemon1143]

I'm impressed. I clicked on this to waste a few minutes, expecting more of the same; you know the sort of thing, a pelican on a pier with long exposure water around it or such. Instead I learned a technique I've not tried and saw some stunning images that well exceed my own abilities. Thanks for making the effort Michael.

[@fototripper]

Loved that pano and the one immediately after. Be cool to see a perspective blend where you magnify the bridge so it has similar weight to the stacks.

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks man, hope all is well!

[@paulkay8986]

I think those waves images are the perfect antidote if you do find yourself in a creative rut. They were truly beautiful...

[@Kabouterplop01]

I like the "Simple" wide frame better, i like the textures and stream from the water on the rock. awesome image Michael.

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks! :)

[@Karmakazi369]

Ditto

[@Karmakazi369]

Sublime

[@hikersguide]

They are all pretty amazing. I like the 16MM single shot the best. So beautiful.

[@TexasPelican]

Simple wide image is my favorite, but hey, they are ALL amazing!!

[@midge148]

Wide shot for me, a single moment in time that will never be replicated. Sublime image!! 👍

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thank you so much Richard! :)

[@midge148]

@@MichaelShainblum no worries, keep up the inspiring stuff 👍

[@chadhinz4456]

I like the single image over the pano. Simply beautiful with the water cascading down the sea stack.

[@judilecompte9377]

Magnificent shots! Especially like the longer exposure wave shots.

[@andychattaway5620]

I love the more simple image and it's the best picture I've seen of the bridge.

[@SuvradipDasPhotographyOfficial]

Undoubtedly one of the greatest photographers that ever walked the earth, you're photos inspired me to start me with photography, thanks for being such an inspiration, you are such a nice person, god bless you sir.

[@floravanwageningen5041]

Love the balance of the pano and how the wave texture wraps at the base of the rock stack.

[@MarkMetternichPhotographyLLC]

Great video and my favorite subject to photograph. Yes, I too could do it all day. Every day! Thank you. You are a photographic freak!

[@DevanGoodwin]

I live near the ocean and have been trying to take up seascape photography. Were locked down right now but this was a terrific relaxing and inspirational film to watch. Thanks for posting.

[@ronansclear6204]

The last but one is just amazing !! Love it !!

[@juhaniviitanenphotography1607]

Nice to see many different kind of photos from the same place and same evening.

[@amaitra]

Simple wide one! The waves were pretty cool too!

[@seantomlinson3320]

I prefer the simpler shot too but I liked the earlier waves and the last the best. Nicely done.

[@keoni37]

The simple wide frame for sure! Great video Michael!

[@drbva2]

like the video! Like the simplicity of the single wide angle shot. The final long exposure/minimalist shot is stellar! Excellent work.

[@MichaelSlaunwhite]

Such a great set of photos from the waves to the end with the sea stack. I like the wide angle shot of the bridge more than the pano but both were excellent.

[@joelmerlet8014]

Thanks a lot for all your advises and your creativity ! You have an amazing eye !!! Take care !

[@lindahenderson2113]

Thank you, Michael. I wish I had watched this video 2 weeks ago when I was shooting in Big Sur! I love the wave photos!

[@lindakarlin2980]

Great video. Super sunset shots. Thank you for the waves shots and mini tutorial.

[@ybasurf]

I love them both, but the panorama is just so impressive. It’s something that I would love to see covering an entire wall inside a house. Great work!

[@allaneastcoast]

Thanks for sharing Michael. Will try these techniques at the local beach this weekend.

[@gaetanoscalfidi]

A day to remember. Can't tell which shot I like the most. Those pastel colors, from the waves to the sky are magic.

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks so much!

[@photosbyjosef]

Amazing video another fantastic video period from one professional photographer to another I can't tell you how much I learn from you and how much I enjoy your amazing photos

[@randyschwager2515]

I like the wide frame! Excellent blog! Very educational! Thanks!

[@clarerynhart3855]

I love the diamond shape the rocks make in the foreground of the pano.

[@garygoldsmith9844]

Nice! Getting out of the box always pays off!

[@ericcarter3617]

Your post processing never ceases to amaze me. Bananas good.

