I love waterfalls. I love photographing waterfalls. When I go to the mountains, I always think that if nothing else, I can always photograph the waterfalls.

Dude, your shots and videos are top tier. Absolutely love what you can create in those gorgeous landscapes.

Michael, you are the master of Waterfall details. Beautiful work and results

Beautiful images as always, Michael! I'm totally loving all of these waterfalls that you've been showing. I can't wait to experience one for myself in Oregon!

Great watch and lovely photos

My love took me here early in our relationship over nine years ago. Thank you for taking me back. 💖

Michael, you are probably my favorite photographer that I follow (most are in Europe). Of course, you have great subjects (fog, clouds, sea, waterfalls, etc.) and I was raised in Southern Cal but moved to Southern Nevada in middle school and still here. I always wanted to photography the Golden Gate Bridge and love your work on that bridge too, but I get jealous that you can go there all the time with different weather patterns. I grew to hate the desert but when I seriously got into studying photography and bought great equipment, I fell in love with the desert too. No matter where you live, you can explore your environment and fall in love with it and cause other to love it too with your photos. Just thought I would show my appreciation for your art. Thanks

Just beautiful. Some of those images are eerily similar to images of Nebulas, from the James Webb and Euclid telescopes.

You are in my neck of the woods!

I liked the abstract 11:54 the most.

Really glad you like that one, its one of my favorites as well!

Sticking to one location for a period of time pays off. Showing the results of different shutter speeds was helpful and the isolated images were my favorite. A series of abstracts from this shoot would make for an interesting wall display. You certainly demonstrated that patience and practice result in creating some beautiful images. Thanks for the video.

Hey thanks so much, I would love to print some of these abstracts out, thats a great idea!

Excellent photos. You really have a good eye for finding those compositions.

Great images! Just when I was getting a bit bored with photographing waterfalls, I see this and am inspired again. That shot near the end with the dipper on a rock is just wonderful!

The rainbow photographs looked like distant nebula's. Waterfalls are my favourite waterscapes to photograph.

Always a pleasure to watch your videos.

Great instruction Michael, thank you. Phenomenal results, Wow!

Very nice sir! The image @ 9:25 looks like a rainbow apparition appearing out of the mist. As for enjoying the experience, I did just that this weekend. I drove around my Vegas hood for about 500 miles and took hundreds of images. So enjoyable and therapeutic.

Some of my best waterfall images ever were taken at FCF. Love this place!

Chefs kiss as always. I always wonder how you do it. I seem to fight my sigma 100-400 when it comes to these kinds of shots. No idea why but it always misses focus even manually with focus peaking on. But images like this are why I hold onto it. I only dream of finally getting stuff like this. Thanks for always being an incredible inspiration.

Good job, stunning rainbow pictures.

Awesome video as usual. It's helpful to me to see the area you're working in without a refined composition first, so I can better learn what to look out for. Especially for long exposures it's cool to see what the scene looks like beforehand.

You're the best, bar none.

I have to give you credit for my recent purchase of the Sigma 100-400mm for Sony. I’ve been struggling for months to decide on a long zoom. As much as I liked the idea of either the Sony 100-400mm or the 200-600mm, I just didn’t like the size and weight. Seeing all the amazing images you’ve been able to capture with the Sigma helped me to decide on it. Couldn’t be happier with it. Optics are great and the size helps make it easy to bring with me.

thanks so much most of the video takes place in the same spot just different angles. But at the end I share images from various spots around Eugene OR. There a couple example shots mixed in from Mt Hood and Wahclella Falls.

great video and some great shots. Would you say filters are essential to fully explore waterfall photography?

@MichaelShainblum

28 күн бұрын

Thanks! Hmmm well I would definitely recommend them as they open up a lot of possibilities for different shots. But you can get away with photographing waterfalls if you do not have them, you would be a bit more limited though.

Wonderful as always but I'd really like to know how you shot those slo-mo clips of the rapids! I have an idea how but I'm very curious what you used.

@MichaelShainblum

Thank you! So the ones where it looks like I am in the water I use a go-pro attached to a 12 foot pole, I should really do a full video on it haha. For the long lens slowmo stuff I just do those on my A7S camera from afar.

@@MichaelShainblum Hey, thanks for the reply! That's kind of what I figured. Looks really nice!

I know that ND filters are best for long exposures. Would it be best to use a CPL filter for fast shutter speeds and water-flow?

@MichaelShainblum

Ай бұрын

CPLs are for cutting out reflected light. This can help foliage look more vivid and cut out reflections on water. So it really depends on what you are shooting. For those first long exposures the CPL helped to simplify some of the rock in the shot. But for most of the other images in the video I didn't need the CPL.
