This was a beautifully made video Michael. I really enjoyed it and it took me back to my years living near Mt Tam. I enjoyed many mornings watching the fog roll in over the trees. Thanks for a great video.
Hey thanks so much Nigel! I have been really enjoying your channel as well, awesome videos! Mt Tam and the Headlands are just fantastic places that I have taken for granted over the years. I have been having fun exploring more since being stuck in the Bay Area during quarantine. How long did you live in the Bay Area for?
Michael Shainblum two years - in Tiburon. I spent a lot of time photographing up there and in muir woods (which didn’t get much fog...) thanks for the kind words. 👍🏼
Often people dont even realize anymore, what gift they got in front of their door. Some of us are just elected by fortune. So as you guys talk about your environment, you seem to enjoy it and care about. Keep on sharing this views with others you cant go reach those spots! Thx for sharing with me.
Sweet. Poignant for me. I lived in the Bay Area for 35 years and have climbed all over Mount Tam. Lived in Mill Valley on the side of the mountain. Older now, and no hiking. Do all you can now. When it’s gone, it’s gone.
Really enjoying this kind of videos you doing lately, showing the shooting, explaining the parameters of the camera and showing some pics and time-lapses, with the chill music. Nice watch.
I was fortunate to visit and spend most of a week in San Fran years ago. It was such a different environment for me from the desert southwest I've lived in most of my life. I never felt really comfortable there, as fascinating as it was. I enjoy and appreciate all of your videos. Thank you!
Extremely inspiring creation, a sight for sore eyes, dearest! Keep on with bringing nature’s beauty into our hearts during repeated lockdowns in Greece and during the abolition of the freedom of soeech over here!
Hi Frank, looks like a nice trail, can you please tell me which one that was that Michael walked up? i like to ride/hike on mt tam too, always enjoy exploring new trails (mostly mt bike) but working on hiking more there and looking for some new gems to experience - thnx for any trail head names you think would be fun & good for photo ops!! 🙏🏼
@@andreak4280 Hi there Andrea. happy to be of help. parts of it look like Railroad Grade, and other parts look like Eldridge Grade. i've done both many times, that's why i can say i've been on the same trail. Railroad Grade is a gentle climb out of Mill Valley, and the easiest way up to the east peak. Eldridge is more severe, steeper and more technical, also going to the east peak, beginning in the Ross/Fairfax area. The part with the stairs looks like the Cataract Trail, which is not bikeable, but the most beautiful hike i have yet encountered anywhere. if you want details on cataract, if you've not been on it before, let me know, and i will send you the particulars. here is one of my photos from Cataract: facebook.com/photo?fbid=3394198550602535&set=a.114024258619997
frank waters - Hi Frank, thanks for getting back to me! i have ridden my bike up both RR & Eldridge, (wonderful views as you know) i guess some of the footage just did not register in my brain as those trails. 🤪😅 until he was out of the wooded tree areas looking toward SF. The stairs threw me off ! I thought it may have been a side trail taken going up the mountain - off one of those main 2 trails you mention. If he was on Cataract (stair area) i def was thrown as that area would be a different hike going up altogether. I love Cataract trail, i do know it and remember the days when it was almost always empty with the exception of a few hikers seen in the hours i would go to photograph there - no longer a “secret gem” for sure ... and definitely not a biking trail!! Possibly Michael used different hiking footage of his adventures in this vid (??) I greatly appreciate the reply! Was just looking to hopefully find out a new side route up the mountain with cool views and possible photo ops when out hiking. Take care
@@andreak4280 there are a couple more routes i know , which are much more difficult. one begins about half a mile into RR, it goes off to the right, and leads to a lot of very steep roller coaster type stuff. the other, i think it's called rock springs and begins about 1/4 of the way around lake lagunitas.
I sit here in Australia eating my Korean pork noddles watching what a great day you had hiking and making some most excellent video and stills images in the US. Thanks for sharing it with us :)
Michael, your time lapse images in this video and many of you other videos are other worldlly. Your vlogs consistently have a cinematic flair that makes them quite unique, and the way you use music is especially powerful. Exquisite!
