I can feel and hear the power of the waterfall in the long exposure. You have captured it perfectly.

[@waynemacleod5648]

Wow! You have done an excellent job of capturing the EPIC Power of water, especially in your dramatic, zoomed-in image. I did a lot of environmental auditing of hydro electric power generation in my career and have seen the "EPIC power" of many raging rivers and waterfalls, including Canada's Niagara Falls from the top of the International Dam where tourists are not allowed. What is mind-blowing to me is that all the water on earth is the same water that the dinosaurs stood in - it has just evaporated and rained back down countless times since then and has been raging in so many locations like this virtually since the beginning of time on earth (and that is truly EPIC). Your images have "stopped time" and they tell that enduring story magnificently - thanks for sharing!

[@PeterLariviere1]

I now understand the difference in our respective photography....while I take photos you create an image. I hope I can one day say that I finally understand how to create an image. Another fantastic video.

[@charlenenagel7962]

Wonderful! And I love the last photo with the long exposure!

[@HansGuichardo]

Thank you Mads for all your hard work. I will be in Iceland in 9 days for the first time ever. I'm looking forward to photographing and videoing all those gorgeous locations that you have shared with us with so much in-depth research and tips. My hat off to you amigo

[@Flexpicker]

Great video. Love the 4K format....looks like you are standing right in my computer screen. Also, great photographs of an amazing waterfall.

[@rhodesia1578]

Fantastic episode Mads .. breathtaking images once again... my favourite image was the last one.. the monochrome imagine.. so much drama and meaning to it .. well executed ! Wonderful composition 👏👏👏👌🏻

[@scotty4418]

The power of Mother Nature is a wonderful sight to be behold which you have beautifully captured Mads. In terms of the final image the human presence worked great as compared to the waterfall, it demonstrated how small we as humans can be at times compared to our natural environment.

[@valk-photography]

WOW .... like this video ..... the abstract photos are just magnificent ....... the zoomed in long exposure photo with the people is my favorite ! Again super .... always looking out for your videos. Just 1 day away from my next Iceland trip in the West fjords ..... using your map and info .... many tanks Mads !!!!!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Awesome! I hope you get some epic photos, Mario! :)

[@valk-photography]

Thank you very much Mads !

[@ccoopify]

Enjoy the beauty you capture and discuss in your videos. I enjoy your simplicity and why you take the shots you do.

[@paulus0109]

What an amazing place/location. Great photowork Mads. Thnx

[@ToBCreations]

Wow! Stunning images and incredible location! Yes, Epic is the word. 😃

[@jamesscarborough9545]

This video make me want to return to Iceland for visit #4!.....Can't get enough of Iceland!....Or the Faroe's.

[@paultrunfull3324]

Thanks again for another awesome vid. 2nd shot for me, for the overall shot of the waterfall. Lov'n the first abstract, and the last shot is Fricking Awesome Mads.

[@andreywagner5046]

Great stuff Mads, the last image is really powerful, love the abstracts too. Great light to you!

[@pablopozo1768]

Hi Mads! I was in Dettifoss on October 9th and I could see those abstract patterns formed by the waterfall spray. Amazing!

[@welshlad6427]

Genius with a camera 📸 👏🇩🇰

[@joachimmathijs1608]

Amaizing pictures and amaizing places. We can see here that trail and error still often is de best way to take good pictures up a notch to great pictures. I mean, you are abviously use to put someone in the picture to emphasise the scale. And what we can see here in the 2 pictures in the beginning, is that it’s doesn’t matter how many times you already did this, you still need the trail and error on the location to get the best option for the shot that you are making. And THAT is why I like photography so much. Every picture is a new one, a true blanc page where you need to follow your guts to create the picture. Thx for this video!

[@philipsmith1465]

Love the final photo but what brilliant locations

[@DreamBig]

I'm a big fan of your abstract details photos. The long exposure from Dettifoss turned out very dramatic. You also had good conditions at Hafragilsfoss, very powerfull looking. I'm so addicted to Iceland mostly because of (or thanks to) you. Just came back last month from an highlands tour, and can't wait to be back in February. Unfortunatly this area is closed in winter...

[@bvaldes8791]

That is one massive waterfall. All the images were outstanding but the last one for sure gives that impression of the power of the water flowing WOW. Love it

[@josephcole3187]

Mads those abstract were killer and yes the last shot from the western side @50mm was fantastically dramatic excellent execution on all shots!!

[@JaypeaFoto]

Great shots. The last one certainly gives a sense of danger. The scale is certainly enhanced with the people in the background.

