For those of us who don't live near or have much of a chance to visit "Grand Landscape" country, it's videos like this about intimate landscape photography that provide us with inspiration and insight for our own photography Michael! I've been photographing nature/landscapes for about 40 years and the "all-in-one" lenses have become so much better than the earlier generations. Also grateful to see an amazing photographer like yourself regularly using f16 while other photographers disparage using anything over f8-f11. Looking forward to your next video!
I absolutely love my Tamron 28-200, been using it for a couple of years and it's on my camera all the time. The biggest downside is definitely the softness in the 28-35mm range, but I've also observed a bit of unfortunate vignetting and darker circles when photographing flat scenes. It only happens with the wrong aperture/focal range combination. It requires a bit of post-processing to get rid off ;) Besides that, beautiful photos. Especially liked those skittles photos around 11:00 :)
Hello Michael. One of the things that gives me pleasure when watching these videos of photography lovers is the identification with philosophies related to photography. Like you, I live in California but in Europe, the Algarve, and the sea is often my refuge. This kind of photography is very nice on those days when the light is less dramatic and we have a whole beach to feel without worrying about composing for a dramatic sky. Regarding the equipment, funny that I have a kit very similar to yours, I already had the Zeiss 16-35 F4 and the 24-105 F4 but I changed it a few years ago for portability reasons, I have the Tamron 17-28 and the 28-200 , just like the sigma 100-400, it was fun to see that you have something very similar. The body is the A7IV, it's enough for me. I recently bought the Laowa 12-24 F5.6, it's interesting when we need something really UW and very creative in other areas of photography because it focuses at 5cm on 12mm. However, it doesn't have the sharpness or microcontrast that we are used to. I have other GM primes but for more personal, family and city use. Have fun with the 28-200, it's really useful and practical, on the F16 it loses a bit of resolution but it's a good compromise.
There isn’t another landscape photography channel, where I come and revisit vlogs I previously watched. This one is once again just such a delight, Michael. Awesome story telling, the choice of music is 👌, and the photography simply fascinating! Love your work.
Michael this brought tears to my eyes.. i love your photographs.. thank you Michael for sharing this video and for inspiring me.. i hope to see more of your videos in the future..
I love the "abstract" shots of the sand as we see something different each time looking at the photos. I live near a beach and I often take photos of the sand ripples and water rivulets as the tide goes in and out. It creates a blank canvas each time.
I can’t go for a walk on a beach without taking photos of the patterns made by the tide. Each time it’s different. If I don’t have my Fuji with me, I just use my phone instead. I’ve just completed a small, spirally-bound book with all the sand patterns I’ve captured. Now I can get rid of them off my phone! I love your intimate landscape videos like this one. Keep ‘em coming!
So true about this lens…. it can do it all and handy light weight and good image quality as well…. since 2022 it is on my camera and makes it easy… nice detailled landscapes with these patterns!!! Nice vlog…
I've been wanting a Sony 100-400mm for a while but then I see your videos and the remarkable images you take with your Sigma 100-400mm. I also believe Mads is using Tamron lenses and it speaks well for the company that people like you and he use them often and to great effect. Thanks again from bringing us along!
as a beginner like how you tell us the settings you for each shots helps give ideas on how to set up camera for pictures when out as new photographers, thanks great video
Thanks for these stunningly lovely images, Michael. My favourite was the pore holes filled with tiny pebbles because it looked so much like a collection of coloured beads ready for my granddaughter to make a necklace with. Yes, I saw the monster face where you did - how could anyone not!? Elsewhere I saw alien landscapes. I couldn't help but wonder at the extent of the storm in your location as there was so much debris on the beach. It's wonderful that you see the opportunities that you do and then can obtain something special from a location others would walk past. It's inspiring and instructional.
