I would love to hear which image from this video is your favorite! Or if you had another favorite from one of the videos on my channel? Please let me know in the comments!
It's almost a tie between the trees in the fog and the sand dune with the bird in it. But hands down it's the lightning image for this fellow storm lover! Great work on all of these images!
Image 5 is my absolute favourite image. I can't stop watching and the colors in the image are amazing too.
If I had to choose, I would say the cacti and the storm cloud. A perfect example of what makes this earth special!
Image #2 is my favorite one. So simple, just couple of lines, patterns, colors and light in harmony.
I don't think I could narrow it down to just one image; I like them all for different reasons.
Always enjoy your videos. They're super informative and really relaxing. Keep it up! 👍🏻
Glad your Dad's on the mend; that's great news. I completed understand... However, my Dad wasn't so fortunate and lost his fight with cancer around 5 years ago. It's actually the reason I took up photography. My Dad was into photography and after he passed, I took on his old camera as a means of connecting with him. Been doing it ever since. 🙂
New Shainblum video? This just turned into a great weekend!
Don't stop photographing rocks on the beach. I love those images and do plenty of that myself when I get the chance. Thanks for sharing. Good wishes for you and for your dad in 2022.
So sorry to hear about your dad, but so good he's recovering! Hopefully it'll continue! Beautiful photos you captured in 2021 too!
Michael, you are truly a compositional genius and consummate artist with a camera. With the right light you could make an image of a landfill appear interesting and memorable. Your time lapse body of work is unmatched, and the ease and flow of your vlogs is outstanding. Best wishes to you and your family in 2022.
Happy to hear about your dad. Good reminder to give people their flowers while they’re still here.
My take-away is that we all can capture fantastic images without exotic travel! I’m so happy to hear that your dad is doing well! Keep up the great work!
Rocks on the beach…some people’s sense of taste only extends as far as their mouth 😉.
Glad to hear your father is in remission and that you took time to be with them. We will always be here.
The storm chasers…awesome. That lightning strike was too much. And on your birthday! The time lapses are just gorgeous whether it was Arizona or Death Valley or the mists rolling over the valley and hills. Beautiful stuff.
So glad to hear your Dad is doing better, continue support that he continues down this path.
Michael, You are one individual's channel that I look forward to no matter what the content is. Just love your style, narration and of course the post processing. Glad to hear your father is doing better. Take care.
Thank you for sharing Michael, such incredible images! Grateful that you that your Dad is in remission... Continue with your great Gift as a Photographer!
I loved the abstract photos with the orange sandstone with the blue-purple patterns. And my absolute favorite with the cactus and the dragon head clouds.
I think your fog video is still my favorite. I hope your dad remains healthy and all the best to you and your family.
Glad to hear your dad is doing well. What a blessing that you were able to go and be with your family during the trying times of the battle of the cancer. Love your 2021 picks.
My wife and I watched tonight and thought your presentation was marvelous. We particularly liked the Death Vally image (with the bird), the cholla cactus with the dragon and, of course, the lightning. We wish you and your family well, and keep up the wonderful vlogs.
Dear Mr. Shainblum , So happy to hear of your fathers recovery. I have only recently discovered your channel and am happy to have done so. It amazes me how each of the landscape photographers I follow bring such unique perspectives to this artform. I began seeing your face on many of Mr. Hardcastle's videos as well as on Nick Pages' channel. I appreciate that all of you seem to be friends and supportive of each other. You all as a group have only increased my passion for exploring, being in the moment and capturing the incredible beauty of our planet. I live on the west coast just south of Seattle and have now made it a point to road trip as much of Hwy 101 as I can down into Oregon and California. My hope is that I can take what I have learned from all of you and apply it to my own work as someone fairly new to landscape photography specifically. I have found, that after shooting many other types of topics, landscape has completely overwhelmed me as what brings me the most joy. Thank you again for your offerings, insight and passion for what you do. Be blessed.
Michael, these photos are simply beautiful! I am one of your subscribers that have been here for at least a few years. I'm glad to hear your father is doing well. Take care.
Fantastic video as usual man. Keep up the good work!
All the best for you and your dad. Great stuff as usual.
"2021 was one of the worst years of my life"
Same here, brother. Hoping 2022 is a lot brighter for you and your family.
All photos shown are awesome! Happy new year! :)
Amazing images, loved them, subscribed!
I'm glad you were able to take the time off and help your family. It's great to hear that your dad is feeling better now.
Your trip with Nick was one of my favorites of the year from both of you. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. That lightning shot on your birthday is insanely impressive.
Dude I'm so happy things worked out in the end! What a relief. I'm so happy I connected with you on a more personal level (still virtual) through the NFT space last year. A dream come true for me, as you've been one of my biggest inspirations since I started photography! My personal favorite is the lightning strike and observatory! What a stunning shot that combines luck, commitment, hard work and mastery!
