    Most of your photos looks like a painting from an artist, and that is what you are Michael.

    As much as I've enjoyed your previous videos, it was refreshing to see a photographer such as yourself to explore and learn in an environment unfamiliar to you and many others. The backlit moss on the cypress trees in many of your images were stunning. Finally a new place that's not a beach, woodland, hillside or somewhere that's frozen. Thank You!!!

    A very special place. I appreciate that both you and Gavin didn't tell the world where this is. It isn't a place for a lot of people at once. I know this place well. It's hard to shoot, because everywhere you look... it's beautiful.

    The photo at 4:50 is Off the Charts spectacular !
    I would hang that photo on my wall which is the highest compliment I could give.
    Great job considering the boat conditions. 👌🌟

    Very nice! Caddo was spectacular this year. I was there for a week Nov. 5th. I installed oar locks on my canoe and find it improves stability and control.

    I have always enjoyed your videos, and this one is no exception. As a bonus I also follow Gavin and seeing his first I was wondering how yours would be different. All of your photographs were unique and engaging...didn't get tired looking at them. One thing I noticed that was also enjoyable was the difference is music back tracks. Gavin used tracks with what I call a bayou vibe whereas your was a soft and classical piano. I think BOTH enhanced the viewing experience. I like your mellow, observational narration and instruction.

    Funny, because it looks a lot like Caddo Lake, on the border of Texas and Louisiana - see book - Photographers Guide to Caddo Lake. Nice photos!

    Hi Michael, great video as usual. Your photos are wonderful and your narration is very good. My wife and I are visiting our daughter in Texas in April and I would like to visit the swamps. I see a lot of them are near the gulf. Would you mind sharing which one you were at? Thanks Michael, I love all of your videos.

    WOW i luv Gavins photography but after watching his videos and yours i have to say you SMASHED it with your photos, they are so nice, maybe its because you are comfortable shooting handheld and higher ISO's

  • @gord_tomlin

    Absolutely fantastic bunch of images. My favorite was at 11:57. The wind blowing the moss gave it some dynamism, which I think more than made up for the less smooth water.

    So loved this video! I do a huge amount of my shooting from a kayak. Preparing the shot as you drift by is a must. Letting the wind do your work is always nice, but it means a lot of thinking ahead and planning the shot. I find to get a sharp image 200/sec is minimum in a moving kayak shooting from 100-600mm. Love your work!

  • @davidhuth5659
    @davidhuth5659 4 місяці тому

    Stunning images!! The image that grabbed me the most was on the top row all the way to the right. The thin greenish shoreline that went all the way across the image grounded it nicely. Can't wait to see more!

  • @charlesscott6202
    @charlesscott6202 4 місяці тому

    I know exactly where you were. I have been photographing the area since since 2010 and only found out about this lake two years ago. Definitely my comfort zone. Mountains are what I have the most trouble shooting.
    You are correct, it is challenging but worth it. My kayak tripod is 9 pounds and has holes drilled near the feet to allow water in and out quickly. It works very well.

    How exciting for you to have a new challenge and add these amazing images to your catalog. Although I love reflections, I found myself gravitating more towards to the ones in the breeze with the moss moving. Composition, stories and memories trump sharpness for me which I guess is a good thing sometimes!

  • @Tonpicknick