Nice photos! Yes I see the faces of creatures in those photos. 😅 I have become so found of abstract photography. it's truly a hidden and unique world, just like macro photography which I also really like. :)
Love these images Michael and so happy to hear to your thoughts on an 'all-in-one' type lens because I just recently got a Sigma 18-300 for similar reasons. As a senior, amateur hobbyist I enjoy carrying less gear, and as one who shoots a variety of stuff when out hiking, I am really thrilled about not changing lenses in the field which I have always hated. So far I haven't noticed much distortion or the other compromises one would expect with this type of lens and it is well-suited for my budget, the type of photography I do and what I use it for.
Another good one dudel. Great variety in your photography. This lens also interests me for the very same reason. Better than carrying the 24-70 and 70-200 on those longer hikes. Keep up the good work!!
Yes, i definitely see a spooky face too!! Lovely video! Like how you can switch from epic wide angle vistas to small intimate abstract landscapes. Thank you!
Hello Michael, not only are you a great photographer, but I very much like how you seem to consciously choose "budget" lenses for your work. It shows how useless gear obsession and pixel peeping are and that the photographic eye and the inspiration and joy are everything!
I love my Tamron 28-200. Versatile and sharp. That's probably the only lens I'll bring when I go hiking for a couple of weeks in the mountains in September. Also have the 50-400 which I love just as much.
Absolutely fantastic video and images! I really love the light that you captured and the thought process behind the polarizer is wonderful. It's always a joy to see your videos pop up in the feed! Cheers 👍
Amazing images and video (again)! As a hiker (including long distance like the AT and PCT) I've always been interested in all in one lenses that still gave image quality a step or two above simple P&S cameras, and lately the cell phone camera. Image quality used to suffer a bit, so it's interesting to see that several of my favorite landscape photographer now consider lenses like the Tamron 28-200 to be good enough even for more serious use.
Great video Michael, I love the imagery! I bought the Tamron 28-200 for the same reason. I really wanted a lightweight versatile lens for longer hikes. I pair it with the Sigma 16-28mm. I am inspired now to try it for some abstracts.
Another great video, Michael. I love the “graininess” (pun intended) of the zoomed in pictures of the patterns. I also really like the different shapes (faces, ghosts, etc) in the patterns. You provided some excellent insight into using polarizing filters, as well.
Loved this episode Michael, firstly it was good to see you use that lens, I have been thinking of buying the Tamron 18-300 for the Fuji X mount for all the reasons you mention in the video. Also this is the kind of stuff I love to shoot. Thanks as always for sharing and for the inspiration.
Loved this Michael. A few years back, I spent the better part of a day photographing "sandstone sculpture", I think, down around Pigeon Point. Amazing! As for the Tamron, I bought that lens a couple years ago and it is my most used lens. It's even better with the A7RV now, because I can shoot in crop mode and get 26 mp @ 300mm equivalent.
I can see an animal face in the image @ 6:15. When you said eerie about the image @ 5:00 and then showed the closeup @ 5:30, I focused on the highlights. Then I saw lines forming a square torso with elongated arms and legs centered about 1/3 of the way from the top and 1/3 from the left, spooky. Good stuff, thanks.
Great images and great video! Those were some very cool patterns and I loved the pitted rock loaded with the tiny, colorful pebbles. I would have stayed on that beach until there was no light left! You have such an eye and appreciation for patterns and details that I wonder if you've considered doing more close up or macro photography?
Recently picked up this Tamron 28-200 for a trip in Patagonia which I just returned from. I was surprised of how compact and lightweight it is. It is now my favorite lena! Such a versatile lens and actually quite sharp. It is very good when for hiking/backpacking especially with other people when you don't have time to change lenses. And in Patagonia the wind is such brutal! I've also always felt that 70mm wasn't quite long enough as a walk around lens. I also carried a 20mm prime for my hike. Good combo.
Fantastic abstracts, Michael! The sand shots are like viewing the Sahara desert from a high altitude airplane. I take a RF 24-105mm f/4L on hikes. Problem is, sometimes its not wide enough and other times its not long enough. lol Murphy's Law. When there is no landscape shot, all the wildlife is around, and vise versa. I've been looking at the RF 24-240mm, but word is it has bad vignette and fringing. No weather sealing either. 900 bucks too! Bleh!
