Mads ! you bring tears to my eyes looking for some of this landscapes and thinking how beautiful the world is and how magical is some of your skills to capture it in the most brilliant way.
Thanks so much to share this kind of experience. I'm more video related, than photography, and I'm curious to know how you make all this car hood shots so stable. I'll be amazed to know how that mountains on background stay so stable on shots.
Thank you very much Tadeu! I'm so happy to hear that :)
In regard to the car hood it's actually very simple. I mount my GoPro on the hood, start recording (movie) and just drive. In post processing I just speed up the clip and add the warp stabilizer effect in Premiere Pro :)
I imagined that it was warp stabilizer from Premiere Pro, but your results are a lot better. Anyway, thanks so much for this reply !
Agree
Love that name, “devil’s golf course “. The salt flats were and sand dunes were cool. ❤❤❤
By skill alone, you are better than 90% of photographers here on UA-cam. Beautiful shots man.
Thank you very much! That's a huge compliment! :)
Death Valley is amazing.
One of the most spectacular parks you should visit when you get the chance is the Valley of Fire state park in Nevada. It's about 2 hours east of Vegas. Beyond stunning, red rock, slot canyons and more.
I must say very beautiful pics you are an artist. Death valley looks like another planet....Great work and amazing video. Respect
We are heading to Death Valley today, inspired by your beautiful pictures in this video. Thank you for sharing
Very nice photos and ideas. I am headed up there soon. After watching this, I can't wait!
Love Death Valley have visited several times. We fly to Vegas from Toronto, travel through Death Valley and then explore the Eastern Sierra's on the west side of DV. Especially spectacular in the fall.
I love this series from you.
Nice photography- you are a real artist.
Mads, dude that's close to brought a tear to my eye, In the UK for the last 3 =yrs we have had nothing but total crap every day about Brexit,Politicians etc,frikin etc !!!, I think alot of my countrymen have just forgotten what a stunning world we have, Thank you Mads,I'm out there April 2020 for a few days and after watching that,feel it will be a highlight of my trip. Liked and subbed my friend,be safe.
Also to the 11 who thumbs down this,get ur asses into a dark room and have a serious word with yourselves because there is a "special place in Hell" for anyone who cant relate positively to this video.
Haha, thanks a lot, Ed. Glad to hear you liked it. Be sure to watch my series from Britain. I'd argue it's even better than my US series :)
Beautiful photography 👍
Thanks for yr beautiful video and photographic works!
Death Valley is my absolute favourite national park in the US. It's massive and the landscape is simply gorgeous.
Yes! I feel the same :)
Visiting the park this Wednesday and Thursday. I could watch this episode over and over, I would never get tired of it. Super.
Was in death valley many times. Never been to this one. It's just to big place with little time. Thanks for awesome video. Now I have more places to go.
Great video! I loved your format.
I cant believe two people has disliked this. Beautiful video.
Thanks Jose! :) Yeah I don't know why that would be, but some people just don't like anything ;)
Or some people think that are better where are they we don’t see their stuff. Thanks. This is great vid
They dont like nature's
I guess I can think of some reasons unfortunately... Some people don't think that it's fair that people make composite images or blend things without giving away their workflow when they post on social media. People think it's dishonest and don't like it.
Einfach nur schön, thumbs up!!!
So very lovely. All of it.
That is an amazing video. The day night composites were just incredible
Oh~ composite ! That's how people get clean and bright foreground. Nice tip thank you! Thanks for uploading this beautiful. video!
Joowon you are very welcome :) That's one way to do it. Another is to stack the image to reduce noise ;)
Awesome video - thank you for all the info.
Excellent. Thank you.
Outstanding.
14:29 Absolutely stunning. Floored me.
Your best video so far, best images, little longer and one of my must visit spots for landscape photography. Thank you.
Thanks a bunch! Yeah I'm pretty happy (to say the least) with the overall product! :D
6:27 love it
Great set of images, really nice compositions and colors. Regards from 🇨🇱 Chile!
Thank you very much. I have links to everything in the description :)
Better weather than in the North West !!!!
Beautiful colors, i hope one day i could visit this place ! But you bring me there with your video !
Hehe yeah it was also warmer although still got pretty cold at night.
Those dune shots are phenomenal!
Thank you so much Chloe! :)
Mads, all of your work is superb! Keep it coming!
I’m going on a few weeks and can’t wait. Great video, and gorgeous images.
Good stuff Mads! Love the photos of the dunes. Thinking about taking a trip here soon.
cant help marvel at the beauty our world offers and with a great photographer such as you Mads enables so many people to revel in such beauty. A truly wonderful series of images from another epic episode
Thank you very much yet again ;)
Thank you for yet again another great video!!! Heading to Death Valley in just a couple weeks!