Walking back to the camera is definitely over rated. Who needs that anyway. Great shots Michael. I wish I could hike like that again..... thanks for sharing.
Good god that last time lapse was juice factor 11. What's the best interval for fog like that? We get a lot of fog on the BC coast in November so I wanna be prepared. Also, do you know of any brilliant time lapse photography courses available out there ;) ? Also, if you could just stop being so ripped that would be awesome.
Very entertaining video. Definitely need to go watch this park at sunset. And I believe you did your steps for the entire month with the whole back and forth from the camera.
Those are some of my favourite images, I agree with your statement about the texture in the clouds. Either way you were walking away with some beautiful frames. As ever the time lapses were superb. Felt like a 5 minute video that I didn't want it to end, I was glued. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
Dig this style of video. I’ve begun to dislike going to the popular overlooks for images and find much more enjoyment in immersive outdoor experience with a camera and capturing images along the way. Much more personal connection to the images and far more unique outcomes. Love the music you chose. Nice work. Love the art form.
music. Timelapses. Yup. that is the vibe! :D :D :D so good. The bit at the end. Hiking b-roll. while hiking by there the last time saw a huge salamander there on the left. crazy big. well done!
Great video as always Michael. I absolutely love the scriptless-ness of your videos, feels very natural. Also the fact that you try things out on camera bolsters the importance of not sticking to a rule! Thank you for the awesome content.
Micheal, these videos are so inspiring! I know it takes some time to hike and find the perfect spots. However; you make it look so interesting. Love these. Thank you very much.
@@MichaelShainblum Sounds good! I'm headed up to to the city tomorrow. Probably check out Tam for the first time but will be driving through. I can't do that hike you did but that must be how people get out of there without a ticket :) Thanks for the inspiration too
So neat Michael. What great shots. I don't know which stills shot I like the best but that time-lapse was so good I took a video of your time-lapse and sent it to my wife. Now she wants me to make one of those. Time to go to San Francisco, I guess.
Your videos are always so great, beautiful shots, your time lapse skills are simply in a class of their own, the music, the narration, all perfect. And your comment on the B Roll walking footage, that was great too. Lovely work Michael, always look forward to your videos.
I think I've gone up to Mt Tam 8 or 10 times this summer. Fog was phenomenal this season and your shots always make it look even more epic. If I ever bump into you up there or in the city, I'll say hi.
Beautifully done Michael! I definitely favor the simple images - they are so compelling! I spent years working in the Bay Area before I retired. Always wanted to experience and shoot the fog like that.
I really appreciate the creativity and authenticity of you work, Michael. If you ever make plans to shoot in the Great Smokies, please feel free to reach out for a local’s perspective.

@@NigelDanson Such a nice spot. Well in the future when things calm down, if you ever make it back to the Bay Area, give me a shout!

That opening song is on my favourite photo editing playlist. Great mood and shots.
Awesome video man! Thanks for sharing
'Can't remember how to use my camera', 'almost forgot my camera'. I'm glad to see it is not just me who does this!
Wow Michael!!! What a fantastic Video!!!!!
Thank you!
Those photos are absolutely beautiful.
Super enjoyable video Michael and the resulting images are nothing short of fantastic! 11:05 !!!!
Thanks so much Mark, I am really glad you enjoyed the video :)
Second to last image is my favorite! Awesome video Michael.
Gorgeous as usual. Love the timelapse and ALL photos....Fantastic!!!!
Really enjoying this kind of videos you doing lately, showing the shooting, explaining the parameters of the camera and showing some pics and time-lapses, with the chill music. Nice watch.
How can I not like your videos? You are the nr 1 inspiration for me to learn more about time-lapse.
All the thumbs up to you 👍👍
Thanks so much!
Absolutely fantastic! Great video. Love the timelapses of the clouds flowing. 👏👏👏
Thank you!