I purchased the Sony 24-105 f4 recently. I didn’t realize how heavy it is for a slightly small lens. I’ll be reselling it and sticking with the Tamron 28-200mm.👍🏽
Some really great abstract work in there. I use the lens too and like it a lot. Corners suffer from some softness and I find the weight of the polarizer/filter holder makes the lens zoom in (extend) when shooting straight down. It seems to ne not sturdy enough to handle the little extra weight. Small gripes to a lens I use more and more, for exactly the same reasons you mentioned.
Beautiful shots. I’m really taken by the eroded pockets with multi-colored pebbles. With the sand ridges, I’d be tempted to get flush with the surface with my macro lens and see if I could get a mini-Death Valley shot.
Great video, as always. I was wondering about the tiny tripod. Are you satisfied with its performance. I’m looking for a sturdy, lightweight tripod that can hold a DSLR.
New to your channel. I have to ask, is that David Helpling's music I hear in the background? Nice exploration of the beach. Enjoyed it. Clicked the subscribe button.
Love this! Looks like this lens is only for Sony? I’m selling my Canon 50 1.2 to buy a better landscape option & need to figure out what the best purchase will be with what I make from it (probably around $1700). I already have the 16-35. Is there a Tamron Canon lens similar to this one you recommend? I want to do seascapes/panning/ and detail shots like these. 😊
Back in 2020, my wife and I sold all our gear to switch systems. She was a Nikon shooter, I was a Canon shooter. We wanted to share gear, but neither of us wanted to switch to the other system. So we both switched to Sony. As part of that process, we bought a pair of Tamron 28-200's as our first new "beginner" (to the system) lenses, intending to eventually replace them with "better" lenses that covered the zoom range. The more we used them, the more we started to realize.... we don't actually need to replace them. In fact, we had picked perfect lenses (for our use-case, of course) right from the get go. It's such a fantastic piece of glass that gets thrown way too much shade by folks who review it using test charts. In the real world, the (very) few realistic optical compromises do not even come close to outweighing the combination of sharpness, character, versatility, size, and price that this lens can provide. The Tamron 17-28 has an extremely similar value proposition, and the combination of the two is nearly perfect for landscape work. We love these lenses.
Hmm I think that was is for crop sensors. So that would be like a 27-450mm in terms of full frame conversion. Different lenses for different types of cameras, but that covers a huge range, if the quality is good that sounds like a dream lens for APSC.
I switched to Sony (A7R5) one week before going on a trip to Pugglia in Italy and bought this 28-200 thinking I might send it back on my return and take more time to decide on the lens I would like to buy for the long term. But I was actually quite please with it and I’m going to keep it. I need something wider Iike a Sony G 20mm 1.8 as 28mm wasn’t wide enough at times in cities but otherwise it’s a great walkaround lens. Thanks to @mads Peter Iversen who made me discover that lens on his channel.
Hello Michael, in your creature picture (6.10 min), i can see a biker with his helmet just under the left eye of the creature. We can clearly see the head, the body, arms ans legs. He has a "Spiderman position" when he's fixed on a wall ! Can you see him ? Thanks a lot for this vidéo ! Have a nice day !
You've heard that before i know but you're the best landscape photographer on TH-cam along with Adam Gibbs and Mads Peter Iversen coming in third place just because he does sky replacements that i think it's aweful for him. He really knows how to shoot but he keeps relying on switching skies all the time when the weather conditions doesn't fit him. He really shouldn't and he should just keep looking out for compositions that are real and not fake... Since you don't do it and Adam doesn't do it either Mads is a less landscape photographer to my eyes but indeed one of the most capable ones out there...
@@christophmunch4796 Well you seem not be a subscriber to his channel or know as much as i know about him. I follow his channel and i have watched almost all of his videos. He does it all the time. Lol
@@zampination Dude, firstly I also watch all his videos, secondly there is NO instance where he tells anything about that he exchanged a sky. You are a liar.

