The Most Beautiful Photography from Iceland!

The highlands of Iceland is a legendary area. Not everyone can just go here, which makes it even more special. Besides needing a 4x4 there are also several water-passages that can wreck your car. This makes it incredible for a landscape photography adventure and that's what I'll share with you in this video. We visited several different locations that I have not photographed before, so I was quite excited for this trip - the photos turned out beautifully!

Not too shabby! Suffering from RTIMO here (realisation that I missed out)

[@davesusko3517]

I remember in a previous video you used the phrase “tourist elimination skills”. As always thank you for the information and inspiring video.

[@rphandler]

Mads, that is a terrific video and you have every right to brag! Takes me back to August 2017 when I was at Kerlingarfjoll at dawn for gentle first rays and no tourists, and at some of the other sites you so vividly show. I was carrying 3 Sony Nex-7, one with a Samyang f2 12mm, one with a Sony 10-18 f4, and one with a Sony 18-105. Fording rivers is fun with a professional driver in someone else's truck.

[@AnomandarisPurake]

Holy moly! What a video! No faffing about. Just "this is where i am, i want this shot, here is the shot. WOW!" Some incredible images. The drone shots were unbelievable. Your videos lately have made me want to drop everything and visit these places. Thanks for sharing.

[@Joakimcomicscenter]

Some of these photos looked like they came from another planet. Truly amazing.

[@robertwhitemoto]

Mads holds the record for being photographed from behind... the most :) Stunning photography Mads, as usual !!!

[@rlfisher]

Was there at about the same time as you - I think the highlands are the Best of Iceland.

[@satvikmishra3430]

Unreal, the aerial shots are just unreal

[@kevins8575]

Spectacular! Great images and video.

[@stevewashko5963]

borrowing from you, wow, wow, wow

[@trishf29]

Fantastic photos, Mads! Scenery is stunning!

[@Wildwillow76]

That panornama and the colours/light! Sooo good...Thanks for sharing Mads

[@JaypeaFoto]

Talk about out of the world location, as are your photos. Thanks for bringing the world closer to us.

[@cinavik]

Fantastic location, fantastic images

[@rhiannonlawler7313]

Brilliant workshop with you and Jeroen. Thanks as always for your help and humour, I particularly enjoyed the giggling at the start 😂 Now I’ve got fomo of some of the images I should’ve taken…. When’s the next workshop?! 🤔

[@artiedoc]

Well done Mads ! Thanks for the memories 🤩……Until Antarctica….

[@davidaitaliano4261]

Beautiful 😻

[@georgiewanders]

Wow just wow.

[@johnearl2303]

Another beautiful video, you don’t realise what a wonderful world we live in until you see photos like these. What is the music you use on your videos?

[@bbbb6066]

Great video. I have been to kerlingarfjoll at least 4 times. I was there last Aug. and the weather was not that good. But other time I was lucky and the weather was great. Have you been to landmannalaugar. The colors of the hill are good for taking pics. I did the hike form Skogafoss to Thorsmork. You should check this hike out. I have been to Iceland 7 or 8 times and found some interesting areas that are not traveled by. I would love to share my pic with you and know what you think Ben

[@wearetrackclub]

Beautiful indeed! Those views are simply gorgeous! Great video 👏

[@mariamullin4031]

Great video, fantastic photos

[@littlesue2633]

WOW - stunning!

[@darksideemt]

So jealous and makes me want to come to Iceland so much. Not sure my out of shape self could handle all that though....lol. Absolutely beautiful stuff as always!

[@bluestefan77]

Ten years ago I was perfectly alone exactly there in Landmannalaugar hills ❤

[@bartjes2509]

Nice ! I see you almost did the exact same tour as I did in roughly the same time period, only I had more moody weather and drone with issues from flying too close to flowing lava...

[@randyschwager2515]

You killed it again! WOW! Thanks for taking me along!

[@honorab6220]

Another epic video! I particularly enjoyed the drone footage. I thought you'd experienced focus issues with the DJI Air 3 during the eruption. Was this footage captured with the same drone? Were your focusing problems resolved?

