    Printing your own work is really the greatest reward. I finally got some metal prints of my favorites from NZ and now they’re mounted throughout our apartment. Makes me very happy every time I see them and really puts things in perspective. Seeing the physical location you shot turned back into a physical representation that went through all those digital, intangible steps is a special thing. It really motivates and allows a fresh perspective on one’s own photography.
    Great vid Mads!

    Can only look on longingly from here on the East Coast of Australia, our land is so old that the epic sites have all been ground down. Planes trains and automobiles may have been invented, what hasn't been is the money tree that would shower me in filthy lucre to enable trips to be taken to those wonderful sites you share.. Doesn't stop me watching your posts, saving up my pension money to buy your composition e-books, well worth every dollar by the way, and having pleasant dreams of visiting the sites you show and being young and fit enough to put myself in the shots. Maybe in my next life. 😄

      No way - we have many 'epic' locations on the East Coast of Australia - they may not be mountains but our coastline is just stunning. Not sure of course where you are (I'm on the Central Coast, NSW) - so much to offer here as well as north and south!

    Thank you for sharing your steps in creating epic landscape photographs.
    Also, I love the idea of printing out photographs into photobooks. I have been making them annually for the past 10 years. They are my archive of all the adventure and travel throughout the years, and also a record of my progress in photography. They are also an important reminder of how much I've done in the past.
    Once again, thank you for your kind sharing on how everyone can improve their landscape photography.

    You can have THE best lens, body, tripod, filters and everything else, but if you don't have the light, you won't get a good pic. Light alone doesn't make the photograph, but without it no one can - with it, and with the right ability, you can. Excellent video.

    Great tips! Especially the tip on weather. Seek out those bad weather / not clear sky days! Stunning video work through the mountains at 2:20. Truly spectacular. Learning how to use lens distortion and compression to your advantage, paired with good conditions, is a prime recipe for great images. Appreciate the editing insights too.

  • @billkipper3264
    @billkipper3264 Рік тому

    Great video Mads. No matter how long anyone has been shooting, videos like this one are educational and great reminders of good skills to employ. I really think dramatically emphasizing depth is a good thing and is about the only time I enjoy anything being puked out into my face. Thanks.

    Thank you Mads! I appreciate all you do help me take better photos and videos. I still can't believe how much time it takes me to create just one short video and you do this every week.
    I'm curious who inspires you to do such incredible work? Are there any other photographers, artists, or teachers that keep the creative flames burning?

    • @MadsPeterIversen
      @MadsPeterIversen  Рік тому

      Thank you, David! Yes, this specific video was a lot of extra work. All the small graphics and animations just take so much extra time and problem solving. There's a whole host of photographers who inspire me - too long of list - and it depends a bit on the specific work we're talking about. For video production it's basically the landscape photographers on UA-cam, but I also try to use ideas from non-landscape photographers :)

    I just captured some of my best landscapes of my life. The weather was incredible. Black clouds hovering over the mountains, clear skies of towards the ocean sunset surrounded by swirls that captured the colours, and wispy low clouds flying through the scene at a million miles an hour. I was sitting on the rocks laughing to myself the whole time. I usually only encounter exciting conditions when I'm looking out my backyard or driving to work.

    sleeping in the engine room of a ferry? you mean in the shared bed rooms in deck 2 of the Norröna? :D funny fact, I slept there despite having booked a normal cabin in an upper deck. But the sea was shaky and I couldn't handle sea sickness, and the stablest place on the boat by far was the deck 2 next to the engine room. So it was a good choice from you :D. To do epic photos, it is super easy, go to epic places (in europe : norway/dolomites/faroes/iceland...), do research to see where to go exactly there, chase epic moments (usually at sunrise or sunset, depends of the weather, which is lottery), stay as many days as possible, possibly months. Use a drone. Add a final epic touch on photoshop.

    I have just managed to find a Sony Zeiss 16-35 for my A99 and so can't wait for better weather to go out with it. I don't mind rain, but it has been a bit too wet recently! I don't have a 24-70, but I do have the Sigma 24-105 f/4 A lens, which is great. That together with my Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 or the Sony SSM 70-400 are my go to zooms.
    It is amazing what lurks in the shadows!

    Oh my gosh, I just watched your incredible video on taking epic landscape photos with any lens, and I am so excited! I love how you broke down all the elements needed to capture breathtaking shots. You are such an inspiration to so many photographers out there!
    Speaking of which, I've recently created a planner specifically designed for photographers, and I think it would be PERFECT for your viewers. I don't want to spam your comments, so I won't mention the name, but I would absolutely love to get in touch with you to discuss the possibility of collaborating. I believe that together we can help even more photographers to capture those amazing, impactful photos they've always dreamed of.

    Very informative video as usual. One thing I have always been curious about and hope you do a video about it sometime...you are a master at adding yourself in your images. This always adds to you images. The fact that you wear black instead of the "normal" red is perfect. You always stand out yet complement the photos and I am sure that is because of you wearing black. Your size in the image is very appropriate but I do not get a feel as to your distances from your camera. Also curious as to how you trigger the camera whether an app on your phone or some other remote release. It think this would be a great video.

      I agree. Well said Kerry. I've been curious about how Mads triggers the shots. I'm guessing some wireless trigger, or Sophie is there to push the button.

      Thanks for the very kind comment! It's actually the build-in intervalometer I use. I explain it in my video about shooting full manual or my epic selfie video :)
