Great video, Mads! Even though I do prefer to be a “lone wolf” as you put it, and try for original compositions, I can think of 2 other reasons for photographing famous locations. 1) If you are spending a lot of money to go to a faraway place, it’s a good idea to include some “safe” photos where you know you can get something good. This way you won’t come away empty-handed, because trying to be original carries a greater risk of failure. I like to do these shots at the beginning of a trip, so that once I have captured them, the pressure is off, I know I have something good, and I can spend the rest of my time being creative without any fear of leaving with nothing. 2) These shots build confidence that you too can do it. This is especially useful if you hit a dry patch where you aren’t happy with any of your recent photos, and capturing a famous location can give you a much needed boost.
Jon Grall those are very wise thoughts! Thanks again Jon :)
What Jon said. Absolutely true.
I absolutely agree. I was littery thinking about this this morning. Why do I take a 'safe shot' when arriving at specific location? Well for the exact reasons mentioned above. It builds confidence and gives you the flexibility to go creative. And when you go creative you can succeed or/and you can fail. If you succeed you win, if you fail you learn. and those are the times you learn and can challenge yourself. And when you're being challenged and you have a good outcome it gives fulfilment. This is a method that works for me personally. So a 'safe shot' is not something I do for the 'Gram' but it is something for me that helps me in my photography.
The under-the-bridge shot was my favorite.
Theresa Rice yeah, I like that one too the most :)
I think it dosent matter how many times place has been photographed it will always be unique to you as youv've captured a moment in time that will never be repeated. Think you prove that perfectly each week Mads, as again these images were breathtaking. The last one was magnificent as the detail of the dark rocks in the foreground were balanced beautifully with the cloud rainbow above the mountain. Truly superb yet again
scotty4418 thanks a lot, yet again ;) And you're right. All moments are unique :)
WOW!
Long comment alert*
Pictures and videos like these had Hamnoy & Reine on my bucket list for years as an aspiring landscape photographer. 🤩 I had my first visit a few days ago (Summer 2022) and gotta say, this visit has forever taught me to research ahead of time where the sun will be when planning any visit photography wise.
The fishing villages with the mountainous backgrounds make this area one of a kind no doubt, but it wasn't until I went out around 11pm(sunset) that I realized what makes those breathtaking photos of this area so eye-catching. The lighting placement and snow on the ground.
While the midnight sun does provide an advantage to prolonged golden hours, I completely overlooked these two crucial factors.
That said, I'm sure the south facing view from Reinebringen during this time is still majestic, however, I frustratingly can't speak from experience. I'm an avid hiker but I caught COVID literally the day before my arrival to this area and it completely crushed me physically and emotionally once I realized I had no chance in making the climb.
Just a heads up for anyone looking to visit during the summer solstice and thinks COVID no longer exists in Norway. 😷
I wow'ed like 3 times at that last picture.
Haha, thanks a lot, Perrin! :)
Why anyone would give this a thumbs down, is beyond me. You've an incredible talent as both photographer and educator.
I photograph these locations mostly for myself - for the experience of beeing there! There is a good reason why those locations are so well photographed, and the photos make great memories of that visit. Your camera will take you places 🙂
Exactly! It'll take you all sorts of places :)
Different angles of the same scene ~ every one equally beautiful. What a location!
John McFarland thanks a lot! :)
Hello Mads Peter I watched with awe and wow your epic locations in Iceland and now I landed in Lofoton Islands in your journey.you inspire us to go to the next level wherever you begin.if you are nature lover you want more.If you are a beginner photographer you want more.
If you are an advanced photographer you want more.if you are an artist you want more.we always come asking for more.
Never to be satisfied with what we received before.
As regards light I should say the Light on Iceland and Lofoton and on Isle of skye are the most devine lights I have ever seen.please do shoot in Scotland including the Isle of skye.
Best wishes for your great journey.
There is always another peak to climb for a mountaineer.your mother and father would be proud of you.