[@rasesh4u]

The last image is unreal. Totally epic shot. Love your channel and great content. Beautiful compositions. Greetings from British Columbia, Canada

[@howser1961]

What's wrong with the 3 people who dislike? Your brilliant work is very satisfying - very satisfying indeed - and you show my country the greatest respect - Thank you

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you very much, Hjörtur! Means a lot coming from a local 🙏

[@paullachapelle7477]

Super photos.... and I aggree your last black and white photo is my prefered. It's very dramatic...

[@PhotoViking]

Gillar din mössa 👍. Min favoritmössa 😎. Gillar Island 👍. Min favoritplats. Gillar dina bilder 👍

[@shaanherbert7172]

Well done mate. Those closer, more intimate, shots show the raw power and scale of those falls. Ironically taking in the whole view wide a wide angle would have definitely taken away from those scenes.

[@JohnPaul-ii]

“Super epic”, that’s a good call for this location. Adding a person in the right place to the photo gives a truly epic sense of scale. Thanks for sharing Mads.

[@iemboyshostel]

I loved those abstracts and the last one specially

[@RichPang78]

Wow!! Superb images, Mads. That last one is absolutely epic!! Great work my man 👊🏻

[@fubband]

Awesome stuff! That last shot is by far my favourite, oozing dynamic power and brooding atmosphere 👍🏻

[@100mikeshark]

Great. Like the long exposure too

[@RichardRostant1]

Love the B&W abstracts near the end.

[@ralphwatson7036]

Epic is the word. Unbelievably epic, scarily epic. You even got a "wow" from my wife who is seldom impressed.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

That's a big compliment then ;)

[@simonharding5696]

I really enjoyed this video. I visited these waterfalls a couple of years ago, and they are definitely as super epic as you have depicted them. Great video!!

[@philn1957]

Great shots and information Mads, I've visited before in March with all the ice and snow but next year I'm going in early July, your fantastic videos are so inspiring.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you for your kind words, Phil :)

[@richarddelasota1812]

The last - long- exposure - photo showed the power and size of the waterfall in such a visceral way it made me gasp.

[@rvboondocker2559]

We went there about 15 years ago and it’s a terrific secret. Sat right on the edge and was truly epic! Only exceeded by Dettifoss, sitting on the East. No people at all.

[@joelrollins3984]

Excellent images! Love your work.

[@andyb_23]

I liked the abstracts. Great feel for the power of the place, made more so with the long exposure as a reference. Thanks for your videos Mads.

[@starsearchreject]

Beautiful!!!

[@ETRuT1]

Beautiful! Thank you.

[@tangdoaw]

Thank you for sharing.. I just got back from Iceland and darn.. i should have seen this before my trip.

[@juanarroyo5324]

stunning video n shots !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@10mansa]

I was there at Dettifoss West in September! So I looked at Your Video with great Interest. Thank You for showing Your Fotos!

[@WoodsmanLandscapePhotography]

My favorite images were definitely the abstracts. I liked the last photo but feel as if the tourists at the top distracted from the rest of the scene. Overall though, great series and I can’t wait to make it to Iceland some day!

[@tomaszzakrzewski6082]

I love the Dettifoss zoomed-in photo. I think it's a really original way to frame a picture in this location and the long lens works really well!

[@johnearl2303]

I love the one with the rainbow. As I’m not a fan of long exposures I would have liked to have seen an ordinary photo to compare with the long exposure of the waterfall

[@JohnHPettigrewFujishooter67]

Awesome video Mads, stunning images. Finally got my first video up and running, but I have a long way to go yet.

[@gabyisphoto2379]

The west vantage point is amazing - my fav

[@stefankuhn6887]

The last photo of Dettifoss is the most intense although it does not show the size of the waterfall. I like it and give it a like 😄👍🏻

[@jamesscarborough9545]

Dettifoss is a tough one to photograph for showing size and scale.

[@carljarvinen1189]

Definitely love the last photo, very moody indeed.

[@MarkMcNeill22]

some truly wonderful images mads

[@nldazuu]

Well done.... very nice 👍🏻

[@duffyhunter]

Such a epic and powerful waterfall. Your images have captured it perfectly. My favourite would be the long exposure. The motion of the water adds to its might. Great video Mads 👌👌

[@forrestproductions]

The portrait orientation image of Dettifoss at 10:28 is compelling. Great images evoke feeling and reaction. I actually felt a little uncomfortable looking at the image. I was close enough to fall in! The faster shutter speed relays the torrent of the water. If it was slower, my reaction would not be the same.

