+Ahmed Reda Well thank you so much for that! Glad you enjoyed it.
Seriously the best photography learning channel on TH-cam! Keep up the good work. I've learned so much from you : )
Thank you for your great videos! There are a lot of helpful tips for me as a Nikon user. Keep on doing videos like these here, they are great and I hope to see more of them. I like the fact, that you explain all the important things in a few minutes and you dont waste too much time like others here on youtube.
Great channel, even for the advanced photographers!

Great video, straight to the point, well presented, and those bloopers were brilliant. Thanks Joshua!
Josh, I have watched so many youtube videos on photography and yours are some of the best.
Very cool video Josh, behind the seen too hahaha. Love it. Will look for more video from you. keep rolling Josh.
Great tips and video. Love the outtakes. Keep them coming.
Excellent tips. Thanks a lot, only videos that actually get to the tips and trick before bedtime...thank you
Hahahaha!!! the "behind the scenes" part was very cool! ...Thank you for the tips ! Very helpful !
hahaha duude, you're awesome. love watching your videos because it's productive but not boring, you're lots of fun. thank you for sharing your acknowledges, it's helping me as a beginner I am. hugs bro
The bloopers at the end had me rolling!
Thanks for the good hints 👍. And also thanks for the outtakes, they give me a dulcet feeling, that I am not alone by spending 95% of the time waiting for the right moment - regardless it's a movie take or a shooting (specially animals in nature) 😉😜
Great video, lots of good tips and fun as well!
I want to take a vacation at the beach and try this. Great video.
Just came across this video. Awesome!
This place is amazing...
Dude! I looooove this video! In a couple days I plan on making a drive to the beach (in San Diego) to try to take photos like this for my Photo Class. The assignment is capturing movement. I've never taken a shot like this but your tips will be very very helpful!
Awesome vids mate great tips!! keep it up
Hi Josh, I'm really enjoying the videos, they are all highly informative and very entertaining. Keep up the great work.
I love your videos. So easy to understand and funny. Thanks :)
Thank u simple and easy explain now i will practise
great video buddy, thanks !!!!!!
Appreciate your videos so much 👍
great video! fun tutorial! thanks!
Great tips and funny video, thanks !
Thanks for the tips
Even if I don't want to be professional, I enjoy watching your videos. They are so funny
Another nicely done and to the point vid. Thanks for keeping it simple and fun.
+Tom Scott My pleasure, Tom. Thanks for watching.
We Hart you JOSH!
Awesome👍👌👌
Love the bloopers, keep them coming! :D
I've been watching many TH-cam tutorials on photography and Josh is my favorite. Not only does he give great and useful tips for this beginner, but he's funny! Some talk waaaaay too much and without showing the end result. Or, they don't tell you the camera settings they used to get that result. Josh does it all, and with entertainment. Keep up the good work and I thank you!
i guess Im asking randomly but does someone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account?
I was dumb lost my login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Francisco Braylen instablaster :)
@Leonard Terrance thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process now.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Leonard Terrance WTF IT REALLY WORKED :O Literally hacked my IG password within about 45 minutes by using the site.
Had to pay 15 bucks but definitely worth the money :O
Thank you so much you saved my account!
@Francisco Braylen No problem :)
Okay I subscribed because of the outtakes :)
Thanks mate
I'm sorry, you just answer my question, excellent video.... Thanks for sharing
Soo beautifull
you the best !!
Subscribed!!
Woohoo Santa Cruz!
Dang Josh, you got your video game on point man. Damn fine video and most of all, great job letting your personality come out and at the same time use this to clearly impart awesome knowledge. Well done!
+Anthony Larson Thanks, dude! It's been a long fun process learning how to make videos. So much more complicated than taking photos.....
One day I will have chance to get next to that ocean thing this land locked life has its down sides. 😀 Love the out takes by the way keep them up. 😂😂
❤
Hi Josh, it is also useful to know the tide times, that can avoid bad surprises. If you can, choose when tide is switching to low... ;)
Very useful video, thanks a lot !!
May I ask you, and the community here, how do you work with the spray coming from the see ?