I think a shot, square crop of the lone tree at 11.20 would have looked cool.Amazing video and images man...👌🏻👌🏻

The shot at 10:40 is epic. I mean full stop, hang in and museum, cal the MoMA in NYC epic. Wow!
Really love your timelaps - like elf dancing in the sky
Thanks so much!
Awesome photos!
Stunning sir. Really nice. I do live the time-lapse stuff
Extremely inspiring creation, a sight for sore eyes, dearest! Keep on with bringing nature’s beauty into our hearts during repeated lockdowns in Greece and during the abolition of the freedom of soeech over here!
i've hiked that same path, and ridden my mountain bike on nearly all the trails of Tam.
Hi Frank, looks like a nice trail, can you please tell me which one that was that Michael walked up?

Great Images from a nice Location 👍📸. Lg Michael
Thanks for sharing - really enjoyable video, and I love those photos and time lapses of the fog & trees. 😎
That wave motion of the fog in the foreground was amazing!
Thank you so much!
I always watch your videos.. Amazing places, Amazing photos.. Love from Assam, India❤️❤️❤️
Amazing our 🌎 . watch from 🇮🇳
Can I give two thumbs up for this one? Stunnings shots!
Thanks so much Simon!
you ended up with very nice collection of images and timelapse. Great work again :)
I sit here in Australia eating my Korean pork noddles watching what a great day you had hiking and making some most excellent video and stills images in the US. Thanks for sharing it with us :)
It's all good but that last timelapse was amazing.
Hehe, I can so relate to the walking back part :D
Nice scenery! It looks so beautiful!
The picture with the bokeh in the foreground was crazy good. It’s not something I’m used too seeing. Creative and very well executed.
Thanks so much Oscar!
The timlaps was amazing! But gladly you took a photo, witch i find awesome. What a fog that is!
The music and the scenery really went together well and was soothing, really loved the video, the photos and the place itself.
I love the last image so much so the timelapse
Great fog rolls!
love the outtakes at the end.
That shot at 8:16 is incredible! Looks like the island trees are adrift in an ocean of cloud, it's really got some movement to it!
Great images Michael. So ethereal and silky smooth.
Thank you Andreas!
Spectacular 👌
Michael, your time lapse images in this video and many of you other videos are other worldlly. Your vlogs consistently have a cinematic flair that makes them quite unique, and the way you use music is especially powerful. Exquisite!
Nice video!! I never done any timelapses, you just inspired with me with that 👊🏽👊🏽
I grew up there, this was awesome and thank you
Awesome Michael, thank you for sharing your perception and inspirational time lapses
Amazing time lapse . 🔥
Great video. This rolling fog timelapse, was one of the prettiest timelapses I've ever seen - just mesmerizing!
You really are a great photographer and film maker. Thanks
Another great video. Lol at the walking back...yeah it means extra steps but I don't mind.
You are the master of landscape timelapse photography. Great work!
You are too kind, thanks so much!
Awesome video and imagery!
Walking back to the camera is definitely over rated. Who needs that anyway. Great shots Michael. I wish I could hike like that again..... thanks for sharing.
Amazing video and wow beautiful images...

Thanks so much Gavin, I would say 1 sec is pretty good for fast moving fog usually. Hahaha yeah I should go ahead and list that huh?
@@MichaelShainblum yah post a link here and pin it ;)
love your work 👏👏
Gorgeous work. Your time lapses always impress upon me that clouds are water as they are so ocean- like.
Amazing timelaps!
Michael. This is just so good. Your vision has a way of touching my soul to the core. THANK YOU!
Well done Michael!
again some amazing shots!!!
Very entertaining video. Definitely need to go watch this park at sunset. And I believe you did your steps for the entire month with the whole back and forth from the camera.
Haha yeah it was quite the back and fourth to do the shots. Thanks so much Aman, definitely check it out once the fires are under control.
Love every minute of that but the final time lapse and still photo were my favorites.