Soooooooooooo beautiful! Thank you!
Wow! 4 hours of golden hour! Last shot was amazing. Well photographed locations are good for beginner's to improve their skills using well known images as guide.
Kathleen Hart thanks a lot, yeah that light was just crazy! :)
The way you say ‘we had it all’. :-D awesome
Haha, good to hear ;D
Mads! I am a fan of your vlogs and photo's as well. Enjoyed your #stuitermoment (insane epic smile) when you where at Hamnoy in the super duper Golden Hour. Yes Scandinavia, Lofoten is on the bucketlist...... so your video helps me out. What I really like is you remark about meeting and greeting, catching up with other photographers, allthough I am not enthusiastic about busses being emptied by photoguided tours..... I've witnessed that in the Dolomites and that was just #@!&^%$ ;-) so yes saying hi and hello to others is really nice, but when it is that epic light I might be busy so respect for your stunning video capturing!!
Dave Zuuring you should go for sure! It can be ok with workshops. Some people go to get that one shot, while others just want to learn :)
Going to an iconic place is always a new experience to me! All my shots I can remember the weather, how worn out , who I met, the food experiences. Its a whole lot more than just getting the perfect shot! I go with enthusiasm to see and grow. I love your personality because you bring so much energy and knowledge to your production!
Magic! Pure Magic!! Thank you kindly!!!
Love the new series, landscape photographers show how beautiful this world really is!
Thank you very much, John! :)
For me, photographing "well shot" locations is not about copying someone else more using other peoples shots (like yours Mads) to inspire my own photography. There are infinitely better shots done by immensely better photographers than make of most of the shots on my wall but all the shots on my wall are taken by me which is what matters to me. So I say don't be afraid of the well photographed location embrace it and try to get a shot of your own that you are proud to hang on your wall. BTW, another inspiring video Mads, keep them coming.
Topsyrm thanks a lot! Yeah, that's what most important. If you like it and if it's yours!
Another super video, Mads, and your long exposure image taken in the blue hour (09:34) is spectacular. So much looking forward to your next episode from Norway.
Thank you very much, Tony! :)
YES YES YES MADS! Love it!
HAHA! Thank you, Henrik! Always appreciated from a Norwegian :D
Hope to meet you again someday sooner rather than later :)
So many places to go, don't think I will make all of them. Nice location and some memorable photographs.
Mike Lowery thanks a lot. Yeah there's plenty to see out there in the world! :)
I think one of the benefits as a photographer taking photos in a well known area is that it challenges you to find that composition that others have missed. And when you do it’s a great reward.
It's on our list of places to visit! What a stunning place Mads. Been to Norway before, hopefully we can visit the place again. Iconic!
Magical! Thank you! Magical!
You are very welcome, Biff! :)
That last image....stunning!! Love the different angle and portrait orientation:)
Thanks a lot! I'm very happy to hear that :)
If the journey is as important as any images captured then I say go to the iconic, often photographed locations. Your images are the first I've seen and they are truly amazing! As an aside, I love the music bed.
Thanks a lot Brad! And yes, the journey is as important! :)
Wonderful images! That portrait shot from the rocks is a one of a kind image. Fantastic as always!
James Johnston thanks a lot man! Much appreciated :)
Extraordinary!
Thank you very much :)
Beautiful Mads, I envy you. Wonderful shots, what an epic location.
Thanks a lot! Epic indeed!
Wow, Mads, another great video! That last shot was insane.
Another reason I think to go to iconic locations, is to experience them deeply and understand WHY they've become so iconic. What is it about the location that draws people there? Learning exactly what those reasons are can then be applied to future locations that you're scouting out, and don't yet know about.
Thanks for sharing!
You are very welcome and thanks a lot Zalman! I think you're right :)
WOW..beautiful
Very nice. Again. And a new item on the bucketlist! Enjoyed it big time.
I'm very happy to hear that Martien! :)
Seeing this video I still have a long way to go......but it's inspiring.....it really is.....
