JOSHUA TREE NATIONAL PARK - Landscape Photography USA, California

[@joedavies1524]

Just watched this entire USA series. Very enjoyable, it is informative, instructive and inspirational. Superb in every way. Many thanks Mads for all your work and effort in making this (and the other!) series. Cheers. Joe.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you so much Joe! I'm very happy you liked the series :)

[@peterkolejak]

I only found out about your youtube channel days ago, but how amazed i was when i started watching. Last few days i went through your Iceland series and now just finished USA. Every day i could not wait for the evening so i can finally watch next episode(s), it almost got me addicted :) What a great work and combination of beauty, photography and travel knowledge. Thank you for that Mads, keep it up, amazing effort.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you so much for such kind words! Very happy you feel like that in regard to my videos :)

[@JaypeaFoto]

Wow wow what stunning pictures. A world photo book series would be amazing.

[@bryanhaakenson1640]

Your US series on the National Parks was excellent and well edited. You certainly made the most of your 40 days in the States.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you so much, Bryan. Means a lot! It was an absolute blast of a tour and I can't wait to repeat it!

[@edwardlee1815]

Mads, you truly did justice in your images of our National Parks. Thanks for sharing and wishing you and your the very best in your future videos.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you so much Edward! That's such a sweet comment :) I'm happy to hear you and other people like my photos :)

[@dwelker3778]

Thanks for passing along the wisdom you gained from your errors to explore the park before deciding on your shots. I have really enjoyed your series on the USA and have come to appreciate the variety that we have in our country. You are an inspiration.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

You're very welcome and thanks a lot, it was an absolute blast to visit the US! :)

[@Jon_Godfrey]

I love the way you are candid about your errors as well as the positives. You're helping others that way. Excellent series. I can't wait for the next one. :-)

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Jon Godfrey thanks a lot. Yeah I think that's very important :)

[@Jon_Godfrey]

you're right but many Vloggers wouldn't share that. If you help prevent one person making the same decision it's good but you might avoid hundreds... and it adds great value to your Videos. :-) Love your work, Mads.... oh, and yes extra images at the end is a great idea. People can skip if they want but I loved them. :-)

[@1968WadeR]

Thank you! Great series. I live on the West Coast and these places are in my backyard and I never thought about visiting these locations and your series has inspired me!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

That's so cool Randall! I'm happy I've inspired you :)

[@theresarice7289]

I'll be in Joshua Tree in October and , until now, really had no idea what to expect there. Thanks!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Theresa Rice you're welcome! There's much more than what I presented in this video though ;) But good luck! It's a beautiful place!

[@michaelhegemeyer2827]

I really enjoyed your trip through the U.S. and will continue to follow your wanderings, thanks for sharing.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

You're very welcome Michael and I'm happy you enjoyed the series :)

[@Lejollasse]

Peter, I discovered your channel not so long ago and I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate it. Thanks for your advice, your maps, your feedback, I can stop to watch the US and the Island when I started it. Keep doing that wonderful work, your inspired me that for sure and very soon I ll be on the US road to try to make some of those beautiful photos on my own. If I well understand you on another Island serie so I cant wait to see that.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

You're most welcome, Joel! and I hope you'll get a great tour through the US! The next Iceland series starts Tuesday :)

[@photog1529]

Wow...that was incredible work...and an equally incredible soundtrack. I'm actually in Joshua Tree now...hope I can do it justice.

[@bkd9511]

Mads, I've been re-watching your videos. Just BREATHTAKING!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you SO much Brian! Very happy to hear that :)

[@travellingironhat]

I know it's an old Playlist - but I have to say - this is exactly that what I am searching for a long time. It will be a big Insperation for my 8-week usa-trip in Feburary 2022 alone. And thx for sharing all the amazing photos inkl. the exif-details - thx alot.

[@bradzaruba9686]

Having lived in Utah and Idaho I loved experiencing your trip and now look forward to heading to Europe. Thanks for all the images and the treat you provided at the end! Now in Missouri I can't wait to get back west.

[@bradzaruba9686]

Mads, I just watched the series for a second time and really enjoyed it. My wife's family is from southern Utah, near Zion National Park, so I especially enjoyed the Utah portion of the videos. This series was the catalyst for watching your videos moving forward. Continue the marvelous work in 2020. Your KZbin friend in Missouri, USA.

[@emptysuit]

One of my favorite things as a photographer is to wake to a new KZbin alert from your page Mads. My friends tell me I am obsessed with photography and as long as I follow great artists like you and Thomas the obsession will continue. Thank you for everything!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thanks a lot Will! Aren't we all a bit obsessed with our craft ;) You're very welcome and look forward to the Europe videos. They'll be really great too!