Those are some of my favourite images, I agree with your statement about the texture in the clouds. Either way you were walking away with some beautiful frames. As ever the time lapses were superb. Felt like a 5 minute video that I didn't want it to end, I was glued. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Perfect mix of hiking Kraig Adams style and stunning photography!! Great!!
I love Kraig's relaxing videos. I definitely gained some inspiration for the hiking shots from him. Thanks so much Marco!
Lol walking back to the camera is the most under appreciated aspect of vlogging. Beautiful images and timelapses!
Awesome video Michael. That time lapse at the end is mesmerizing. Well done!
Wow, brilliant video and photos. These minimalistic fog shots are so good!
Your pictures are great.
Heck, yes. Best of luck shooting out there and happy trails.
music. Timelapses. Yup. that is the vibe! :D :D :D so good. The bit at the end. Hiking b-roll. while hiking by there the last time saw a huge salamander there on the left. crazy big. well done!
Thanks so much Peter! :)
This is so stunning just briliant 👌👌👌
Another great video...
Beautiful! The time lapse of the fog rolling in reminds me of waves of water. Well, in a sense it is waves of water. Thanks for sharing!
Great video as always Michael. I absolutely love the scriptless-ness of your videos, feels very natural. Also the fact that you try things out on camera bolsters the importance of not sticking to a rule! Thank you for the awesome content.
Beautiful 😌
Thank you! 😊
I'm also in the Bay Area. Your time lapses are inspiring me to learn how. Thanks for all the videos
Thanks Mike!
Beautiful and so Peaceful!
Thanks Nick!
Great images and time lapse, as always, Michael. Enjoyed it very much. Cheers!
Micheal, these videos are so inspiring! I know it takes some time to hike and find the perfect spots. However; you make it look so interesting. Love these. Thank you very much.
Glad you like them! Thanks so much Lisa!
Always look forward to the next one!!
The hiking B-roll was awesome! Nice work and what a beautiful adventure!
Really glad you enjoyed the hike Frank, I have more hiking stuff coming soon. With much better hiking shots.
@@MichaelShainblum Sounds good! I'm headed up to to the city tomorrow. Probably check out Tam for the first time but will be driving through. I can't do that hike you did but that must be how people get out of there without a ticket :) Thanks for the inspiration too

So neat Michael. What great shots. I don't know which stills shot I like the best but that time-lapse was so good I took a video of your time-lapse and sent it to my wife. Now she wants me to make one of those. Time to go to San Francisco, I guess.
loved the little dancing you did at the end...lol. How long is that hike?
Great shots Michael. Lovely time lapses as well.
Absolutely love the timeless and images 😍 ❤ 💕 beautiful work brother ❤ 👏.
Thank you!
Nice! So you made a 2 mile hike in 3 miles...ahhh, B Roll. Entertaining as well as informative.
Super video and images as ever Michael.
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you Jason!
Excellent video, Michael, thank you! I feel like we haven’t seen fog here in the northeast for months now, beautiful stuff!
Nice one! Really enjoyed the images! Good work!
Amazing work😍😍😍 .. please do an tutorial for timelapse and editing those timelapses 👍🏻
Love the Walking back to the camera Outro. I just might steal that from you. (Awsome Images, and a magical time-lapse. Loved it.)
Haha thanks so much Todd! :)
Michael I love your work. I felt like I was there with you.
Fantastic timelapse! I agree, sometimes the best shot is when you don't expect it! Great job!
Your videos are always so great, beautiful shots, your time lapse skills are simply in a class of their own, the music, the narration, all perfect. And your comment on the B Roll walking footage, that was great too. Lovely work Michael, always look forward to your videos.
The last image is spectacular! Thanks for sharing the video :)
Thanks for watching!
Loved the vlog...the timelapse with the fog rolling over the hills was great,and those last two images...wow!
I think I've gone up to Mt Tam 8 or 10 times this summer. Fog was phenomenal this season and your shots always make it look even more epic. If I ever bump into you up there or in the city, I'll say hi.
It was quite good earlier this month before the fires. Hey if you see me around please say hi! :) Thanks so much Francis!
