This is one of the best introductions to landscape photography I've ever seen. Well planned and well implemented. I'll be sending folks to this channel to watch.
If I had 4 times the budget, traveled twice as much, woke up earlier, stayed out longer my photos would be about half as good as yours!! Your spirit and enthusiasm is what it takes and there is no one out there with your passion. I love watching your videos because you fire me up. If I wasn't on disability pay I would take one of your courses. Thanks for all you do. You liked the trees!!!
@@MadsPeterIversen I have a trip to Iceland coming up and just bought my first professional camera (Sony a7iii) and the last moments gave me goosebumps too I’m super excited for my trip
I think too many people forget, or never knew about, the processes which were done in the dark room during the day of film, and so, believe it is wrong to work on photos in Photoshop and other editors; that it is somehow not true or truthful. Glad you included this last part about editing photos as part of the whole process. Thank you, Mads. And thanks for another useful video instruction.
You are right about interests varying over time. I have learned in my 60+ years of photographing that I love to record the moment in landscape but I adore the process and catharsis of just taking a photograph. The process is almost meditation.
I can also feel my interests has changed a bit over the past few years - especially when it comes to woodland, but it was actually such a pleasure being back in the Faroes doing some epic photography :)
In my former career as a Fire Officer, Pareto's Principle normally meant 10% of the people taking up 90% of my time, but being retired I very much prefer your philosophy of using the principle in my photography. Just finished going through your course fully for a second time Mads and have pages of notes now as can honestly say to anyone thinking of buying it especially with the generous discount your offering is to buy it. The knowledge you imparted was incredible and I would have continued to struggle with Photoshop had it not been for your teaching. Cannot thank you enough and look forward to moving forward with my photography
Haha, I can relate to that as an educated school teacher... luckily, I didn't get to use that education much in the ground school. Thanks though, for the super kind, kind words, Jim! It warms! I am so happy you've enjoyed and learned from the course :D
Looking to get into landscape photography, and luckily my line of work (RUclips, albeit gaming) allows me to justify expensive gear purchases. So I just picked up a Sony a7IV and recently a Tamron f/2.8 70-180. And while I’m waiting for that to come, I’m binging every video I can. And this has been my favorite by far!
i know most of this because i do photography since a couple of years now. but i watched all the video. the joy of that sound, your voice and your beutiful catures from Faroer and Iceland never is boring :)
I was thinking to join a physical academy to learn Landscape photography, but in this video, I got so much knowledge and I'm ready to start travelling and photography. So, informative and impressive video, I just love it. Thank you so much for this priceless efforts and the way you explain it. Love from Pakistan ❤️
I've been on RUclips for 14 years and this is my 1st comment. That's the only way I can think of to properly indicate to you how impactful your video was. I've done primarily portrait photography/videography, but I recently acquired a DJI Air 2S and that perspective has enticed me to branch out to a sub-division of photography (landscape) that has never "clicked" for me... ...until this video. FYI, I believe this technical information is complete enough to be an all encompassing photography tutorial. Very well done.
Great video with one caveat, Nikon full frame cameras allow you to use the aps-c (Dx) lenses by changing a menu setting to “cut” the edges off of the full from sensor. So you can technically use both.
I hope this finds you in good health....your photos are absolutely amazing and I only hope and pray for the gift you have received in photography!!!! I’m new to all this and this stuff is harder than I thought but I’m gonna keep at it ! Where do you get these amazing landscapes of photos !! ???
I just found this video that was suggested while watching another. You knocked it out of the park with this one. Great job! Thank you for the overview.
Your work touches such a deep human emotion within its like you transport your audience into a world that just looses you to entirely different place, so inspiring, thank you. Incredible photos.
I am blown away with the enthusiasm and passion you have for Photography. It was my first time watching such a video which clearly introduced me into Natural photography. The explanations, knowledge, photos that you shared just shows how good of a photographer you are. You nailed every single part of it. Keep up the good work. :)
I think you have helped me alot and I really appreciate your video. You have inspired me to really pursue my new photography adventure. This was maybe the 15th video I've seen with the same content but I think your a little unique. If I wasn't so poor I would join your course just so I could pick your amazing brain. Good work!!!
I just started to learn about camera's and the common thing I find when you folks talk about aperture, you describe the number being counter to what is happening (which is true but confusing). However what might think of doing is saying the larger the number means more material covering the lens which leads to a smaller opening. So concentrate on it being larger number for more material.
Great video! I already knew most of this information, but still found it very helpful! This video is put together very well. I wish I had this when I was first starting!
This was so helpful;. I'm about to buy my first DSLR camera. I used a Canon film camera with lots of lenses and filters in the '80s and '90s and am looking forward to getting back to landscape photography with the digital version. I think this video with be invaluable. Thank you.