[@marcobrunetti3388]

Great video ! Greetings from Sicily

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

Mass this is epic and some.of the best images I seen for a long time. You really are an amazing video maker and photographer nice work

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you so very much, Paul! :)

[@markjutsum6187]

Love what you have done with the raw file of the waterfall. When lights not great, make it. MJ

[@SD_Trojan_7]

That what bugs me about Mads work. Talented photographer, but the pictures have no connection to reality. They are his fantasy. Fair to do as an artist, but to me that strays too far from photography.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

@@SD_Trojan_7 that's kinda what I've always done. If you want reality, just go out into it ;) no matter how much I edit/not edit it'll always be how I perceive the place. The focal length I use, how much I crop, when I go etc. :)

[@SD_Trojan_7]

@@MadsPeterIversen I hope you didn't take my comment as an insult. The images you create are absolutely stunning and your skill and talent are undeniable. Just different approaches. Thank you for these videos and for sharing your vision.

[@finedecks]

Great video Mads, love the content. I'm heading back to Iceland in the 1st week of December. Haven't been to Hafragilsfoss yet so can't wait to check it out.

[@luispinto4385]

For those who will visit this area , if you have the time , please look for "Holmatungur" and "Hljodaklettar" . Both locations are just a few kms north of this waterfall (west side of the river ) . 2 great areas for short (1-2 hours ) hikes with incredible scenery (google it )

[@MadsPeterIversen]

I've seen photos from here. Really nice :)

[@alhadb4253]

Excellent footage photos and work...well done my friend, what brand square ND filter would you recommend For landscape photography that has minimal/no colour cast?

[@susetteoreilly5519]

This is awesome 😊

[@monicatellez7984]

Wonderful location, all images are incredible. Specially i love long exposure image and detail of waterfall.

[@ShaneBaker]

Well, since you ask!! :-) I much prefer the "short" exposures. I miss the loss of texture in the long exposures. Thanks for the videos. Iceland looks fantastic. We don't get landscapes like that in Australia.

[@PaisajeDeGranCanaria]

Increible, dan ganas de estar ahi, en que estacion tomaste la foto? Incredible, it makes you want to be there, on what dates did you take the picture.?

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Don't remember the date, but was the start of August

[@hugodapalma]

Hi Mads, could I ask you what is the trigger you use to take those iconic pictures you do from yourself very far away from the camera? Anothrr great video!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Using the build in intervalometer :)

[@hugodapalma]

@@MadsPeterIversen thank you very much! I will check on mine if it has the same. Thank you!

[@TheMarcao93]

the human presence brings a real plus for the first cascade. I love the abstract images of Detifoss. What was the shutter speed, stp? .Thanks for this sharing.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

About 1/8th as far as I remember, maybe a bit longer.

[@svanurfpv]

hey man awesome video! one question here where do you get the music for your all your videos and yt vids?

[@MadsPeterIversen]

It varies, but I use epidemic a lot these days (link in the description) :)

[@hugozeelie3438]

The last image from Dettifoss is one of your best Mads (IMHO). Did you do a composite of different exposures to reduce blur from the spray and to get the people sharp and static?

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you, Hugo! Nope, that one is a single exposure. It's like 1/8th'ish, so people don't move too far :)

[@allandavies1187]

Hello Mads, I loved your final image of that plunging waterfall. I feel that it could look even better if you apply a heavy-ish! Sepia Tone. Just a thought, what do you think Mads ?

[@odysseyofamind]

not a bad idea.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

I think that's a terrible idea... 😉 I really do not like sepia, it's an old cliche that cheapens the photo and doesn't help me understand the photo 🙂

[@allandavies1187]

@@MadsPeterIversen Hee Hee!

[@AAa-tn5rz]

I want to go back so bad. Couldn't make it to Dettifoss since it was snowing in march.

[@FredericBonneauPhotography]

How much time do you put on the camera timer to self photograph yourself giving you the time to go down to the waterfall and take the picture?

[@jamesscarborough9545]

I think he uses the intervalometer and has it take photo's in interval times.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

What James said :)

[@mendari2]

I was top of the hill from east side and fly my drone to filming this waterfall. From my video I noticed some peoples at from west side of water fall and I was wondering "How did they get there?" Now I know how to get to east side of water all. Thank you for ur video.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

You're welcome, however, it's a no, no to fly your drone there ;)

Hola Mads, me encantan tus videos, por cierto podrías poner subtítulos en español? me cuesta seguirte...jejeje. Un saludo desde España.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Hi, sorry no subtitles unless someone makes them ;)

[@patrickquinlan7594]

At 9:20, that is actually the Western side. Not Eastern.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

It is the eastern side, the waterfall/river is running towards the north.

[@patrickquinlan7594]

Sorry, I should have clarified. I was referring to Dettifoss. Dettifoss runs South, not North. You can even see what direction the water falls on Google Earth. Great video though! UPDATE: You're right, it is the East side.