EDIT... Oh this is 5 years old. lol. Still a great video!
Your videos are very informative and inspiring. Keep up the excellent work!
phenomenal work!!!!!
Very informative video. Thanks for producing and sharing it.
am visiting the US in October, this was a very insightful video, i took notes and am vising this place for sure. thank you, you have a great content :)
Amazing!!
Mads, this video is phenomenal and very inspiring. I love all your photography and location guides. I hope you plan to come again to North America and create other guides in the future. Thank you and cheers from Seattle!
Just watched episode 1-11 with my girl friend! Really nice photos all the way through and well made videos! Thanks for sharing!
skarabaeus thanks a lot! I'm really happy you both enjoy the series! :)
Mads, you are one of the most inspiring landscape photographers that I follow! Your videos are always very informational and your Yosemite video was instrumental in my planning for my trip there last week. Thank you so much for your wonderful photos and videos!
Your photos are gorgeous! I will be there in December. Thank you for sharing all the great information.
Thank you so much for making this video. We are heading to DVNP in a few months time and have started to really nail down our itinerary, with landscape photography in mind. Great job!
Great video. Death Valley is one of the most facinating places on our earth. I had the opportunity to visit this place in the early spring of 2016, where the Valley was covered with beautiful blooming flowers. A great place to vist and photograph.
Thank you so much! This video is so informative, I will go visit the death valley during the mid of May.
Super shots.
DV is a wonderland.
Thanks a lot Brett! Yeah I'm definately going back!
Much respect man
Wonderful again. Missed death valley last summer (we were with a mobile home, which were not allowed in DV) but now I see I have a reason to return in a normal vehicle. Thanks for the tips Mads Peter!
You're welcome Ard. I think you should go in the winter period, summers can be insanely hot!
I love how you keep the most interesting locations and photos for the end, so while watching the excitement feeling grows and it doesn't feel boring at all, no matter the length of the video :)
I shared and recommended your videos in few groups, hope it helps :)
Thank you very much Nina! I appriciate it very much.
Yeah I hope to make the videos in a way I wouldn't find them boring myself ;)
Amazing
Loved it. Thank you for posting!
I'm happy you like it :)
Just an outstanding series!
Thank you very much Dave :)
beautiful images!! thanks for sharing Peter
Thanks and you're very welcome Jim :)
beautiful work. Im going in a few months, cant wait.
Thanks a lot Ronnie! Good luck :)
Love this! Great video and well made. It gave me a very good idea of how this area is. And those day/night composites were awesome.
Thanks so much Ole, I'm happy you liked both the video and pictures! :)
Wonderful video editing and stunning info/pictures Mads!!
Thank you Aritz! Very happy you liked it! :)
Really enjoyable collection of images and the techniques used to create them. Gathering as much info as possible before heading out for a month long motorcycle adventure touring/photography adventure. Thanks for sharing and love the "spot on" editing which snaps the images to the audio segments. Well done.
Thank you very much John! Yeah I have a background in sports with music, so editing video with music seems rather easy ;)
Good luck with your bike trip - sounds absolutely amazing!
Beautiful work.
Thanks a lot! :)
WOW! WOW!!! FANTASTIC!!! What a fantastic video!!! Thank you so much for sharing your journey, thank you so much for your travel and photography tips!! What incredible photos!!! Shared on my Facebook account!!!
Thank you so much Victor - happy you liked it and shared it :)
that's beautiful🖒 amazing work.
Thank you very much Ayesha!
I've never been a fan of composites but your day/night comps are very well done and communicate a special feel. Keep the videos coming. I've been using your Iceland videos to plan my trip there next week.
Thank you John, always nice to get such a compliment! And I'm happy the Iceland series work out :)
Super smukke fotos og vildt sted!
Thanks for sharing these videos. Very helpful planning trips
jpss90 you are very welcome :)
Wonderful video Peter and superb photos too. I visited the area in 2012 and this is a very good representation of the best locations.
Thanks a lot Steve! Happy, you can confirm! :)
Excellent video Mads. I've been there many times and you did a great job of showing the key points of the park. The photos were excellent too!
nevadaxtube thanks a bunch! :)
Bloody awesome mate !
Thanks a lot Aussie ;)
Great images and locations. I am surprised you do not have many more subscribers. You are a quality person and I admire your work. I feel guilty for living in California for 37 years and not really exploring the area. I have been inspired by your videos to do so.
Thank you very much Daniel! I have several theories to why I don't have more subs, but being as it is I have a huge engagement rating :)
Beautiful artwork as well as your viewbug gallery that you have, especially your meteor crater panoramic shot!
