- Seven easy photography tips I wish I knew earlier. In this video, I share some tips and thoughts I've learned while doing photography. As my friend and colleague, Nigel Danson has already shared his seven tips he wish he knew earlier I'll share my own seven tips. I hope you learn something and don't do the mistakes I did. This video is aimed at beginners, but advanced photographers might be able to take one or two tips out of the video for making better photos.

This is one of my favorite of all your videos! My grandfather, Lee Blodget, was one of the first photography students of Ansel Adams' back in the 1940's at the School of Fine Arts in San Francisco. I spent my summers working with him in his darkroom. He told me that he constantly found himself defending his art. People today would be shocked to see how much manipulation was done in the dark room back in the early days of photography. Moons were added, distractions removed, facial imperfections removed, skies enhanced, you name it! Grandpa had an array of custom made tools to aid in manipulation under the enlarger. All techniques he learned from Ansel himself. Keep up the good work Mr. Iversen. Your catalog is stunning!
Wow, moons were even added? :D But yeah, I bet a lot of editing was done :)
Sound advice, especially shooting for yourself. Love the images, lots of drama.
Thank you very much, Adam! Greatly appreciated :)
AMAZING - So much fantastic info in a short video. Thank you Mads for sharing your hard earned experiences with us - Top notch!
This is the first time I see you videos but I do follow you on IG. Thanks a lot for sharing the tips. You are a great motivation and guide for other photographers that starting in this journey.
Thanks so much, Mads, for your practical tips. Your wisdom gives one much to think about. I look forward to your videos.
Like always very educational and full of wisdom. The pictures in this video are stunning, like how you used them to explain everything ! Thank you Mads !!!!
Thanks so much for these useful tips and the stunning images you have used for illustration.
Your images are incredible. What a pleasure to see so many in one vlog! Looking forward to more. Thanks
Great video Mads and 7 to tips which are so true. Stunning images as usual. Thanks for sharing.
These are all valuable tips and your photographs are outstanding. Thank you for this excellent video.
I do really love your images,your style and THANK YOU...!!! for sharing your knowledge with all of us.
I dearly needed a dose of inspiration, and your presentation of beautiful images along with solid, sound advice brought steadiness into my life that was felt for days.
Thanks for such a great video. So much insightful stuff goes into your videos! Very grateful.
I have to say some of the scenes in this video are staggeringly beautiful, excellent instructional video but my jaw drops every time I see some of the locations you go to.
Excellent video Mads!! By just wachting your video's(and many other's) in the last year, I have learned so much. Thanks for that👍👍
Thank you, Mads. Such great advice and wonder images!
Mads - Thank you! Yet another really excellent video with great tips, illustrated with your beautiful photos. Very much appreciated!
Very inspirational - thanks a lot, Mads!
Excellent and precious advice. Many thanks.
Thank you Mads for this
Just discovered your channel and I am loving your tips for landscapes. Your photos are so dramatic that it makes me want to see these places.
This is one of your BEST videos! Very Instructional! Awesome examples and detailed descriptions! Thanks!
Thank you for helping me become a better photographer. Love your photos.
“It’s not importent to learn the ruls, but it’s importent to learn how to break them”! That’s one for the harddrive between my ears! Very good vlog with you own examples. Thnx Mads
I agree, The MOST difficult photo to shoot is the first one of each day! That means getting up and out to a location
to begin creating.
Thanks for this great lesson of photogrqphie! Fantastic pictures and post processing. Really gave me the wish to go ahead!
Beautifully created and presented. Lots to take away, mull over, and incorporate into my own work. Thank you for the time and effort it took you to post this video.
Thanks for sharing awesome tips.
Excellent advice...fantastic photos...wonderful background music! This video was really worth watching!👌
I stumbled on your videos a while ago, and am reminded every time I come back to one why you're one of my absolute favorite photography vloggers. I love your understated delivery that skips vocal drama and just gets to the meat of the subject and lays it out. Thanks for what you do!
totally agree
Love your videos, your approach, your attitude toward photography as a personal expression of our own art and the experience you pass on.
Rules are not rules rather a general and helpful guide.
Any 'art form' simply cannot be formulaic.
Thank you for sharing, those of us just starting out with landscape photgraphy appreciate the altruism of your approach.
Excellent tips and very inspirational too, your enthusiasm is infectious. Top notch!
This is probably your best video 'till now ... and ... I totally agree with your 7th tip (with the 6 others too) ... as I'm living on the Belgian coast and bad weather gives the most dramatic and meaningfull photos ... thanks again for this kind of video.
