WHY is this Landscape Photography location not famous? | KÁLFSHAMARSVÍK | 4K

- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- Basalt rocks are some of the most fascinating and photogenic rocks in the world. They make landscape photography an absolute pleasure and can create some strong compositions. Kálfshamarsvík is loaded with basalt! The beautiful lighthouse works as a fantastic focal point for all the leading lines and repetitional patterns the basalt can make. In this episode, I explore this small cove and share how I find new locations to photograph. Kálfshamarsvík is definitely on the must-see list of Iceland. Kálfshamarsvík is neither secret nor hidden, but you will have to get off the beaten path to find it.

Breathtaking video, Mads! It must have been sublime being the only one there! Thanks for taking us there. I find your videos anxiety-relieving
It sure was a great experience :)
I don't think I have ever seen you quite this excited before. Beautiful location, even while watching the video I could see potential shots all over the place
Haha awesome! I'd say my video from Glencoe comes close :D
Leading Line Heaven...for sure. What a great location fine.
Those 42mps are soooooooooooo detailed!
Yes :) But less detailed than 50mp ;)
As is the case with your other videos, this video is a winner. Your enthusiasm for this place really comes through, and I can see why: What an awesome spot!
Stunning video beautiful selection of shots from such an amazing location 👍🏼
Incredibly awesome ! I can see how happy you were..such a beautiful land and superb photographs...
Beautiful Mads! Love your photography and description of the places you capture.
Definitely a lot more than the giants causeway. Looks way more impressive too. Great video as always Mads
Nice to see someone getting so excited about a location - I was afraid that if you grinned anymore the top of your head would fall off 😜. Looks like a fantastic place to visit. And thank you for reminding us the Iceland is not only the ‘iconic’ locations put has plenty to offer those prepared to look a little closer.
Haha it almost did pop off :P
I really did not see the potential of that place at first but you made some truly fine art photos. The photo at 1418 is really incredible. This is why I love your channel. Thanks!
Thanks a lot! Well, I see potential if I see basalt :D
Lovely video Mads. Living close to the Giants Causeway the similarities are remarkable. The main difference between the 2 really are the lack of crowds in Iceland.
wow that is truly a beautiful place!
and that drone footage is amazing
thanks for sharing this with us, really enjoyed watching this
Thank you so much! :)
By far more interesting then the giant couseway becouse. Great location. Thnx for sharring Mads. Another great video!
One of your best videos. Your enthusiasm shines through. Great
Thanks a lot, Mike. I'm very happy to hear that!
Went here last September under your recommendation. Had some wonderful shots. It was cloudy but decent light until the clouds lifted a bit and the sun peaked out from under and gave me a bright light. It was quite spectacular and a memory I will never forget. Thank you for recommending this basalt column Field.
Very good. This place is very impressiv. Yes there are on every country unknown location. WE must only open our eyes.
Very good image you take at this place. The last one is my personal winner, with the very good foreground and the beautiful colors in the sky.
nice location, I personally wouldn't visit it again but once to see definitely worth it
I've been to this location thanks to your video and it was ABSOLUTELY stunning! I had very dramatic sky instead of sunset and that was one of the greatest evenings in Iceland I had in my 3 months there! So I want to thank you for that! ✌️
Another inspiring video, Mads! Thank you for sharing spots like this. It looks truly amazing. Having been to the giant‘s causeway I believe you would be amazed of the atmosphere and beauty of the Irish landscape. Giving further thought; you need to go. With all the rugged coast and ruins of castles you would love Northern Ireland, i am 100 % sure
Come with me!! :D
Inspire they certainly do!! best RUclipsr, thank you, so inspiring Mads as always love your work
Awww, thank you so much, Rob! :)
The last scene of the video with the full moon next to the lighthouse might have made a great photo. The two point sources of light next to each other could be attractive.
Amazing location and it seems you had it to yourself. Beautiful shots.
There were a couple who came by during sunset. But I was the only photographer there :)
Thank youfor pointing out that place. I have driven past this place a few times and just looked at the lighthouse without knowing about the basalt columns (stuðlaberg) 😊
Who the hell is giving such excellent video a "thumbs down"?
Great video, impressions, tipps and pictures Mads, thank you for sharing this!
This was another great video......thanks for sharing.
Fantastic work Mads, I'll go there one day for sure!
Another location to add to the list!
Fabulous video Mads. I love your enthusiasm, thanks for the content and inspiration.
