Hope you all enjoy the video! Sorry for the typo having two "tip#4" captions. But it wouldn't be a Michael Shainblum without a mistake of some kind ;) New hiking vlogs and cinematic videos coming soon, stay tuned.
Lots to unpack here but all I can think about is the Canon lens cap on the nikon body. Great tips Michael, yours are hands down my favourite seascapes.
Thank you Michael-love your work and loving these videos. Very inspiring to me-Keep it up! No Ego stuff, just the real you, shooting and commenting on what you love!
As someone who’s been practicing seascapes for the past 2 months. The points you brought out couldn’t be more accurate. Slowing down and taking it in has produced my favorite shots ever. Also cleaning the gear right after really does matter. Better sure than sorry. Great stuff always Michael!
Really good - well presented and good content. Getting in the water - bet you've had some fun moments with that... when that mid-thigh water suddenly turns to mid-chest and you're holding everything over your head, getting pushed around, and just hoping you're not about to come down in a hole. Best fun! appreciate the tips and insights - Lkd&Subd. All the best from a cabin in a swamp in a rainforest in New Zealand. Cheers.
Glad to see your videos, Michael! Thank you. Moved to Seattle from the Bay Area and your videos remind me of places I went when I picked up photography.
Thank you so much for such inspiring and informative videos! They really helped to improve my photography skills. Looking forward to more videos and great photos in 2022 😊
Just found your Chanel awesome advice down here in Sydney so winters just ending you’ve inspired me to get back to the beach and the rocks keep up the vids
Love the rocket blower tip. I saw that in one of your earlier videos or maybe the master class. I used it when shooting my first timelapse and it worked awesome. So much better than a lens cloth
A bit late to this party, but love the tips. Plan on visiting the beach during thanksgiving break (east coast). High tide shows just before sunrise so lookung forward to giving it a try. Thanks!
Hey thanks so much! I think I actually shot that one with the original Sony A7R. It was either that or my Canon 6D, those were my two most used cameras in 2014.
Thanks for the tips. LOL. On the south shore of Long Island, New York it is totally flat. Luckily Long Beach has nice rock jetties to anchor the shot. Excellent photos.
Breakthrough Photography needs to send you a TY note bc this video put me over the edge to purchase a 10-stop. Having to adjust my Yosemite trip so the northern coast it is!! I miss the Pacific!!
Great tips. Thanks for that ! I do love your wide angle shots taken from the water ! I can’t say I am very comfortable doing it just yet, way too afraid to have a wave splashing the gear lol Absolutely right about the telephoto lens, I never go out without it
Thanks Frank, yes definitely clean out the tripod. Every once in awhile I take mine apart to clean. I have broken so many tripods over the years from salt corrosion.
I’m an #Uber driver working SF... always carry a camera with me while driving... hardest part is turning off the app and spending enough time taking a shot or looking for one... still gotta make $$ thanks for the tips... I’m fascinated by the fog in SF too
Thanks! Its usually a roll of gaff tape, but I had ran out during that trip. I use it to fix things that break in field and rig things up, or even to cover lights during night shoots.
I think Really Right Stuff makes the best tripods if you have the money for them. Personally I use small Induro tripods. They are not the best quality at all, but they work just fine. I have had to replace all of my Induro Ballheads though. Now I use the Colorado Tripod ballheads which are really nice. Colorado Tripod company also makes a really nice tripod, though not sure if I would call it a travel tripod as its a little big. Thanks for watching!
Thanks a lot for sharing your tips with us. Most seascape tutorials play with the tide movement, but what about for those of us with no tides? Do you have any advice for seascape in the Mediterranean (I'm based in Mallorca at the moment)?
Hmmm well I probably wouldn't do too much different. Just find some interesting water flow and rock flow. Having super different tides can be a good or a bad thing. They can make some beaches out here competently unshootable or inaccessible. Or reveal new compositions and new opportunities. Maybe having less of the tide influence can actually help you to plan and scout more, given that the water-flow will be more consistent. I have shot on Menorca before and while the waves were not giant, I was still able to get some nice flows.
@@MichaelShainblum At the area where I am, there's no flow at all unless there's been a storm or it's very windy. I'll try to look other areas in the island 👍.
great tips, very helpful... but what the hell shainblum??? dirtying up that great lens with that canon lens cap???? wow.. lmao. great content as always
Well for Graduated NDs square would be much better. I don't even know if they make circular grads. But for regular non-grad NDs its personal preference, they both do the same thing.
Very useful tips Michael. I'm thinking of buying a ND6 stops since I already have a ND10 stops. Do you think it's worth having both? I really appreciate your job!
@@MichaelShainblum thank you for the reply. Regarding 6ND what are the situations it can be mostly used? I've never used 6ND before, It is time to give it a try.
Too late for tip #5 about wipe gear. Few years ago I took some night seascapes and got my tripod into the water and days later I realized I didn't clean it, then I saw it and was starting to rust 😂😭
its funny ...im either 1/4 second.....25 seconds...or 1/2000 for waves .....3 seconds is mush ...love your work. D850? i was D850 now GFX 50s ii. for water get a car chamoise. Break it pieces off and it absorbs water not smear it. The reason I switched to GFX is its a system that gets you to slow down.
Its not super ideal, but it can work for sure. I have shot many seascapes with little travel tripods. It is just a little harder to get a stable shot, you really have to dig those tripods into the sand to stop them from moving.
@@thestrider4739 Really anything large hahaha. I use some really old Induro tripods for most of my seascapes. Really Right Stuff probably makes my favorite tripods. On a tighter budget Colorado Tripod Company is also great.
Hope you all enjoy the video! Sorry for the typo having two "tip#4" captions. But it wouldn't be a Michael Shainblum without a mistake of some kind ;) New hiking vlogs and cinematic videos coming soon, stay tuned.
Another amazing video with some great tips
Thanks so much man, I appreciate that!
@@MichaelShainblum Great compliment coming from the king of landscape photography!
Lots to unpack here but all I can think about is the Canon lens cap on the nikon body.
Great tips Michael, yours are hands down my favourite seascapes.
Thanks so much! Haha yeah I mix and match the caps all the time.
Just noticed that too.. Poor Nikon can't catch a break these days ;)
@@Clickumentary Hahaha the D850 is amazing, but they need to start innovating more if they want to catch up.
Thank you Michael-love your work and loving these videos. Very inspiring to me-Keep it up! No Ego stuff, just the real you, shooting and commenting on what you love!
Thanks so much Jeff!

