Beautiful photography as usual, unfortunately disappointment is a big part of landscape photography but my philosophy is it always gives you a reason to come back to a location.
Yeah, the skill is making the best of what's in front of you, all the preparation in the world goes out the window when nature throws you a curve ball.
Absolutely beautiful work. That area is one of my most favorite places to see God's handiwork. Thanks for capturing it for those of us who cannot visit.
Excellent videos - I thoroughly enjoy them and always look forward to the next one - great information and excellent shots - the pictures from this last video are some of the best I have seen from this area - I hope you continue doing them for long time !!
discovered your channel from Nigel Danson, watching all your videos from the start, they are so good, love your photography, and your presentation style, good work, keep it up :)
Just found your channel and wanted to throw a compliment your way. Nicely presented, very high quality content here. Unique images, very inspiring! Looking forward to checking out your other episodes.
Beautiful images, Mads. As a Utah native I have visited this area many times but after I moved to the East coast I really began to appreciate its spectacular scenery.
Great photos! Great narrative! Great presentation! My son and I will be hiking/camping/photoing in Utah for 15 days mid-September. Planning to hit all 5 NPs. Thanks for sharing your amazing work, and I really appreciate the exif data you included.
Hello Mads. I had the awesome opportunity Oct. 2016 to capture many of the arches you described in the video where my newly purchased 10-18mm gave me some real "keepers". Love the way you deal with the situations beyond your control, and "make it work". A true pro, as to which, I draw inspiration. Thanks. JB
Mads, this is a place I know intimately. I've photographed Arches multiple times and each time there brings different compositions. The park just has so much to offer. Also, it is fairly close to Monument Valley to the south about three hours. Canyon lands, which I hope you did not miss, is basically "Across the street" from Arches. There is one park between Moab and Monument Valley that can offer up some amazing photographs. Gooseneck's state park. It is a strip of the San Juan river that winds its way southward and can offer up images almost as beautiful as horse shoe bend in AZ. Utah, is probably my favorite area so far of the U.S that I have had the chance to Photograph. I know I will be back there multiple times in the future. Great V-log as always. You are a true artist.
We did visit Canyonlands, but only for Mesa Arch and some viewpoints further south absolutely stunning! I would have loved to explore it more, but time didn't allow it. And I didn't know about Gooseneck's state park so missed that one, but wow it looks amazing! I really want to go back to Utah, it's absolutely stunning! :) And thanks a lot!
I've been watching your whole series Mads. Just stunning!!!! Especially seeing the photos you've made of places I myself have been to. Puts my photos to shame, but so inspiring. Now I have to go back. Keep up your incredible work, and thanks.
Great vlog, and great images Mads! Super way to turn lemons into lemonade! I was just at Arches this past weekend and can't wait to see what I got when I get home!
Always a great attitude (especially for a landscape photographer)! And, BTW, Arches is currently closed 7pm to 7am Sunday through Thursday, so I only had one night (of my 2 in town) to shoot there. But I made the best of it. ;-)
Inspiring video. You do such a great job of combining the travel information with the photography, that almost every video you produce creates a desire to go to that location. I live in Utah, but have never been down to Arches. The time that I could go is during the summer, which doesn't seem ideal for photography. It is on our list to go see when I retire in a few years.
You should go! I'm SO jealous of all you Americans having this incredible landscape basically in your backyards. Arches is amazing! :) And thanks a lot in regard to the vlogs :)
