I personally enjoy these "process videos" that capture something of the creative process we all go through and have to struggle with. Thank you for enlightening us with your knowledge of the genre. I have found it extremely useful.
Exquisite photographs... every single one of them! I appreciate all the tips too - I am slowly learning to take more time to consider the composition before pressing the shutter - and one lesson gere is that I simply need to go out photographing on my own, no one else tagging along!
Beautiful shots! Often, people have different opinions on the same photos, so well composed shots are the ultimate goal. Thanks for being out and creating fresh content and demonstrating why different focal lengths bring different results.
14:45 I think is an important tip (not so much the art part, but about filling the frame). Sometimes you do want to show the whole scene, but often times you will want to also fill the frame in some cases. I've seen shots where people were simply lazy or they didn't know and they didn't fill the frame enough and this to me is a bit of a bad composition. But with that, you also want to make it apparent that where you cropped (wherever that is) by filling the frame, was intentional, and not coincidential or accidental, so for example, clipping off branches on one side, or filling the frame just so that the tree barely fits within the frame, which may not work, and so you either should zoom out a little to give the tree space, or zoom in intentionally and crop out parts of the tree -with intention -- for a strong composition. Some of my favorite photographs that I've done are about part of a scene, not necessarily the entire scene itself (so taking a piece of a grand landscape vista, versus the whole thing with a wide angle lens). What I try to do is take an overall shot (with care about light and composition of course) and then once I take one or a few of those, then I will start to zoom into various sections and work on details, because I think by having a variety of shots from one location (both wide and zoomed in/filling the frame) gives you different perspectives and variety of a particular scene. I also do this because I found that I was mostly getting ultra-wide shots, and while they can be compelling, if that's all you shoot it can sometimes get boring (unless that's your preferred style, but for me, I like a bit of variety).
Great video and value to improve our landscapes photos. Depth, Layers, foreground and so on. I don't miss your videos every Wednesday and I can attest that they are really inspiring and recommendable for those who love this kind of phorography. Thanks a lot Mads.
Hi Mads, Your explanation of compositions using different lenses and focal length is brilliant and an inspiration to everyone. Fantastic image's as usual.
Beautiful images Mads, the heather and the silver birch really combine well in the foggy conditions. Setting a goal is definitely a good approach and if its part of a project then you can have a number of goals/milestones built into the project to give a sense of purpose of getting out with the camera
Very good video again, Mads. And congratulations for bypassing the 200k subscribers. For a specialized channel like yours that’s a great achievement. Now on to 300k 💪
The clothing tip isn't to be underestimated. I've spent hours during winter feeling like my hands will fall off soon, because my gloves failed me, which doesn't really make you want to take your time to find the best shot possible.
Beautiful photography as always🤩 You’ve raised some good points and offered some helpful advice that I can use as I try to improve my filming. That is why I watch your channel👍
It costs nothing extra to take those shots your not sure on, it’s digital and you can always delete it on the computer. But there’s only regret if you don’t try anything. The rubber boots are a must in the damp areas. Thanks for sharing again Mads. Stay safe 🇦🇺
Nice work Mads . I’m still blown away by the results of the long lens in these scenes . The compression really brings out the three dimensionality of the scene !Your advice about making sure to always have a plan and just keep photographing is really important! Thanks 🙏 Cheers 😀
Awesome images and good advice to take into consideration at all times. Can I ask what arrangement you are using as an L-Bracket for portrait shots, I purchased a bracket, however it has a cutout for flip screen making it tricky to ensure it is clamped solidly in portrait mode on the Arca Swiss mount?
Beautiful images Mads.The images seem to take on a painterly effect, i.e a lot of texture. I've noticed that in some of my images although wasn't trying for that effect. How do you achieve that effect intentionally? or is it the fog that creates that illusion? Finally, how do you decide an image needs to be focus stacked?
appropriate clothing is huge. nothing worse than cutting a day short because of being unprepared! plus bad weather is usually promising conditions for a good photo
Cats in hot porridge is actually a Welsh delicacy 😋!! 😂 Happy to see I do these things too, does that make me a pro?! Probably not 😅 as for the artsy photos, I do try to visualise what the composition would look like hung on my wall, which I guess is similar
I am perplexed as to why you use such narrow (for landscape) apertures, in particular as, anyway, you seem to go for shots where the foregrounds are not in focus.

Beautiful scenes with the lovely combination of Heather in bloom , silver birch, and the fog to provide not just separation but an ethereal quality .
Inspirational as always Mads .........I am so envious of your heather and birch!
Great advice…as always! Thanks for taking me along!
Thanks
Thank you so very much, Anthony! 🙏🙏🙏
How to make something so simple into something so beautiful. I am hard pressed to pick a favourite. Thanks so much. 😍
Gorgeous shots as usual, the dreaminess of the scene is wonderful.
Thanks to you, we know exactly how beautiful nature is in Denmark.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

Great advice its so wasy to get carried away with trying to fit too much in

Such beautiful, peaceful images! Loved the content this morning. Excellent points for improvement.
Beaut shots with super advice. Thank you😁
Superb images. Interesting that most in portrait format??
Hi Mads,

Wow shots and great advice… as usual..
So great to see you compose these beautiful pictures, thank you for the tips! May I ask what lens(es) did you use in this video? Thank you so much!
Tamron 50-400 only, and thanks :)

Sort of like fishing. Timing is everything. Carry on.

💯beautiful!
Думаю, я единственный русский, который с удовольствием тебя смотрит и многому научился у тебя =) Спасибо, дружище!
Beautiful photographs Mads! Must try and use my zoom lens more to create images. Thanks for all the inspiration! 😀
In the US thw phrase is "Cat on a hot tin roof." In the olden days, tin was used on barns and farm houses.
It costs nothing extra to take those shots your not sure on, it’s digital and you can always delete it on the computer.
But there’s only regret if you don’t try anything. The rubber boots are a must in the damp areas.

Quite agree with the 3rd point! Our eyes and minds are very restricted. With more attempts we can take many unexpected photos.
That’s why I love screwing an IR filter to my rx10 m 4 I bomb on most photos but sometimes I surprise myself

I'm using the one from SmallRig right now :)
informative video.

Like a "cat on a hot tin roof" is the English saying Mads, but I love your interpretation.
Beautiful images. I wish you left more colour cast in the images to enhance the atmosphere
Wellies? You can buy those in Denmark? I thought you could only get gummistøvler?

12:39 - Good lord, the size of that mosquito on your head! What are you guys feeding those beasts over there? 😂
Dead sheep... 😬
Cats in hot porridge is actually a Welsh delicacy 😋!! 😂
Happy to see I do these things too, does that make me a pro?! Probably not 😅 as for the artsy photos, I do try to visualise what the composition would look like hung on my wall, which I guess is similar
Eating cats? Barbarian... 😅 you're totally a pro! 😁
At around 12:20 and beyond, there is a dancing T-Rex in the background, just to the right of your cheek.
Lol, now I can't unsee it 😅
Are you selling these photos on stocks?
Nope, they're only paying pennies so I do not bother.
Would also have loved to see the pictures out of camera, not only the "photoshopped" ones.
If you were printing your eBooks i would even buy them for double the price.

Ehhhb the thumbnail isn’t decisive
First comment 🤔
Congratulations! 🥳🏆
My first time ever being in first place so I'm glowing in this moment 😂
Awesome as usual.