After a few seconds so close from the sea, my lens is usually full of salty droplets, and it blurs the images...
Thanks for your help :)
Nice 👍
Hi Joshua, thanks for the tip! I have a question though, I'm still an amateur and don't have a tripod just yet, will the photos come out just as great or will there be a camera shake in the photos? Thanks.
Immediately subbed from the intro
Hey, great tips as always. Do you know what ND filter should i get for Sony A6000 kit lens? 16-50mm seems really hard to find one. also for the sigma 30mm! Please help :( or just get a wide lense Rokinon 12mm?
Thank you for the tip on shutter speed, are you suggesting shutter speed priority then? Or do you have suggestions for ISO and aperture as well?
What do people recommend for ND filter? I need one. Anyone recommend me somewhat cheap? Thanks heaps!
Nice tutorial... thanks for the tips..
By the way which place is that
Great effects, yet since waves and ebb and flow of tides normally can be spectacular, I opine seeing one aspect is of course beautiful and so can be as nature provides, surely?
Can you make any recommendations for shooting long exposure beach and waterfall photography with the Canon G7X? The camera has a built-in 3-stop ND filter. Thanks.
Hi Joshua, watched your introduction. I am more curious about the processing. How do you get the photos so nicely balanced in colors and how to do soften the photos? I tend to keep some noise even I use LR for denoise.
Wow amazing photos and were those stacking rocks are volcanic rocks?
Awesome, Joshua. Now I just need to live in a "beachy" (wow) city and just as beautiful as this one shown in the video. Thank you.
+Mister R Haha, you're right: that's Step 0. :)
haha 😂 📷
Sheesh the dad jokes in the first minute were too notch 🤩😂
Excellent tips. Thanks a lot.
Hi Joshua, love your videos. They are really professional. One questions though, I see you made a couple of videos about long exposure. In one of them, you recommended doing long exposure without filters, in the other, you did otherwise. Well, I have been using the Lee Littler and Big stopper filters for years and did know about that PS tricks but never tried it out. My question is that if u can do long exposure with unlimited length and no noise issue, why bother using the filters at all? Or, maybe there's any drawbacks for using the PS? Thanks.
Hahaha loved the bloopers. Great information all around... Need to get me a mefoto tripod (or similar) soon
+Robert Lora Thanks! Yes, a good tripod will be a game changer.
Awesome vudeo and location.May I ask where this was taken at?Thanks
hello sir!
at what time should v try out this method?
morng....aftrnoon....evng....
I am going to Santa Cruz!
What about focal length? Calculating the f stop shutter speed and with the nd? There's a lot more to remember than just the shutter speed!
plus watch out if your using a manual lens for the first time as you have to make sure its sharp before you put on the nd alots of little silly things can catch you out..
Can you bracket during these shots for higher dynamic range or will it get messed up
Do I need a filter former this type of photography, y try the other day but it was over exposed...
Good tip on shutter speed between .25 and 2 seconds approximately for streaming wave texture. If people shoot waves during sunny daytime at f/8 using ND 6 stop filter, shutter speed is 1/6 second or .16 seconds. If you loss a stop with clouds, shutter speed 1/3 or .33 seconds. Sunny golden hour lose 2 stops of light, shutter speed 1.6 seconds.
Wondering what camera and lens were used to make this video.
I'd like to ask when showing us the results of your tips, can we see an un-editted before or after shot along with it? I for one would benefit by helping me to recognize a good composition I might otherwise overlook.
What is the best level of Nd filter u recommend
Funny Guy and a great tipster........:)
Great video Josh! What aperture would you recommend for say right after the sun has set? Sometimes I get those spots if I'm shooting in f/22 and f/8 won't typically be more than 1 second. Or say I'm using my 10 stop filter, I may need a longer shutter than 1 second. Any advice is appreciated.
+Nick Santos Thanks, Nick. Regarding your question about aperture, what are you trying to accomplish in your photos right after the sun has set?
+Professional Photography Tips you know, I figured it out. Didn't get the spots a f/22, 1 second exposures at ISO 64 was looking great last night. I'm cas415 on IG
hi.could you please tell me whats the difrence between long and short exposers are,please
do you live close to Santa Cruz? I am always shooting there!