Stunning images as always, Mads! Loved hearing your solution to capturing the "moonburst" at the arch, as well as your discussion of some of the failed attempts and "lemons" you were handed by the night sky and other factors. Really helps give some context and told a good story. Even though these locations are heavily photographed, you got some great and unique results! Can't wait to go there myself!
Greetings from Helsingør! :D Very thorough as always Mads! I greatly appreciate your videos, and the fact that you share the not-optimal conditions surrounding your adventures in photography. Thank you. :)
Really LOVE this channel and I know you don't 'normally' do tutorials BUT it is common for you to do 'Pano Stitching', would you do a video tutorial on how you do this? Compositions and Post.....
I can hear how proud you are of your moon-burst shot, haha.^^ And you should, amazing job! Arches NP is a place I missed due to time constraints but I certainly have to come back here. What a place... :o
Great vid. Any suggestion for an Arch to photograph on the eclipse day (21.08.17) ? Delicate Arch may be overcrowded as the sun should be on the same line behind the arch (if i'm doing well in Photopills :-) )
Great image of Landscape Arch Mads! Your videos make the destinations so appealing. I am saddened by this because these parks are already grossly overcrowded and they will certainly get more people now :) I have been to Arches many times and it is unique among the US national parks. Well done video. Light painting might be banned from Arches in 2018.
They have now banned light painting for commercial permit users at Arches which covers workshops as they charge money for the tours. So you weren't kidding when you said that pissed of a lot of photographers. Also Zion has done a similar ban in their park for commercial permit users (aka workshops) for the use of tripods. Apparently too many paths were being blocked.
Amazing location and your work is superb well done
You are very gifted Mads...thank you for sharing !
Your moon burst shot was crazy.
Educative, funny and full of outstanding pictures once again.
Thank you Aritz! :D
Amazing moon shot of that arch - your video made me want to shoot Arches at all times of the day!
Great content, Mads! I'm headed to Moab this fall for this first time - very much looking forward to it!
Wonderful series. I've been fortunate to have been to most but learned a great deal from you!
Beautiful photography as usual, unfortunately disappointment is a big part of landscape photography but my philosophy is it always gives you a reason to come back to a location.
Thanks a lot Joe - yeah you doesn't always get what you want, but I think adjusting is a beneficial skills to have :)
Yeah, the skill is making the best of what's in front of you, all the preparation in the world goes out the window when nature throws you a curve ball.
Great video. Thanks for including the camera settings. Heading there in Oct.
Simply stunning images Mads.
Thank you very much Mark!
Great description of the challenges.
Hi Mads, Another great video to watch combined with some cracking images, can,t wait for the next one! many thanks again, Ian
Thanks Ian, next one will be great too! :)
Loved your enthusiasm and attitude about all of the setbacks. Also amazing shots and explanations. Thank you
Dude you killed it !!!! I love the insights and your photos are killer.
Absolutely beautiful work. That area is one of my most favorite places to see God's handiwork. Thanks for capturing it for those of us who cannot visit.
Amazing images and another fantastic and informative video.
Thanks a lot David :)
Another great video Mads. It is another location on my bucket list. Photos are stunning!!
Thanks Dianne! Yeah you must go see Arches :)
Another great video. Really enjoyable as usual!
Thank you Francesco! :)
Excellent videos - I thoroughly enjoy them and always look forward to the next one - great information and excellent shots - the pictures from this last video are some of the best I have seen from this area - I hope you continue doing them for long time !!
Thanks a lot Harry! Means a lot since I've been there once and other people have been photographing this location their entire life! :O
discovered your channel from Nigel Danson, watching all your videos from the start, they are so good, love your photography, and your presentation style, good work, keep it up :)
Thank you so much, Mark! 😁👍
Great images Mads as always and some great video work. Looking forward to the next one