What a year! Really glad to hear that your dad is in remission. Thanks for sharing your thoughts behind your art Michael, hope you have a fantastic new year and your dad a full recovery. All the best, Aaron
Great stuff, as always Michael. We always look forward to seeing your videos.
Great video Michael! Love seeing the unique views you capture.
Amazing work Michael!
Great images , best wishes Michael.
The dunes with the bird shot is just incredible!! well done michael and its good to hear your father is doing well.
A very welcome retrospective!
I'm a big fan of your image! Keep it up in 2022 my man...
Beautiful images, Michael. It is wonderfully relaxing to view. So glad that your dad is doing better now and all the best in 2022.
your photos are magnificent: the desert, the rainbows during the storms, the mist on the bridge. I find that you have gained in quality and maturity this year. well done
Loved reviewing the images and memories with you, even the hard parts, and seeing your amazing work a second time around. Your favorites were my favorites and I love your creative Golden Gate Bridge work too of course. My heart gives a nod to your dad.
This is becoming my Sunday morning routine.!! Good morning!!!
Good to hear your dad is doing better, great images. May 2022 bring you all you deserve man!
Very beautiful images. Appreciate your creative angles. Thank you ☺️
Thank you Michael for sharing your favorite images and stories behind them. I have been inspired by your work to improve my own landscape photography.
First of all...I'm really glad your Dad is getting better 🙏
Your photos are all STUNNING mate...Congrats!!!
A man like you so transparent,honest,kind...will succeed in this life!!
wish you all the best for 2022!!!
It was allot of fun watching you take these images! thanks for all the amazing content!
Nice set of images. I really enjoyed the Death Valley shots. I’m super happy to hear your dad is making a great recovery. My mom just rang her final radiation treatment bell. She is now cancer free.
Sorry to hear about your dad but happy to hear that he is in remission! I know all too well how difficult it is when a parent is faced with cancer. I lost my mom following her 2-year battle with esophageal cancer. It was a very difficult thing to witness, and photography took a back seat for me, as well.
Looking forward to see what you create in 2022!
You’re a true inspiration Michael!
So happy to hear your dad is on the mend! It’s wonderful that you could take the time and be with your family 🙏🏼. Wonderful series of photos man! Have a great start to the new year!
Textures video was my biggest inspiration lately. So don’t say it is underestimated. I have been to Big Sur last week, and I have kept in mind all your tips and had amazing clay, sand and rock textures. It made me happy. many many thanks, Michael!
Awesome stuff buddy! So many amazing images in 2021! I am sure this year will be more of the same! 🤞🏽👍🏽 Sending my well wishes to you and the fam! 🙏🏼
Great job Michael, under very trying circumstances. Always look forward to your inspirational videos and images. There are a few photographers who continually stoke my passion for photography and you are high on that list. So thank you!
Wow, each and every one is stunning!
Wonderful summary of your 2021. My favorite is the thunder and sea, I hope your father is okay and recovering! Thanks for the great vlogs in 2021, look forward to the sea scape one!
So fantastische Bilder! Ganz tolle Arbeit Michael.
Stunning images Michael, very difficult to chose a favorite, keep shooting details of rocks and trees, its something I love to shoot. Glad your Dad is doing well. Thanks for sharing
Glad your Dad is getting better . :) Always relaxing to look at your videos and these images are awesome .take care Michael !
Great images Michael, so happy to hear your father is in remission, I hope you have an awesome 2022.
Hi Michael! I appreciate this video and most of all your pictures. I deeply love the first images from death valley (the one with the bird). This was so great. And also the lightning on the mountain.
I'm happy your father is recovering and I wish you a good 2022
Thank you for sharing your photos again Michael.
Definitely some of them were my favourite’s also
Good to hear that your Dad’s doing well.
Hope 2022 will be better for us all.
Stay safe 🇦🇺
So glad to hear about your dad Michael. Beautiful images. Have a fantastic 2022.
The Dragon Egg or Turtle Image is my fav from you, Also the lightening one, i still remember these videos.
Sorry to hear about your fathers illness, hope he recovers soon. Love and hugs.
Cant wait to see the next seascape video.
Have a great 2022! Good on ya for your commitment to family. Love the pic as per usual, esp the Mt Tam images. Cheers.
Your photography is always unique, full of beauty, and inspirational!
Fantasic images Michael
You're an amazing photographer. Thanks for all your inspiration 🤙
I haven’t even watched a minute and I can tell you that Im going to love what I see. You are a pioneer, a legend - a damn great photographer. Thanks for the inspiration.
For image 3 i agree with you, I love seeing stuff in nature that you would seemingly walk past, 1 of my fav shots it a burnt tree stump, but its shaped like a person screaming, and there is a 2nd face you can pick out in the log, it gives me chills.
