That lightning photograph is a masterpiece!
-
Absolutely stunning! It’s like the rainbow exploded at the bottom of the waterfall, spreading its colors out through the water like nature’s surprise party!
-
'Patience and persistence' - key words in photography... you've got it. Your imagination knows no bounds, Michael, and we are beneficiaries. Tunnel View, waterfall rainbow spectrum... awesome. The close up waterfall stills at the end... so crazy good. Always super-enjoyable when we are out with Michael. 'One of the most fun viewing experiences of our life.'
-
Dude! Your images are some of the best landscape shots I’ve ever seen! Your style, compositions and subjects really speak to me. Keep up the good work!!
-
It's been almost 60 years since I've been to Yosemite. Because of this video, I want to go back! Thank you, Michael.
-
Travelled to Yosemite from Europe as a teenager and again for my honeymoon. It’s an amazing place and you’re right: photos don’t do it justice - you have to go there.
-
OMG Michael! You are an inspiration for sure. As a long time central California resident (1964), I've been to Yosemite dozens of times and got some "nice photos" but these are almost other worldly. Brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.
-
HOLY WOW!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼 😲🤯Absolutely stunning footage & images Michael … that water flow is crazy magnificent !! And the rainbows🌈 and lighting strike⚡️ I am seriously in awe! what an amazing weekend you experienced… thank you always for sharing it with us!
-
Wow! This was incredible, Michael! So many great shots from this trip - I especially loved the lightning and the rainbow at the base of the falls 🙌
-
Man! That shot (13:25) is chef's kiss
-
You’re v inspiring. I get demotivated with photography pretty often but your vlogs and photos bring the intense itch back.
-
Your work truly is a gift to humanity. I hope your work inspires the people across the country and the world to keep working to preserve and maintain these wild spaces. Even our own backyards can hold as much beauty and majesty as these incredible locations. Thank you Michael!!
-
Always a pleasure to discover another masterpiece video from you, beautiful moments perfectly captured and edited. From dunes, seascapes, forests, waterfalls, storms, thunders, time-lapse, name it, you master any subjects that nature has to offer. Thanks for such quality content after all these years
-
Superb video and pictures, as always👌 Love the message at the end, and of course the dragons are always with you. 🤙
-
Talking about crowds, Michael, I live in Calgary. It’s not California even by a stretch but …….. the weekend crowds in Banff, Lake Louise, Moraine Lake have become truly impossible. They now ration visitors to Moraine Lake with a voucher system that sells out about 2-3 am every morning. Great shots as always. The way you catch the light, power and drama of waterfalls with that long lens is spectacular.
-
Just wow Michael! So many valuable takeaways here as far as patience and vigilance. You truly reaped the rewards and got some outstanding portfolio shots that only photographers can dream of. Those Tunnel View shots were incredible! Well done mate. Your dedication to your craft is so inspiring. Thank you!
-
I can’t say enough about persistence and patience, I’ve captured several photos that I almost said it doesn’t look like it going to do anything or pan out and then “bam” it happens!
-
You're truly an inspiration Michael. Thanks for not giving up on the quality of your videos and always adding a bit of humane touch to the fantastic art you make by photography. Big fan of yours, from Norway!
-
Stunning images! That lightning shot was worth waiting through a 1000 rain storms. And you’re right, photographs don’t do that place justice.
-
Thank you for your comments on shooting iconic locations.