Man, you were like a squirrel at a peanut farm! Very entertaining video Mads! I kept thinking that there were some awesome B&W compositions while I was watching the video and you didn't disappoint but that first color image is a stunner. First rate video again Mads. You rock! Pun intended.
Haha thanks a lot, John! :D
stunning location and certainly not one I have ever seen before either
Mads I enjoy your videos so much. I like the instruction given but I also enjoy the very stunning scenery that you encounter. In just about all your videos I hate to see them end because they are just so beautiful to view. Thank you so much for all your hard work on these.
I was here this week! Nice spot off the beaten path for sure! Too bad the lighthouse was closed :)
Those are great pictures!
Beautiful. Sorry I missed it when I was there.
Talk about working a xcene! When I saw those rocks I made the most ridiculous noise....so gorgeous!! Without a doubt some of the most beautiful rock formations I have ever seen! Once again the information and knowledge you pass on is sssoooo appreciated!
I really appreciate the videos that you are posting up on RUclips. I think you are one of the few photographers on RUclips who is actually posting up instructional videos which is fantastic. I’m always looking for tips to improve my photography. Thanks!
You're very welcome! :) And I'm happy to hear that :)
Alan has put it perfectly. I am finding these very useful. I have been to Iceland this year and my partner and I have come to the realisation that we need to return due to your videos. This video is a perfect example of somewhere we missed but we’ve marked on our “old school” paper map for our next visit.
Seeing new locations is soo exciting. Thanks for sharing with all of us. I think you just openned the Pandora´s Box my friend ;)
With the views, I'm getting that'll never be the case :P
Well there goes my "secret" spot! Great video Mads and makes me want to go back there again. I was there in April/May (2017).... those rocks can get very slippery with a coating of ice under snow! It is a special place for sure.
I bet they can be very, very slippy with ice on!
Hey Mads. I've followed you for quite some time now and your videos... are just plain brilliant!
I liked the Mads in this one, your humour was awesome and i love (and know what you mean) when you say - "Right now... I need the world to Pause"! Awesome. Great to have your video stream again mate! I have just finished a recent youtube video on New Zealand and a famous mountain.
Like you, Photography is my inspiration to get out amongst it, witnessing the stuff, that most of us miss on account of hectic lives, and appreciate this planet in a way that only photography allows!
Keep up the great work mate.
Regards
Ewan
Thank you so much, Ewan! Yes, I've also witnessed incredible sceneries and lighting which I'd never have seen without photography. Also great video from you. That mountain is one of the main reasons I would like to visit New Zealand at some point :)
Well if you ever do - youll need to give me a shout!. It surely is an incredible place!
You really nailed it when you say that there's so much more to see in Iceland. Love your way of thinking and exploring ! Your enthusiasm is amusing to see and contagious !!! Thanks Mads !!!
Will be in Iceland with my daughter in August 2021 and this spot is definitely on my places to visit, beautiful lighthouse and compositions galore, I will try to do it justice 😉
Playing catch up with your videos, so just getting to the Iceland trips now and reviewing them. All beautiful. It was great to see your first as you started doing your videos and to see you get better and more relaxed from video one to the following year, you seemed much more at home. I love the Basalt rocks. I had the opportunity to visit Ireland a few years ago and see the Giants Causway. A must for anyone. It has some beautiful aspects, both locations are beautiful, I got some fantastic pictures, and the crashing sea against the rocks and the coast was spectacular. Beautiful pictures as usual Mads.
Just found your channel. Instantly subscribed. This is great, can't wait to see more.
Welcome aboard! :D
Thanks for presenting this location Mads, it's really amazing!
When there is a lot of snow, it's more challenging to work with the basalt, but even in winter I can really recommend visiting (have been there in march)
Great images Mads. Although I've not visited that part of Iceland, it does feature in an Icelandic crime novel I've just read - and the lighthouse is on the cover ('Whiteout' by Ragnar Jónasson)
Mads, I love the video and the location. I’m thinking of going this Saturday around 6:30. I should get some same light as you.
You were lucky with the tide as it was out. Hopefully I’ll get the same luck.
Your final pictures are beautiful. Thanks for all the Iceland videos. They are amazing. ❤
beautiful images mads
I realy want to see those landscapes once in my life.... Breathless!!
Having been to Iceland twice now I can tell you.... ONCE is not enough! You will get hooked! It is like a drug to your soul.
Great find!