Yes, there's a long way, but the journey itself is very satisfactory :)
Amazing photos, especially the one at 9:58, well done.
Thanks a lot, Lars! Pleased to hear that :)
Beautiful location, dream to visit 😀awesome pictures 😮
Jiri Vrablik thanks a lot and yes! Dream visit :)
Thank you for opening another great series on photography. For me, someone very new to photography, these iconic locations are a great learning opportunity. Because they have been shot to death in all weather conditions you can try to replicate the shots and by doing so learn master scouting skills, composition, working with current weather... Rinse and repeat :)
Wojciech Szela yes, that is also a good reason :)
Another excellent adventure!
Awh Well. Thats another place on the Bucket list! Fantastic video Mads!! Really liked the first photo with the contrast between the street lights and houses against the Blue of the sky and the towering Mountain in the background.
Thanks a lot, Shaun! I hope you'll go one day ;)
Great stuff again.
Stunning again Mads, look forward to the next one, keep up the good work.
Thank you very much, Phil! Next one will be great too :)
Absolutely stunning images Mads. A four hour golden hour sounds good to me!
Thanks a lot, Dom! Yeah it worked out quite well ;)
Fantasic vlog mads, awesome images especially under the bridge shots. Again brilliantly presented
Thank you so much, Jim! :)
Hi Mads, good points and stunning photos. I absolutely love the one at 10:40. Thanks for sharing this with us!
You're very welcome, Daniel! :)
Stunning location,Stunning images
Thanks a lot Richard. Yeah they turned out great :)
They are well known for a reason and seeing something on picture and seeing with own eyes is 2 very very different things. You can't really transfer the whole feeling of seeing the location into small picture. Lofoten are my dream to visit one day :) Until then I will enjoy your videos :)
lukas k. Exactly yes! Two very different things :)
Excellent. Will be there in 3 weeks.....juuhuuu :-)
Another cracking video. Always agree new compositions and locations are ideal, however these places are worth visiting for a reason as well. My local beauty is Glencoe and I can't get enough of it, happy to try others but equally happy to go back time and time again.
Zander Rutherford oh boy how I miss Glencoe! Could return there myself over and over :)
Just been to the biggest photography show in the UK this weekend. I saw a similar composition to what you shot as a finalist in three separate photo awards and on the front page of a brochure - people clearly want to still see great images regardless of the number of times they have been shot before!
Indeed! It's the same with the tunnel view in Yosemite. It's just a timeless classic ;)
All I have to say is wow! This video has made me an instant fan! I am so excited to keep on watching thank you for sharing your experiences
Aww thank you, Bobby! Very happy about that and I hope you enjoy the rest :)
Incredible Mads, this place is on my hitlist. Perfect timing! Thank you for another epic video and I cannot wait to watch the rest of the series, take notes and then get it booked!
Darren Blight that sounds awesome! And thanks ;)
As always!!! Stunning, stunning, stunning vlog!!! It's a pleasure watching your vlogs Mads!! And I totally agree with your thoughts!!!
victor ferreira thanks a lot yet again :D I'm very happy you enjoy the videos :)
Beautiful photos Mads. Stunning scenery.
Thank you very much :)
Amazing as always and well put together. Have Iceland and Norway on my radar for a visit this year.
Those are two top locations you should definitely visit!
Finally! I was wainting to see episode from lofoten where I live! Awsome shots! Looking forward to the next episode! :D
Tommy Selsøvold thanks a lot! I'm pleased when locals like my videos! :)
Have enjoyed your photos for a while didnt know you had a youtube channel! So good! That location is incredible, blown away.
Thank you very much, Jon! Well, welcome here as well! I hope you enjoy the content :)
Your enthusiasm is amazing. And your photography is spectacular. Great video Mads, as always, full of good information and creative insight. I always enjoy getting out into the Landscape just to take in the sheer beauty of our world and to then try to convey that feeling I had into my images .
