This is why you're one of my favorite photographers Michael. Not just because your images are incredible, but your humble and relaxed approach to your photography is refreshing. A great example for all of us!

@MichaelShainblum Год назад

Thank you so much man, I really appreciate it!

@nancymatheson8602 Год назад

You've inspired me to spend time looking more closely. AND, the reminder to calm down a bit after the initial excitement, to really search for your composition.

@kerrygrim7934 Год назад

Refreshing to see your videos that are strictly NOT vistas. No one does abstracts as well as you do. Thanks for sharing your talent and videos.

@jeromec3725 Год назад

The "bubbles" one is really striking 👍

@MichaelShainblum Год назад

Thank you! :)

@Slewis71119 Год назад

You are an amazing Landscape Photographer

@MichaelShainblum Год назад

That's a really kind thing to say, thanks so much Scott!

@katemaxwell6061 Год назад

Oh wow such beautiful images. Favourites are the one at 4.41 and the sand tree sitting on the wave hill….but all are great and you’ve inspired me to look more closely at what’s under my feet.

@simon_dentremont Год назад

Love the cinematic touches to this video Michael. As a new RU-vidr, I’m always looking for inspiration! Thanks!

@davebryer6133 Год назад

I preferred the non lava lava shoot that was zoomed out a bit, and the added gray rock pattern added to the image. When the image with the white line was shown my first thought was looks like the horizon and some tornados, so you were not the only one who thought that.

@HeyItsFlames Год назад

Love it man. Shows what’s so special about photography for me. Plenty of people could go to these spots, but it’s usually photographers that will sit by a rock and stare at it for hours, amazed by the textures and colors. The appreciation for nature is something so awesome to me

@andrewfuller62 Год назад

I love the image at 4:37.....it has three elements which make it sort of look like a drone shot. Blue at the bottom being the ocean, the orange being the was of the surf and the earthy colour at the top being that of the shore.

@weegreenblobbie Год назад

At 6:50, I prefer the right composition, with the orange zigzag. Love these gray rocks! Love the sand patterns at 11:12 also, the subtle light across it makes really makes it.

@woflgangdurst6752 Год назад

Wow! Beautiful Images. Love them all. Your pictures are truly unique and hauntingly Beautiful. Wolfgang

@JohnDrummondPhoto Год назад

As a fan of Abstract Expressionism and a former painter. I really enjoyed your series of intimate geological studies. The science geek in me is also interested in the unique geology of the Bay area. There's a great story of tectonic metamorphosis within those cracks and layered colors.

@saurabhkaul89 Год назад

wow ..blissed out

@MichaelShainblum Год назад

😎

@garrydelday5816 Год назад

Beautiful images Micheal, if there is one thing I have learnt over the last few years, it is to look closer. The natural world produces stunning patterns and textures everywhere, capturing them can be fun and often rewarding 👌

@badger67 Год назад

Thank you for the vlog. Very inspirational for me. Outstanding pics. As regards to the 2 images, I'm going to choose the up close and basic one as my favourite.

@jvalenta47 Год назад

Michael, this was one of the best photography vlog I have ever seen. And I have watched lots of them. It was very educational and personal at the same time. Well, maybe it hit me just in my low point of photography time and gave me some inspiration. Thanks.

@melissam731 Месяц назад

I liked both and can see them in a group display. Very nice.

@lieslwalshphotography Год назад

I like how your abstract images have wonderful color, texture and emotion. Your videos have a nice calming mood, very nice, thanks!

@AnthonyCrouchPhotography Год назад

I like the 3rd after the two you ask to compare, shaped like a phoenix rising out of fire

@vamsipatchigolla Год назад

Always an inspiration sir ❤️

@MichaelShainblum Год назад

Thank you so much! :)

@Atrain5ss 20 дней назад

Truly amazing work... your the king of textures & small details! Absolutely love the collection of shots at the end.

@mpaulphoto Год назад

A really great incentive for me: getting out of my comfort zone, try something new, challenge myself, be more creative... All things I didn't do for a very long time. Thanks Michael for this video!!

@shawndonnelly5317 Год назад

Great video and advice. I believe that in photography there are no failures, but many opportunities to learn and grow.

