The pure joy! Can't wait to get back home to SoCal ... or to New England ... or Puerto Rico... just give me an ocean and a beach! Thanks for the tips - practical and very useful. Cheers from Atlanta.
Your excitement is infectious.
Thanks Greg! It’s hard not to be excited when the sky looks like that!
I love your enthusiasm. Well done! Thank you.
Great video, Mike! Looked like a great time during sunrise. Glad you all made it out. Awesome seeing your take on these spots. Hope you guys had a great time in town. Hope you all are well!
Thanks buddy!
AWESOME video brother, thank you.
Another excellent video, Mike! You got some fantastic shots. I also like that you are very safety conscious.
Thanks Neal!
Oh man, that's gorgeous. Makes me itch to get out and shoot a seascape / get some proper waves! Love it! Brilliant to see the MistDefender out in the field as well!
Thanks man! I use it on every trip. I hope it gets you some traffic 👊🏼
Mike: I just got back from 3 days in La Jolla. I watched your video again an it made all the difference. I loved very minute I was there. Did not get any clouds or great skies, but the rocks and the waves, were perfect at sunrise and sunsets. Thanks for the inspiration to go there and teaching me how to photograph coastal scenes. I will have to go back again for great skies.
Nice reflection of the sunset colors in the water on the rocks behind you too!
Another great video … 🤩🤩
Your enthusiasm is so infectious! Great vid.
Thanks Joel!
I live on the beach in south Florida and seascapes and long exposures are my forte, i find 1/3 is my sweet spot, when seas are calm i can do extended long exposures 30+. Props help I use driftwood, coconuts, seashells in my shots. When seas are choppy, and clouds are heavy BW works best to get a more dramatic effect but keep it short 1/3 again as longer exposures look grainy because of too much texture in the waves.
Thanks that makes it so simple . Cheers from Pete Western Australia
San Diego is such a cool place to photograph. Thanks for the video.
Awesome work buddy !! Superb !!
Thanks Darren!
A couple of years ago I thought I was in a safe place. I was about 10 meters from where the waves were coming up on the beach, I was using a long lens, when all of a sudden a rogue wave came in. I had to run up the beach, got to a place I could straddle a large log, and got water up to my waist. I made it without injury or damage to my gear but my new rule is, don’t go near the ocean surf without a spotter.
Yeah I’ve been almost caught by a few rogue waves. They’re definitely scary. Hawaii and Iceland are 2 places I’ve seen the biggest ones.
Great vid and excellent pictures Mike
Thank you!
Very inspirational!!
Thanks buddy!
Nice, liked that final picture!
Thank you!
Awesome video Mike your face said it all. 👏👏 Beautiful location, photos were amazing too.
Thank you!
Hey bro. I'm so happy for you with that sky you got. It was amazing indeed! And the photo you walked away with was beautiful too. Thanks for sharing. My ideal setup is always with a remote shutter, but I've never tried the method you used... holding down the shutter in continuous drive mode. I'll need to try it out whenever I forget my remote at home. Kudos.
Thanks Yuri! Definitely much better to use a remote and not touch the camera. I can’t believe I forgot mine.
@@PereaPhotography that happens to me more often than I'd like to admit, so I completely understand. Cheers!
I do see seacapes in Australia. He's my critical bit of advice for people get yourself a decent pair of shoes that has really good grip. Don't stand on anything that is black in other words. If it is black it means it is coated with water and will be very more than likely slippery. I'm not talking about the shoes. I'm talking about the rockStand back for about 15 minutes and just watch where the water is coming up to observe the pattern of the waves before you go down and sheet you might've just got there when it's calm and then suddenly five minutes later, a huge wave comes. Also when you do get down close to where you want to shoot have a bailout option in other words look around you to work out where you're going to move to if a bigger wave is coming towards you and you do need to get out of the way quickly you want to be able to lift your tripod up quickly and bail. So don't leave your bag lying on the ground next to your tripod in the circumstances, either have the backpack on your back or well away up into a dry area. Don't try to go for the hero shot and then lose your tripod and camera and potentially yourself.
Nice, beautiful scene 😎👍
Thanks Dave!
instead of holding the shutter button down, i use the timelapse function; after i decide about the aperture and shutter speed( usually 0.5 up to 1 sec for this type of photo) , I take like 250 photos at 3 sec interval, or maybe less or more, depends on how angry the sea
Love it!!
Another good video, and some nice images. On water photos I very much shutter speeds and then stack them in Photoshop and add detail where I'd like to see more detail. Enjoy your videos. Tell your wife I'm half German.
Thank you and will do!
I very much enjoy your videos. They have helped me re-learn photography after a youthful era of non-digital cameras and learning to wind film onto a reel in the dark.. I still get amused when photographers explain what the terms dodging and burning mean. I will be in San Diego in several weeks. I'm staying in the La Jolla area. Could you point me to a good beach or two. I used your tips and advice recently and got some good shots at Caddo State Park in Texas. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with others.
All up and down the La Jolla coast are amazing spots. You can't go wrong!
From your comments, it sounds like you have an adequate number of shots to do some mean blending in photoshop!! Thanks Mike!
Oh Yeah! Hundreds! Haha
Excellent video, Mike. You got some great shots. I am curious about how you handle the sea spray. On a recent trip to the Oregon coast, I gave up shooting for fear of ruining my carmera. Is wiping with a cloth after each spash sufficient or should I use some sort of protective hood?
Thanks Richard! One of my mentors told me a quote that I like a lot. “If you’re not getting wet, you’re not doing it right!” Haha and yes I just have a few lens cloths handy and just wipe off in between sprays.
On a different note, what brand boots are you wearing? In the market for a good pair...
They are the NPS Boundary Sock. I absolutely love them for this type of shooting.
Are u using nd filter?
First🤪♥️
🤣
I'm hearing the same excitement in your voice as you had with the fog in the Superstitions. Have you created your favorite of 2023...? 🙂
I told my wife that I am off to a great start!! 🤣
I live about 15 minutes from Laguna/Newport beach and shoot 20-30 seascapes per year. I'm lucky to get 1-2 burner skies. You drive hundreds of miles for a sunrise seascape and get a burner. What a jerk. 😂
🤣 I talked to Ben Horne who said the same thing. He was in his garage watching this particular sunrise. We made it in between the big storms, stayed one night, and got really lucky haha. Definitely the best sunrise I’ve ever had in California.