It was truly spectacular!
Lots of great information condensed into a short video. Thanks Michael.

Good presenting and great advice
Thanks so much Ian!
great pictures!
I was taught with my device keep inch above water to get great shot!!
Great tips!
Great tip for water removal with blower. It really works....
Glad to see your videos, Michael! Thank you. Moved to Seattle from the Bay Area and your videos remind me of places I went when I picked up photography.
Great tips...perhaps even Hardcastle could get some keepers following your advice!
Always rooting for your Shainblum. Keep up the good work.
Hey thanks so much!
Thank you 💜

Biggest fan from India 😌
Thanks so much! :)
Great tips! I'll sure to try them when I head back to NZ when the travel restrictions are relaxed.
Love the rocket blower tip. I saw that in one of your earlier videos or maybe the master class. I used it when shooting my first timelapse and it worked awesome. So much better than a lens cloth
I am so glad to hear that, thanks Bryan. Those things are amazing to use.
Outstanding video! Thank you!
Well done. I was wondering what a rocket blower was
Great Work Michael. Really great tips, and good job explaining the process.
Bonus Tip: Mix lens cap brands up for that extra kick 😀 great tips man
hahaha thanks Felix, hope all is well!
I appreciate the great tips, Michael, and was inspired seeing the results in your images! The lens cap cracked me up🙃
A bit late to this party, but love the tips. Plan on visiting the beach during thanksgiving break (east coast). High tide shows just before sunrise so lookung forward to giving it a try. Thanks!
Awesome video as always Michael! Thanks for sharing these tips man
Thanks so much Tal!
Amazing shot at 2:22 my friend. That is just gorgeous movement. And, to think you were able to create this image *without* mirrorless! #smallwonders
Hey thanks so much! I think I actually shot that one with the original Sony A7R. It was either that or my Canon 6D, those were my two most used cameras in 2014.
Great stuff, Michael.......Always appreciate your content....looking forward to trying some of these techniques myself.
Thanks so much Marc, hope all is well!