@melissahall7009 Год назад

Enjoyed this. Thank you!! ❤ I probably like the one on the left of screen best.

@billpanuska5775 Год назад

Outstanding! One of my favorites from your channel. This was well-written, rich with helpful, wise advice … and great photos. As for the choice, I go with the tighter image on the left. But, immediately following the two choices, a third frame of the same subject made me go crazy with happiness! Finally, my teenage grandson shows promise with his creative work. I emphatically recommended your channel as the only one he needs to watch. Thanks for all the talent you share.

@markledbury3666 Год назад

Hi Michael, this was an absolutely awesome vlog! It was great to see how you approached ‘diving deeper into the landscape’ with your photography. I, too, enjoy searching for patterns and colors in the closer up landscape. You’ve inspired me to do even more of this. Thank you!😎

@MichaelShainblum Год назад

Thank you so much Mark, happy shooting, I hope you get some awesome stuff! :)

@DarrenJSpoonley Год назад

4:45 looked liked and incoming wave by drone :-) those orange lava shots were stunning too

@joanhuggett5164 Год назад

You sure do know how to broaden this girls appreciation of photography. I liked the 'bigger' version of the image you asked for comment. You and Will Patino are something else. Thanks Michael.

@heathhooper8126 Год назад

Thought the brown/yellow sand shots near the beginning looked like a giraffe’s hide, and the parterns in some of them reminded me of diego rivera paintings. Love your work and videos!

@Clickrbee Год назад

wow...these are stunning... I live in a boring area, but perhaps looking at smaller details is the way to go... I'm excited to try something things differently!

@janroos7518 Год назад

Beautiful video and beautiful photo's. Also shows that one can make great abstract "seascapes" without having great vistas around.

@abacab1701 Год назад

Wow. Thanks Michael. You've got me wanting to pick my camera up and get out. Thanks Man.

@santiagojakas472 Год назад

I love the philosophy you have behind photography. Regarding your question, I prefer the zoomed in photograph. I think is the first one.

@MichaelShainblum Год назад

Thanks Santiago, glad you enjoyed that one! :)

@danconstantinescu Год назад

Amazing photos! The texture is simply wow!

@danmckee4988 Год назад

As you said, others don’t see what was closest to your heart when you captured those photos, only you do. As I say, the best photo is the one you take, it special because you where there remembering the “awe” of that moment…

@jamesmcleod4335 10 месяцев назад

Every bit of this resonated with me to my core.

@jesse113553 Год назад

7:03. I like the broader chaotic composition as it reminds me of an autumnal scenes with golden leaves in the forest

@marilynhoon1031 Год назад

Definitely the pulled back shot…love this vlog

@JasonTeale Год назад

I really like the thought that you put into this video. I struggle with growing and learning new things a lot as a photographer. This has helped give me some new perspective. thank you.

@heathermtaylor7683 Год назад

Thoroughly enjoying your abstractions. Really beautiful ❤️

@noelleenboyers9120 Год назад

I can so relate. The photos I like are the ones that others don't like. I guess like all art work, we do it for ourselves first. I love the way you encourage creativity out of us. Thank you

@davidpeters.photography Год назад

Thank you Michael for another great episode of your nice calming voice. I Enjoy your way of presenting your shots. Almost like a father telling a bedtime story.

@MichaelShainblum Год назад

haha thanks so much David!

@johndoe-nh9sh Год назад

'Create a different story than the subject is showing'. I like that advice, thanks for sharing your thoughts.

@rcen20 Год назад

Beautiful! I recently subscribed, and I have to say, this particular video really speaks to me. I'm going through a real photography slump right now, for various reasons. And this just gives me that little bit of inspiration to try something different.

@richardpesce5325 Год назад

really wonderfully beautiful presentation. Thanks for the lesson!

@randyschwager2515 Год назад

Fun stuff! Thanks for taking me along!

@showReell Год назад

12:09 wow this is stunning

@KimSol90 Год назад

wow stunning photos! now this just gave me a boost of motivation to take abstract photos!

@adriennedragophotography Год назад

Thanks for this vlog, Michael. I don't do any abstract photography, but you've inspired me to get to the coast at low tide to see what I can capture.