I'm so happy to hear that! Yeah, that's the best feeling :)
Belles images d'un spot que j'ai de plus en plus envie d'aller voir. La dernière photo est sublime.
TheMarcao93 thank you very much! :)
Fantastic location, snowy places always make for great images. Lofoten looks amazing. It goes without saying your images are superb especially the slightly slower shutter one. 😊
Thank you very much, Mark! :)
fantastic, in awe yet again Mads, my particular favourite was the image taken from below the bridge, the light around the peak was truly amazing, very much looking forward to the next video :-)
ian hill thanks a lot! Yeah, that's my favorite too ;)
Thanks for the link to all! Time to binge watch with a glass of Merlot! :)
Awsome 👍
Love it, thanks !!!
You are very welcome Jan-Uwe!
Oh Mads the last shot and the blue hour one Just Fricking Awesome. Yet another place to add to the bucket list.
Thank you very, very much Paul :)
Oh WOW man this is sooo sick 😱🔥 Stunning pictures, perspectives and edit 👍🏻❤️
WOW Mads truly amazing😁😁👍👍
steven peachey thank you very much! 😁
Amazing start to the series, looking forward to seeing the other episodes 👍🏻
Medwyn Roberts thanks a lot! They'll be good too ;)
Beautiful Mads. I myself will capture my images and I do not care if they have been done to death by other photographers. At least I have my own images of God's wonderful earth. I feel a visit to this area coming on.
Jim Hamilton I think you have to go! ;)
I had to come and watch this video again. This is by far my favorite mpi video (watched under a different account). The final sequence with the image and music selection is absolllutly majestic! Thank you once again, Mads
WOWWW i want to see those places ones in my life 😍
You'll have plenty of possibility for that :)
Man, I got a feeling that I'm going to need to visit Norway soon! Totally agree with your sentiments on meeting other photographers. :-) That last image was a stonker. I will always shoot the iconic or well shot locations so I can get my own image from that location.
Hear, HearJulian
Exactly, shoot a known location to get my own photo. And definately visit Norway. One ot the most beauriful countries in the world by far.
Julian Baird - Landscape Photography you have to visit Norway. It's absolutely gorgeous! :)
Well, definatley one to add to the map....hopefully making it to Faroe Islands in 2019 though... that trip was very much inspired by your fantastic series of videos from there. :-)
I have planned to go to Lofoten in 1 and a half years, I will follow your episode carefully it will allow me to plan places to visit thank you Mads
ylemort you are very welcome! :)
Great video Mads. Could really see you are enjoying Yourself in beautiful Lofoten. I think i really wont get tired of Lofoten or the rest of the North. The only reason i photograph is to ground my self and reenergize again. And if someone like my shots well...thats a bonus :-) looking forward to the rest of the series. Stay safe :-)
Thank you very much, Bente! :)
Great video as usual Mads. You had some great light indeed. I have been a few times in that spot and never had so good conditions. However I know that on that bridge you can sometimes see more than 40 (!) photographers in the same time. The ofoten are a true photographic paradise but so little of photographers really try to explore it more. You can on and on and on and on see the same pictures from the same few spots. Even if I love the place I am getting partially tired of seeing them again and again unless the light conditions are spectacular... You had some great light so it was a pleasure to look at the images. It is great that you decided to go under the bridge as the composition is really nice :) waiting for the next episode now :)
Maciej Markiewicz thanks a lot! Yeah if it's the exact same conditions it become a bit repetitive ;)
Awesome location and images Mads..........Excellent work
Thanks a lot, Chris! Much appreciated :)
Beutiful pictures, perspectives and edit - excelent work Mads - keep it comming - love your vlogs and stories :-D
Thank you very much, Henrik! :)
Mads, these photos are masterful! Great work portraying the mood :)
Thank you very much Adrian! :)
Great vlog Mads that last image was just amazing, definitely going on the bucket list!
ANDYD655 thanks a lot! I hope you get there one day :)
is amazing mads , a fascinating place !!