[@David_Glazebrook]

Simple wide frame because it gets to the essence of the image similarly to your last image of the seastack. The crop you show us at 12m41s has the main subject sandwiched with a pleasing balance of the blue sky and sea and warm pastel hints of the sunset. Most soothing. Thanks for this calming video that I enjoyed on the other side of the world at 5am with a cup of peppermint tea :)

[@verlenelewis9866]

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode, so many wonderful shots! I liked the ‘simple’ photo over the panorama, and the cotton candy sunset shot of the bridge was the best👍

[@christphertimo]

These videos are my therapy

[@aaronza7218]

The pano shot looks great to me. Thanks Michael.

[@dpstarling]

I like the wide frame. Great color in both.

[@Patrickkeller22]

the panorama of the Golden gate with the rocks leading into the image is great

[@DavidTpitCabrera]

man, what a stunning photos! I loved the 2nd single shot.

[@cmichaelhaugh8517]

I especially love the translucent turquoise color in the wave shots.

[@MichaelShainblum]

That is one of my favorite parts of those images as well, thanks so much!

[@matthiasrichter-foto-7]

Wonderful images. I wish I had such ab beautiful place in near of the sea. Thank you for sharing your fotos and content.

[@joernsbilderwelt]

Beautiful, Michael! I prefer the single wide shot over the panorama.

[@2012photograph]

Timely is everything to get a great sea shot.

[@serduvelo]

both beautiful. I prefer the more simple shot. Makes the bridge mor important.

[@altrujillo3566]

Thanks! I like the simple wide-angle shot best.

[@speygeek]

Every shot was amazing but my favourite was the 30 second long exposure, such a feel.

[@aslamartnet]

I enjoy watching your videos; your tips are helpful, especially to a newbie photographer like me. I’m heading to the beach soon, it’s windy in the north east of England, we’re expecting big waves. Enjoy your day and thank you for sharing your passion.

[@surajitadhikary4325]

Excellent photography. I feel very inspired by your photography.

[@alexlaouri]

Amazing photos and ideas. Lately your usage of the telephoto lens is an eye opener for all of us! Thank you.👏

[@4gharpure]

Beautiful images! I liked the simple single shot of the bridge and not the panorama.

[@Emmermacher]

Hello Michael. A great video again. Both pictures are very well. There it is hard to say what is the better one. I like the second one a little bit more😍.

[@zadokwest]

Love the non pano version. What absolutely fabulous conditions...When real life looks like a film set! Also love the Wave shots great for large prints!

[@lindarichter2185]

This is so beautiful you're making me cry

[@philpatelis2326]

Every time I watch your videos I am so mesmerised. Such an amazing eye for finding images that capture the moment. I certainly liked the wide-angle shot you took, framed everything so well.

[@ntompson000]

Simple and wide for me. Great video - really enjoyed it.

[@brucewdelorme]

Lo e the simple wide frame. love the way the wave is dancing down the back of the rock on the left. Love how the rocks lead you to the Bridge. Beautiful! The lone seastack at the end. Sime, clean and the pastel colors are beautiful. Great shot

[@rmanuelb]

Going to try some of your ideas this weekend. Great video. Thanks

[@iaincphotography6051]

Great shots Michael, the last one beautiful.

[@janroos7518]

I like the single wide angle image way more. But those tele wave photos i think are epic!!

[@JohnHPettigrewFujishooter67]

Stunning images Michael, thanks for sharing.

[@elusivelens1744]

Very well done video. Love those beach strolls of yours.

[@samuelbravo4996]

By this days we need photos like this. Really Fantastic. Thank you for allowing us to be in such a wonderfull places and to see through your lens how beautiful God’s creation is.

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks Samuel!

[@borissmit7112]

Love the longer exposure wave shots. Just beautiful.

[@lisarobertson7011]

beautiful evening and location - loved all the images !

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks!

[@llchan]

Michael, I personally like the simple wide shot better than the panorama. The simple wide shot not only has cleaner composition and elements, but the water on the left extends outside the frame and gives breadth to the ocean. At least that’s what my brain imagines when I was looking at that photo. By the way, the 3 photos that you took with relatively long exposure (1/4s) with you tracking, your first one is my favorite. It shows calmness but at the same time conveys motion due to the basting waves. Well done!

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks so much Larry!

[@shannonsnow8298]

I love them all but the “ simple” scene is the nicest!💕💕

[@nldazuu]

Very nice seascapes. Good tips, use the long lens and zoom in with the motion, simple wide frame my favorite.....