@MichaelShainblum Год назад

Thanks Adrienne, definitely get out there and shoot some. It's a great thing to do especially on days when the conditions aren't looking amazing.

@bossofthemoss450 Год назад

Your diagonal compositions excited me most (after the initial shots). Great work. They all let the viewer create/imagine their own story/dialogue. 👍👏👏👏

@KellyPettit Год назад

I've said this before but your eye is incredible. It's also very inspiring. Thank you. Love the way you do you vlogs. Actually, a real compliment is that my wife and daughter do too! Thanks for this.

@FlareWalk Год назад

it all looks amazing. last time i tried to go out and capture seascape/abstract photography i didnt come away with anything i really felt good about. maybe ill try again soon.

@stevejarvis186 Год назад

Hi I prefer the shot thats not cropped in. Once I had watched this to the end and saw all of your images I thought WOW because when I`m down at the shore I try to look for the incredible shapes nature produces as well. I love the abstracts that nature comes up with and the next day, in the same spot it will all be totally different! Thank you this was a fantastic video.

@AliasJimWirth Год назад

Excellent Video, Michael. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I like the advice as well. Thank you.

@SgtNarrow Год назад

Man, you could shoot literally anything and make it work. Brilliant!

@barbarachamberlain6918 Год назад

By a slim margin, I preferred the more zoomed out image on the right. An excellent vlog!

@michaelhegemeyer2827 Год назад

This vlog was great! I really like the image on the right as it reminds me of two continents shot from space.

@armstrongphotography21 Год назад

Really great video. Thank you for the simple reminder to slow down. And really look at photography from a different perspective. I am glad I watched this video. You photo are great the first 2 I think they compliment each other well. So its not easy picking one over the other. Again great video. 👍

@MarkFloyd7451 Год назад

I like the pulled back shot that shows more pattern and more texture on the right at about 6:56 mark. Really nice video with creative shots and great info.

@danhiggins8733 Год назад

This! So helpful, Michael, as always. I just returned from a weekend at the Oregon Coast. And I was struck once again by the incredible opportunities for composition in that every changing environment. Light and water. Weather, seasons. And so many potential compositions. Your videos have been such an inspiration for me trying new compositions, seeing things differently. And it is helping me to learn that less is more. That I don't need to get everything in the frame. Oh, and one huge benefit of the high MP cameras that we have available now is the ability to crop if we see something different or better once we get home. Always looking forward to your next video!

@WaseemAsmar Год назад

thank you Michael..

@NilanjanGoswami_wildlife Год назад

I am from India, a wildlife photographer but very much fascinated about Landscape... I watch your Vlogs and videos to refresh my idea of photography, thank you for sharing your experience and images with us, I am hoping that someday you will come to INDIA to conduct a Workshop... Will be joining there with you to learn from you in LIVE... Lots of Love and Respect... Have a nice Day

@williamzaca6280 Год назад

Michael great video and amazing photos

@JJ-ef7lb Год назад

Great shots! Really great. Definitely inspired me to try something different. Thank you 👍

@thomastuorto9929 Год назад

Since you asked, at 6:34, I like the pulled back/wider photo better & the 1 you showed after those 2 even better. This abstract type photography is more what I would call Fine Art Photography over the smooth water long exposure photos of old pier pilings. (not knocking them) I believe these would probably sell well in a gallery. But me, not being in the business could be just my personal taste & completely wrong. Nice vid.

@richardpesce5325 Год назад

Like the close up shot!

@keithnisbet Год назад

Just spectacular. Incredible collection of colours & patterns. It pays to slow down and pay close attention to detail, especially those little things that others ignore. Thanks

@fubband Год назад

Wonderful work, Michael 🙌🏻 I really love the orange and grey rock images, I could see them working really well as a set of six in a grid on the wall of a funky, contemporary apartment 👍🏻 My favourite is at 7:05, the orange part looks like a top down view of a bird in flight to me, with the head and beak at the top and wings to the right and left

@MichaelShainblum Год назад

Thanks so much, if I flipped that image its almost like the batman symbol.

