Amazing location and amazing images. I particularly enjoy how you're now showing the view through the camera as you search for compositions. It very clearly illustrates (and reminds us) that small changes in position-left, right, up, down-can have substantial impact on the image.

You’ve done it again! Your abstracts are amazing. I’m flabbergasted. I’ve been to Utah/southwest six times now and every trip, every day, I feel the same way as what you describe here. I hope you return for many more enchanting sessions. Your videos are the most enjoyable of all the bloggers I follow. Thanks for that.

@GuidoVanDeWater 11 месяцев назад

Hi Michael, this is the first time that I have found you're channel and I am amazed by it. I have a small (growing) channel myself but this is next level. Would love to grt to that location someday. At 8:56 in the video there is a small lake on tip of these white rocks did you get a shot of that with the drone? Looks fantastic. You definitely have a new subscriber. Do you mind sharing where this is? I would thibk valley of fire but since I'm from the netherlands I don't know all the spots of course. Grt guido

@LarryFasnacht 29 дней назад

Ken Rockwell had one of the best pages on photography that I’ve ever seen. He had an acronym F. A. R. T. The F stands for feel. So when you’re walking past some thing, you feel something the A stands for analyze what is it about this scene that caught your attention The R stands for refined the composition kind of like what you said. the T is when you take the image. So whenever I’m out taking pictures, I’m always thinking about farts.

Yo, 24p is awful on youtube because most screens refresh at multiples of 30. There are jitters every couple of frames unless I manually tweak the speed to 1.25x :(

Hi Michael, I am going to Las Vegas / Death Valley in upcoming week and was looking into many of your videos. What location is this where you are able to drone? As a national park, Death Valley doesnt allow to drone without permission

@beyondimaginations3635 Год назад

You missed what could have been some amazing images of the vegetation growing out of the beautiful rocks area at 5:00 minutes? Great video, beautiful shots.... thanks!

@ignatiusjk 7 месяцев назад

Your photos were fine the only thing missing was...... SUN!!!! I saw it was an overcast day. Go back and takes those same photos early in the morning and late in the afternoon and see the difference. I did like the one with the dark clouds. Was that done with two separate photos or was it done in Photoshop.

@jamesmeyer1325 Год назад

Been down South West snd sleays skipped that location simply because its tricky to get to, guess third time I just have to.

@L.Spencer Год назад

I started using a wide angle, 11-18 on a crop sensor, and I'm really enjoying it. I can get whole buildings in my pictures, and it works pretty well for people and other things. Your drone images were amazing, I hope I can learn to do that someday.

@jboquiren1 6 месяцев назад

I believe the location of this photoshoot is kept top secret by the National Park Service. Access is only by lottery to reduce erosion and damage to the delicate rock formations. It is within the Grand Staircase Escalante. It is almost impossible to take a bad landscape photograph here.

@JohnDrummondPhoto Год назад

I'm not exactly a geology nerd. But, rock formations like these always leave me in wonder of the forces of nature that created them over countless millennia. I love natural abstract images. "Wow, that is really cool! That part, less cool." That's a great approach for getting original images. I don't think you said exactly where you shot this, which is fine for protecting it. But it looks like that park outside Las Vegas where the F4 Gang all did some shooting a few years ago.

Great video, Michael. It like the reminder to look at the world around us differently. To see something else. I agree with you, I'm not super technical with photography either. I would rather focus on the picture taking rather than the technicalities which just kills my creativity. Thanks for the reminder. To each to their own. Folks should just do what works for them. There is no one right way to photograph.

Ohhhhh white pocket is gorgeous!!! So alien yet mesmerizing! I was lucky enough to be there right after a storm so I got some shots with pools of water in those amazing little divots and crevices. That tree in the middle of rock was stunning. We were also there while a storm came rumbling in. I captured a shot with the bright beautiful sun on the left of one of those peaks with the storm coming in from the right. I got the shot and then got dumped on. But it was totally worth it!!

@kennethgordon9837 Год назад

Astonishing shots here Michael. Looks like at or near White Pocket, AZ. I was fortunate to get my own pics there. Extremely difficult place to get out to. I used a tour guide & fortunately this allowed me to just concentrate on my shooting & not worry about getting stuck in the sand in the drive. I agree it was so very hard not to be overwhelmed by this jaw dropping area.

@roycejohnson929 Год назад

Wow wow wow ! these shots are mind blowing ! Yes to me the " rules " are to be a guide, sometimes, but you still need to think outside the square and take in what you see as in, varying patterns and textures, after following your Videos for some time I am learning to stop and look, and it can very satisfying as what you capture once loaded on to the computer ! Cheers and very well captured, from NZ

@Wissperwind 2 месяца назад

Why do you shoot Iso 500? It is not necessary to have a fast shutter speed in wide angle... 1/30 would be enought. At F16 You start too lose detail because of diffraction. I really don't understand your settings.

@MichaelShainblum 2 месяца назад

ISO500 is the second base ISO of the A1 and is negligible compared to 100. 1/30 has the potential to be blurry, especially when moving around handheld. F16 diffraction is again negligible in terms of sharpness loss and almost indistinguishable from using a lower F-stop. F16 allowed me to get a lot more of the scene in focus than using something like F8. If you chat with more professional photographers, you will realize that all these little rules and statistics you read in photobooks do not translate to real, practical shooting. Yes, occasionally, you can use the Idealistic "F8 ISO100." Sure, but not in most cases. We use the settings we feel will best capture the scene, and it's all dependent on the situation. All of the images in the video are sharp, in focus, and clean, regardless.
