When the 100-400mm zoom lens is better than a Wide-Angle Lens

[@utomotjipto5294]

Not many photographers willing to admit in their video that they have missed the Magic Light. Really appreciate your honesty 😊👍. Very informative vlog on using 100-400mm. Thumbs Up !!

[@bondgabebond4907]

I'd be happy to be where you are, even without a camera. The scenery and fog excite my nerves. It takes that normal scene during a regular day and creates something new, scary, wonderful. Keep enjoying your love of photography.

[@JaypeaFoto]

That sunset behind the tree is super cool. I love the shot with the purple flowers and you standing under the tree. The way the fog creates layers in the forest is very nice.

[@SteveP_2426]

You are right re England too Mads. I had a similar experience couple of weeks ago - on the forecast of possible fog, got up at 3am, drove for 75mins, walked up to top of a hill near Corfe Castle and suddenly im in a fantasy realm as the sun started to rise. So many mist/fog compositions with layers upon layers in the distance. best conditions I've ever had so know how you felt. Glad I took my 70-200mm up with me! :-)

[@p382742937423y4]

Much fun to see you man. Love the happiness over the location and the weather. ❤

[@InDogsITrust]

Your enthusiasm and excitement are contagious! I live in the northern USA. When I head out for dramatic winter daybreak photoshoots, I often set up two tripods, one with a body and wide angle zoom lens and the other with a body and telephoto zoom lens. As the light and scene changes, I just go between the two setups to capture different perspectives and compositions of the area.

[@emanonmuc7762]

What a joy to be surrounded by such landscapes.

[@bradzaruba9686]

I thoroughly enjoyed this, in part, due to how excited you were in describing the scenery. I also like the drone footage while you were talking.

[@seantomlinson3320]

Great evidence why the right answer for "what lens for landscape photography" is all of them - need the flexibility the zoom duo, preferably trio, provide depending on what the light does. What neat shot.

[@briandecasa5444]

I love how genuinely excited you were when you found your composition

[@isabelladavis1363]

Wow! Yes the scene does remind me of the Smoky Mountains stunning layer after layer. But my favorite is the purple heather with the tree and the subject nestled under it...beautiful worl my friend!

[@chryseass.5143]

Your joy is infectious ,Mads! I have been lucky enough to be able to borrow a friend's Sony 100-400 GM and am stunned by the capabilities of that lens. It hasn't been off my camera body since I got it.

[@Taldrogo]

Couldn't stop smiling, looking at you so excited while the drone captured you. This is why I love photography

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Hehe, yes, it was a fantastic evening and beautiful experience :)

[@MegaMaskedrider]

That reaction at 9:15 contuining is priceless, every true photographer is feeling you in this moment. :)

[@Daneunfltrd]

The shots you got were amazing. You really know your stuff!

[@isabelladavis1363]

I’m always amazed at what lies in our own back yard...thank as always Mads for your enthusiasm and the time spent to offer such wonderful videos...as well as learning lessons...stay blessed!

[@MrEnglishgolfer]

That first black and white photo of the tree lines is amazing!

[@erichstocker4173]

You are right about the Smoky Mountain look. The Appalachians in Tenn/NC often look just like those photos in Denmark that you took. Great photos and excellent video.

[@jpopenimage]

Hi Mads, this is why I really love your channel ... it shows that you are enjoying your time :) and having fun. Seeing this put a big smile on my face also, thanks and keep spreading the joy of photography.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thanks a lot, João, it's hard not to be excited in such amazing conditions 😁

[@bhargavgadhvi1717]

You have an exceptional vision for photographing epic landscapes. I am always amazed by your photos. Great work!

[@RussWeymouthPhotography]

The photos of the layers of fog flowing through the trees creates so much depth, absolutely gorgeous 🙂

[@AristeidisSfakianos]

When I saw the photo with the purple bush and the silhouette under the tree you got my immediate like! What a shot!!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thanks a lot, Aris, it turned out really good :)

[@ccoopify]

Appreciate your enthusiasm and appreciation for whats available to you. Living in the Smoky Mountains I appreciate the foggy “smoky” look.

[@davidecastagno3607]

The shots with the fog were astonishing... my compliments

[@LeeVideo]

Your fun and excited personality accentuated your photography.

[@maxencelemoine4190]

the last three photographs, especially, the vertical composition is gorgous ! I love the black and white layers fading in the distance !

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you! I also really appreciate those. Very unique to see that in Denmark :)

[@裴浩宏]

This is just beautiful! Landscape photographer : To Make the Life Beautiful! Amazing location, wonderful experience!

[@scotty4418]

Those final images Mads with the trees are beautiful and in those moments the sense of well being must be fabulous. A fantastic episode and a real pleasure to share in your enjoyment in the moment

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you so much, Jim! As per usual I really appreciate your supportive comments :)

[@GuitarJUNO]

wow! it is really amazing nature pictures! super cool!!!

[@Dreyno]

I’ve always found telephoto easier to compose than wide angle. I struggle to simplify wide angle compositions. But I can pick out “mini” compositions with a telephoto easily.

[@joehall7869]

What a wonderful moment in time to capture.

