Highly recommended. Don’t hesitate to buy both ebooks, you will be able to feel a before and after in the concepts that are needed at the compositional level in landscape photography.
@@MadsPeterIversen do you believe the same for all conditions ?? I have always hear the other way around , Under expose a little and fix in post, your saying over expose a touch
One thing that makes you one of my favourite photographyoutuber is your passion. I mean just look at your reaction when you find those animals between the trees. It is simply fantastic to see your enthusiasm. And big congrats on an amazing photomorning, and thank you for your exposure tips :)
And more importantly, sharing the passion and knowledge. I’ve come across so many across many fields of profession and interests who treat their knowledge as if they invented it rather than share and grow interest in their hobby or profession. That usually indicates to me that they aren’t passionate about the craft. They’re self centred and scared of being “ordinary”.
I'm glad we got to be along with you when capturing the sun rays with the animals. We also got a glimpse at how passionate you are about photography and nature.
Firstly thanks for the very simplistic and easy way you explain things, no ego and clear explanations make a change from some out there. And secondly I’ll echo previous comments by saying it is simply a joy to watch someone enjoy their craft to the point where they cannot contain themselves, if you can’t smile at this what can you smile at.
DRO does not matter if you shoot in RAW, for clarification. If you shoot JPEG it will make a difference and it can also affect what you are seeing in the viewfinder which can cause you to overcorrect to offset the setting in the camera. It does write to metadata for RAW files but that only interacts with Sony software and not something like Adobe's Lightroom. I have read that it can result in an underexposed RAW file but that's sort of Kentucky Windage because you're going to change your settings on the camera to account for how it looks in the viewfinder. To be clear, your 'creative' setting on the camera will ALSO cause you to do this (so set it to something kind of flat which will help you see what you can expect in post when you're working with the RAW). Depending on how new your Sony camera is, I find that it's hard to notice a difference with it on or off, so I just leave it on. Though, you should do as he said and turn it off so you can follow his advice until you have a better understanding of what you're seeing in the viewfinder and what the camera is going to spit out into lightroom.
I experienced a similar thrills last weekend several times when the conditions and the environment just 'went off.' We as photographers get to experience these amazing conditions and we are the ONLY person on the planet that does. Quite humbling in my opinion. Another great vlog Mads.
It's amazing how Mads' patient, kind and gentle ways to show us one can hope to learn how to bring out pure poetry out of chaotic woodland. I am breathless!
The pics 9:45 👍 The video walking through 10:00 👍 Pic at 12:40 😍 Video at 13:00 walking through the scene I thought would make an excellent pic with a person in the scene ☺ Pic 15:43 😮 3 pics at 18:33😮👏 And the information 👏 Let along your enthusiasm ... excellent video.
Who needs to watch tv when I can view your videos, Mads. You are absolutely fantastic and how lucky for you in your beautiful country. I live in Melb and it is 12th oct and we are still in lockdown, but I have dragged my cameras out and get super charged with your enthusiasm. Well done, pure genius and so so helpful, Leigh.
Actually, if you want to do ETTR with Sony, your best bet would to use 109+ Zebra, not 100. 109+ will give you actual RAW Zebra, so you can just go until you see zebra and the slightly back off and that 100% RAW ETTR. From my experience, DRO can actually be rather useful to previsualize how would your developed raw look like. And it can help with composition in very high dynamic range situations, because with DRO OFF your shadow can look totally black and you can miss important compositional elements in the shadows.
@@MsPernickety as far as DRO goes, you cannot actually see RAW image on the back of your screen. So yes, DRO works only on JPEGs, but that's the only thing you can see until photos are transfered to your computer
the image of the deer with the tall trees is just one of the finest I've ever seen! your excitement washed over me and I too was overwhelmed. thank you for sharing. Take care and be safe out there....
Oh I always enjoy your videos (even if I don't always like, sorry), but your sheer joy and happiness seeing those deer/sheep just shows how mc=uch passion you have for your photography. That alone made this video so thank you
Simply beautiful. Aren‘t these moments the essence of photography, the rare feeling to be a part of a stunning natural spectacle? Looking at your pictures for the first time made me a bit sad, because you showed me how long my way still is. But your videos helped me to refind my lost motivation to get out in the morning and keep on practising, because the greatest lesson you told me, was that there is no point where you should say to yourself: This is my final form, I can‘t get better than this. Thank you very much and keep on with your great work!
I could really feel your excitement in capturing these images. I was almost in tears when you caught the animals in the sunrays. Thanks for taking us along.
I've been doing exposure bracketed shots using 3 exposures at (-2,0,+2) for a year now and even if I don't do a HDR composite image I have a much better chance of getting a good final image. Since most of my exposure bracketed shots are handheld even though I own a good tripod and monopod, there's often cases where one of the three doesn't perfectly align in the HDR software, which leaves me with just two images for the HDR and I can usually compensate fairly well with modifying the exposure, contrast, etc., of the resultant HDR image. One thing I definitely need to do not of is use a tripod to get HDR panoramas, which is my next avenue of creative exploration.
Congratulations! It's great to see the excitement, even that you have been to so many beautiful places. And you got you picture of your lifetime at home in Denmark. You didn't need to travel the world. Great!
So many of your videos - bring tears to my eyes!.. your stunning images, compositions are incredibly powerful. Just amazing to watch you work. Your a talented & genuine guy Mads. Thanks for sharing your gift.
OMG! The deer shot! I think all of your photos are amazing, but this is the very best of! 😍 You were blessed! 😃 Thanks for your tips and tricks👌🏻, I learn a lot about landscape photography! 😊
Wow - Just spectacular results. Thanks for the refresher on exposing to the right and for taking us along for the journey with those astonishing images. You live in a beautiful area.
Wow. You always deliver the most beautiful landscapes, you find the most beautiful scenery. I have enjoyed and learned from your e-books. I also enjoy watching your enthusiasm for what you are doing in the videos.
It is truly magical, exciting and fantastic to see a true photographer, who really feels what he is doing, in a trance state, when he sees, beforehand, “the PHOTO”: all the necessary elements, and all of them in perfect harmony. I know VERY WELL those exceptional moments; when one feels absolutely excited, happy, knowing in advance that this is "THE PHOTO". It is a magical, almost mystical moment, during which, many times, tears appear in our eyes, of pure happiness and fulfillment. Today, watching your video, I have seen myself reflected in similar situations. Thank you, as always for sharing BEAUTY, EMOTION AND TRUTH. Extraordinary video, by the way, as usual. Thank you very much for it.
Gorgeous work sir. I haven't shot landscape for years as I've gotten more into portraits and sports photography. But seeing these makes me want to go out and shoot some landscapes again.
Sometimes luck comes to those who deserve it, and you are one of them, Mads! What a great series of shots! I'm really loving so much the landscapes of Jutland, so calm, peaceful, green. Love them! Hope to visit it some day!
This is really fabulous video. I always get confused in foggy and bright conditions as to where to increase my exposure -- to the right or the left. And explaining the histogram along with the exposure lesson brings it all home. Many thanks.
what a fantastic morning for you Mads, another collection of images that were beautiful, especially the final series with the sheep bathed in the sunlight. Not long back from London and used bracketing on a good number of occasions as I knew that using your methods in your Photoshop for Landscape Photographers, I would be able to blend these together to get the best results
The landscape photo of the sheep at 19:09 is fabulous. I subscribed to your channel about a month ago and I've been going thru all your older posts. Great content!
U actually gave me the inspiration to go and learn how to do landscape photography! I am lucky enough to live really close to dolomites and I guess I can get something pretty good!
the problem is, that there is much more information in underexposed parts than in overexposed, so if you would have over-overexposed parts - you won't be able to get any information from that parts, but underexposed parts would have that info, so usually actually advice is that expose on the brightest part, you will be able to save shadows later in editor. in your case ofc it is little bit different, because there are no really overexposed parts, so it is easier to add little brighness there. On other hand bracketing is a good choice if Dynamic Range is really wide, it helps a lot.
Nikon user here: 1) ensure correct white balance, 2) often bring up the brightness. Except when exposing on sunrises etc then bring it right down. 3) use the exposure hold button.
Your images are always inspiring. I get fog envy as we don’t get it very often in Utah. I have not used the Zebra as you do. I have mine set at either 107 or 109. When the zebras appear I back it off a little for correct highlight exposure. Thanks for tips.
Discovered your RUclips location. Fantastic images. Not much else to say. I’m a retired portrait photographer at my age always room to learn. Thank you
Mads …amazing ! So great to really feel the passion and excitement of getting that shot at the end with that amazing gaze of the deer in that perfect light and setting …Bravo 👏👏

