Going in late september and super pysched that you recommended that exact time frame. Your Iceland series is the best content on KZbin about the country for photographers -- superb work!

[@molopez619]

Alvaro Soares, Jr. have fun and safe travels bro!

[@jamesscarborough9545]

I HIGHLY recommend if you rent a car get a 4x4 and hit the F roads F208, F210 just to name a few. Some of the most beauty is out on the F roads.

[@asoaresjr]

@@jamesscarborough9545 thanks for the tip! I had a Mazda CX-5 booked -- think I need to step up to something more rugged?

[@jamesscarborough9545]

@@asoaresjr I see it is all wheel drive but not "4 Wheel" drive. And what is the ground clearance? The main problem I have seen with the F roads is that you need higher clearance for the large rocks, pot holes and water you may or will encounter. If you have the cash ....Step up and attack the F roads....You WILL NOT regret going back those roads and will not be rubbing elbows with tons of tourist.

Thank you Mads , you just made my night by saying the best time to visit Iceland is End of September start of October. That’s exactly when i’m going this year for my first ever overseas photography holiday from Sydney. Ohhh and thanks for the fantastic Map 👌

[@martintromp4158]

Wonderfull episode about the magnificent Iceland

[@markwayne8502]

Visited Iceland last October and your right, it was a great time to visit. However, we did run into a severe snowstorm in a remote area and almost got stranded. Always check the weather forecast daily in whatever region your traveling in Iceland......our mistake. Great video as always.

[@DavidRamsey1]

Well done. I've only been to Iceland once, and couldn't agree more that late September through mid-October is a wonderful time to be there. The colors are amazing.

[@valk-photography]

Another stunning video ...... like how you show us the before and after, really educational. Mid october i'm going to visit the Snaefelisnes peninsula ..... first time in this area of Iceland ..... with your map and videos as a guide :) ..... Thanks Mads for everything !

[@MadsPeterIversen]

You're so very welcome, Mario. Also happy you enjoyed the Faroes and fun to meet you :)

[@valk-photography]

I also enjoyed meeting you ... saw you and the group several times in the distance ....... a wonderful first time in the Faroes ..... only our first encounter with the locals was in Saksun, not a warm welcome but after hearing different stories from other locals we can put it all together ...( the government invites the whole world on private land without compensation ) ..... Hope to see you again in the future !

[@jamesscarborough9545]

@@valk-photography Yes, I heard the farmer in Saxsun like to shoot drones out of the sky!

[@richardduckworth859]

Another great video. All your videos are so professionally done--love the music. I missed this location on our trip in May but had a great time in spite of rain 6 out of 13 days. We got caught in a heavy snow storm on the mountain road to Seydisfjordur. It a bit of a scary drive but I would do it again.

[@PhilippeNoth]

About when to go, but to the Faroe Islands... I chose to visit them in March-April after I saw your video series and did not regret it one second: loved the brown tones, the occasional sprinkle of snow, the empty roads and spots, the great deal I got for the hotel...

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Very happy you enjoyed your tour :)

[@JeniaFabisuk]

Great video and amazing photos! I actually think that the snow on the second photo contributes to the mood and doesn't distract.

[@ronchapmanII]

I have been really loving these videos, I usually watch them on my tv with my firestick so I am not able to leave messages but defiantly wanted to get the map since I am hoping to visit for the 1st time in July

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thanks a lot, Ron. Happy you enjoy the videos! :)

[@CoffeandReviews]

I was just in Iceland and I went because of you. It was a photographer’s paradise. Thanks for all the videos.

[@molopez619]

It’s legit the Mecca of landscape photography

[@jamesscarborough9545]

@@molopez619 It's a toss up between the Faroe Islands and Iceland's west Fjords.

[@ottowalch7233]

Thank you, Mads for your brilliant films and photos. My proposal for your questions: removing the big snow pile in the film round 9:20. Taking only the right part of the photo vertical. The surrounding rocks are not here, but the snow pile is similar to the right waterfall and the three falls dominate. Cleaning photos I find good. But not to much.

[@wolfsheadphotographic2521]

Really interesting to see your workflow from start to finish.

[@JaypeaFoto]

Great video and lovely shots.

[@Jack-se2iz]

Fabulous photography. Thank you so much!

[@krakentowa8727]

I really liked the shot from the lower area near the waterfall. Thanks for your videos Mads, you make me eager to visit Iceland and other similar areas for a photography holiday. I’m from Western Australia, so traveling that far is a big deal in both time and money-but I am keen to get there with preliminary plans for next year. Your info about what season to come was useful.

[@Smithlandia]

I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thanks a lot, I will!

[@arielalejandrogarma3672]

Is really really beautiful congratulations 👏👏👏

[@savagefrieze4675]

Another great video. If I could afford a workshop you are hands down the person I’d want to go with.

[@molopez619]

Savage Frieze definitely agree. He’s got a lot of knowledge on the lands and his work is amazing.

[@scotty4418]

Great episode Mads and loved the way how you transformed the images with your edits. Even though the snow in the second image was not to your liking, I thought the framing with the cave was still beautiful

[@molopez619]

scotty4418 well said bro. I definitely agree

[@phila3884]

Just photographed there in the winter. I git a tip from the hostess at the Vestrahorn Lodge, otherwise I would never have know it existed. The waterfall was frozen and I got lucky with an quarter moon aurora overhead and perfectly clear skies.