[@NakedInSeattle]

Your enthusiasm is contagious! Thank you.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you, Larry! Appreciate it 😊

[@De8u55y]

Clever and inspirational! Thank you Mads. Lots of patience is required for these breathtaking results.

[@ashleywilliams9890]

Enthusiasm for the win. Glad someone gets as excited at epic conditions as I do! Fanatic video Mads!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you so much, Ashley! Happy to hear I'm not the only one :)

[@matssandquist9258]

Lovely. We had three mornings with fantastic fog here in Sweden in my neighbour hood but of course Murphy rules. This week I am working 100% again.

[@bmkq2007]

Its indeed the most spectacular compositions i have ever seen from this place. Absolute gorgeous photographs mate.

[@robb7849]

This was such a wonderful video to watch, thanks for sharing Mads!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

I am so very happy to hear that! One of the highlights of 2020 and such a nice surprise :)

Thanks a lot, Joe! I better take some nerve medicine 😅

[@TheReal_Sn0w_Wolf]

Wow, that was so epic. Great shooting and video!

[@nigelbramley4188]

Stunning inspirational imagery and enthusiasm. How a KZbin channel should be. Excellent stuff

[@ChrisPattonPhotography]

Wow what a fantastic hill top location, you've picked out some really nice compositions with the long lens. The foggy conditions look great with those trees.

[@fateful30stm]

It's such a pleasure to watch your videos 😌

[@echotube2000]

One of those instances of being in the right location at the right time. Even with luck on your side, recognising how to get the best shots under these conditions requires skill, experience and knowledge. Great video 👍😍. Derek. Sydney.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thanks a lot, Derek! And yes, a bit of luck definitely plays in!

[@TheCWO]

Your enthusiasm at 9:00 is seriously uplifting!

[@kevindickinson3600]

Love those atmospheric photos!!

[@Gilmourdom]

Telephoto’s give the best option to fill the frame with the content you want, where you want it. Great video Mads as always 👍

[@johnforbes4795]

I'm about to take a few day trip to Rocky Mountain National Park around Estes Park, CO. I've been struggling with which lenses to I carry on my hikes. Your video has led me to taking my 24-105mm and my 100-400mm. It's a very delightful video.

[@aboynamedjamil]

That drone shot at 9:06 is just amazing!!!! Wow! Mads!!

[@JohnPaul-ii]

Photo at 12.15 WOW, simply WOW. Should make a great print. Thanks for sharing again Mads.

[@DavidH-fz8ky]

I feel a desperate need to see a video, again by you, describing how this video was created. The drone footage is but one example (albeit a prime one) of amazing techniques. In addition to being educational, this video was a joy to watch. Many thanks!

[@patrickzeelen1870]

It's always a pleasure to watch and learn from your videos dear Mads, my favorite pictures were those beautiful soft colors of the skies with the silouettes, really amazing 👌

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you so much, Patrick! I really appreciate it. It was such an interesting night as I really had to adapt to the situation :)

[@renagoodfriend-leve9443]

You have got my interest in my 100-400 again. Just need the R5 to use it on. With the adaptor. Great to see you, shooting from your local areas Peter.

[@Berry_N]

I'm in the US and things are so dark and dreary here. Thanks for such an upbeat and wonderful video, I enjoyed it very much!

[@paullachapelle7477]

Stunning...Wow...

[@joel.wuestehube]

Oh Boy this video is the best help for me right now. Now I'm sure I'll sell my 70-200f4 for the sigma 100-400 and add the 24-105 to my kit as well. Especially looking forward using it in the autumn for woodland photography

[@jeremywilson8192]

Great video Mads. I love your enthusiasm, it's infectious! And brilliant photos by the way.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thanks a lot, Jeremy :)

Great video as usual Mads. Loved to see how exited you were the those conditions. Would love to do one of your workshops someday 👍

[@johnherzel718]

I surprised myself at the beach one evening with my 70-300, I just left the 18-35 in the bag and got so many good shots that I would have never even seen with just a wide lens!

[@thomassch.4110]

Just love it when the clouds are catching fire shortly after sunset 😍 These moments are just awesome! ... especially when all the other photographers already packed their stuff and are about to leave... If I learned something concerning sunsets it's always to stay until the very end until ALL light is gone 🙂

[@MadsPeterIversen]

You're absolutely right, I've made the same experience. Suddenly the sky can catch fire out of nowhere :)

[@LozejNina]

I guess that's the beauty of exploring your own country in every season... I also didn't know it gets so foggy in summer in Slovenia as it did this year :) very nice video as always, please don't take the Nerve medicines, your excitement is contageous and inspiring! :)

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Yes! I absolutely love how you find out your own country is so beautiful. And I bet you have SO much en Slovenia :) And those trolls just ought to know how my mind works ;)

Wow awesome Mads! I think you've shot THE best photos I've seen so far this year, incredible, loved the atmospheric beauty you captured and the Heat/Michael Mann 'esque music was worthy of such epic scenery, absolutely stunning, it doesn't get much better than this haha. Great to see your enthusiasm and excitement too it really came across well in this video.

Ooooh that was lovely - so awesome to see and feel your excitement at the beautiful conditions. I live in a spectacular but dry, prickly and harsh part of NW Australia. We only get clouds for about 3 months of the year....and the occasional fog or mist has me running around with the camera like a crazy thing :D