[@johndurrant9929]

Really enjoyed that one Michael. You got a good variety of shots. Also, I would like to thank you for not swearing in the videos, unlike some do. The slow manner of speaking, not trying to cram too much in works very well. less is more right. Good job.

[@MichaelShainblum]

I keep all my swearing for when Adobe Premiere crashes on me :P

[@robertocastro4403]

Beautiful images Michael. My fave the bridge with the single wide angle.

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks!

[@JJRAIA-es9cj]

The single shot makes the bridge more prominent instead of so small in the pano.

[@jimwlouavl]

Very peaceful video. I think I prefer the non-panorama, simpler shot of the bridge.

[@OldGirlPhotography]

Thanks, Michael. You've proven just how much versatility there can be even when you are confined to one location. But you live in an amazing location. I guess everyone feels though that somewhere else is more interesting than their own home base. I'll have to see what I've been missing in mine. Thanks again.

[@wendynewing8834]

What a beautiful and informative video. Thank you so much. The slow motion images are stunningly beautiful and painterly. Every images is absolutely gorgeous. With regard to the pano verses the wide angle shot, there is no way that I can choose between them as they are both so lovely.

[@tonyfazio575]

The wide shot draws me into my own story about the bridge. Both are great. So appreciate your talent🙏.

[@edwindoughty8019]

Great video! Loved it. Nice results and good ideas shared too. Thanks.

[@klausschleicher523]

I like the simple wide frame better, but both are cool. It was great to see how many different kinds of images (IMO all you have shown would be keepers) you got on one evening.

[@AbhishekDey90]

Liked the single exposure more.. Because simple is beautiful

[@joellayaa-laulhe4734]

I prefer the single shot over the panorama. It is more calm and simple as you said. The rocks framing the scene in the panorama add some disquietness to it. The telephoto shots from the wabes in the beginning are really cool. Need to try that when I'm by the sea next time...

[@billybraithwaite67]

Simply stunning images Michael 👌

[@davidpeak1323]

Great video & images! Thanks for the new ideas! 🙌💚

[@sharondmeber3802]

love the long exposure on the waves!! I enjoyed the single exposure compared to the panoramic...Thanks!

[@thanko1]

You make it really tough to pick a favorite, Michael. I liked the last wave only shot most. Superb video as always.

[@leikosdani]

Absolutely amazing images.

[@raesalmon]

Nice video Michael, love the light on those wave shots. I hope I can get close enough with my 200mm. Panorama shot is awesome too !

[@roadtripper2656]

What a beautiful video. Your videos has provided much-need inspiration for my own photography, especially given the current limitations on travel. Thank you for posting.

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks so much!

[@Slewis71119]

Like the simple one wide frame.

[@LisaOsta]

I like the simple version. Thank you.

[@gerryroncolato8895]

Michael, great job and super video! Thanks for showing us your variations on a theme!! And, to answer your question, I preferred the single-exposure image over the pano. Though, until I saw the single, I really liked the pano!! And I loved the minimalist sea stack image.

[@paulscott9329]

New subscriber. Very relaxing viewing. Love the simple image. The light, composition and capture of movement make an awesome image.

[@alexgimagery]

Beautiful images, the pano and the wide both work very well on their own.

[@chrisroot7182]

Wow, very strong set of images. I preferred the single shot rather than the pano. But I think my favorite was the very last shot. Loved the softness of the light and the patterns in the sand. Cheers!

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks so much Chris!

[@ladislavasouralova3248]

Wonderful images. I like the simple image better.

[@Michael0bergmann]

Love the pano. The other one water looks like ‘soup’’

[@antonoat]

Beautiful images Michael, loving the photos with the slower shutter speed, going to have to try this myself. thanks for sharing your work. cheers.

[@guykerr8111]

Thanks... I prefer the wide angle to the panorama shot. Yes, watch those waves!

[@kareemtejumola5443]

I love all the pictures but I love the panorama more

[@manueladurson701]

Your videos leave me entranced. Speechless about the beauty you create. If I’m only getting half as good as you I shall be happy

[@jeffsawkins]

Loved them both but preferred the framing of the pano. So look forward to your vlogs 👍

[@davidalanmedia]

Michael, the wide-angle of the bridge was amazing.
