  • In 2020 I managed to take a wonderful trip to Hawaii to capture some landscape photography. In this vlog, at first, I start off shooting wide-angle scenes with the 16-33mm lens. But then I quickly shift my attention to the 100-400 telephoto lens to photograph more intimate details of the location.

    I like the "light beams" photo on the left. The ridges put them better into context and the beams themselves are better defined (look like "god rays").

    While stationed in the Marine Corps back in the 80’s in Hawaii I took a lot of film pics all around the various islands of Hawaii. After seeing your video today, I am now adding a trip back since I have a greater understanding of compositions and a little bit of a quality camera and lenses in my bag…Thanks for sharing your adventure and story telling Michael!

    My pick has to be the left images with the emphasis on the three ridges and the light ray. I enjoyed the time lapse, too.

    I think I like the first photo of the Sun shining through the mist that features the three ridgelines.
    Great photos, and a nice video! 😉

  • @danielzellerphotography165
    @danielzellerphotography165 2 роки тому

    Another great video. One of the things that I love about your photography is that you see images where most would simply pass by. For me, the shot with the three ridges is the better of the two.

You also have such a great voice for these vlogs. You are a great master of your craft. Very much appreciated and I am a big fan. Keep it up you inspire me to go out and be better at seeing what is around me even in a cold Montréal winter.

    More outstanding work Michael. The two three ridge images are equally beautiful, similar yet different enough that they are both winners. The time lapse was fabulous as were many images of the trees, I especially enjoyed the abstract type ones too. 👏😀👍

    @augustaglen3234 2 роки тому

    You have made shooting in the rain seem joyful! Work with what is presented you... Isn't life so as well? What a sea of green to start the spring! Thank you! The "three ridges" is preferred due to the play of sun rays and rain streaks.

  • @juanitakelly3082
    @juanitakelly3082 2 роки тому

    I liked the softness of the first one with the heavier ridgelines. It drew my eyes in and through the picture more with the contrasting peak.

  • @stoettingerphoto
    @stoettingerphoto 2 роки тому +7

    Amazing video again! My favorite is the picture at 8:17, the few orange leaves add so much to the scene in my opinion. Love it

    • @chrisford5296
      @chrisford5296 2 роки тому +1

      Lots of cool photos but the one at 8:17 was the one that made me go ooof too. Of the two ridgeline shots at the end, both beautiful, I think the peak on the third ridgeline in the first photo wins as a composition but the illuminated rain in the second is the most spectacular.

  • @msingrey14
    @msingrey14 2 роки тому

  • @DubYahJohn
    @DubYahJohn 2 роки тому

    A lovely video. Of the 2 you offer for comparison, my preference is for the first one, mainly because the the top cloud isn't so heavy but the real stars of the show for me were the foliage with the yellow flowers and the other with all the spindly trees, you describe as chaotic. Love it. Thanks.

  • @amanvora242
    @amanvora242 2 роки тому

    Great video to indulge in middle of the week. These videos really help to see how you compose interesting patterns in rather chaotic subjects. I liked the one on the left with the ridgeline a little more. I found it more appealing.

    I loved this video Michael. Can’t wait to see the next one. You know it’s funny… I live in Hawaii and shoot in those conditions where the rain just starts to pour and the stop over and over again constantly. I usually scramble to put away my blogging camera and all my other gear as the rain starts. Never did I think to just bring a plastic bag to wait out the rain 😂. This video might have charged my life. Thanks man

  • @gayleruble6529
    @gayleruble6529 2 роки тому

  • @P.W.R.
    @P.W.R. 2 роки тому

    Fantastic photos once again. Rainforests/jungles have got to be hard to photograph!
    It's like pine forests. I take fishing trips to the Sierras every Fall and bring my EOS R with me. The forest looks incredible with the eye, but it doesn't translate well to a camera unless you get the right tree shapes and patterns.
    Finding the right composition takes a long time. Great stuff, Michael. More please! 👍

  • @AndrewMacdonaldPhotography

  • @MichaelBlanchette

    Looks great, Michael. As far as the two photos are concerned, I prefer the one with the bigger beam and dark cloud at the top that forms a frame.

    @chodzsiepowoczymy1892 2 роки тому

    @bingt7100 2 роки тому

    So beautiful pictures you took.Taking pictures of forest is very difficult for me cause' every line is chaotic,everything has so different shape.It's hard to find balance in the photos when taking pictures in that environment.I feel amazed by the pictures.

    @maxencelemoine4190 2 роки тому

    I am not a fan of photographs with trees or in woodland but I really loved the one with the lone tree (5:05) and colors/shapes/textures of this one (8:38). The final view at the end of the trail is amazing.
