The SHUTTER SPEED mistake I see all beginners do...
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- Shutter speed is a funny thing, long exposures are even funnier, you either love them or hate them. In this video, I visit the largest waterfall in the Faroe Islands, Fossa, where I take a few different photos from the upper plateau. I also explain my approach to shutter speed, what mistake I always made when I began as a landscape photographer, and how I prefer my long exposures to be these days.

I like long exposure. They are calm, peaceful, dreamy.
Feels like an offense to call them a mistake.
Exactly, there is no right or wrong in photography
It's art. Nothing is off limits.
Take the pictures you like.
Me too. I like long exposure. My longest exposure time until now was half a year at photopaper.
It's just a tag line to hook new photographers I think. I hope he is not telling us his way is the 'right' way!
The orange jacket wins all the time. More importantly we need to know - who is the best model... comments below! ha ha Great video Mads... Mine will be out on Sunday....
And 'technically' the shot of you on the waterfall is mine... The person who pressed the shutter caught the shot... ;)
@@NigelDanson I so wish UA-cam allowed me to answer with a .gif! xD
2 of my favourite UA-cam people in one video !! Great video Mads and I look forward to yours Nigel. Now lol you both talk about using models or items, trees etc and leading lines to create interest draw the eye in. The orange jacket drew my eye in and the scenery highlighted a really powerful location. I thought the orange worked better, you 2 can argue over the hottest model though 😂
Pfff, I easily win that! 🤣
@@MadsPeterIversen 😂
Mads and Nigel are two of my favorite photographers. What fun it is to see them together in this video! Thanks to both of you for all of the beautiful photos and photography teaching that you share with us!
Thank you for such kind words, William! :)
@@MadsPeterIversen Things have to be said ....
I've just recently subscribed and bought your Landscape Composition course, your videos and your course are very helpful! I am planning for a trip to Iceland early 2022 and some of your explanations in the course as well as your videos, such as this one, greatly helped me to be more aware of many things in my landscape photography that I haven't paid attention before. Thank you, Mads! 😊
My two favorite UA-cam photographer educators at one place at one time, so cool!! Great video sir!
My favorite is the man in the orange jacket. He is an eye catcher! The landscape too, of course! Nice composition!
What you call a mistake others might call personal preference - as with anything of this nature it's all subjective. I've personally used a wide variety of shutter speeds for water and found different speeds work better depending on the circumstances, I therefore disagree that a particular range of speeds is wrong or a mistake. It's like the classic example of asking for feedback on a photography forum, 50% will tell you one thing and 50% the complete opposite depending on preference.....
I am going to watch this when I get home so my falls pictures will get better this summer. Thanks for the great video
I see the first tripod position and I think "wow, crazy daring!", then I see the second one and I know you are lol! Thanks for sharing!
Great video Mads and wonderful images. Nerves were gone watching where you were set up for that second shot, had flashbacks to the movie "the Mission" and was just waiting for Nigel to pull out his oboe! Stay safe man
I guess I have to watch that movie! :) I am super careful, don't worry :)
Those first two wide images, just stunning! The second is one of the most dramatic waterfall images I've seen in a long time ... but then I am going through a 'vertical wide angle foreground interest' phase at the moment 😅 Love your edits as always, will definitely be taking your Photoshop course once I've a bit more experience under my belt 👍🏻
Thanks a lot, Brendan! It is SO MUCH fun to make these kind of photos :)
Couldn't agree more Mads. Nothing worse than someone who's taken so much effort to get their shot and then either blown it out or blurred it into oblivion ignoring the beauty of the texture of the water.
Fantastic photos Mads. I am going off today photographing waterfalls so your tips will be very useful. Thanks.
Such stunning shots. Beautiful work!
I love the way you don't 'baby' your gear😁. It's refreshing to see. Very scenic place, makes me want to go out hillwalking!
Thank you Mads and Nigel.
I like the second shot of the waterfalls. The black and white shot at the end is really nice.
I look forward to all your videos and get so inspired! Thank you for your channel....
