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!
Sorry for what it might seem a silly question Michael but, is now fall in Texsas and was the video shot inthe last few days/weeks. do you know how long does the season and the colors last?
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
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.
The colours in these photos were absolutely beautiful.😍 I love how you notice the different textures. The bayou is so peaceful. ♥️
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.
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!!!
Suggestion #1 Dont go with Gavin especially if you owe him money.
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. 👌🌟
You are absolutely the GOAT. Your creativity and vision is nothing short of amazing. Thanks for another fantastic vlog.
Great video and some excellent images which by the way, and don't say anything to Gavin.... BUT MUCH BETTER THAN HIS shat! 📷
📷
I liked most of your images better than Gavin's. Don't tell him. 🤫
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!
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“….
Loved this. What time of year were you there?
Thanks I was there in Autumn of last year.
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.
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?
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.
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.
A great watch with Stunning Shots. How do you find the 28-200 lenses is image quality good?
Show us your RAW ! These are fantastic images but I think I speak for a lot of photographers watching your channel in saying it would be very useful to see the raw image and then the final edit.
Definitely an inspiration! any change you'll capture the bixby creek bridge? love to see your take.
Where is this pkace in Texas? I would like to do something like what you did. Sounds fun!
Your photography is dreamlike and mesmerizing! Love all the photos! Can I ask what month these were taken in?
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.
What are those water proof pants called that you wore in the water? The one with suspenders. Could you please provide a link to when you bought it?
Love your photos…. The knob on the top of the paddle is for your top hand- for leverage 😬
So much better than Gavin😂😂😂
I enjoy watching you both
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?
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 🙂
What a relaxing (for the viewer) and beautiful video. Loved all the photos. The color and texture were incredible. Thanks for taking us along.
We just watch the video it was awesome! But now so many questions, know you what time of year was it fall or winter and can you rent all the gear there ? last one dose Andrew have a youtube channel?
Surprisingly…… your advice was less crazy and more straightforward than Gavin’s …. Not quite sure why??? 😂😂
😂
Would anyone be willing to share what location this is?
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.
Love to see how you process these images....Just saying.
You guys don’t know what the real swamp is!! Come down to the Florida Everglades and you will see real wildlife photography is all about. So stick to what you know best … go back north!
Lol alright big guy
Beautiful images! Hard to pick a favorite!
Lovely shots, Michael! Really enjoyed how you worked the scene with a wide variety of comps🔥
All the images shown are excellent...well done!
3:21 The reason I clicked on this vid…👍🤣
I'm a little mad at you about how good these photos are.
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!
Will you share location and time of year?
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!
Mike I live an hour or so away from this spot... what time of year was this... I almost when but felt the fall colors had passed already. Oh my Stunning photos!!. Cheers from Dallas
Do you mind to tell us where you took these photos?
I care more about logistics getting to the location. I’ve got the pushing the button on the camera thing down.
I think there are other channels out there better suited to your needs and interests, perhaps mine isn't it.
Excellent. Where is this?
Thank you michael 🔝👏🏻📸
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.
I'm curious how you would rank this swamp / bayou environment compared to, e.g., a mountain location as far as the image possibilities go...? In a general sense it's really difficult for me to compare because although I'm not located specifically here (Caddo Lake), I live in / near this general kind of scenery in Louisiana. As a result it's generally much more familiar to me. As usual a great video.
The swamps were super fun and definitely something I would like to do again. Probably less variety than in other environments such as mountains or the coast, but it was very unique.
@@MichaelShainblum thanks for the reply. I guess growing up and living around this type of environment (albeit not exactly in my back yard) it's become generally less spectacular in my eyes than mountains and other places. Maybe I'm guilty of "familiarity breeds contempt"... But your photos are absolutely stunning! Thanks again.
Awesome captures and video. Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s a great inspiration.😊
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!
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
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.
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.
Awesome images Michael, those colours and textures😮 I always really like your telephoto work, very inspiring. Another great vid👏
Magical photos ❤
Awesome 😎
These are some amazing shots… frankly, I preferred your images over Gavin’s 😊
"You’re not going to get it right away" - spoken just after showing us 15 world-class images from your first time out.
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.
Absolutely gorgeous images! Would you share the name of the site? You said it is in Texas but where exactly? I assume it is a national park? Is there a website where one can book a tour? Thank you!
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.

Really cool shooting environment! Its own unique beauty! Really enjoyed this video.
Using a tripod in a canoe must have been a challenge….beautiful photos as always from you. Thanks!
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!
would love to see your work in LR to get these final images.
These were interesting to process. Some required little editing and others were a lot of dodging/burn and color correction. Depended mostly on the lighting.
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!
Different level Man !! 👏👏👏
Nice, one day I have to go there and see for myself. Last year I got a kayak to shoot wildlife from. I setup a tripod and attach the camera with a 200-500 lens. I’m going to get a gimbal as well.
Beautiful results Michael! Pretty tough to choose a favorite, they’re all masterpieces! Probably my favorite is at 10:10. 🙌
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.
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.
Wonderful photos of a remarkable location. I was there last summer during an intense thunderstorm. Looking forward to returning
And not an alligator in sight ?
Some amazing shots. Favs @ 7.30 and 13.50. Excellent.
Absolutely love this spot. I too went nice and early in November once and had the lake to myself it seemed. Great images too
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!
Beautiful shots! I lead groups of paddlers on a river in the summer. Photography there is really “run and gun” and the keeper rate is really low.
What a beautiful video! And wow wow wow that image at 11:13 is absolutely gorgeous! 😍
Beautiful!
Hallo Fromm Austria! Absolute amazing pictures!👍
Excellent video, Michael! Always a great time watching
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.
Truly wondrous images Michael. many thanks for sharing !
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.
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
Wow, what beautiful pictures, colors and scene, well done love it.
Absolutely beautiful! Gavin could learn a thing or two if he would just watch your videos 😂
Exquisite work. All these photographs are enthralling.
❤❤❤😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
You killed it! Great images, man! Fun to see this come together!
Thanks so much man, such a fun time!
gorgeous
Amazing images from both you and Gavin, the Bayou looks amazing...terrifying have all that gear in a canoe though!
A little nerve-racking at times for sure haha, thanks so much!
Beautiful photos, really inspires me as a photographer myself :)
So abstract, amazing colours, excellent Micheal
My favorite was the bottom row, middle image. The simplicity of the photo with the shadows draw me in the most.