@@MsPernickety It's not a DRO, those are RAW zebras. They work even with DRO disabled, ie in PP modes.

Absolutely love your reaction near the end when you spot the sheep! I can feel the excitement you had. Happy you shared this experience with us!
It is so wonderful to see, how lucky you are with the deer´s at your location @ 17:20 min.
Thanks for sharing these special moment with us! 🙏 Wolf

your expressions/reactions are just priceless!
The "deer" sheep photos look absolutely perfect! That is the luck you sometimes need as a photographer!
Your enthusiasm is contagious! Love it!
The best RUclips recommendation i got this year ❤️
I could feel my heart racing when the deer showed up for portraits! What a morning. Thanks for the instruction.
Congratulations, Mads! The sheeps in the end - wow - every photographers dream come true, for you. A blessed moment indeed.
Unreal! Those last shots, wow! Learned what bracketing was from this video, thanks!
Thank you Mads. This was nice and clear. Many people about exposing to the right, but you actually show.
Great Photos !!! Using a black background and the white sliver of print to frame the photo is the way to make optimal viewing !!!!!!!!!
I could only dream, of taking such amazing photos. Well done.
What a perfect picture with the deer. All the pictures look amazing.
I'm just getting started.......I must say your shots of the Aurora Borealis are absolutely beautiful never ever stop taking pictures 📸
Congratulations! It's great to see the excitement, even that you have been to so many beautiful places. And you got you picture of your lifetime at home in Denmark. You didn't need to travel the world. Great!
So rarely does a photograph convey such emotion. It's your particular style. Fantastic 👍

would you do this over just taking a bracketed shot at various exposures and perfecting it later?