I was shooting waterfalls in Scotland recently and I was having to use different shutter speeds for different parts of the water but trying to change shutter speed but compensate by altering ISO and aperture to let the same amount of light through was a challenge. In some cases I would have had to crank the ISO up too high to get the texture I wanted on the main waterfall. I think the main thing I learnt from your video was I have to try not to play it so safe with height of my camera in the water. Yours seemed to be just on the edge of getting deluged! 😨😂
Fantastic composition, although a little nerve wrecking… I really love the one with you in, as it so dramatic and give a scale of the place…. And the different shutter speed is really coming to it right, way to often the main falls look way to calm, I like that yours give a sense of the drama of the place.
Thanks a lot, Mikkel, yes, that's what I am aiming for :)
Love that centered composition, Mads ! In case of waterfalls, a certain shutter speed is personally, but I also prefer the shutter speed in which you still can see some details in the water. As fas as composition, it goes to show that there are no rules, just that you know about the rules. I really like your videos, full of tips, stories and, of course, beautiful photos. Keep up the good work !!!
Definitely a great video. Sorry to have missed that workshop. I like the orange jacket.
Really enjoy the collaborative videos with my favourite photographers MPI, ND, JP
I love this video. When I see the lengths you go to to capture a shot it really inspires me to do something other than stand in the most common place and shoot. While I might not stand in the middle of a fast flowing river with my camera at my feet (!) I am being inspired to think about composition in a different way. I guess that's what being a photographer is all about. Thank you as always Mads.
props to this guy for going up the hill,set up the camera,went down and goes up in front of the camera,then came back again to get the camera😂😇
As always all your photos are amazing. But for me, the photo with the red jacket is a step above the rest, and yes even the one you're in. The bright jacket against all that black and white scene just looks so good to me
I've had an expensive polarizing filter stuck to an expensive red filter for years. Every once in a while I try to get them apart, then I just put them away again. It's very sad. Magnetic filters sound like the way to go! Great video.
Great video and advice. The going not for the faint-hearted! I agree with Nigel that the orange jacket adds a 'pop'. Only thing about combining a fast shutter for the big fall in the background with a slow shutter for the cataract in the foreground is that anyone used to doing these shots will see that there is a conflict going on between foreground and background. The two don't gel.
So incredible photos and location. Needless to say about your photography..amazing
🤩 💜🙏🏻
Since you asked so nicely, and you went through all the trouble, and I love your technique, plus you're artistically talented, I liked and subscribed. And this is my comment. And.... No more ands! Bravo!
Hehe, thanks a lot and welcome aboard :)
Very cool compositions with leading lines. Never thought to use multiple shutter speeds within the same photo. Thanks so much for the tip! Great work!!!
You are very welcome :)
Multiple shutter speeds within the same photo? How to?
Certainly looked a precarious position for that second image Mads but what an great image it was. Loved the two images of you and Nigel with the waterfall in the backdrop and foreground as it gave a excellent sense of perspective. By the looks of your IG stories you certainly were experiencing some epic light and hopefully see more from the Faroes trip
Thank you, Jim. Yes, many more photos will come for certain - I've got more than 5000 raw images to go through 😅
That position was downright dangerous ... He could easily have won a Darwin Award!
You took some very stunning photos of that waterfall they look awesome
LOVE the monochrome conversion!
You and Nigel risking life and limb for the shot and the video. 😲 👍🥂
Glad you're rediscovering monochrome. 70% of my shots are captured in monochrome, the abstraction it affords is compelling. Thank you for a short and very sweet upload. Hope you enjoyed the workshop.
Thanks a lot, Nicholas, yes, it was a great workshop. Nice guests and great light :)
Very nice Mads. I was there back in 2007. Wonderful place. Fantastisk!
As Always, entertaining and informative. Thank You Mads and love the Nigel Danson Collaboration!
You are welcome! :)
I very much liked the shot with Nigel up at the top, only to be outdone by the striking image with YOU as the subject.....;-). I'm not a fan at all of the smoothed out water effect as I haven't seen water like that in nature since a really bad bender in college. It's just not natural and my personal belief is it is the most overdone effect in recent years of photography. Water is dynamic and unless nature freezes it, I won't either. Great seeing both of you in the video. When traveling is easier across the pond I'd like to join you guys for a workshop one day. Thanks for risking life and limb for these great shots!
