The 7 Photography Mistakes I See All Photographers do!

[@davebryer6133]

Your comment on the McDonalds in Greenland was worth a thousand thumbs up. Take care.

[@cinavik]

i was thinking (and fearing) the same thing. please stop my country from doing that crap

[@Professor_Internet_PhD]

Immediately liked the video after that comment.

[@LauraF4848]

Speaking as an American, please know that some of us still believe in the freedom and rights of other people in other countries. 💚

We are counting at you, so much.

McDonalds, that's not to everybody's taste. Always admired your near perfect English, better than many native English speakers, keep up the good work Mads.

[@Michal_Kosakowski]

I have also met a lot of people who don't get telephoto landscape photography, and think it's only for zooming when you're too far. Personally I love how you can play with perspective compression, and it's also great for separating interesting abstracts on those dull light days, when nothing seem to look attractive. A great example is what Michael Shainblum does. Most of his photos are taken with telephoto and they're amazing. On the subject of screen brightness, Great advice, way too many times in the past I have made a mistake of judging the exposure on how it looks on the display. Now I use screen brightness levels and zebras so often, that I actually assigned buttons to them. Also if you forget, it's handy to have presets with different screen brightness for day, night, indoors, etc.

[@DaveKingMusic]

I’m curious about your zebra settings. What do you set them at? Thanks!

2:22 I live in Hamburg and in last 3 months I went 3 times to Harz, so I could see the lakes, creeks or waterfalls surrounded by yellow and orange leaves, or on frosty mornings, or in the fog, or in deep winter full of snow.

[@michaelj.1121]

Great tips & advice - not to mention the accompanying images!

[@albert25hoo]

Good tips, Mads! I realize, that I can spent a gray rainy day to make my camera, a brand new Nikon Z6III, more a very good precision instrument, a tool to get my photo's taken. In the field it is always too late. Anticipating the conditions I can make useful presets, tha really improve my photography. For the rest: f112 and be there. Greetings, Bert.

[@salvirji]

Great video and tips Mads. Nicely put together

[@Jake-vt4ow]

Thank you so much, Mads! Wonderful video and fabulous images. Your English is excellent. When you started your videos years back, you were still a bit in learning mode, but you’re a pro now. Danish is such a tough language to learn for English speakers.

[@scotty4418]

Totally concur about the menu short cuts Mads and normally one of the first things I do when ever I buy a new camera as your type of photography will give you a good idea of the common functions you use on your camera. As you said, save so much time

[@paulseymour7485]

Excellent tips and great video.

[@billingalls1940]

I. too, loved your joke about the McDonalds. By the way, I wore my new ABSOLUTELY EPIC sweatshirt to the gym today (this week is REALLY cold for Florida) and it generated a couple of conversations about photography.

[@untouchable360x]

The freedom to make my own mistakes is all I ever wanted.

[@Wissperwind]

I have set screen brightness as the key function of the delete key in photo mode. Verry easy to access.

[@gargle99]

Thanks Mads🤓

[@joancarulla838]

Thanks for your Wonderful videos! 😊👌🏻😎😉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Waldo58]

Loved the McDonald's comment 😂😂😂😂 I truly hope it remains a joke & not reality, another great video, thank you 👍🙂

[@bikecommuter24]

I retired from media work a few years ago, I have not a pro- photo shoot since then, but I still take my camera out once in awhile and yes I still watch the beginner videos I sometimes need to keep the basics in my mind but it all comes back to me. LOL I like the joke but living in the USA it more likely to be a Starbucks on every corner, The city I live the main street has one McDonalds and four Starbucks on it, the street is 5 miles long that 8 km. My one piece of advice for beginners buy quality over quantity, get the basics a good tripod, a few decent filters and a good jacket. Rent the lenses you want to get to see if they work for you and nothing wrong with used and/or refurbished gear. The in between seasons when the colors are drab that is a good time to go black and white.

[@davidcrighton3431]

Regarding the histogram. If you find yourself with a "U" shaped histogram that is a sure-fire sign that you need to dial down the contrast.

[@randyschwager84]

As always, great info! One of my lingering questions is how/where to set screen brightness on my computer when editing??? (Loved the McDonalds joke! ) Thanks for taking me along!

[@Oakley5100]

If you pick up a color calibrator, it should read the ambient light of the room and give a suggested brightness. But in my experience starting at like 20% of max is a decent starting point and making adjustments from there.

[@louisburley1597]

The McDonald’s joke is savage. I’m unfortunately an American. I do mean unfortunately. I didn’t vote for the current dictator. Keep the shots coming Mads! I’m here for the Danish people sticking up for themselves.

[@justincase9665]

It is unfortunate you are an American..Perhaps you should stop calling yourself one...

[@davidgraham9341]

McDonald’s is one thing. The bigger question is whether Greenland would be a good place for a golf course and luxury hotel. Just asking for someone else. Not crazy about either McDonalds or golf.

[@sh_photo]

Can't be much of a dictator because you're still free to move your sorry a$$ out of here

[@francoisworms9501]

Thanks for all your videos ! 🙂 What is the L Bracket model you use on Sony A7R V ?

[@MadsPeterIversen]

You’re welcome, it’s the foldable one from Smallrig :)

[@warwickatkinson2558]

Very good production. This might TRUMP the USA's expansionist ideas?

[@ibhansen1278]

4.00 🤣

[@elwick_photo]

Favourites menu is always my arguement when people say sonys menus are hard to learn, just dont learn them, make your own with the favourites 😂

[@nathanstark1210]

Instead of TV during dinner, we watch this!!!

[@cherylnetti7268]

Throwing shade at Donald Trump! As an American, I salute you! 👏👏👏🤣 (Have to laugh, or I’m going to cry.)

[@karimovich90]

When you said ‘morning fog,’ I remembered Jurgen Klopp’s ‘brain f*ck.’ I love morning fog. :D

[@stevecottrill7878]

Ditto on Daves' comment...lol

[@DaveKingMusic]

According to Fototripper, Iceland could use a few McDonald’s. 😂

[@savenaturewonderro3952]

❤❤❤

[@PeterLariviere]

At 4:04 NEVER!! 🇩🇰 🇬🇱 🇨🇦 🇵🇦 Solidarity. Got the new book and it is an amazing tool not to mention the beautiful images.

[@PrinceJvstin]

It occurs to me that, as an American, I might not be very welcome in Greenland

[@abjeepify]

Stay out of Canada as well.

[@louisburley1597]

Anytime I travel abroad and I’m asked where I’m from I say “unfortunately I’m an American.” I detest the current wanna be dictator.

[@paullavin5449]

Or anywhere else 😂

[@louisburley1597]

@ precisely why I never say anything about it. I’m somehow good at throwing people off though. I am literally a European trapped in America lol.

[@elwick_photo]

Just say Canadian instead, it's close enough most people won't notice, and we all generally like Canadians 😂

[@tjsinva]

Let's hope that the threat of a McDonald's on every corner gives way to some common sense.🤪 Carry on. 👍🥂

[@LeeAllen337]

Make Greenland Great Again

[@andyblessett1951]

Could be worse, he could decide to call it 'Trumpland'!

[@jeffschreifels8651]

Looking at the comments, i was a little worried you had decided to make your channel about politics but i was happy to see it was just one subtle joke. I don't want to see Greenland desecrated either, no matter who 'owns' it.

[@petogr.]

Thumbs up for The joke :)

[@chiraz111]

I just want to apologize for our president's designs on Greenland. He's a moron.

[@johnbragg2014]

No, just got rid of the moron, didn't you see the debate last year? Comon man! LOL!