[@riadefontana]

I like your passion for photography !!! and wish you continued success.

[@martincutrone5816]

Beautiful photos, well done. Although it would have been nice to have the snow gone from the second photo, it is still a beautiful image, and portrays the scene as it was currently, when you were there, something I believe in in my photography. I always love your work and your enthusiasm!

[@PMCN53]

I love your Video Logs, your enthusiasm is contagious! Hope to get to Iceland in the next few years. PS: I love the map you have constructed, it shows your vast knowledge of this beautiful place on Earth. Cheers -🇦🇺

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you so much, Phil! I hope you get there too :)

[@futureexperience]

Thanks for sharing your recommendation on best travel time of year. I'm heading there end of July so I'll have to suffice with the midnight sun, but hopefully it just provides a different set of photographic discoveries to capture.

[@molopez619]

futureexperience I’m sure you’ll still get some amazing images!

[@futureexperience]

Moises Lopez Photography thanks very much!

[@jamesscarborough9545]

I just got back, Biggest mistake I made was not photographing the sun rise and sunset at midnight to 3 am. I usually was exhausted from traveling all day. Try to stay up late to shoot.....Which means you may have to sleep some in the day. I got up and out a couple nights but due to moving from an AirBnB everyday to the next was not able to sleep days.

[@futureexperience]

James Scarborough gotcha. Hopefully I can do the same and there are some blackout curtains. I’m doing a photo workshop so hopefully they have that built into the timing of shoots

[@cjiang2364]

Thx Mads, you video always so informative, and of course great photos!!! Hope I can go in early November this year!!!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

I hope so too :) thanks a lot!

[@multipleman78]

Both Mads and Iceland just keep on delivering.

[@paullachapelle7477]

Thank's for the time suggestion !

[@peterowbottom1110]

Great video, I've shot that waterfall myself and only managed to get full framing on the inside of the cave area by using 14mm, beautiful place though, shooting downstream low looking up to the falls worked well too

[@molopez619]

Pete Rowbottom I personally liked the low angle image. All great photos!

[@hansgunnaraslaksen7290]

Great to see how you imagine the end result in field, capture the data, and finish the image in PS. Great work flow!

at 9:20 how did you add the side light? i like the way it lights the subject also.

[@omranabdullah8743]

So beautiful

[@WayneMoran]

How in the world did you elongate the mountain on the top?

[@molopez619]

I agree with removing the snow. Although it gives the image character, it takes away from the subject. Which you said was the waterfall. I’ll keep this in mind with my future videos and images.

[@MichaelSlaunwhite]

Nice job. Someday I will get there.

[@emanuelepalumbo4334]

As always great video Mads the south of Iceland is just stunning, the best location for me is Múlagljúfur (I haven't been to Iceland I just scouted some location on Google Earth), are you going to make a video about that location (If you've visited it) ?

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Already visited, but that canyon have become a symbol of keeping certain locations secret (although I find it unnecessary and hypocritical, because everyone already knows where it is and it's not as fragile as people make it out to be) and I honestly fear a lot of those people would freak havoc if I showed it on KZbin.

[@emanuelepalumbo4334]

@@MadsPeterIversen all of what you say is true but I think that this keeping this place secret will end in a couple of years and it will become a place like Skogafoss or so

[@MadsPeterIversen]

@@emanuelepalumbo4334 I don't think that'll happen. It's too much of an effort to get up there. It'll only be landscape photographers who bother to go up there, just to confirm each other that this is a sacred place that no one else should visit ;)

Hi Mads ...big fan here (both of your work and Iceland ) . Quick question : Have you been to the Westfjords during your trips ? And if so , have you been on the "Strandir " area ? I would love to see your photos specially from Djupavik and the surrounding mountains !

@@MadsPeterIversen upsss forgot about those :) If you ever get the chance (not that far away from the ring road ) please give Djupavik a try .

Thanks once again for keep showing these great location and "convince" me to go back again :)

Great tutorial, and I was surprised to see a beautiful composition without twelve photographers lined up with their tripods:). Amazing work and I appreciate your perspective and creativity.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

There are plenty of locations not full of other photographers :)

Mads Peter Iversen just purchased your map- very useful for planning and well organized by categories.

[@garthkipping2755]

Mads, totally agree with your spring snow feelings. Winter snow is fine but patchy, dirty spring snow has to go.

Garth Kipping I approve this message.

What's your recommended tripod and head? I am headed to Iceland in December and don't own a proper tripod at all.

You are too harsh on yourself. I like snow patched mountains, beautiful but not distracting.

im just worried all the photographers end up going at the same time =p

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Nothing to worry about, Iceland is big and can easily handle many photographers :)

[@jamesscarborough9545]

Go in the summer and shoot during the late day hours into the early morning, No buses full of tourist and few people around.

[@p7105550]

This was the best kept secret. Btw the farmer who owns this has bad temper and does not like tourists. You can verify with the local who probably showed you this foss

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Best kept secret? Never heard about that.