A tack sharp high shutter speed photo in my books is an excellent shot. Sharp, clear, detail laden photo, can't go wrong. For those that like sharpness throughout photo.
Wow my two favourite landscape teachers together!
Thank you ever so much! :)
Super nice photos, great professionalism.
Thanks for showing a BTS of your position for the compositions that you create, you’re certainly pushing the limits to create the images that you do.
I didn't know you had a landscape composition book out there! Just kidding, I just find it funny cause you mention it so often 😅
I loved them and I can only recommend them to everyone watching!
Looking forward to visiting the Faroe Islands soon, thank you (again) for your inspiration. You make the only waterfall pictures I don't find boring, rock on 😎
Hehe yeah, sadly the youtube algorithm works in a way that it kills my videos reach over time, so I never really get to make evergreen videos, which keeps promoting the ebooks, so I have to mention them in each video if I want to keep selling them :P Good luck in the Faroes :)
I love the photo with the orange jacket it creates a really dramatic scene for me. Fantastic video as always…wow what a location 👍
The red jacket is best in the first photo, and the black one in the second. There is a different ‘look’ in each one. Brilliant waterfall shots! 👍
Very enjoyable, great scenery and photos,preferred the colour version of the last image.
Photographers as models for one another! Cool video!
Mads, I was getting heart palpitations watching your camera and tripod in such flowing water. AMAZING B&W photo.
Haha, I was very careful, and thanks a lot :)
The version in Black and white is gorgeous!
I take that you do not suffer from vertigo and your life insurance is paid up? Great videos and willingness to share and educate. Cant wait to see Nigel's video from there. Both of you are the best on UA-cam as educators!
Love both pics at the end!!
Incredible images, Mads, and loved the one near the end with yours truly ‘posing’ in it. The blue jacket certainly gave a cool, moody feeling to the image.
Thanks a lot, Tony! :)
Love Nigel in the waterfall shot. Your videos are always so fun and inspiring. You visit the most amazing locations.
Brilliant - The photo of Nigel took my breath away.
Beautiful images and drone footage.
Fabulous, once I got over my nervousness about your camera position 👍
Absolutely stunning video Mads!! Faroe Islands is high up on my list. :)
Great work! What a beautiful place.
Truly wonderful pictures Mads. Thank you for taking us on your journey.
It is surprising that your tripod and camera are not moved downstream by the rushing water. Great video once again!
I have learned something. Thanks for that!
Gorgeous photos
Simply astounding photos. You are a master and I am beyond inspired. Your landscape educational materials are excellent and very understandable. Thanks for all you do.
Ups, YT didn't send me this notification 😬 Just came to check cause saw you on Nigel's video just now 😅 Great video (also finally subscribed to your IG's 😁 no idea why I didn't before🙈)
Brilliant work yet again mate! Watching you make me love photography even more!
Loved the video. Missed information on focal length and other settings.
Thank you for another quality video with great information contained within... It's only very recently that the ball has dropped with me regarding the shutter speed with moving water, covid lockdown will forever be remembered for me as the period where i have made most advances in technical ability... Great to see from yourself the impact that variable shutter speed makes to higher energy scenes like this... P.S. I think i prefer the darker coat, was out last week and managed to sport both a black and a red rain jacket it was that wet i had to change in the middle of the day
Love the shots!!! Thanks.
Very nice pics and perfect music.
Great Photos… so wonderful… 👍👍👍
Such great composition Mads in a beautiful location. Always good to see you and Nigel together, makes for great viewing and I’m enjoying your black and white images too!
I actually prefer the contrast from Nigel´s orange jacket for once. To me it brings more life into the scene, as opposed to the black jacket you wear Mads. Feel like you disappear a little more. Posing skills not considered though. 😉 Thanks for sharing your awesome pictures and videos. Hope you will come to Norway soon.
