Call me weird but I love clear blue sky days. I laugh when people complain about it. I have no issue finding things to photograph. Great photos you took on your trip.
The four photos of the rocks - couldn't choose one; they all appealed to me. The tree photos: all of them were great! Would love to have shot any of them!
I travel a lot for work. Often the limited time I have to explore before heading home is not the best time to photograph. So I've learned to do many of the things you talked about.
Your eye for color and composition is amazing. I really love your photos. I assume your ratio of keepers is relatively high. I admire your skills and creative vision. Thank you so much for sharing. I also find your videos very relaxing and enjoyable to watch, just enough tech, not too much. A little bit of music. Nice job, all around.
Really enjoying your videos. I'm transforming my channel from a hiking/backpacking experience to nature photography/videography. You are quickly becoming my model of presentation for this. I like how you offer enough technical information to help a fledgling amateur (like me), as well as the artistic thoughts behind the shoot. I'm learning a lot here. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for this. I was one of those told I can only shoot in golden hour and blue hour and if I shoot at any other time, it had to be black and white. It was like being put into a straight jacket and the person that gave me that advice, his pictures are all the same - mostly orange and rather boring after a while. It was the worst piece of photography advice I have received. You have shown that not only is it possible to photograph outside of golden/blue hours and on a sunny, blue sky day, it is important to do so. We are missing on so much if we confine ourselves to just the golden/blue hours and non blue-sky day. I try now to work with the conditions I have and feel it is much more rewarding, even if I sometimes don’t come away with great images
You can make a living with your voice as well😂😂. I like the way you frequently stress the nature's beauties, sooooo beautiful, incredible, hahaha, full of passion 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Tree at 9min 30 sec is my absolute favorite...maybe of all tree/canyon shots I've seen from ANYONE. You have a LOT of great photos in this video, but that one is WOW!!!!
Your videos and photos continue to inspire! Absolutely love your work and hope that one day I can get a photo or two that rivals yours! Thanks for sharing!
Hey Michael. having lived in Santa Fe and NorCal, I certainly appreciate these beautiful locations and your perspectives on photographing some of my favorite locations. You are very creative in your vision, and proof that the best equipment any photographer can hope to have is their own two eyes!
Wow!! Truly magnificent scenery and awesome images! Love them all very much and really beautiful when you use the contrast of light and shadows, textures and reflections! Thank you for sharing them!🥰
Hi Michael, great images and information. Last month I had the opportunity to visit the Badlands National Park, had a great time. Mostly had bright blue skies but did my best to work with it, I did get some keepers. Thanks for sharing.
Loved image no 3, contrast of blue and orange. The images of the light on just the trees against a dark background were stunning in their simplicity though 👌
Spectacular shots! I love the honeycomb look of the rock formations. I really like the contrast of the green tree with the reds of the background rock. Amazing shots at 8:05 to 8:30 of the shrubs and the lighting. Great day of filming for sure jn this awesome location.
It depends on the location too. Arizona/ Sedona is perfect on days like that. Warm tones in the rocks and cool tones in the sky. They were some of my favorite images of that trip and they were all mid day sun.
Michael, I just love your videos. The most chill landscape photography out there. And so insightful each time. Thanks so much for putting your outstanding work out there, mate. Oh and #4 for sure. Looks as though you got a bit too close to the scales of a Shainblum-Photography-Dragon that time!
Thanks Michael. As much as I enjoyed your daytime shots, the best really were from just before sunset and beyond - loved the one with that tree with the 'eye' in the middle the best
Call me weird but I love clear blue sky days. I laugh when people complain about it. I have no issue finding things to photograph. Great photos you took on your trip.
Agreed! Thanks so much!
I lean towards BW so bright skies are no big deal. I pull out the BW IR camera and cloudless skies become black puddles.
I love big gnarly clouds
The first one is the best.
Image 1 all the way. Love the depth in it
Image 3 for me. Beautiful images of texture and color.
These are some of the nicest images that I’ve seen this year so far. Great work Michael 👍
That is incredibly kind of you to say, thank you so much Paul!
I think all 4 are my favorite
Absolutely love how you can create art in lesser than situations. So talented!
Hi 2 and 3 - such gentle colours and texture.
Image 2.....all are amazing
The four photos of the rocks - couldn't choose one; they all appealed to me. The tree photos: all of them were great! Would love to have shot any of them!
number 3, my favorite
Thanks, glad you like that one!
Love no. 1, also loved my visit to Valley of Fire😃
Image 2 for those layers of colors 👏🏻
thank you!
I like image 1 best. It has the most contrast, color and interest for me.
Image 2 is my favourite.
I travel a lot for work. Often the limited time I have to explore before heading home is not the best time to photograph. So I've learned to do many of the things you talked about.
I love the images you produce, and thought processes you use are so instructive.👏👏
Awesome work Michael. So far, this is my fav show.
Lovely photographs, I think this location really benifit by the clearblue sky.
Absolutely amazing images with trees Michael 😮
I recently bought a Tamron 150-500 for my Sony, and I have to say I am really am liking “telephoto” photography
Love valley of fire….image #2
This was beautiful, Michael!

Michael, thanks for inspiring me with this video.
Very interesting compositions of the trees against the rock backgrounds. Very inspiring indeed.
Thanks so much!

Image 1, mainly due to the contrast. But they’re all nice.
Thanks Michael, glad you like it!
Thank you, really like your casual / normal approach and explanations. Best wishes!

Work WITH the lighting and not against it. Tip of the day 🏆

The first person to ever find a use for the word gnarly.
Image 4 is absolutely gorgeous 😍
Love it! Days are more the two hours bounding sunrise and sunset!
Hey thanks, agreed!
Image 1 is my pick
Glad you like it!

Hey thanks, glad you enjoyed the soundtrack!
Hi Michael, great images and information. Last month I had the opportunity to visit the Badlands National Park, had a great time. Mostly had bright blue skies but did my best to work with it, I did get some keepers. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing 😍

Just amazing shots buddy!!
Thank you Tom!

Love how waiting till after sunset, there are no distracting shadows on the trees in the last few images 👌
Its definitely one of my favorite times of day to do this type of photography, thanks so much!
@@MichaelShainblum All good mate 🍺🤙
some wonderful photo you have taken. Must add to my bucket list when the time comes I can travel through America
Image 1 Michael. Great vid. Thanks!
Thanks so much!
All great but number 3 for me.
image one. im headed to Moab next month. you have super helpful tips on this video
Awesome vid. 1 n 3.
Love the tree images!!! WOW! From the group of stone wall images, number two was my favorite.
It depends on the location too. Arizona/ Sedona is perfect on days like that. Warm tones in the rocks and cool tones in the sky. They were some of my favorite images of that trip and they were all mid day sun.
Michael, I just love your videos. The most chill landscape photography out there. And so insightful each time. Thanks so much for putting your outstanding work out there, mate.
Oh and #4 for sure. Looks as though you got a bit too close to the scales of a Shainblum-Photography-Dragon that time!
You really scored some unique and beautiful images! Very impressive. Thanks for taking me along!
Thanks so much Randy!
Thanks Michael. As much as I enjoyed your daytime shots, the best really were from just before sunset and beyond - loved the one with that tree with the 'eye' in the middle the best
Really awesome video Michael, I’ve been following you for Years and I’ve always appreciated your way to explain !! 🤓
Thanks so much!
At 5:46 lower center right the lines in the rock look like a sketch of mountains...so cool!
My word what beautiful territory. Loved the sequence about shadows’ edge. The 2” exposure of the tree (at 9:21) made me crazy with happiness!
Really glad you enjoyed that part, thanks so much!