The softness at 28-35 mm is no real problem, though, because one also brings a 16-35 lens anyway 😎

Yes Michael I agree with you -the "face" shape in the sand reminds me of the famous painting "the Scream" !
There isn’t another landscape photography channel, where I come and revisit vlogs I previously watched. This one is once again just such a delight, Michael. Awesome story telling, the choice of music is 👌, and the photography simply fascinating! Love your work.
Great video Michael, my vue.....I saw what looked like Gavin Hardcastle's face as if he was up to his waist in freezing cold water! SCARY huh
Another great video Michael. These abstracts in the sand just blow me away.
Michael this brought tears to my eyes.. i love your photographs.. thank you Michael for sharing this video and for inspiring me.. i hope to see more of your videos in the future..

I am in awe seeing your photos. You see things not many see, and the images are just breathtaking. Love the lens!
Couldn’t agree more with a comment below about expensive gear. Some stunning shots buddy!

I love how you see beauty in the smallest things. Beautiful work, Michael. 👍🦘
Wow! Beautiful. Super. Wonderful. Words are not sufficient.
Wow, thank you so much!
Who would have thought taking photos of sand patterns could be so interesting. Thank you for the inspiration.
Fabulous, I have always loved your abstract photography.😊
as a beginner like how you tell us the settings you for each shots helps give ideas on how to set up camera for pictures when out as new photographers, thanks great video
This video was like a 15-minute Rorschach Test! It was a lot of fun to watch and think about what I found in the mud patterns.
Best music in your videos yet, loved it.
Great watch as usual. Really enjoyed it Michael!
Much appreciated! :)
Thanks for this video. It inspires me to get out and enjoy a new perspective on my coast.
Great video, I can definitely see a gargoyle's face in one of the pattens. I never thought taking photos of sand patterns could be that interesting.
My go to lens when I pull out my Sony A74
Thanks for these stunningly lovely images, Michael.

Thanks so much for the support!

I have become so found of abstract photography. it's truly a hidden and unique world,

absolutely killed those shots, great video man
thanks man!

Great, great, great!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, i definitely see a spooky face too!!
Lovely video!
Like how you can switch from epic wide angle vistas to small intimate abstract landscapes.
Thank you!
Thanks Jan! :)
Great video. 5:00 The shapes in the sand looked like dementors.
Definitely see ghost images too, but the lighter thinner lines form images of emaciated bodies in my mind.
Looks like some New Zealand scenes there. Looking forward to seeing some more from NZ 😘
Hello Michael, not only are you a great photographer, but I very much like how you seem to consciously choose "budget" lenses for your work. It shows how useless gear obsession and pixel peeping are and that the photographic eye and the inspiration and joy are everything!
One of my favorite lenses as well. The weather sealing on it is surprisingly good. I've had my for a little over a year now and no issues.
I love my Tamron 28-200. Versatile and sharp. That's probably the only lens I'll bring when I go hiking for a couple of weeks in the mountains in September. Also have the 50-400 which I love just as much.
I have heard great things about the 50-400. I definitely want to check that one out
I got that lens as a mid filler between 16-35 and 100-400 it’s amazing especially to have one lens only as a family/ moments run and gun for holidays
Absolutely fantastic video and images!
I really love the light that you captured and the thought process behind the polarizer is wonderful.
It's always a joy to see your videos pop up in the feed! Cheers 👍
Loved the patterns. Some remind me of vertebrate skeletons!
Amazing images and video (again)! As a hiker (including long distance like the AT and PCT) I've always been interested in all in one lenses that still gave image quality a step or two above simple P&S cameras, and lately the cell phone camera.

Very cool! I saw the eerie face but I also saw the person with the arms out, in the previous photo! Love it!😳💛
Thanks so much!
The Joe Perra vibes are especially alive. So relaxing watching! :D
Fantastic!
Great video Michael, I love the imagery! I bought the Tamron 28-200 for the same reason. I really wanted a lightweight versatile lens for longer hikes. I pair it with the Sigma 16-28mm. I am inspired now to try it for some abstracts.
Really enjoyed this episode, Michael! Lovely shots🔥😀
Thanks so much Andrea!
Spooky, I saw those faces even before you mentioned them, so distinct.
Love this video and yes I saw lots of faces in the shots
Absolutely a face, a spooky face too! Where are you shooting, south of SF? Awesome photos!
That single shot, I see the face from the scream movies. but the others they look like a bunch of tormented souls 😀such stunning photos
Fascinating and inspiring work. I recently got same lens for Iceland trip and your images certainly give some food for thought
Used this lens for a year in all my travels with my wife. As such I carry a small bag with a small tripod and everyone is happy!
Really nice detailed shots! I absolutely love the way you see and work on compositions! The creature/face reminded me on IronMaiden’s mascot Eddie 😂
Awesome stuff!
Hi Michael, great approach! Nice video. I see Eddie, from Iron Maiden. 😉
6:15.......Ghoulish face for sure!
Great vid!
Another great video, Michael. I love the “graininess” (pun intended) of the zoomed in pictures of the patterns. I also really like the different shapes (faces, ghosts, etc) in the patterns. You provided some excellent insight into using polarizing filters, as well.
Looks like Gavin looking at your wonderful photography😁
Brilliant video!

Great video! About the image-I see a bouquet of flowers, perhaps tulips. Didn’t see faces (even ghostly ones).
I love that interpretation, thank you!