[@FabrizioZago]

Another great serie of images. I like the choice of a telephoto lens, you delivered a different view of the subject with this choice. The trip in the USA was one of my favourite trip, I would like to go back in future.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Fabrizio Zago - Photography and Media thanks :) Yeah I think they turned out pretty cool :)

[@petermcarthur9140]

what a great series Mads thoroughly enjoyed it

[@MadsPeterIversen]

I'm very happy you liked it Peter! So many hours went into making it, so very happy people like it :)

[@LozejNina]

When I see Joshua tree I always remember the legendary music album by U2 :D well done with the last video, which makes for a nice conclusion... I liked that in the end you included many pics that did not appear in videos yet, but are still so amazing! Looking forward to the new videos from Europe :) Cheers!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thanks a lot Nina! Yeah I like to make a good conclusion :) I guess I need to listen to some more U2, they've never really caught my attention, but it's a pretty cool cover!

[@jongrall]

Amazing series finale, Mads! Can't wait to see what's next for your channel!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thanks a lot Jon and thanks for following along! :) The next two videos are already done and they're really good if I can say so myself ;)

[@Berry_N]

Just finished watching the US series. Amazing to see these locations through your lens (lenses 😉) - the photos are so inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@JB-ym2yy]

Hello Mads. I'm probably as sad as you are to see your expedition end. I'm confident you had a trip of a life time here in the United States. Come back again real soon.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Hi John. Yeah it was indeed a trip of a lifetime! I'd love to come back one day! That's for sure :)

[@thatdamnmackem]

Truly inspirational, many thanks for sharing, Brian

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thanks a lot Brian :)

[@JamesLPhoto]

Mads, I just wanted to say that I've really enjoyed watching all of your videos. It's great how you strike a balance between being thorough with the important details while also staying visually exciting with all of your beautiful imagery and footage. Bravo, and keep it up!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thanks a lot James! I'm happy you appreciate the format :)

[@reneuhlmann]

Your shown pictures are incredible!!!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thanks a lot René! Much appreciated :)

[@ArnaudFosset]

Mads, you are definetly my master in photography ! thank you so much for all those videos !

[@MadsPeterIversen]

FOSSET Arnaud you are very welcome! I'm happy you liked them and followed along :D

[@gilwood7530]

The trees are amazing but those rocks freak me out !

[@vproven]

Incredibly beautiful images. Thank you for sharing.

[@GreenhornPhototaker]

What a truly wonderful series Mads, so happy I found these. I hope you come back one day, would love to see what you can do with the Rocky Mountains or New England. I know many of these National Parks can get over crowded, but with a little less sleep the crowds truly thin out (as many of your videos displayed). And thank you for routinely mentioning that rules should be followed.

[@michaelbuda5820]

Awesome videos, thanks so much for providing this series. I will be heading there next year with my family so I have got so much inspiration from your videos

[@stevepenfold7167]

Been following you for a few weeks and just found this vid, first I've seen of you being in USA. I first visted the US in 2017, went for the eclipse and spent 2 months travelling around, 19 states, easily the best trip of my life, just watching this vid hasbrought it all back and made my eyes sparkly.... :) Unfortunately I wasn't seriously into photography then but it was that trip that got me into photography, realising that what I captured didnt do it justice , and wanting to learn more, get a proper camera etc. This video was amazing, can't wait to catch up on the rest, and can't wait to visit America again . Keep up the great work!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thanks for the kind words, Steve. I feel the same when I watch my USA videos. Was such a fantastic experience! :)

[@NoyesDesignsjewelry]

amazing series. loved every episode

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you so much, Nick! Means a lot :)

[@DaleEurich]

A great series. Look forward to more videos!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Dale Eurich much appreciated! :) There'll be lots of more :)

[@bornforadventureie]

Beautiful series of videos, the USA landscape is perfect and soo beautiful.Your photos -NO.1 awesome :-D

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thanks a lot Jiri! Always much appreciated :)

[@keithswindell6212]

Mads, this is a great series on the Western US. Your video and still images are both great. I hope you get to visit the Rockies soon.