HI Mads! Hitting the like button for your videos is always easy, commenting in a few sentences is far more difficult. The drone footage was very good, giving me a quite thrilling impression of this particular site, I must agree that it should be easy to find images of this area online. Your discussion of the compositions you worked always leaves me with a deeper understanding of the subject, thank you for that. Today's images were breathtaking (grossly understated). But for me, the passion you hold for this location was completely infectious and will spill into my day in a most productive and enjoyable way. So you get to be the star today. Sorry for the wordiness, but this is the condensed version...:-). Cheers from BC and thanks for sharing!
Hard to beat all the kind words, Gord, but thank you very much! :)
Your instagram comments of finding new locations is what I like to do.
Just getting off the main road is the way to find new and inspiring locations like this, your efforts produced some great images.
I discovered this place six years ago. This year I had the luck, after raining days, to take pictures of it in full light. I absolutely find this place very good. I have to change my kind of travelling, because I am going too quick and too far. My aim to visit the northern highlands of Iceland in three weeks was good, but when I see, what you Mads made of the places, i really have to take a motorhome instead of my own car, to have the possibility to come to the place and rest there. I know Iceland quite well, because i was there 16x. ( 4 time in Febraury). It is my land of dreams. Thank you for your special views with the drone.
You're welcome, Otto! And that is quite a lot of times. But it is fantastic! And yes, I find a motorhome to be invaluable in Iceland :)
I bought some stocks on this Icelandic Causeway, so pretty soon all of Instagram will be so full of these images I get fully loaded thanks to your promotion of this 'undisclosed' landscape ;-) I like your enthusiasm..... as they say in Sweden: T O P P E N :-)
+ incredible NICE pictures?! How do you experience the colour difference between Canon & Sony?
Thanks a lot, Dave. I don't see any difference at all. It's there but minor :)
Damn! That shot at 13:28 is amazeballs!
I am new to watching this channel and I very impressed with the content. I have been on a tourist tour holiday in Iceland and even with my limited access there is plenty to photograph.
I agree, great location. And I love all the photographs you took. Thank you for sharing with us.. :)
You're very welcome :)
It will be now!!
Another potential stop on the upcoming saga. Thanks. I have to believe that location has to have so much potential for a great aurora photo with a working lighthouse in the frame.
Exactly my thoughts ;)
@@MadsPeterIversen if I get one I will let you know.
watching this Mads, I was intrigued to see how you would compose this image as you had the old geological formations which were a bit random along with the uniformity of the lighthouse. In the end you done a fantastic job and captured the prevailing light beautifully
Thank you very much, Jim! I'm happy to hear that :)
Another amazing video Mads...we need to get you over to Ireland ASAP :-)
We need to make a go-fund-me page xD
spellbound Mads !
' The Giants Causeway of Iceland ' ... Spectacular place and photography. I live approx. 15 miles from the Causeway. Thank you, for sharing your knowledge and skills...
Mads,
Your perspective on a location is what makes it great! This location will certainly see a bit more traffic because of your amazing influence.
Your posts are truly about the journey!
Thank you for sharing!
Light houses are magical ! And those rocks add even more mystical ambiance. That was very cool thankyou
I was mesmerized by the basalt columns at Reynisfjara when I was in Iceland. Looks like you found another lovely place to visit!
Inspire you do...there are many many photographers but few ARTISTS with a lens...thanks for being the later...not a follower but someone who sees beyond the obvious as only true artists do....
Cannot believe l drove past this place on my way to Hvitserkur ! Unbelievable place, lovely images. Another great location Mads.
Thanks, Fred! I think you're excused if you don't know it's there ;)
Link to my 110+ locations Landscape Photography Map of Iceland: gum.co/icelandmap
So beautiful and rough - great shots and wonderful results!
Wow, a "Mads all over the place" video"! :) One is even closer to the action than usual, when you are running around like this. I think i finally have to get a giant Island Poster to mark all the spots you present. Keep it up! What about Senja next?
Great location, you show us that there are still amazing places out there without tourists on Iceland!! Love the B&W shot!!!
What a location and captured so well. Beautiful images,thank you for sharing and inspiring others. 😊
Those last two images are breathtaking, beautiful work Mads
Thank you Lloyd! :)
Great video, Mads, as ever, love the drone work. This probably *will* be plastered all over Instagram after this! Giant's Causeway is great too but you need the luck of the weather. Thanks again. I do look forward to your videos!! :-)
Hehe, with the view count I get on my videos I don't think I influence that many people ;) the young ones don't have the patience to watch such a long video ;)
As usual you find new location and really capture the essens of the scene. You blew my mind with your photos of so much basalt . I went to Island last year and did not see that place... too bad ...
