I Have Dreamed Of Photographing These New Iceland Locations for Years!

Рет қаралды 44,577

Күн бұрын

Despite having made 50+ videos about landscape photography in Iceland and shown at least one new location per video, there is still so much to explore! In this video, Sophie and I venture on an epic landscape photography adventure through Iceland. We photograph puffins at Dyrholaey, photograph the famous "Instagram" cave, also, at Dyrholaey, photograph the 2023 volcano eruption, we venture up to a secret canyon, we photograph several different glaciers, a waterfall I've wanted to visit since 2015, I fly my drone in previously unexplored locations, and we photograph beautiful cotton grass in an atmospheric scene.

This episode was like a homecoming Mads, as your Iceland series is still like the gold standard of Iceland videos. Loved that Volcano image of you and Sophie, it was like you were time travellers who have journeyed back in time to witness the birth of planet earth

Great to see Sophie again. Of course, you made her stand on the cliff edge as usual. Very brave of her. The volcano images are out of this world. And the puffins are great!

That image with you and Sophie silhouetted in the volcanic landscape was just amazing. Gave some sense of scale to what was before you. And then the one with you both and the glacier while you were high giving. Wow, wow, wow!!! Thank you for sharing such an amazing part of the world.

@robertnystrom289 10 ай бұрын

Maybe the overhead drone focus problem was severe refraction of the super hot air confusing the focus system? Loved it!

Glad Sophie got to join you. She made a great model. Love that you included so many great photos. Of course your video editing skills were evident by the fast moving and interesting shots and B roll.

Most probably she teared up because she thought "if I only had a man like Mads..."

@brucechristensen7437 10 ай бұрын

Mads, we were in Iceland about 6 weeks ago and saw nothing like you have here. The area is EPIC. The day we left was the first eruption of the volcano by the airport. We were on a cruise and were not able to get around ourselves. (Bus tours, Golden Circle.) Really enjoyed your video and photos/videos. Well done, and look forward to others. (Side note) My whole family is Danish ancestry and going there next year. I have watched many of your videos and enjoy your commentary and obviously your photo skills. Keep producing quality like this video.

What a good sport Sophie is. I love to see her in your videos. That image of you both in front of the volcano is outstanding and one you will treasure for many years to come. Thank you both. ❤❤❤❤

@pascalvangerven5769 10 ай бұрын

For me, the icing on the cake was you removing that Doritos bag. It may have been accidentally left by someone, but the thought that even a place like this gets littered makes me sick. And yes, your photos are awesome, as always! 😊

@randyschwager84 10 ай бұрын

I was very impressed when I saw you Puffin images. I've seen zillions of Puffin photos on KZfaq and no one I've seen has measured up to your work...not even your good friend Nigel...who is tough to beat. Then you introduced the volcano pictures and I was totally blown away. Then the amazing shots just kept on coming. I believe I enjoyed the iceberg shots as much as I did the volcano. You are so blessed to be able to visit these locations and to have a partner like Sophie who enjoys traveling and hiking along with you. What a great adventure. Thanks for taking me along!

Just wondering, is James still composing the trash bins? You kinda left me hanging. I just can’t wait to see his video. The shots including your partner, Sophie, we’re inspiring for me. I plan to try this more with my wife during our travels. I’ve posed her in landscapes a couple of times but with more emphasis on her than the landscape ie. big in the frame. I love the way you position Sophie to emphasize the grand scale of your shots. Thank you.
