Most of your photos looks like a painting from an artist, and that is what you are Michael.
Wow, thank you so much Michel!
Prerequisite#1 : early riser
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. 👌🌟
The colours in these photos were absolutely beautiful.😍 I love how you notice the different textures. The bayou is so peaceful. ♥️
Wow, what beautiful pictures, colors and scene, well done love it.
Great video man. Those pictures are really intriguing. Once the ice comes off the water I'm hoping to get out in my canoe and give this a Shot. Cheers from Alberta Canada.
Lots of great photos in here, 5 and 13 on the grid at the end stand out but great points of interest across all of them.
Absolutely beautiful 😍
I love all of these pictures, they are all damn beautiful. I wish I can see this by myself, I am a little bit jealous 🙂
Amazing images!! Thanks for taking me along!
Your photographs are spectacular! You amaze me…over and over! I cant pick a favorite! Where are you! I want to travel there!!! Thanks for taking me along!
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.
You are absolutely the GOAT. Your creativity and vision is nothing short of amazing. Thanks for another fantastic vlog.
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!
A very magical place to photograph....the light, textures, Swamp Cypress trunks and Spanish Moss seems to create an etheral feel to all your images...thank you for sharing this - Julia
My favorite was the bottom row, middle image. The simplicity of the photo with the shadows draw me in the most.
Thank you michael 🔝👏🏻📸
All beautiful, but the first and second from the left in the bottom row were my favorites. Thank you for taking me along to this magical place! Would you be willing to say which marsh/lake it is?
All exquisite 👍
What a relaxing (for the viewer) and beautiful video. Loved all the photos. The color and texture were incredible. Thanks for taking us along.
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.
Your fotos are 2nd to none. Just gorgeous man. Makes me want to get out and make a new video😂😅
That means a ton to hear thanks so much!
Magical! Warm vs. Cold ie. Orange on Grey/Blue/Black is just beautiful and then back lit on top of that..!! Love it 100%! 👍
Thanks, glad you like it!
The photo in the top right of the grouping was my favorite! The lighting on those two trees with that color just stood out to me! Amazing work!
I love them all. Choosing one, I believe it is the 17th in the series. 4 cypresses grouped with the trunk visible at the surface of the water. Wonderful grouping.
gorgeous
I liked them all but several of them have a very ethereal quality to them that is just gorgeous
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
Very nice job! I go there every year and recognize that location, great job in capturing it. Too bad it's getting so crowded. There are other great areas around the lake.
Beautiful!
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.
All the images shown are excellent...well done!
Magical photos ❤
Wow! Some of the best shots I've ever seen from down there! Love the different colors and the moss blowing in the wind. Really on my bucket list now.
They are all Amazing !!!
just beautiful, enchanted, magical. Love it.....
Definitely an inspiration! any change you'll capture the bixby creek bridge? love to see your take.
My God you’ve captured such beautiful photos. What an eye you have and editing talent. Amazing. Where is this in Texas and what time of year for the colors? Thanks as always. Great stuff.
wow wow wow - amazing!!!!
They were all my favorites. You are truly an artist.
Fabulous set. I love your style and these are so neat. I’m surprised by the variety from dark and moody to some bright and cheerful. Wow.
They're all lovely photos. Interesting to see how both you and Gavin came to a new location and came away with photos in your own styles.
Stunning!
Some amazing shots. Favs @ 7.30 and 13.50. Excellent.
Using a tripod in a canoe must have been a challenge….beautiful photos as always from you. Thanks!
Beautiful images! Hard to pick a favorite!
So abstract, amazing colours, excellent Micheal
You captured some really amazing photos Michael. I can't say that I would choose one of the others because each one is unique and they all look fantastic.
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!
Wonderful photos of a remarkable location. I was there last summer during an intense thunderstorm. Looking forward to returning
They all look like beautiful paintings.