The running paid off! Great timelapses. The last image and second to last are my favorites. Excellent work Mads. Always love starting my day watching your newest episode! I’ll certainly be making the journey here on my next trip to Iceland. 👍🏻
Thank you as always, Seth! I think that's a good plan :)
The last photo was stunning! Never seen this location before...looked like there were some pools of water that could have given you some great reflection shots too. As always....great video...thanks for the inspiration:)
Thank you again Mads, great location and lovely compositions. Your video are providing very helpful ideas on composition options and I also enjoyed your videos on landscape compositions.
Great find, Mads..... And some insanely good images from it too. Inspirational 👍
Hi Mads. Lovely video from a fabulous location. Love the images, especially the sunset shot at 13:55 - stunning ! Amazed that the location isn't well known in Iceland, but I guess it will be now ;). Many thanks for sharing Mads.
Haha. With the amount of views I get these days it'll hardly make a difference in tourism ;)
Excellent find, Mads, an intriguing spot! You'll just have to go back and take more time over the area.
Mads, I look forward to your videos every week. Truly inspiring the way you tell the story behind every photo. I was messaging Sean Bagshaw last week and asked if there would be and chance the two of you getting together. I would love to see what 2 world famous photographers can do together.
Would be awesome to connect with Sean and do a cooperation of some sorts :)
Excellent vid.
PS - I love F18, too. Haha.
Thanks for sharing. I wouldn't have known about this great photo location. Will be there in 2 weeks time :) Your photos and videos are amazing, inspiring and very educational. Keep up the great work.
Another corking location well found Mads, love the 1st shot.
Thanks a lot, Paul! :)
great video Mads! I can so much relate to "everything is now happening at once" LOL
Hehe yup, happen all the time :P
Another superb video but it hurts 😉 Were there last year but didn’t scout enough and left with some uninspiring pictures, now I have to go back. Thanks for your videos, they give me new energy to search for the next voyage.
If you are looking for some other Basalt Columns look at Drumheller Channel in Washington state.... That is a pretty cool area
Thanks for the input, I've added it to my map :)
Another great video. Good job!
Great video Mads. Can really see your exitement of finding tge location. You location videos are great. Have you thought of doing a video where you discuss things like where to logisticaly stay in order to have acces to certain locations. What type of car to rent and when to go there depending on if its aurora photography, mot winterlike photography, summer type photography and so on. For exampli if you stay at this location and rent this kind of car you can access this and this and this location for aurora photography. But if you visit in say june you can go to this and this and this location. Keep up the good work. / Andreas Sweden
Hi Andreas, yes I have thought of a video for logistics. However, I'm not going to cover each season ;)
haha i can understand that..:D
Hi Mads, I just want to say thank you for the Iceland videos!! I am heading there in 2019 and the videos have been a tremendous help. What to photograph, ideas on how to photograph certain spots. Cheers from Canada!
Great video as always. Really makes me want to pick up the camera and go out shooting
Hi Mads, you're Iceland series is fantastic. Visiting there for the first time next week and can't wait. Out of interest what lenses are you using with the Sony ?
Using 12-24, 25-105 and 70-200 all f/4 by now :) and the sigma 20mm f/1.4 for auroras
@@MadsPeterIversen Still shooting with my canon glass and metabones adapter at the moment but seriously considering the 16-35mm. I've had the 24mm Sigma Art F/1.4 for astro work for ages, great bit of glass :)
great stuff
Another great video with amazing pictures and drone footage.
When you use Sony with canon lenses does your adapter give you auto focus or you use only in manual?
And which drone do you use for this drone footage? I think the first picture is from the drone
Going to Iceland in December and seeing all your videos as guides
Thanks a lot
Yes I use the sigma adapter and I use the DJI mavic Platinum
All your Iceland videos have inspired a trip next year...they are wonderful. Thanks for the inspiration. Is early April the preferred time for photography? or do you prefer a different time of year? I travel as you seem to do, living in a car, but this will be my first to a foreign country, I usually stay in the US.
You're very welcome! In my humble opinion end March/April is the worst time to visit Iceland. Everything is melting and the grass is still brown :/
Always enjoy your videos thanks for sharing...
I loved the first image.. and could see it from the drone images... was the final image from the drone? (Image #1)
The first image is from the drone yes :) Thanks a lot :)
Come back to Denmark and teach your danes in the FB Nature group how and what to shoot, this was insane, beautiful, great work
Well they could just follow my videos and learn ;)
You know how lazy they are and uninformed, you need to go in that group and put up your pics