5:00 reminds me of early human cave paintings, I can see a human top center and some game to the left.
I don’t see a face, but a creative tulip and what a great video as always
Oh I like that take, thanks so much!
Great video! Gorgeous California! I found a Tamron 18 to 270 it goes everywhere with me lots of fun! What tripod do you use ?
looks like flowers in sand
Oh, you have such a beautiful eye for intimate scenes.. Probably a dumb question, but 'm assuming it's 28 - 200mm full frame?
Amazing stuff. Is this Big Sur by any chance ?
I bought the 28-200 about 2 months ago and I regret not buying it sooner, took 3 lenses on my last trip but the other two didn't get used at all :p
I have this lens, like it a great deal.
Love this! Looks like this lens is only for Sony? I’m selling my Canon 50 1.2 to buy a better landscape option & need to figure out what the best purchase will be with what I make from it (probably around $1700). I already have the 16-35. Is there a Tamron Canon lens similar to this one you recommend? I want to do seascapes/panning/ and detail shots like these. 😊
Back in 2020, my wife and I sold all our gear to switch systems. She was a Nikon shooter, I was a Canon shooter. We wanted to share gear, but neither of us wanted to switch to the other system. So we both switched to Sony.
As part of that process, we bought a pair of Tamron 28-200's as our first new "beginner" (to the system) lenses, intending to eventually replace them with "better" lenses that covered the zoom range. The more we used them, the more we started to realize.... we don't actually need to replace them. In fact, we had picked perfect lenses (for our use-case, of course) right from the get go.
It's such a fantastic piece of glass that gets thrown way too much shade by folks who review it using test charts. In the real world, the (very) few realistic optical compromises do not even come close to outweighing the combination of sharpness, character, versatility, size, and price that this lens can provide.
The Tamron 17-28 has an extremely similar value proposition, and the combination of the two is nearly perfect for landscape work. We love these lenses.
When I need to shoot in places with sand, salt water and blowing wind, I prefer to use my Tamron 28-200mm lens instead of my more expensive lenses.
Will you comment on your choice of the Tamron 200 rather than the 18 to 300? Great photos and presentation!
Hmm I think that was is for crop sensors. So that would be like a 27-450mm in terms of full frame conversion. Different lenses for different types of cameras, but that covers a huge range, if the quality is good that sounds like a dream lens for APSC.
That ghostly face at around the 6:13 mark reminds me of the Samhain III album “November-Coming-Fire”. Look it up, I think you’ll see what I mean.
Dose this come in a E-mount
I totally saw some ghostly faces before you even mentionned it.
I switched to Sony (A7R5) one week before going on a trip to Pugglia in Italy and bought this 28-200 thinking I might send it back on my return and take more time to decide on the lens I would like to buy for the long term. But I was actually quite please with it and I’m going to keep it. I need something wider Iike a Sony G 20mm 1.8 as 28mm wasn’t wide enough at times in cities but otherwise it’s a great walkaround lens. Thanks to @mads Peter Iversen who made me discover that lens on his channel.
Brother, can I use two photos of oregano video? It will be used for a project in my university. It is a non-profit project. Thanks :)
Hello Michael, in your creature picture (6.10 min), i can see a biker with his helmet just under the left eye of the creature. We can clearly see the head, the body, arms ans legs. He has a "Spiderman position" when he's fixed on a wall ! Can you see him ? Thanks a lot for this vidéo ! Have a nice day !
It's Sauron as he sees himself in the mirror
You've heard that before i know but you're the best landscape photographer on TH-cam along with Adam Gibbs and Mads Peter Iversen coming in third place just because he does sky replacements that i think it's aweful for him. He really knows how to shoot but he keeps relying on switching skies all the time when the weather conditions doesn't fit him. He really shouldn't and he should just keep looking out for compositions that are real and not fake... Since you don't do it and Adam doesn't do it either Mads is a less landscape photographer to my eyes but indeed one of the most capable ones out there...
Where do you have that BS from that "Mads does sky replacements"??
@@christophmunch4796 Well you seem not be a subscriber to his channel or know as much as i know about him. I follow his channel and i have watched almost all of his videos. He does it all the time. Lol
@@zampination Dude, firstly I also watch all his videos, secondly there is NO instance where he tells anything about that he exchanged a sky. You are a liar.