Everything you said in the video was amazing, well-paced and filled with ONLY what a beginner needs to know. This was mastery of editing and teaching, you really know your stuff and HOW to teach others! Thank you for this! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I stumbled across your channel recently. Watched lots of your videos and just in awe of your photographs. Defiantly my new favourite landscape photographer.
A really good summary. I have been explaining the decision to increase equipment cost, effort, skill level and other forms of “investment” as dependent on the degree to which you want to expand the range of your work from simple snapshots to more demanding subjects. Anyone can take a picture of their child in the yard on a sunny day with their smartphone. Great astro photography or memorable dawns in Iceland take more skill, better equipment, and real editing ability.
Thank you so much, your video made so much sense , It was clear and concise and there were a couple of lightbulb moments for me ! Your style of teaching is wonderful .
When you use a crop sensor (x1.5, x1.6, x2) it's not only the focal length that gets multiplied by the crop factor but also the aperture. A lot of people think that because you get a longer focal length with a smaller sensor, you also get a better bokeh. That is not the case. The crop factor of the sensor also applies to the aperture and light sensitivity. Another thing to remember is that the lenses designed for crop sensors do not give the same field of view as the same focal length lenses for full frame. 18-55 mm kit lens for FF will give you a wider field of view than 18-55 mm kit lens on a smaller sensor even if one is specifically designed as 18-55 mm for crop. The bigger the sensor, the bigger the viewing angle with the same mm. You can google focal lengths and their viewing angles for your type of sensor and make a better choice.
This is a great video thank you. One mention however as you have shared some info, the 90 - 10 is actually the 80-20 pareto peiclncipal. Created by a student on a tomato timer. 80% of what happens ifls usually because of 20% of actions. Glad you explained lenses as I have a 90d and confused as want to get as a prime for it for landscapes and seems the 35 for the crop is a good length making it a 56mm.
Spot on information . All true , it took me many years to learn all this . Although I started with film and a darkroom most info is transferable to digital . I am involved in photography daily and am still Learning after over 69 years 😂
It’s the first time I come across your videos, and I’ve been on RUclips for Photography for years. Is it Yoga or Photography Channel? Not sure, but I freaking love it. Congrats. Subscribed.
Fantastic video, tips and pictures! Thank you! I’m using the OMD em1 iii because of the practicality, robustness, quality, size and internal (and electronic) ND. And ergonomics for my small hands…
So insightful, thank you for sharing your knowledge on this platform. I just got the sony a7iv and sony gmaster 24-70mm 2.8 to start with, the goal is to hopefully one day monetize landscape photography but I'll acknowledge I'm years away from doing just that. But closer by a decade with learning from you, thanks 🙏
Mads Thank you I wish I would have seen this video 10 years ago. I had to mostly learn these facts on my own. One thing I always assumed focus point and exposure were set the same I had no idea they were separate from each other.
Honestly you are the only guy on RUclips that I feel so keen and happy to sit hours watching his videos. You have special technique In delivering the info. Regarding the photoshop tutorial does it like teach us how to edit and explain in detail what each icon is for? Thx
Thanks a lot, Joseph. Very happy to hear that. In regard to your question. Yes and no. I explain the parts I use, not everything as that would be a waste of time. Photoshop is massive and that would simply just be too much ;)
I watched this on Oct 22-2022 just before midnight, the video had 222,2222 views. Very informative video on canoeing, I need new paddles without a doubt.
Great video, very thorough and insightful. In September, 2023 I will be going to Norway and Lofoten Islands. Hope to see 😮many wonderful images. Orlando Morales
I love it when you do these videos. As Scotty4418 has said here, and as I have said before, there is no simple easy way to learn, if so, I would have done it! :-) I have taken your course in Photoshop and still working through it, with my camera beside me. I have tried other courses in lightroom and photoshop, I was frustrated with other courses, but found yours, simple to understand and complete. I have really enjoyed you taking us step by step through many processes. You show us the reasons and examples to enhance light, colours and textures. I really need this kind of teaching, and for me, I like to review it many times, work with it on many photos. It helps me to keep the process in my head. I have also taken your composition courses. I love to review and watch your videos on composition, then get out there and take some photos. Every time I venture out to take photos and find photos, I find it an easier process now to find my composition and understand my angles, light. Huge help on all levels Mads, Thank You!
Thank you for such a thoughtful and kind comment, Richard! That really means a lot! I am so pleased to hear you enjoy AND understand the course and feel you benefit from it!
Thanks for actually explaining the basic terms like ISO, aperture, etc... So many "beginner" or "basic" videos assume you already know. As a complete beginner, your explanation of these terms finally gave me a sense I was starting from the beginning :)
I wish I found this video at the start of the year, when I was just starting out with photography! But as I still consider myself a real novice, this video is still full of a lot of value! Love your content! 🙌