You are welcome Tom! Sounds like an amazing trip! Would love to do that too - but I'll go for a trip through Europe instead. Or parts of Europe :)

Thanks a lot John! Then you were there a couple of months before us :) was the weather hot?
We explored the Mighty Five national parks and Arches was last being the third week of October and the weather was perfect! High temps in the mid 70s.
I'm so not done with Utah that's for sure! I so wanna go back one day! :)
Very helpful. Many thanks for sharing
Nice work Mads! I've never been to this National Park but now it's on my list, thanks.
I'm happy to inspire and thanks a lot :)
Another wonderful and informative vid Mads.... thanks mate
Thanks a lot Jim! :)
Thoroughly enjoy your videos and they give me inspiration to get out and shoot! 👍🏻
Very nice to hear Dale! :)
Wonderful video and great images! Thank you Mads!

You are very welcome Mads. Your work is an inspiration.
Mads, I loved it :) great video, great photos (loved the bird photo) ;)
Thanks a lot Elma :)
I've been watching your whole series Mads. Just stunning!!!! Especially seeing the photos you've made of places I myself have been to. Puts my photos to shame, but so inspiring. Now I have to go back. Keep up your incredible work, and thanks.
Thank you so much Tricia! I'd love to go back ot the US one day too! :D
Mads your voice is outstanding I love it you got yourself a subscriber. I love it mate.
Hehe thanks a lot happy to hear that. It's always weird to hear your own voice on video. But I'm getting used to it ;)
We missed Arches last time through and it was already on the "got to get back to" list. Thanks for the shove.
You're welcome Theresa! :)
Great vlog, and great images Mads! Super way to turn lemons into lemonade! I was just at Arches this past weekend and can't wait to see what I got when I get home!
Sounds very nice Tony! Yeah I've stopped complaining about the situation and just uses it to my advantage :)
Always a great attitude (especially for a landscape photographer)! And, BTW, Arches is currently closed 7pm to 7am Sunday through Thursday, so I only had one night (of my 2 in town) to shoot there. But I made the best of it. ;-)
Excellent video! I am heading there for the first time this week, excited to see what I get and what I learn in the process.
I'm a bit jealous of you! :)
Yes amazing thanks for sharing my friend
You are very welcome Ann :)

Great stuff. I think Arches as well as some other National parks have implemented light painting bans.
Thanks Ryan, yeah people talk about it. Might very well be.

Thanks Jon! Yeah I hope my stories can teach a tip or two :)
Great work again, must planning to visit!
Thank you Dirk! You must indeed!
Great work Mads.
Thanks you Darren :)
Another great video mate....although they are making my bucket list grow faster than I can tick them off hahaha
Hehe yeah well, it's about making one long dedicated photography trip ;)
Another great video Mate....
Thanks a bunch! :)
Greetings from Helsingør! :D Very thorough as always Mads! I greatly appreciate your videos, and the fact that you share the not-optimal conditions surrounding your adventures in photography. Thank you. :)
Cheers Christian! :) Yeah I think that's a part of every journey, but it's just about using it to your benefit :) I'm happy you enjoy the videos :)
cool stuff! how long did you spend in the park in total? How long would you recommend?
Really LOVE this channel and I know you don't 'normally' do tutorials BUT it is common for you to do 'Pano Stitching', would you do a video tutorial on how you do this? Compositions and Post.....
Thanks a lot :) Yes at some point I will make a tutorial which people can buy :)
Great Video!
Thanks Maico :)
01:36 -- cool!
Wow 👍👍👍
I’ll be doing the whole circle, Bryce, Antelopes, Horseshoe, Mesa Verde, Arches, and Dinosaur next new moon (May). Thanks for the video
Oh wow - that sounds like a fantastic journey!
I can hear how proud you are of your moon-burst shot, haha.^^ And you should, amazing job!
Arches NP is a place I missed due to time constraints but I certainly have to come back here. What a place... :o
Haha yeah, it's that moment when you solve a problem on location and it works out :)
Great vid. Any suggestion for an Arch to photograph on the eclipse day (21.08.17) ? Delicate Arch may be overcrowded as the sun should be on the same line behind the arch (if i'm doing well in Photopills :-) )
Marc Schmittbuhl sorry no, not really... I haven't researched that much since I'm sadly not going to see the eclipse... :/

Thanks a lot! Yeah most nat parks seems very popular, but luckily most photographers go here when most tourists does not :)
Thanks a lot! Yeah most nat parks seems very popular, but luckily most photographers go here when most tourists does not :)
You should retail that lemonade you're making Mads - you'd make a fortune - great images! :)
Most definitely and thanks ;)
nice images!
Thanks a lot Alexandros :)

digitalinked yeah I've heard that too. I guess it's ok :)
when is the best month to shoot there? anybody?
Love your work, Mads, but I think you have just added $5k to the cost of my shoot list. ;-)... right... tickets to Utah.
Haha sounds good Jon! :D Those 5k is worth it ;)
