Landscape Photography in Iceland - Episode 14 - Arnarstapi, Snaefellsnes

Fabulous videos with so much information too. Looking forward to episode 15.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thanks very much Tim! :) It'll be out on Tuesday :)

[@timswaysland8382]

fabulous news. :o)

[@andykeeble1]

Another excellent and informative video which contains some beautiful images. Many thanks for posting this Mads. Anyone considering a visit to Iceland should watch all of the videos in the series.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Andy Keeble thanks Andy :) Yeah that's my intention. I'm making a series of video's I'd have loved to see myself :)

[@andykeeble1]

You are certainly succeeding Mads. This series really is superb and a must watch for anyone headed for Iceland! Well done mate.🍀👍

Again a very interesting video Mads! I am using them to plan my next trip to Iceland, thx a lot!

[@utpalkrdeka]

Awesome

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thanks :)

[@danemullinax]

This series is SO incredibly helpful. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for this. I have watched the entire series twice, as I prepare to go to Iceland for the first time very soon.

[@danemullinax]

I found this series from your instagram account. Somebody I follow (I can't recalll who) shared your photo, or mentioned you in a comment or something. Then I found your account, and then I saw you mentioned Iceland videos. They have been SO helpful.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

I'm so happy to hear that Dane! Thank you, means a lot :)

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Fantastic! Always good to know where the traffic comes from ^_^

[@thepranjulgarg]

Such a amazing location, over it your shooting of it gave goosebumps.

[@patrickwaddell9615]

First of your vids i’ve seen and it’s brilliant! Thanks so much for adding locations/directions and the ‘best time to go’ part.

[@davekelly8168]

Your sense of humour is wicked, I was in stitches when you warn folk of the dangers of this awe inspiring place. I've subscribed and I am currently watching your videos. Hope to be done by mid August lol...

[@tonyhansom3160]

A very good video, information and very good photos. Keep up the good work.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you Tony, I'm happy you liked it :)

[@ronaldquan8007]

Wow just beautiful, awesome that you went down there! :)

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Ronald Quan thank you :)

[@cholizgz9999]

Amazing serie!!! I'm going to watch every single video because I've loved them. And obviously I suscribe

[@MadsPeterIversen]

I'm very happy you like them! :) How did you find the series? :)

[@cholizgz9999]

Mads Peter Iversen Looking for Iceland videos. I have a question, how can I protect my camera from water in Seljalandsfoss???

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Very nice :) There's not much to do if you're not owning an underwater house for your camera. If you have a weatherproof camera and lens, then you're probably safe. It also has something to do with the wind.

[@tomasjanuskevicius3665]

Whau..I like your videos...i wathced all Island series:) You inspire me to visit Island:)

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Tomas Januskevicius I'm so happy to hear that Tomas! :)

[@reneuhlmann]

Your photographs are amazing. Like!!!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

René Uhlmann thanks a bunch! :)

[@Nattleby]

Nice! I just got back from Iceland. Between Hellnar and Arnarstapi there is an abandoned farm called Dagvadera. It has a ruin of a stone farmhouse and sits in the shadow of Snæfellsjokull. It is one of my favorite places to photograph, and it is hauntingly beautiful.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

I think I've seen that place, never photographed it though ;)

[@Nattleby]

Mads Peter Iversen Not my photo, but this is the house: www.flickr.com/photos/sigmundurandresson/16147756499 The locals believe the Farm to be haunted and it is a revered landmark in that region.

[@sridipnag1117]

Monumental series

[@poppyspix4444]

good stuff - thanks!

[@TheTravelersPlanet]

Er vild med din video Mads!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Tak Casper :)

[@benvanboom8907]

Hello Mads, I have visited Iceland October 2016 and want to return asap. Your info, video and images are great and very helpfull for my next visit. Like and subscribe. Thank you to put this online. Kind regards, Ben

[@taniac3669]

Hi , always follow you on youtube, love your composition. Planning a trip there , Arnarstapi , but how do you get to Stone bridge from Rock Arch ? My friend was there and he said he couldn’t find stone bridge. Thanks Mads

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thanks, Tania. Well, your friend clearly didn't have my map ;) You just follow the trail towards west :)

[@ronnyolsson2802]

Hi Mads Love your videos ( Wonderful and instructive ( Lärorikt på svenska ) :) Love that last shot in video .. you ? standing on the mountain bridge .. really cool shot ! Ronny //

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thanks a lot Ronny! I'm happy you learned something and yes, that's me :)

[@jibzouth]

Great! Really informative videos, and love all the drone shots. Btw have you been to the hvitserkur rock? (hoping for a video ;) )

[@MadsPeterIversen]

jibzouth Thank alot, glad you like it! Yes I was there, but only once (on my first roundtrip) and I sadly didn't film anything at that time. It's on my to do list, but I have to combine it with another roundtrip, which isn't really the plan in the nearest future ;)

[@jibzouth]

Mads Peter Iversen thank you for the reply! Keep up with the series! Im always super stoked when I see you post a new video. Im probably going to post a few videos myself from the Iceland trip in May.

[@MrGara1994]

great videos! you got a new subscriber! come to américa some day!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thanks alot and welcome aboard ;) I was just in America a couple of months ago - check out my first videos from there ^_^

[@MrGara1994]

oh i will!!

[@pokemonleaker]

Just noticed that the shot at 1:53 was in reverse haha I thought those crazy birds were flying backward xD

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Some very athletic birds, haha! :)

[@pokemonleaker]

Mads Peter Iversen by the way, great videos. Going to Iceland in late April. Does the drone struggle during a windy flight? I have a DJI Mavic. Also, are there flying restrictions in certain areas?

[@tenzinyingchuk5648]

The image in 4:29 - is that Gatklettur?? And as of today, you are not allowed to walk on it?

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Nope, that's a bridge a bit further down the path :)

[@tsrevo1]

3:03 doesn't seem too safe...

[@MyBaselable]

Nej, du kaller Arnastapi en by... det er jo kun knappt nogle 20 huse.... og sà savner jeg bugten af Dritvik...