Gavin still owes you. Thank you for posting. Very interesting location. Nothing like that back here in Australia. You are so calm compared to Gavin the Chocolate Gobbler.
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!
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.
That was a beautiful piece, Michael - looking forward to episode 2!
Cypress swamps look so different to my Northern Rockies landscapes - I have to make it a bucket list place!
Your photography is dreamlike and mesmerizing! Love all the photos! Can I ask what month these were taken in?
Excellent video, Michael! Always a great time watching
Lovely shots, Michael! Really enjoyed how you worked the scene with a wide variety of comps🔥
Unreal stuff! Great work!
These photos are spectacular! The colors are just beautiful.
thank you :)
Truly wondrous images Michael. many thanks for sharing !
Different level Man !! 👏👏👏
This was great! Really beautiful shots!!
Exquisite work. All these photographs are enthralling.
Awesome captures and video. Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s a great inspiration.😊
All beautiful! I really like to see how you work your composition throughout the video !
Absolutely love this spot. I too went nice and early in November once and had the lake to myself it seemed. Great images too
Certainly beautiful images
Awesome images Michael, those colours and textures😮 I always really like your telephoto work, very inspiring. Another great vid👏
Really cool shooting environment! Its own unique beauty! Really enjoyed this video.
Whoa, these are some stunning shots, well done!
Gorgeous!
Thank you! 😊
really amazing images!
So many beautiful photos! Impressive!
Thanks so much!
awesome images Michael!
This video and these photos are just incredible, Michael! I’m dying to shoot this place in the fall and I loved seeing your experience there and now know a tiny bit better what to expect!
Loved this. What time of year were you there?
Thanks I was there in Autumn of last year.
Very insightful watching your vids. I will say without a doubt bottom middle is my favorite and bottom right corner is a close second.
Thanks glad you enjoy that one!
Beautiful results Michael! Pretty tough to choose a favorite, they’re all masterpieces! Probably my favorite is at 10:10. 🙌
Thanks Michael! Beautiful shots! Too hard for me to have a favorite. Thanks for all of the hard work you do to share with us!
Thanks so much for watching, glad you enjoyed them!
Beautiful shots Michael
Thank you for sharing this lovely video, Michael! You never disappoint! I will have to try this type of photography in the swamps and springs where I live. It's literally impossible to pick a favorite - I like 1, 12, 13, and 15 in particular.
Just arrived after watching the fototripper video. Both videos have inspired me to hit the swamps here in the fall (I live in SC). Great video!
Absolutely beautiful! Gavin could learn a thing or two if he would just watch your videos 😂
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!
Thank you so much!
Love all the photos. If I must choose one it will be the one with light green plants at the bottom of trees contrasted with white moss and autumn leafs in the background , so stunning! 11:57
You killed it! Great images, man! Fun to see this come together!
Thanks so much man, such a fun time!
Love your photos…. The knob on the top of the paddle is for your top hand- for leverage 😬
What a beautiful video! And wow wow wow that image at 11:13 is absolutely gorgeous! 😍
Awesome work!
thank you!
Beautiful photos, really inspires me as a photographer myself :)
Hallo Fromm Austria! Absolute amazing pictures!👍
Splendid work my friend, Nice vídeo 👏👏
Michael, beautiful photography! Did you use shutter priority or use the auto iso setting to set min iso and max iso to get the shutter speed you wanted?
Great video and some excellent images which by the way, and don't say anything to Gavin.... BUT MUCH BETTER THAN HIS shat! 📷
📷
You keep making me choose! I'd say #5 or the upper-right corner: Isolated single tree. #2 is the 10th or second row far-right: Colors. More please!
Thanks Brian, glad you liked those ones! More to come soon!
I‘m mightily impressed how completely different your photos are from Gavin‘s. Not saying one is better than the other, just recognizing the huge difference.
I am surprised, though, that you didn’t call the video „How to deal with Gavin“….
A great watch with Stunning Shots. How do you find the 28-200 lenses is image quality good?