Thanks so much Linda!
These photos are beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
thanks!
Realy Michael.. you fortuned with such seastacks! Never used a tele for seascapes. Defined gonna try. Loved the images with the long lens! Thnx
Thanks so much, definitely try it out! On my last trip to Oregon I shot most of my seascape images with the telephoto lens :)
Great tips and images! I don’t live near the ocean but I do live near the Great Lakes - I can definitely try theses. Love the t-shirt too 😀
Hey thanks so much! Let me know if the tips help :)
Great photos. Regards Barrie
Thanks Michael for the tips. Now I just need to get to a beach.
Thanks Jon!
Nice tips,
Man, that’s some outstanding work.
Thanks! :)
Great tips, Michael! I really like the telephoto shots and will definitely give that a try.
Thanks for watching Adrienne!
Super tips, and wonderful example images - as usual!
Thanks so much Todd!
Excellent tips. Thanks a lot for sharing 😊
Thanks!
Thanks for the tips. Lots of hard earned knowledge you shared 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you :)
Great video. Thanks! I hope you're staying safe out there with horrible fires near San Fransisco.
Thanks Mario! I have just been inside editing, its crazy outside right now, super poor air quality.
Michael, glad you’re doing well! Stay safe.

The guys at Breakthrough are awesome, I love their stuff. Nice! Hopefully no smoke on your trip.
Michael Shainblum I’ll
Be there in 2 weeks so I’m sure the smoke won’t have cleared by then. I💜SF
Good learning
thank you :)
Awesome video. Exactly what I want to see.
Amazing video Michael ! Looking forward to shoot when lockdown ends !
Thank you!
Great tips. Thanks for that ! I do love your wide angle shots taken from the water ! I can’t say I am very comfortable doing it just yet, way too afraid to have a wave splashing the gear lol
Absolutely right about the telephoto lens, I never go out without it
Just found out about your channel, and I just love your content. Keep it up!

thanks for sharing those very useful tips!!! amazing shots...by the way ; )
Thanks so much!
Always solid content, and whoa tip #6, let there be light! 🤣
Hahaha I should have thought of a good tip relating to light for that one.
Great stuff, Michael! Please also teach us post processing...
Will do, also check in the description for some of my post processing tutorials :)
Great!
Thank you
Thanks for the variety of tips! I think I finally should wash that one tripod that has that sand grinding in the legs :)
Thanks Frank, yes definitely clean out the tripod. Every once in awhile I take mine apart to clean. I have broken so many tripods over the years from salt corrosion.
My only issue is not being close to a coast! Good tips thanks.
Fantastic video and job my friend
thanks!
Awesome, really helpful!
Thank you :)

Great as usual! Whatever happened to the gentle classical music when you walk or show us what you clicked!
Thanks Amit, I usually do not add music for tricks and tips videos. But I will have more in field vlogs and relaxing music very soon! :)
Great video & images. I can't wait to see some of your "Armageddon skies" from the fires. Stay safe.
Thanks so much Patrick, not a lot of shooting for me at the moment unfortunately.
Great, great, great…
great tips
Thanks!
Great video and tips 👍...that roll of masking tape on your bag, what do you use that for?
Thanks! Its usually a roll of gaff tape, but I had ran out during that trip. I use it to fix things that break in field and rig things up, or even to cover lights during night shoots.
Love your videos my dude. I'm curious what travel tripod you recommend? Trying to find one that is light and compact, but also somewhat sturdy lol
I think Really Right Stuff makes the best tripods if you have the money for them. Personally I use small Induro tripods. They are not the best quality at all, but they work just fine.

Michael what font do you use in your Watermark?
Just in landscape photography in general, is circular graduated nd filters better then the square ones?
Well for Graduated NDs square would be much better. I don't even know if they make circular grads. But for regular non-grad NDs its personal preference, they both do the same thing.
Very useful tips Michael. I'm thinking of buying a ND6 stops since I already have a ND10 stops. Do you think it's worth having both? I really appreciate your job!
I would recommend it. Those are the two filters I always have with me. 10ND is ideal for day time seascape work, or super long exposures.

what beach is the one with the tall rocks? id be scared to shoot in sf because of the robberies
What filter / holder system do you use ?
Polar pro summit system is what I am currently using.

Ah damn I am sorry to hear that. I have rusted up a few tripods as well. That is why this tip was pretty huge for me hahaha.

In Florida the beaches are very bland, no boulders, rocks, hill or mountains in the background, how can you make tge sea scape not boring?
Do you think a travel tripod like peak design or 3 legged thing sturdy enough for seascapes?
Its not super ideal, but it can work for sure. I have shot many seascapes with little travel tripods. It is just a little harder to get a stable shot, you really have to dig those tripods into the sand to stop them from moving.