Should have know you were friends. Love both you boys. Your crazy and so talented.
beautiful scenes and great video as usual. My vote is for the red jacket. An
intriguing bright dot of colour in such an imposing scene
Beautiful as usual! I think I would 💩my pants if I was that close to the edge in the rushing water though! 😁I'm headed to Iceland in a few weeks as my wife is doing a poetry workshop there and I get to wanter around while she is busy! Hopefully I can put some of your lessons to practice while I'm there!!
Good job, really nice pictures. The contrast from colored clothes is usually good, but this time I thought that the picture of you in darker clothes created a very good feeling. Once again, well done. All the best from north Sweden.
Great to see you two guys together on a workshop again and stunning waterfall shots Mads. As a relative beginner and someone who does not yet use LR or PS using different shutter speeds, focus stacking, exposure blending etc etc are all things I would love to experiment with but that’s for the not too distant future. It’s obvious from this Vlog the advantages of being able to do so with the images you have produced. On a recent trip to Iceland I just played with taking multiple shots of waterfalls at different shutter speeds to compare the results, it was a great learning curve. The ability to combine them in the same shot is very appealing 🤔 You win the model comp obviously, it’s your Vlog 😉 Look forward to Nigels
Way to go Mads! Love the new photos and looking forward to seeing more from this trip.
Simply LOVELY!
Wow, just look at that fantastic orange jacket😂😂
Thanks for passing on your knowledge and wow what a place that is!
Very well done and informative!
Stunning as always.
Love the image with Nigel posing; creates such a sense of scale.
Amazing job Mads. I was there 2 years ago and Fossa was the first waterfall I shot. Awesome place. I'll come back. Congrats!
What a beauty capture.
Mads love the shot with Nigel in it. Yes the shot with yourself is colder but for me the red jacket just works.
How did your tripod not fall? Jeez. I would be freaking out and holding it and taking the pics! Great video. New subscriber too!
When shooting running or falling water, 1/60 s gives you the most authentic impression of the water. To 'calm' the water, 1/4 s is a good choice, but if you want to capture reflexion on the water, 2 to 4 s will give you a great result. It also makes raindrops vanish from the water surface. Many Anglo-American landscape photographers, both professionals and enthusiasts, tend for long time exposure, which will kill the character of nature and create an unreal image.
Hello, Paul, I could not agree more ;-) And yes, Europeans _are_ different…
I wouldn't quite phrase it so definitively, buy I have to say I agree about long exposures. Those flows of water just look weird.
ohh my friend...when i see your camera ''in'' the water at tripod ,my heart drops to my feet!!!! to risky!!!!
Cheers from Greece!!!
The black and white conversion of I think it was the third shot was really great and unfortunately the orange jacket with that powerful waterfall🏆 but you guys are both winners lol great vid.
It's not a mistake if the photographer planned for their photo to look that way. I've been doing photography for over 40+ years, I have some that are done at 1/4 or 1/3 of a second and I have some that are done at 30 seconds and even several minutes. It all depends on what effect "I" want for my photograph. To say it's a mistake is false, it's your "Opinion", not fact. I could say that it's a beginners mistake taking a picture with yourself in the picture as well, as I don't like having people in my landscape pictures, but, that's my opinion. You do you.
Definitely going the extra mile to capture that angle with those waterfall shots Mads.
Glad you and your gear didn’t get washed over the edge.
B/W certainly adds great impact to these images.
Thanks for sharing again Mads.
Stay safe 🇦🇺
The red jacket rocks!
The orange jacket wins because it is framed against an almost black & white photo which provides a fabulous contrast. The contrasts that many photographers use Photoshop to get, except this one existed in reality!!! Anyone that can't recognize how good that is, is doomed for failure. No matter how good most of their suggestions are.
What amazing Scenery! Thank you, Mads!
Great video tutorial! Thanx!
Great trip, location, and challenges ( camera in a fast flowing river, standing on wet rocks on the edge of a water fall, weather sealing test..)
wish I could have joined the trip..
Your improved picture looks really beautiful.