[@kaihornung1660]

Thanks so much for this amazing series, Mads! Truly inspiring. Makes me want to get back to the USA a long time after my last visit.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

You're very welcome Kai :) You should, you definitely should :)

[@nmuguy]

Excellent series! The eastern part of the USA also has some incredible landscape opportunities. The

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you Phil! I would really like to know more about the eastern US :)

[@unclebob7902]

Hi Mads, what a trip. Beautiful images and as always a flawless presentation.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thanks again Bob! :)

[@billbaker4970]

Love your work keep it coming.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thanks Bill! Will do :)

[@JamesStevensonPhoto]

Hey Mads, been following your work for some time on Elia's workshop facebook group! Finally getting around to watching your back catalogue. Wow. Just the consistency of quality, effort in uploading regular content and variety of places you've visited... so much to enjoy and be inspired by here. I'm just getting started myself and this is certainly great to watch, thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you very much James! And your first video is really, really great! :) How did you make that map, walking trail effect in the beginning? :)

[@DaveFiles]

Mads, great series with lots of beautiful photography and location ideas. Thanks for sharing!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

You're very welcome Dave! Happy you liked it!

[@ericpmoss]

4:15 is my favorite of the Joshua Tree series -- I just love the southwest evening skies.

Thank you very much Eric! Yes it's so beautiful!

Absolutely awesome series on this part of the USA, there was a truck load of stunning images for us all to enjoy. Thank you for all your work Mads.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you very much, Greg!

[@vincentfong4949]

Amazing Mads! I like your content because it's concise, informative and not wasting time talking all sorts of other stuff. And of course, amazing pics! Really inspiring. Looking forward to see more from you. Cheers!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you Vincent :) I'm happy you like the format! I hate wasting people's time and I hate wasting my time watching a 16min landscape photography vlog where it's mostly chitty chat... :P

[@kevins8575]

Wonderful recap of your USA trip. Beautiful work and so nicely presented!

[@LAALPETE]

I really enjoyed watching this series Mads. Thanks very much for your fantastic videos and invaluable information.

Great stuff Mads. It looks like you had an epic adventure, thank you for sharing your images with us.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

I had indeed! Absolutely epic! And thanks a lot :)

[@tonyturner7676]

A great series of videos, Mads. Truly stunning.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thanks a lot Tony!

[@GlenDomulevicz]

I finished your USA series. I really enjoyed them, the images, your insight and advice. I have a long way to go to catch up with the other services but I will continue. Thanks for sharing.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

I'm very happy you enjoyed the series! :)

[@skarabaeus]

Some of the best shots you kept from us till the very end ;-) nice series and great inspiration!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

It's about keeping the aces in the sleeve ;) Which ones do you particularly like? :)

[@skarabaeus]

Mads Peter Iversen the ones at 5:42, 5:59, 6:04 for example :)

[@MadsPeterIversen]

skarabaeus cool, always nice to hear people's opinions :)

[@TommyRustad]

Mads! Jeg likte virkelig godt denne serien. Vi skal selv til denne delen av USA for å ta bilder seinere i år. Dette var både nyttig, artig og viktig :-) Tusen takk!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Du er velkommen, Tommy! Er glad for den hjalp med planlægningen :)

[@thejespr]

Great end to the series :) have been fun following along from chatting with you while in SF and Portland and seeing your videos after :) looking forward to the Europe series

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thanks a lot Jesper! Yeah it's been a long journey and a really cool way extending it beyond the actual traveling! The first two Europe videos are already done, just waiting for the next tuesdays ;)

[@lieutenantlettuce5910]

Always love those montages of pictures at the end of a series 😀

[@MadsPeterIversen]

ruzlan karim good to hear :) They'll probably continue ;)

[@nickswisher6759]

Fantastic photos and video, I just got back from a western U.S road trip and it was a fantastic experience. There were so many destinations I didn't visit and it seems like I could do so many more trips and visit completely new locations. I enjoyed all the photos you showed at the end of the video, keep up the great work!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thanks a lot Nick! Yeah I feel totally the same! Could make the entire same trip and only visit new locations :)

[@bobwallis1757]

Mads, you are an incredible photographer! Thank you so much for your videos. I heard you say that you hope to visit Idaho. This is my home state. When you arrive be sure to visit Shoshone Falls, Shoshone Ice caves, Blue Heart Spring on the Snake river, Leslie Gulch (my fav), the Payette river from McCall down to Horseshoe Bend and the northern lakes, Coeur D' Alene, Pend Oreille and Priest Lake. Thank you again for your teaching and inspiration!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you very much for all the inputs! I will check them all out :)

[@SirTristram1965]

Hi Mads, I have avidly followed your USA Series of videos not only to see how you took your fabulous shots but more importantly in Mid September my wife and I will start our 90 days in the States. I will be visiting almost all of the same sites as you did and these videos will be an enduring lesson for me during my shoots. As you mentioned, you do hear people say that visiting these sites are a waste of time as you'll never get a "unique" image as the area's have been shot to death. But I will say to them ..."It's unique to me" and the only person my photos have to please is me. Hopefully and if I'm lucky, I'll come away with an image or two up to your standards. BTW, when are you coming to Australia? Regards John

[@MadsPeterIversen]

That sounds like an absolutely amazing journey you're about to start! I'm very happy that my videos have helped out in the planning and that you've learned something from them! :) I don't have any plans for Australia yet, I would love to go there though, but it is a very expensive trip and I have to prioritize my money for now :/

[@ddrsi4663]

Fantastic video. Gorgeous images!

