At the end of the day it all depends on being ‘out there’ as much as you can. If you are not out you will not get any photos regardless of what ‘gear’ you may have. And the changing seasons offer more opportunities too. Very helpful video!
Hi Mads, a lot of tips at a time, all very good explained,. But every tip is resulting from long learning process and experiencing a lot. The most important tip is being somewhere at the right time. Knowing your home environment or exploring it in different seasons and light conditions. So it implies a form af alertness and preparing, but also of observing the elements of potential interesting scenes. Subsequently good shooting techniques, knowing or experimenting with compositional tools and settings, followed by good editing techniques, Alt together a very complex task. Going out and learning to see compositions and interesting scenes is proven to be the best starting point of finding good locations. Making some boring photo's is not a problem, it helps me learning to 'see something' in the landscape that is definitly not boring and use ther right techniques from the examples you demonstrated. I definitely will profit from your tips, planning more shootdays and chances to return home with impactful shots. Thanks Mads for inspiring me again, Bert.
@ well I did years ago, now it’s just repeating the same thing over and over from different angles, different light, but it’s still the same thing and very boring.
This is actually true. A lot of the old landscape photographers used to recommend a cheap camera and cheap lens if it meant saving money to travel. Good photos can be taken in boring places.. but it's definitely easier with beautiful views.
You are a fantastic teacher. You explained the concepts in such an understandable way. I would love to have the money to attend one of your workshops. It is definitely going on my bucket list!
it's really true that the photographer sees things that "normal" people don't see. people see that a photo is beautiful but don't know why. we know it right? 😉
Love these types of videos Mads, as not only is there always learning to take away, the opportunity to see your stunning images to emphasise your points is a real pleasure
Hi Mads. So when I'm out taking landscape photos of trees because it's Autumn I do find it hard to find a composition but I do capture the lovely colors of autumn. Colin,
I recently saw a video where they explained why Steven Spielberg preferred normal lenses to record the movie Jurassic Park and not wide lenses to give that sense of reality to the shots
Another great video, thank you. I find editing has really helped. I used to get so frustrated as I’d see something amazing, but my photos never looked how I saw the scene. I recently started to be able to make my pics look how I saw the scene, but my friend who was there with me looking at the same thing said that that was not how it looked. Apparently, I see things in a fantasy land 🤣 but at least I am starting to be able to make my pictures reflect how I see the world. Isn’t that what art is about?
It sure is! I think many people are used to seeing auto-exposed photos from their phones or cameras so despite having amazing conditions they’ve gotten used to seeing boring photos ;)
I find that many photographers over process their images to make the scene look more incredible than it actually was. For likes and comments of course. Those are the ones I find most boring and the ones I ignore. Ones that are most bothersome are scenes with the milky Way. It did not look like that, man, lol.

My photos are boring because I live in a boring place with boring landscapes and can’t afford to go anywhere else.
I don’t think it matters where you live, you can always make something interesting out of it.

@@hughjohns9110ofc, let me make something interesting out of the brick wall thats near my house.
This dudes portfolio in Denmark is amazing, and it is not a particularly interesting place for landscape photography

Mads, this is one of your best videos ever. The attention you put into selecting the examples shines through.
Thank you so very much, Steve 🙏
Great video Mads. Shows your depth of knowledge. Thanks for sharing so many tips. 😊
Yet ANOTHER very informative video from you Mads. I learned so much just from this. Many thanks & keep up the good work.
