This video is a must-watch, incredible content.

[@kgadeberg]

Tip no. 9 is by far the most important. And even if you Don’t bring back the epic shot you still get to go into Nature and enjoy our wonderful world.

[@tjsinva]

Short, sweet, and on point. 🎯👍🥂

[@joe3eagles]

As a guy named Joe, I appreciate all the tips that will help me to not be average. 🤭😁 Another great and useful video!

[@SapnaReddyphotography]

Absolutely loved the images and your concise no nonsense style of delivering the information.

[@stuartvh4562]

Thanks for a timely reminder, Mads. I always learn from your videos, whatever the topic. Wishing you a successful 2023.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you, Stuart! I hope it'll bring some great photos :D

[@andymorrall]

Some ideas for your next techniques video (I learned some of these from hard experience): 1) Correct clothing - it's hard to take good photos if cold rain is running down your neck 2) Food and hot drinks - make the patience tolerable 3) Google street view / earth to find new angles before you go 4) A dog - companionship, in photos for scale, and to send for help if you fall off something 5) A phone with a half-decent camera, because sometimes your primary one fails, or the card gets corrupted, and with a phone you haven't wasted a day 6) Spare batteries for everything 7) Someone to call mountain rescue if you don't come back 8) Thin, tin-foil survival banket and a whistle - for until mountain rescue finds you 9) Torch / flashlight - the way down the mountain can take a lot longer if you twist an ankle 10) Mads' ebooks for while you're waiting for the light to change

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Ha! Some great inputs! Thanks a lot, Andy! :)

[@eric.ko.]

This is a solid videos. You have compressed a lot of important tips into a very concise video. Great work.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you Eric :)

[@JaypeaFoto]

Well done video. Great great tips.

[@louisburley1597]

Best photoshop course on the internet! Buy that before you think about buying more gear.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you so much for the recommending the course, Louis! :)

[@michaelj.1121]

Whow - very condensed, very good explanations and the images are stunning - as always! 👏

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you, Michael! :)

[@scotty4418]

One of the great benefits from these types of videos is the array of stunning images that you use to back up your commentary Mads and absolutely agree with number 8 and can say to anyone who is thinking about buying your course is to do it as they wont be disappointed. It made such a huge difference in improving my processing skills

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you, Jim! That's very kind of you! 🙏

[@adamwhittingham86]

My worry with purchasing a course is I know more than I think I do. I'd love to get it and learn new techniques. But I also worry I'll be like "oh, I already know that". And the reality is, Mads just takes better images than me and editing is the least of my worries 🤣

[@elforestero]

Beautiful, inspiring photos and awesome, helpful advice. Thanks!

[@zigatretjak75]

#7 is the best!

[@marilynrichards979]

Great information and beautiful images! Thank you Mads.

[@richardpesce5325]

Great video Mads, very clear points. Thanks!

[@kevins8575]

Thanks, Mads. Although I mostly photograph birds, your tips on composition and editing have really helped.

[@staceyaustin6905]

Great video!

[@johnclay7644]

good 10mins on landscape genre.

[@ericbauer9187]

Mads, I especially liked how you included photos of the same subject but in different weather conditions to show how important atmosphere and lighting are in making a great shot. Maybe do more of that, focusing on how shifting composition slightly makes/breaks a photo, or time of year, or focal length? I think you've done one on shutter speed and water/waves (or was that Nigel...)

[@MadsPeterIversen]

We've both done one and definitely something I try to do if it makes sense and I remember to also take the "bad" photo for comparison ;)

[@ericbauer9187]

@@MadsPeterIversen Just one more thing to add to your mental to-do list while you are out producing a high-quality video while trying to get great shots. How hard could it be? ;-)

[@robertwhitemoto]

Some of your most amazing shots! Beautiful Mads.

[@mikaelhylander6321]

Good summary of different tips. Thanks for making all these great videos and share your work with us all. Best Regards from Sweden

[@kittyclerico18]

This is a great reminder of basic concepts. Loved seeing all your photos as examples. ❤

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thanks a lot, Kitty!

[@AnomandarisPurake]

Great video. Straight to the point and no faffing around. It's worth watching just for his pronunciation of "fog". 😉

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Oh God 😅

[@darindearden5717]

Great Video Mads. Love the inspiration.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you, Darin! :)

[@anthonyplancherel8274]

All very useful tips 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@CluelessYoutuber]

Really great refresher and tips for everyone starting out 😁 always enjoy your photos Mads!

[@rolsonn]

Excellent information!