Thanks a lot, Ariel! :)
Cracking video :-) And stunning shots too :-)
Thanks a lot, Iain!
Fabulous work. We are so inspired!
Another superb location and video keep it up
Pat Sheerin thank you so very much!
Incredible location and photography. Definitely on my bucket list.
Great video, Mads! Why would I photograph these iconic locations? It's simple for me. On my walls, hang my images! I'm guessing any non-photography person has never seen any of those iconic images we photographers talk about.
Exactly, doing it for yourself is the most important :)
thanks mads, this was amazing. was there two years ago. can't wait to get back there one day. looking forward to the next episode :)
/andreas
Thanks a lot, Andreas! Yeah, I'd love to return too!
Great video as always and stunning photo's, Norway is very high on my list just as you explained due to how much we love these shots in the photographic community
It's indeed a very special place! :)
Love this. I have seen so many shots from the bridge, they are always so eye catching. But the shot from the rocks below is truly incredible. I love what moving 100 feet one way or another in known locations can do for your composition.
Nick Noyes yes! It can completely change the entire scene :)
Another great video ! I think it’s nice to visit these well known locations so you can actually Take in the amazing views in person. Also if you can create a shot that’s different to the others it gives you a sense of achievement ! Top work as always looking forward to the next
Thank you very much, Matt. Yes. There's definitely some sense of accomplishment to that!
Epic Mads, I can see why people shoot these well known locations , stunning x
Exactly! They kinda draw you in! :)
What an absolutely beautiful scenery. Watching this video makes me want to go there someday. It doesn't matter how many times these hotspots are being photographed. Your last picture is absolutely stunning. I am already looking forward to your next episode.
Thanks a lot, Marcel! And yes, always stunning :)
Yet again another great video mads. I’m only just really starting out in landscape as love photographing wildlife especially big cats, my reason for going to well known locations would be to experience the location, get my own photo plus make friends with other photographers. Can’t wait for the next episode next week.
Those are all very good reasons! Next episode will be great! :D
Superb as always Mads!
Thanks a lot, John! Much appreciated.
Super dejligt, takker! Tager selv op i september, så jeg glæder mig meget til næste del :-)
Fedt! God tur :)
Wow your vlogs are amazing, very informative and educational and your images are second to non, in a word superb.
Thank you so much, David! :)
Great vlog mads, loved that last shot, so much drama. Totaly agree about visiting iconic locations. If it's new to me then then it surely dosn't matter. 👍
ian worth very happy to hear that and thanks a lot! :)
Great images. My personal view is why should you not visit somewhere just because many others have! You’re right about outside the landscape photo community. I have just spent a few days in Keswick, The Lake District in the UK. It’s one of the most photographed places in the world but I still got great reactions to my images and had a wonderful time creating them.
Yes, exactly! Nobody knows about the places, so we might as well shoot it :)
Mads This one is EPIC!!! Real glad you went below the bridge. It was all I could think about before you did it 😂 Wonderful work and teaching as usual. Enjoy your day
Tony Gott thanks a lot! It was good I went with a couple of "locals" :)
Dam! That last image, fantastic photography! Thumbs up & I can't wait until the next video!! - with regards to photographing known locations, why not? Saves a ton of looking around with an area you're not familiar with. I just returned from Konigssee and Hintersee, had I not done some research I would have come back with nothing...
Yes, it helps so much to do the research! :)
SO excited to find your channel. I have a trip booked this summer to Lofoten.
Very happy you enjoy the videos :) Good luck in Lofoten!
While many may photograph a particular location, the story being told is never the exact same. Patience & persistence can lead to your ability to tell a new story in a familiar location! That also remains true for revisiting locations you have previously photographed. Photography is art, but it also, to me, more about telling the viewer a story.
Those are some very nice thoughts PEte! :)
Amen for fanden.. Am jaloux !! Billedet til sidst sparker røv :=) keep up the good work
Jonas Forsbäck Hedegaard Haha! Mange tak ;)