[@tomclemons344]

Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent with us. I've watched a great number of your videos, and I've learned a lot just from watching. Hope you get a chance to return to USA. In mid September, I'm heading to Utah for 15 days of camping/photographing the National Parks.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

You are very welcome Tom and I'm happy you've learned something :) I'm quite jealous of your trip! Utah is so absolutely stunning!

[@danfrancis7196]

Hi Mads, I've really enjoyed watching this series over the last couple of days, thanks a lot for the uploads! I was in US a couple of years ago, probably not long after you were there, but I only went to Yosemite out of all the places you presented, and you're right, it is a paradise! It looks like there are so many more amazing places I should visit though, and would love to return.

[@lintownboy]

Great video as always my friend

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you Christian :)

[@pauloamaral668]

Its another amazing video!!!! Thks

[@BOSJBR]

Nice video series. Well done.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Belchior Santiago thanks a bunch!

[@ciarahutchinson]

A brilliant series of videos Mads! I've been to a few of the places you visited and it was seeing these places that made me want to take up photography. It felt like a waste to only be taking iPhone pictures of such stunning locations. Problem is now I have a camera I need to go back to them all again 😂 Love how you gave so many tips throughout the series, if/when I get to visit those locations I'll be watching again to take notes 😀

[@MadsPeterIversen]

I'm really happy you enjoyed the series Ciara! And it's such a luxury problem to have to go back ;) I'm a bit jealous of Americans when you have so relatively easy access to these beautiful locations!

[@ciarahutchinson]

Mads Peter Iversen I'm American but live in the UK so it's about as easy to get there as it is for you! Luckily I tend to head over there at least once a year to explore 😀

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Ah! Ok :) Well England is really awesome too! Actually going there very soon :)

[@Higgins_Nature_Photographer]

Excellent series of videos and great info on all of these amazing locations in the U.S. I really like the way you narrate your videos and share info on lens needed, best time of day and everything else you include. I live here in the USA and have not been able to visit some of these national parks. I'm quite inspired to go out and photograph some of these beautiful locations after viewing your videos. I plan on watching all your videos on many of the other countries you have visited. When do you plan on returning to the United States and visiting Colorado along with other locations?

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thanks a lot, very happy you enjoy the format. For now I don't have any plans to visit the US. I would love to go, but I have to think a bit economical when it comes to this ;)

[@finedecks]

Great video Mads. Truly stunning how you put it all together. Did you go to Valley of Fire Park near LasVegas? Cheers

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Clemens Jellema thanks so much! Sadly no. I did have my eye on it but not before we had left Bryce. I considered driving back, but other locations were prioritized ;)

[@finedecks]

In other words you got to go back to the USA!!! I'm in the construction business here around Washington DC and travel across the USA to teach photography for deckbuilders to create better portfolios on their websites and see a lot of places. I just started to put a website together only for landscape photography. Check it out, love to hear from a pro like you what you think. It is: www.clemensportfolio.com Only put some photo's in but no blog, about me etc yet but I hope you like it. Clemens

Great series

[@flolindley]

Brilliant as always! Can't wait for future videos. Thinking of getting the 17-55mm 2.8 for my cropped sensor dslr...is it worth the money?

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Flo Lindley thanks :) That lens is really good! I owned it myself but it was stolen along with my 70D some years ago...

[@catrinajamello2103]

Wow! I'm from California and you captured the west coast so beautifully, thank you! The last picture over a chasm with the milky way, where was that?

Thank you! :) That's Meteor Crater :)

[@Andrewstevensonphoto]

Amazing videos Mads. You are one of my true inspiration. I am just finishing my faroe islands trip. watched every one of your videos. loved it. What is the name of the background score you use in this videos ? they are perfect.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you Andrew. The music is composed by Alexander Hitchens and is called Bravery and New Horizons.

I will be in JT early February and enjoyed this video. What camera(s) did you use? Lenses? Thanks!

Great Photos. I love it! We go this fall to the USA in many parcs. which music do you use at 05:40? Thanks and greets from Switzerland.

[@dmac5x1]

Peter, I really enjoy your videos; please keep them coming. I make a lot of videos also and I am very impressed with the music you use with yours. Would it be possible for you to name where you get your music?