@garyedwards1268 Год назад

Great video on abstract photography. I prefer the close up of the red orange rock scene. It is amazing what you can see when you delete deeper into a scene. Thank you for the inspiration.

@mariankulin3182 Год назад

so peacefull ! like always

@denisemann4694 Год назад

Absolutely loved this video and all your creative shots. You inspire me to look more closley at shoreline details when I visit the Texas gulf coast.

@MichaelShainblum Год назад

Thanks Denise! I have never been out there before, would be really cool to see what you capture!

@grahamfloyd3451 Год назад

Thank you. This video inspired me to appreciate the little things around me and I will try and shoot some abstract shots next time I go out.

@brandonmjohnsonphotography Год назад

WOW! So glad I watched this video. I'm glad one of my photography friends told me about you. I love the closer up abstract of the orange and grey. I loved the tornado example. That's really neat!

@andrewsimpson5436 Год назад

A great set and example of looking for the smaller things, Oh and I prefer the tighter shot, I like the flow out of the bottom right.

@BruceMcGrath1954 Год назад

Michael, this was awesome, you have given me a new prospective on photographing my “local” beach (an hour away) it’s called the Ninety mile beach, nothing but sand and surf and sand dunes. But I think I have been looking at too big a picture and not the smaller parts that make a whole. Thank you. Cheers from Gippsland, Australia ❤🇦🇺🍷

@YevgenyKheifets Год назад

Great abstracts, I liked the second image because it has more contrast between orange and blacks ⚫️

@johncharlton Год назад

6:40 I like the image on the right best.Just a better composition for me. I like that the orange is clearly shown as the bottom layer here. I can imagine that I'm looking at a small portion of a giant sphere with the top layer of blue rocks crumbling away to reveal the core.

@raymondludlow5970 Год назад

Well said, thank you

@AnthonyJGianotti Год назад

I like the slightly zoomed out shot

@carmenjgarciap8153 Год назад

I love all the photos, but out of the two photos I like the one on the right side the most.

@ryankyte6914 Год назад

All these images are wonderful. I most enjoyed the sand images and the one at 11:45 reminded me of the ancients!

@amanvora242 Год назад

I liked the more zoomed out shot and the extra texture in the bluish rocks. The abstract pictures were so good. Makes you really appreciate how many things there are to see apart from just the wide angle sunset shots.

@alexgimagery Год назад

These are amazing, Michael. Surely you can make a zine or a book just from this set of photos. Fantastic work!

@Mrfoug Год назад

Love this kind of relaxing video! Good work :)

@donnakeeley4531 Год назад

Awesome photos Michael. I have been doing a similar thing lately, really looking at what's around, not just the obvious and the photos I took in 2022 were really interesting. I look forward to all your videos and once again was not disappointed.

@frankmartinez5114 Год назад

Hey Michael, absolutely awesome video.

@MichaelShainblum Год назад

thank you so much!

@_andy_gibb_ Год назад

As many others have said, that was a great video with some absolutely terrific images! Really loved the abstracts 👍

@MichaelShainblum Год назад

Thanks Andy, glad you enjoyed it!

@DA-yd2ny Год назад

My favourites are at 11:00-end. Thanks for the inspiration.

@robinmartin1395 Год назад

All of the image were really great! I think I enjoyed the images that included a bit more of the different colors. As always beautiful photographs.

@hilleviupmanis8687 Год назад

Thank you!

@andreasrot9558 Год назад

Very very good Idea!😊

@nealschneider6554 Год назад

This was another great vlog, Michael. Asking us to pick which of the “lava” photos we like best is a really difficult question. Both are fabulous (understatement) pictures! But, if I must choose one, I would say that I like the tighter view a little better. I really like the calm approach you take to your photography and vlogs, at least outwardly calm.

@goanheat Год назад

Some of my fav shots Michael.

@c.alcazar2584 Год назад

Love the photos,I always live the photos about waves, from the two that you ask the one on the right I like a little more.

@cameragirl5554 Год назад

Thank you for bringing us along!

@josecarlosmora9318 Год назад

Me encanto Michael, muy bueno

@huishamblee9981 Год назад

I love your vedios . Can you share the places name under vedio every time ? I enjoy take photos but don't have time to looking good place. Thank you .