Great video and really good tips Mads with outstanding photo's !
Love you're post processing work
Thank you very much Mads for this video. I agree with your tips and explanation for 100% and I am looking forward to learn from you a lot during our workshop on the Faroe islands.
Not long discovered your channel and I love the way you explain things it makes it easier to understand 👍
Mads, I have been aware of you for some time but this is the first time I have spent some time on your channel and I will definitely be back many times. I so agree with your thoughts on Landscape photography and composition. I really enjoyed this video, well done.
Thanks for your video and encouraging me to step away from the fundamentals to create my own landscape perspective.
Good tips and great pictures, thanks!
I greatly appreciate the problem solving discussion and optimal as opposed to perfect settings
Thank you for your spiritual approach to photography. Your words have elevated me and made me want to improve my work.
Great great tips. I also watched many many episodes of the Grid and got to the point where I knew what they were going to say about a critique.
Great advice Mads.
Great video! I learned a lot from those image critiques on the Grid too! Kelby One was a great resource for me early on in learning photography
another fantastic video
Great work! Thanks for the tips!
Thanks Mads, inspirational and educational as always.
Another really enjoyable video Mads and as always some stunning images to compliment your explanations 👍
Well said and presented .... , Thank you.
Whenever I read about basic tips, it's always the same, as you also mention in your video. I love that you talk about the basic rules with much more of an intent on how to use them properly. The photos you show give away that you truly understood what you are talking about. Great work!
Thank you very much, Kilian :)
Thanks Mads you explain everything perfect for newbie like me 👍
Great tips that make sense. Rules can only carry one so far. Amazing images!
Great information and tip!
Great video and loved the part about the rule of thirds and composition. You are right I joined a photography club a few years ago and we have a monthly photo contest on different themes with judges. It is great to hear what the judges say and you start thinking like that in taking pictures.
Yes, sharing thoughts are really the best way to learn :)
An excellent look back over many of your fantastic images Mads and when you said you only have being doing photography for 7 years, it really is testament to your talent when you see the stunning array of images you have shared in this and past episodes. By far one of the most inspirational channels on UA-cam
Thank you SO much, Jim! I don't know how to warry my thanks anymore ;)
Great stuff again, Mads! Really enjoyed your thoughts about composition and bad weather, which you have med me see as an opportunity.
The sliding drone-clip with Tindholmur in the background at 11 minutes. Just wow.
And drone flying over slow waves rolling in over s beach in Iceland at 16 min. Anorher wow.
NiklasKrog i agree that was an awesome drone shot.
Really great video Mads👍
Hi Mads, as you might have surmised, I have become a devoted fan of your channel. Your insights are so clearly presented that I have started taking quick notes for later review. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Mads. Another informative video and wonderful photographs. I’m looking forward to a photo workshop in the Grand Canyon, USA in a few weeks. Rafting down the colorado river for 6 days and doing some night photography. I’m taking your tips with me!
Great video. Thank you.
Good stuff Mads, and great drone footage too. It wasn't like that in Glencoe last Tuesday, but there were some great opportunities thanks to the rotten weather - as you say, it gives a whole different slant on a location. Really like that early Iceland pano - didn't know it was a pano!
Love your photos
Loving these Mads! Keep it up!
I enjoy your videos, nicely done Mads. Great examples too. I particularly like the part about how we don't have to obey composition "rules". Do what works, not what may work sometimes.
Peter while I agree with surrounding yourself with people, I also agree with watching videos. I have progressed through my hobby a lot thanks to youtubers that post videos on tutorials or just amazing inspirational captures. You are one of those youtubers. Thank you!
Great video, buddy! And exactly my opinion, too! ...and it’s just fun to see what a stunning portfolio you have collected!
Thanks as always, Kai! I'm really happy about my photos :)
Nice one Mads, great use of your images to show what you mean.
Mads. You have changed my way to look at photography. What you just mention is exactly my feeling, but I was really afraid to fall out of the “photographers’ rules”. Great video.
So happy to hear that! It just doesn't make much sense to talk about rules :)
Wow, I want to be as good as you. I am so inspired. Thanks
You are a very good instructor as you are a photographer - very down to earth and practical lessons.
