Nobody, nobody, nobody does it better than you! Loved the dueling monster waves.

It really was a special day shooting those waves. Loved your shots as usual Michael. You always capture something amazing!!! Loved the video.

I see a giant with his mouth open and the dark part being his body and legs. The giant is very angry and the rock is standing its ground. Having pareidolia helps to ‘see’ things like this for me.
Your amazing photos deliver the sense of fury of the ocean to the viewer.
Thank you for the great tips, particularly the camera settings.

That image 6:27 just phenomenal!!! No one does capture the scene like you do it. Reminded me with 2 huge monsters battling each other! So many great images and captured it beautifully. 😍😍

Even with you setting the bar so high for the quality of both your photography and these vlogs, this one was really beautiful, felt like watching a documentary, I watched it multiple times

[louisburley]

As always the content quality is super high. This channel always encourages me to go out and find something to photograph.

Cheers and thanks for being a huge inspiration!

A bird soaring to high above gives me a sense of hopefulness: human spirits soaring high upon turmoil in one’s life rather than cowering in fear. Your photos are not only artistically sublime, I often see hopefulness in desperate time like present in which we live. THANK YOU, Michael!

These images show the eternal battle between Earth, wind and water. The three forces that have shaped our world. Excellent video.

[joanhuggett]

Loved the tremendous power in all these shots. The dramatic force of nature can be terrifying but then you had the calming effect of untroubled birds. Wonderful. Thanks, Michael.

man o man, I can remember that day like it was yesterday, such a fun time and the shots you bagged are insane... the duelling rock and wave shot is fab.. Told ya, All M Shainblum has to do is think banger and BOOM!!!

The youtuber union! When you are with him, you do not say "overwhelmed" but "its can't get better than this" :-) Great shots as usual!

The image at 6:33 was stunning - before you said it, I was imagining a battle between an earthy demon and a watery dragon. Magnificent

Every time I watch a new video of yours I wonder why I hadn't discovered your channel earlier. Thank you for sharing.

[youritguy]

Absolutely amazing video. The waves are just incredible. When you showed the waves hitting the side of the mountain /hill it looked like an explosion. Great job.

[micter]

The 2 big ones, are like a dragon fighting against some dinosaurs with pics on his back. Really cool ! It really motivates to go to the sea and make some photos ! Thanks

[mrskarshsphotos]

[robertwhitemoto]

[markgubbins]

Wow !!!! Those images were just mind-blowing. You take dramatic photos to a whole new level. My favorite color is green, and those waves did it for me.

[georgemason]

Always thrilled when a Michael Shainblum video pops up. Lots of fantastic wave shots. Those big green waves against that warm background were gorgeous. Your editing is immaculate. Great variety and commentary.

[DavesEpicPhoneShots]

Wow awesome shots of these magnificent waves. I’m just blown away 🤩