Why don't we organize a workshop here in Italy? it could be fantastic :)
+Giovanni Fatighenti I have long been eyeing the Dolomites!
+Professional Photography Tips You wanna mean that you are planning them???
+Giovanni Fatighenti Perhaps someday. but I need to come visit for myself first.
Professional Photography Tips sure, but if you want some tip for photographic place, let me know... happy to accompany you..
Thanks for the great work Joshua. If you're not already familiar with Outex and it can help your outdoor, adventure, extended exposure, or inclement environment photography, let us know if you have any questions. Cheers!
Is this 3mile beach in santa cruz? Also what ND filter would work best?
Panther Beach - the ND filter depends on time of day. If you shoot at sunset, you don't need an ND filter.
That works great for the waves but what about the rest of the picture? I have a ND10 and a ND6 but I think they are both too dark, should I go with a lower ND?
When I say "rest of the picture" I mean the beautiful sunset and other colors.
Great video, I'm gonna try using some of those tips for the stream near my house. Not quite an ocean, but it'll still be fun :)
Great Video Joshua. Question: You mentioned the sweet spot for the perfect water streaks is between a shutter speed of .25 and 2 seconds in order to avoid an "oatmeal" effect. If I add my 10 stop ND filter then doesn't that increase my exposure time thus bringing me OUT of the "sweet spot" ? Maybe an obvious answer but I'm have a brain freeze on this one. Thanks, Matthew
You could use 10 stop ND filter when it’s funny at aperture of f/5.6 and shutter speed would be 1.3 seconds. If cloudy or sunset or sunrise, 10 stop would be over 2 seconds.
Is the filter required and if so why what does it do exactly ?
where do you focus?
when you use an ND filter how many stops do you use or do you have a variable filter to suit the conditions
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but it depends on the filter you're using. For a 10-stop ND filter, you'll want to move your shutter speed ten clicks of the dial
3:46 the dreaded dribbler (wave, that is)
To prevent corrosion do you hose-off your tripod with fresh water after it's been in the ocean? If not, how long until your tripod must be replaced? Also, is it a cheap tripod?
عيني
What beach did you go to in this video?
TELL ME WHAT SETTINGS TO USE WHEN FILMING THE CITY, THE WATER AND WATERWALLS. THANKS I HAVE GOPRO HERO 5 BLACK
Great video Joshua. Even though I know how to take these pictures already, you taught me something new here, the pressing of the tripod hard down into the sand :) Great tip. Cheers
lintownboy i did that and lost a robber foot of my manfrotto, make sure they sit thight ;) i never found that foot again...
+lintownboy Yup, that one is a life saver! Well, at least a photo saver.
+ozerostrike Ha! You got that right. This is why I often use metal spikes on my tripod instead of the rubber feet.
Were any of these taken in the central coast of California? Like Santa Cruz, Monterey Bay?
Looks like Shark Fin Cove to me in Santa Cruz
How to include person in long exposure shooting mode?
Josh does the f stop and iso matter as u did not mention them. Thanks
scott loiacono ISO 100 and F/8 between F/11
My problem is the light i have a nd64 filter but nothing work..
fantastic advice!! one of the problems I've had with the tripod IN moving water is it sinking! Never occurred to me to drive it into the sand!!! I feel like such an idiot for not thinking of this myself 😂
Thank you👍🏼
what makes your photo's sooo crisp? I keep trying the same thing, I mean, my tripod ain't that good but still. what's the biggest tip.
小哥好可爱⊙▽⊙很喜欢你的拍摄技巧，照片也很美！不过你看起来好孤单……
can't it possible with hand held....?? and suggest me tripod... glad if you replie
Without a tripod, it's very difficult to hold a camera steady enough to shoot long exposures. If your hands (and your camera) shake while the shutter is open, the entire picture will become blurred
+Jackson Hall oh I see.... Thank q so much for your concern.... suggest me a tripod...?
Where did you get your hat?
Yeah but what about camera settings
Your Canadian right?