Thanks a lot, Paul! Means a lot :)
Fantastic advice, that makes perfect common sense! I always found the recommendation for "optimal settings", rule of thirds, proper compositions, seemed to go against the grain of artistic freedom that a fine art landscape photographer uses. Keep it up!
these are truly the best photography advice one can give! I never thought about it, but problem solving is actually best way to describe what photographers do... and everyone gets a different result, that's creativity :) I also liked the tip that you can't do it alone... never heard it from other youtubers that make tutorials! thanks for another helpful video :)
great lessons and totally agree with point 5
Brilliant, Mads, thank you! I do a fair amount of manipulation in my photos when needed, and go for creative art photography over realistic representation.
Yet another highly useful and informative video. Thank you so much for your work and instruction. It's inspirational.
Thanks a lot, John! :)
Thanks as always Mads. Great tips and superb images, what's not to like???
Lovely trips, thanks Mads.
Your photos and videos are amazing. Actually beyond amazing. The detailed information is priceless. Thank you for sharing. I’m thrilled I found you. I ordered a 70-200 f4 yesterday thanks to your videos. You rock!
You're very welcome! I hope you used the links I have in the description? ;)
Wonderful tips, thank you!! 👍
Great video. I can definitely relate to the point about composition. I've always been struggling with the most optimal/best/perfect composition. I find this the hardest of all about photography... I do often subconsciously try and force a composition. But after watching your earlier videos I've become aware of this annoying habit and try to steer clear of it. It's really hard not to force a composition. I'm focusing on this problem and it helped me alot, but there's still alot of room for improvement😁👍 great and useful tips in this video. I'll definitely be even more aware of what makes a great photo.
Been following you on YT and FB for about an year or two. Your photos, tutorials and videos have Indeed helped me progress my landscape photography.
Did in fact plan my first trip to the Faroes in January and went there in March, at the same time you were with Nigel leading a workshop. I wasn't lucky enough to bump into you guys at one of the locations, though 😉😜 too many to choose from. 😂 Hopefully some day I'll join one of your workshops.
Keep up the great work 💪
De bedste hilsner fra Esbjerg,
Tim
Just excellent! Very helpfull, even for postprocessing my island-fotos one more time... Thanks from Germany
Excellent video real knowledge and wisdom thanks
Great video wonderful tips and shots.
Excellent advice, very well done video and I like your way to explain things, you are not in a hurry like many native English speakers seem to be. Keep going good work! Best from Finland
Very thoughtful and inspirational video. Much appreciated
Excellent and enjoyable. Many thanks.
Epic epic epic!!! Thank you
The Lone Tree. There are so many renditions of that image, many of them very nice. For me, the image you created was then, and is still, my favorite image of that iconic tree. It was a pleasant surprise to see it again. Thanks Mads.
Thank you very much, Frank! :)
A great video you make some good points which over the years I have come to realise for myself plus your photos are amazing.
It would be nice to see you do a processing breakdown on one of your photos I like the results you get very much.
Just found your videos which I rate as some of the best. Going to West coast Scotland in October and really looking forward to it as first time.
Thank you very much, Stuart!
I love it!, it was the kind of tips that I needed it! Regards from Costa Rica.
Really helpful Videos, Thank You!
Thank you for the excellent video Mads! I appreciate that you share your knowledge with everyone. I believe the most important idea you mentioned was the fact that each photographer must find and create images that are pleasing to the photographer who took them. Everyone will have their own opinion about a photograph, but if you are happy with it then nothing else matters. I have seen several famous UA-cam photographers who I believe created average images, but they were thrilled with the results. I think this is fine. However, once I made the "mistake" of sharing my honest thoughts about an image posted by a well known vlogger and the feedback I received was quite negative. Apparently, some people can only accept praise. In conclusion, I am continually impressed by your images and videos. I believe you are one of a small handful of photographers who present entertaining as well as educational content for all to see. Thanks again Mads.
Oh good is really amazing photos, I loved so very much congratulations
Amazing man!
I started with Scott and their critics in 2011-2012 ... and one day I predict a lot of things that they gonna say... they help me a lot to see a lot of things, work it's really important, learn a lot of my mistakes, and I hope to continue with other new mistakes!
Greetings from Uruguay
Two thumbs way up for this one.
Awesome!
Stunning photos and great advice I’m almost hoping for ‘bad’ weather next time I’m out now 👍
Fabulous.
Very educational video. I will take on board what you said about joining a group. I hope to join one of your workshops someday, pehaps in Iceland. Regards
Thanks for the video.
In my view it's nice, that all the different perspectives on landscape photography exist and it's up to you to chose yours. There is no need for justification as long as it's fine for you.