Thanks a lot William! :) Much Appreciated :)
Mads: Brilliant! I'm planning a road trip to California and just wanted to see some spots to visit. Your video is fabulous, and I'm now a subscriber. Can't wait to see your other works :) Showing your camera settings is very helpful...I'm an amateur photographer. Thank you very much.
Thanks a lot, Tim! :)
Great job again Mads
Thanks a lot! Much appreciated :)
Thanks for this. Your Badwater Basin Astro panorama is awesome!
You are very welcome and thanks a lot! :)
Wow, great report, thanks
Thanks a lot Alexander :)
I love Death Valley! I've camped there several times. You can get to Eureka Dunes fairly easily by taking the hwy to Lone Pine CA, and attacking it from the north western side of the park; from there the roads are good (for gravel, that is) and not too bad.
Really awsome pictures!
Thank you very much, Paul :)
Thank you for your great video and I agree completely, Death Valley is very intoxicating! We were there many years ago and are trying to plan a return trip in the near future. It is the lowest spot below sea level in the western hemisphere and the second lowest spot on the planet. It makes for a great night photography location as well, and you certainly demonstrated that!
Thank you very much John! I think you should get back as fast as possible! :D
I am speechless. This channel is absolutly great. Keep it up please :D
hehe thanks Marius, I sure will :)
Thank you for the super informative report about DV! Love to visit there, soon.....
Thanks a lot Craig! Happy you liekd it :)
Great video Mads! I'm planning a 10 day Death Valley and Yosemite photography trip in January. Your videos have been EXTREMELY helpful in my research. I really like that you explain and share location and how to navigate some of the locations. I totally understand some photographers not wanting to share due to bringing too much traffic to the location, but often it helps us up and coming folks to get a little education. Thanks!!
how was it?
amazing stuff. going to head over there this weekend
MistaKimsta thanks! I wish I could go back "just like that" :)
That was a very good video. Going to DV in March with my Nikon. I've been doing my research on the sites in the park. You've given me a good head start.
Same here, going beginning of March
Great work Mads!
Thanks Zach! :)
Gotta go here
Your work is very inspiring..
Thanks a lot :)
Great video, heading there in a few days.
Thanks! Good luck :)
just like you i didnt really expect a whole lot from DV but it surely has outdone itself!! one of my fav NP
Andy Vu exactly! A huge surprise. I so want to go back :)
Great captures ! this place is by far one of my favorite national park in California, I also suggest you to visit the Ubehebe Crater next time, you will love it ;-) cheers
Thank a lot and thanks for borrowing the picture! Yeah I'd love to go with a bigger car and check out the rest of the park :)
such an informational video thank you so much, I actually want to shoot at the dunes at night to get the stars. is it fairly simple to find your way back to the parking lot?
In the 90:s Iwas there driving my rental car in the middle of the night in 120 km. an hour the road was absolutely straight and no traffic at all at the radio Patsy Cline sang I fall to pieces
it was magic!!
Sten Bladh those strong memories makes us who we are! :)
Thanks for your comment Mads I have beeing in Death Valley two times and I like to go one more time rent a car and sleep in the backseat I do this in the 90.s for two manths.
Sten Bladh what are you waiting for?optimize your happiness! :)
Great work!
Walter F. Verburgt thanks :)
superbes vidéos très intéressantes... félicitation ! j'aime beaucoup !
I think a "thank you" is appropriate :)
Great video--makes me want to go back to Death Valley (have not been in years!)
It's just about getting out there! :)
Magnificent! I particularly liked the salt flats close-ups. Have you done a video on your process to combine landscape and star images?
Thank you so much, Kevin. I'm just about to finish one for purchase. If you subscribe to my newsletter I'll inform you in the near future. There's a link in the description of my videos :)
Great video Mads. What would you recommend the best month to see the milky way in DV?
Awesome... a place for the bucket list
And you have a great 500px page :)
Great video Mads! I am heading to DVNP at the end of January, and your tips will really help. One question, though... When out exploring the dunes or, say, Badwater basin - particularly at night - did you feel the need to carry a GPS in order to find your way out? Or is it pretty easy to keep your bearings without? Thanks in advance for any insight you can offer.
Hi Mads, these are amazing photos and great video you have made. One question, I have an opportunity to be there for maybe just half of a day. I will be in a conference in Nov and can only drive there for few hours. Can you help narrow 2-3 places that I can shoot landscape photos. It seems to me the sand dunes are the place you would recommend for sunset photos, right? also, if I go there in mid Nov, when is a time to shoot milky way?