90/10 princible? I have one of those too. I pay attention enough to 90% of educational material. I will remember 10% of that. For a week :)
Hehe, that's better than me all during ground school! :D
Ha! My ratio is more like 95/5. Excellent video for sure!
🤣 Me too.
I can’t remember why I walked from the living room to the kitchen
For week? Mines a day.
The way you present information is unparalleled. Non of the flashy gimmicky stuff. Just clear intelligible facts. Happy I came across your channel
Thank you so much for such a kind comment! :)
This is one of the best introductions to landscape photography I've ever seen. Well planned and well implemented. I'll be sending folks to this channel to watch.
i agree!
Agreed
If I had 4 times the budget, traveled twice as much, woke up earlier, stayed out longer my photos would be about half as good as yours!!

I am a beginner, I love your tutorial so much. Thank you!
This guy gives me goose-bumps with that music and the suspense he delivers with his positivity and creative mind, wow!!!
Hehe thanks, Larry. Goosebumps is what I aim for 😁
@@MadsPeterIversen I have a trip to Iceland coming up and just bought my first professional camera (Sony a7iii) and the last moments gave me goosebumps too I’m super excited for my trip
Perfect example of knowledge, passion and the will to teach others the beautiful world of photography. ❤
I think too many people forget, or never knew about, the processes which were done in the dark room during the day of film, and so, believe it is wrong to work on photos in Photoshop and other editors; that it is somehow not true or truthful. Glad you included this last part about editing photos as part of the whole process. Thank you, Mads. And thanks for another useful video instruction.
It helps to have the most exotic and beautiful landscapes to photograph. Most of us live in bland looking areas with not much interest.
My father was a photography instructor. Your material was first class and covered the 90% brilliantly
You are right about interests varying over time. I have learned in my 60+ years of photographing that I love to record the moment in landscape but I adore the process and catharsis of just taking a photograph. The process is almost meditation.
I can also feel my interests has changed a bit over the past few years - especially when it comes to woodland, but it was actually such a pleasure being back in the Faroes doing some epic photography :)
New to photography. Definitely in the category all the [entry level] gear and no idea. Learned so much from this video. Thank you!
Honestly you nailed it for me and now I understand photography with my camera. Thanks alot
In my former career as a Fire Officer, Pareto's Principle normally meant 10% of the people taking up 90% of my time, but being retired I very much prefer your philosophy of using the principle in my photography.

Thank you so much! And thanks for the compliment about the print. I am also very happy about it :)
One of the best videos I've ever seen about photography.
Listening to you feels like having a nice cup of hot coffee with a close friend on a winter morning :) Thank you for connecting so well
I like the way you explain it. Very slow and very meditation. Good work and thanks a lot.
I have watched more videos about landscape photography, But this one is different, more effective. Thank you 💗
Clear, concise, and very informative. Every landscape enthusiast wanna be like me MUST watch this video.
I hope this finds you in good health....your photos are absolutely amazing and I only hope and pray for the gift you have received in photography!!!! I’m new to all this and this stuff is harder than I thought but I’m gonna keep at it ! Where do you get these amazing landscapes of photos !! ???
I have watched a number of videos as I try to get into photography as a hobby in retirement. This is by far the best. Great Job!
From: Joe in Kansas
An amazing video that should be in the library of everyone! Congrats Mads.
Thanks a lot! I am happy to hear that. Hopefully many beginners and a few advanced will gain something from it :)

My big dream landscape photography
I enjoy your well explain video because you take time . I looking forward to seeing more of your video. Thanks
Thank you so much, your video made so much sense , It was clear and concise and there were a couple of lightbulb moments for me ! Your style of teaching is wonderful .
Very good explanation of photography principles. Exposure value segment was one of the best I’ve seen in last 50 years.

A lot of people think that because you get a longer focal length with a smaller sensor, you also get a better bokeh. That is not the case.

luckily, that last 10% only takes........ many years!
Thanks for sharing your experience with us