[@dsandys]

I've taken up landscape photography as a new hobby about 6 months ago. Going on my first photography workshop in Death Valley CA next week. Your videos and books have been a primary source of inspiration and learning. Thank you!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

I am gald to hear that, Dave! Good luck in DV, such an incredible place!

[@jasonlee4267]

I would love to see how you edited one of those photos including the shoot itself and then taking it into lightroom and how you work on it, I often can take fairly decent images, but its the editing that really sets these photos you guys take that is where i get stuck on

[@Mike-126]

Excellent content!

[@reneebetteridge1289]

Really great tips. It took a couple of times for me to realise you were actually saying "fog" sounded like a totally different word to my ears lol

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Haha, yeah, that's actually something I talked with Nigel about in an earlier video 😅

[@steveking6204]

Excellent!

[@josecarlosmora9318]

Gracias.

[@mfranchini]

Hello Mads, excellent as always. What is the app you show in the video, for weather forecast?

[@2000sidhupunjab]

Hi Mads, love your work. Can you make a video tutorial on how to add white borders to images.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

James Popsys has one, but it's really just opening the photo in Photoshop (jpeg) and extend the canvas size in the "image" dropdown menu :)

[@celestewalz8342]

Get out: I go for a walk every Sunday sunrise at my local nature preserve. Sometimes I get nothing, but I know the area intimately so when the light and conditions ARE right, I know immediately where to go.

[@Suhailkhan53]

Excellent video😊

[@dag_drone_photography]

Excellent video with some amazing shots!!! Particularly liked the one of The Lonely Tree at Llyn Padarn. Was it from your recent trip to Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thanks a lot, I didn't show the lone tree at Llyn Padarn in this video, it was the lone tree at Buttermere from my 2017 trip ;)

[@dag_drone_photography]

@@MadsPeterIversen my mistake they look very similar 👀 😂

[@halstewart3650]

Mads do you use a long-distance remote for your camera so you can include yourself? If so, which brand? Thank you.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

I'm actually answering that in the video, I use the intervalometer :)

[@NeluCiorba]

I like that app, do you know something similar for USA? Nice video!!!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Pretty sure both are available for US people :)

[@NeluCiorba]

​@@MadsPeterIversen Thanks Mads! If you think you want to come here to the US, do you have a place to stay or maybe we can have a photo adventure in the US? ;)

[@dccd673]

Will you ever come out with a photography book of your images? I would definitely buy one if you ever do

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Yes, I will for sure, I just need to figure out the best way to go about it ;)

[@dccd673]

@@MadsPeterIversen Awesome! Looking forward to it!

[@timothykieper]

Nice video! Except, I refuse to pay the Adobe monthly subscriptions. Seems there are other editing alternatives for a budget-conscious photographer?

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Considering how much I use the Adobe products, I personally don't mind, but dependent on your camera I'm pretty sure most brands have their own basic RAW editing software. I know Sony and Canon do :)

[@jimwilliam4513]

Huh? Only one "Epic!" in the whole video? ; )

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Yeah, I know... I gotta up it a bit xD

[@andrewhillphotosvideos2909]

Im from the uk so can you tell me how much do i pay? it seems like your pricing is set round the Dollor... this is what I see (VAT in United Kingdom US$4) which doesn't indicate uk pounds? thank you

[@MadsPeterIversen]

In the US they don't use VAT, VAT is "value added tax" which is a European thing, the tax differs between European countries and is added on top of the displayed price for European customers. If you pay in GBP it'll just adjust your payment to be equal to 20 USD (price) + 4 USD (tax), which as far as I can see right now is about 19,5 GBP :)

[@huette]

Just that I mention you in another video comment, there is the new video 😅👌

[@bogi_olsen]

👍🙂

[@J_Creek54]

Hvorfor støtter du ikke danske fotohandlere og køber dit udstyr her i landet? Har du ikke selv en fortid i branchen?

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Hva snakker du om?

[@richardsears6005]

i love shooting landscapes unfortunately i also work a job to pay bills and well i would love to make a living doing photography though

[@bentchristensen3770]

Holder du kurser i Danmark

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Hej Bent, nej desværre ikke endnu, måske i fremtiden. Jeg afholder foredrag i forskellige fotoklubber fra tid til anden.

[@TAdams-hx9lk]

Whoa, yeah, great info but soo fast. Who are you racing. Lots of great info but not a relaxing education!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

I'm racing peoples attention 😅 With slower videos they tend to drop off early ;)