[@tjsinva]

Another line item for the bucket list. Carry on. 👍🥂

[@d.fresh.750]

Iceland is so damn EPIC! More spectacular shots, Mads...the colors, textures, and lighting on your one panorama are amazing! Well done, sir.

[@DavesEpicPhoneShots]

I loved all these amazing images! You absolutely nailed it. Beautiful 👍🤩

[@stigfloberghagenphotography]

Great video 🙂👍

[@scarcesense6449]

6:22 is beyond epic

[@valeriomassaro4491]

hello Mads thanks for the beautiful videos you publish, where you feel the passion you have for photography, I follow you with pleasure from Italy, and I would like to know more about the places you visited, there is a map where you can see the places of the videos .thank you

[@AungSoe-bo8dl]

Love your photos and videos

[@denisesavage2382]

Wow - a stunning place. Love those images with one person in the landscape.

[@scotty4418]

What a stunning set of images Mads, especially those drone images. The landscapes are so epic and as you said made for drone photography

[@oliverwhone]

The colours of the landscape at around 5:10... Wow!! Great vlog as always, Mads. Thanks for putting in the effort!

[@PhotoTrekr]

Great shots. Incredible landscapes.

[@PMCN53]

I love your work Mads! I hope to visit Iceland in the next few years, before i get too old to travel 😊 (69yo) Looking forward to the next episode 👍🏻

[@kid4eva94]

Hey man, recent sub here and absolutely loving your photos! Can I ask roughly what settimgs you're using etc? I'll be playing about myself but I'm going to Iceland in a few months for my birthday so wanted a rough idea on what I may need to use. I'll be taking ND filters in case I need them for something more creative (will need to practice as I've not really used them before), and I'll be using my Nikon D850 with 20mm f1.8. That setup should be enough to get some decent shots I hope? Thanks in advance

[@spidersj12]

Madz, my favorite photo is the panorama at 6:27.

[@h2ofrogman]

When will you be doing another work shop in Iceland?

[@sebastianberes]

Nothing short of stunning, thank you!

[@rosacarravilla6208]

Excelente, que imágenes más bellas a mi me gustan todas gracias por compartirlo

[@TheDrYamo]

Thank you for the beautiful shots. What do you think about the DJI mini 3 pro?

[@AmorLucisPhotography]

If even a Danish guy can't pronounce Kerlingarfjoll, pity the rest of us!

[@kentaufderheide8454]

Great video! Awesome photos! All the photos are great but the one at 6:26 is unreal!

[@LambdaHDvideo]

We just visited Kerlingarfjöll and Landmannalaugar a couple weeks ago, and wow, the highlands really are a magical place!

[@RedTick2]

Are you going to try and get some photos of the lava while respecting the locals and all the property losses of course... 😊

[@riedelpedrosa2934]

INCRÍVEL PLACE!

[@infooculta99]

Seu trabalho é impressionante! Parabéns pela ótima habilidade de fotografar!

[@keithguppy]

Love your videos, however, could you throw some rubbish photos in too just so I have the chance to pick a favourite, its kind of hard when they are all epic 😂.

[@bartjes2509]

BTW. Did you travel using a big white minibus, high on the wheels and having a dent in the sideboard ? If yes, we missed each other by just a couple of hours

[@andrewdarlington6951]

Where is the 6:04 photo from ? Thanks

[@christianschroll6124]

Nothing against your other videos but you belong in Iceland.

[@angusaardvark]

Impressive landscape but I do like trees......

[@DoubleB13]

Whatever he said 😂

[@erichstocker8358]

Interesting all these 4x4 users. They enter pristine waters leak gasoline and oil and transmission fluid into the water and probably brag about how green they are and how they love nature. May the fleas of a thousand camels infest their hair!

[@phil.curious]

They should definitely just allow donkeys on Imodium to take people out there!

[@danielmunoz06]

Well said dude! We should deport anyone who drives a car/uses a phone/ breathes too heavily to Anctarctica