Thank you so very much for a year of very enjoyable and informative informative videos love your work love your photos please keep it up
Glad to hear your Dad is doing better. Hopefully that continues and you're able to focus on enjoying some photography in 2022 while he continues to improve!
Came upon your channel through your association with Gavin Hardcastle. Glad I did. Really enjoying going back and looking at you previous videos. Best of luck in 2022 and looking forward to future videos.
So wonderful to hear your father is doing better . It’s so nice that you went to help your parents and took the time to be with them. All of the photos you picked are beautiful but my favorite is the lightening strike. So amazing!! I liked your video about the beach rocks. Very artistic and letting your imagination run wild. Happy New Year to you Michael. Wishing you the very best!
So glad to hear your dad is in remission!!! I love your work and the channel. Thank YOU!!!!
Lying in the sofa with covid this was amazing to watch. I'm a sucker for seascapes but I have to say the cacti images are my favorite! I'm so glad your dad is doing okay Michael. Thank you for this, cheers to a better 2022!
Dude; thanks for sharing the wonderful Blessing of your dad and his recovery! Many answered prayers from many of your friends and followers here on youtube. You are such a gifted and talented artist and I am grateful you share that talent with us. And you ask, which is my favorite; it has to be the sand dune with the people and the bird in flight. Viewing it gives me a sense of freedom to explore...
solid pictures. And epic moments! Loved the SD paragliding. The Golden Gate Park tree was my fav. I remember when I lived in SF I would take my daughter there daily for walks and disc golf. So moody under the trees. A different world in there.
Awesome Photographs thanks so much for sharing. Very grateful to hear your dad is in remission!
You're a photography genius and the way you approach scenes is unbelievable! I enjoy your dramatic landscapes as much as I admire your abstract shots. Keep doing what you're doing!
Best wishes to you and your family!
So many great images! My favorite was definitely the birthday lightning strike but I enjoyed them all (including the turtle rock). I wish you'd fit in some more fog images. There were so many that were absolutely magical. Consider a top 20 list next time. I'm really glad to hear your dad is in remission. Wishing you and your family all the best in 2022.
Your videos truly mean so much to me. It is always the highlight of my day. Thank you for the amazing content you put out into the world. I hope 2022 is better for you. ❤️
Really glad to hear your dad is doing better man. Family first always. Take care and I hope 2022 takes it easy on your family!
Absolutely love your work Michael. So glad I happened upon your channel. Super glad your dad is in remission! You guys are in my thoughts and prayers. Keep up the amazing work!
Awesome images, Michael. I’ve been following you since your photography mainly focused on astro. Crazy to see what kind of images you’re getting now. My favorite has to be your lightning shot because it’s truly stunning. Plus we had quite a surprising amount of lightning storms pass by here in SoCal during 2021 and I did what I could to capture those moments.
So glad to hear your father is in remission. All the best to you and your family.
Great selection of images Michael, I thought your Dunes with the people and bird was outstanding. Glad to hear your Dad is going OK now. Look forward to seeing your work in 2022.
My fav. You images are ❤️❤️❤️❤️ love everything about your work

Fantastic images...and great news that your dad is doing well. I look forward to seeing more of your images this year as they are truly inspirational
Glad to hear that your dad is in remission. You’ve been an inspiration for so many years. I watched the beach and rocks video and I agree that it’s amazing to make ordinary things look interesting. It’s a tough challenge. My favorite photo is def the birthday lightning photo. Shot of a lifetime! Close second is Mt Tam. Keep up the quality work and videos! The authenticity is really spot on.
I loved the rock images! That was one of my favourite videos of yours.

Absolutely amazing my friend, I've learnt so much from your videos man! You're basically my mentor and it's a pleasure to follow your photography journey. I've recently purchased your "complete pack" from your website and I can't wait to learn more from you! All the best for 2022 mate!
Absolutely love the images from Death Valley. Best wishes to you and your family, Michael.

Michael, thanks for sharing your favorite images of the year. Of your videos the two that I particularly enjoyed were the Mt. Tam fog images and the trip to chase storms in Arizona. Thanks again…
Amazing work Michael! I always enjoy your videos. By the way I loved the beach video as it lent a new and different perspective.
I’m a very happy to hear your father is doing fine. A huge shock for you at the time and it’s good you came through it . Hopefully this year will sprout a few positive photography surprises for you
Happy to hear your dad is recovering. My father-in-law is suffering greatly with myeloma. It’s heart wrenching.
Your images constantly inspire me. I recently got a few decent images amongst the clouds that I’m very proud of. You are absolutely amazing. Thank you.
You are an absolute inspiration Michael! Thank you for inspiring me with every video you make.
