For me, the drone shot looking down at the road makes the snow-covered trees look like individual snowflakes. Very nice.
i noticed that too!
Loved it! Thanks for the great tips as always, Mads.
Happy New Year! Fabulous video! Thank you so much
Thank you for your great tips!
Excellent timing on this, now that snow has arrived where I live. Let’s it hope it sticks around until the weekend ...
Happy new year Mads and family, thank you for your useful tips! Looking forward to future content 🙂
Thanks a lot, Lisa, to you too :)
Great tips thanks 👏🏻
Wow... this was just an amazing video! Thank you for sharing !
Excellent tips. Winter is fast approaching and these tips are perfect. Thanks Mads.
Continued success and health in the New Year! Bless!
Thanks and to you too!
Amazing shots, thanks again.
Thanks for this. Inspiring and helpful! So glad you had that spare and could change it out.
Your opening scene of winter trees from a drone were amazing. Thanks and have a happy New Year.
As I view the videos I see a lot of progression you made and the images are getting very well defined. Good work Mad Peter Iversen.
Really like your tips video Mads so many great things to think about and add to my photography when I'm next out.
Good stuff I really enjoy your videos. Helpful in our winter state of Maine
very informative, thanks and subscribed
I really do love your videos and discussion through every photo. Fantastic and thank you.
Thanks for all the tips Mads! Video liked! Looking forward to your review of the Tamron 🙂
One of the first wintervideos I got that gave me the tipps I need. It is good to see what an awsome photographer is making from an average scene: gold! In most cases we don't have the possibility to go to epic places when it snows, just the forest near by. And for me its so hard to find compositions in this very busy scenes. Well done with this video! Love it!
Such a good instructor! Thanks for all the winter tips.
Thanks a lot, Michael ☺️
Thank you! I like how you give information :) it is useful for me in photography
Usefull tips!
Great advice again Mads
Couldn't have dropped this at a better time, Mads. It seems the majority of us are receiving snow at the moment. Beautifully images and clear, precise teaching as always. Thank you.
Great tips, especially good reminder about leaving your camera in a consistently cold or warm environment. Do not keep taking the camera in cold weather then back into warm to take pictures. Lenses will fog. I learned that in Winnipeg Manitoba a few winters ago. I left my camera bag in the trunk so the warm weather or temp change will not fog my lens so I can take more pictures when I move to another location.
I have loved that picture of yours with the WIld horses running in the snow. I just assumed you went out to photograph the horses. A perfect example of having your camera with you and ready. Thanks, Mads.
I confess I came here to see your photographs - and the 10 tips were just icing on the cake! My absolute favorite photograph here is the Lighthouse. Wow!
The world's first photographer and tire changer)))
Thank you for cheering up))
As always very informative and easy to follow video
Just what I needed as the forecast tells me a winter storm is coming today!
Thanks for another great video. I love the way snow can simplify the scene. Reminds me of your video on minimalism. Now to remember the tips when I'm out there. Keep up the great work.
Thank you, Ralph. Yes, I don't always remember it all ;)
Thanks for the video! Obvious but not mentioned: Getting up early in freezing temperatures to go shoot requires discipline and a strong will. Kudos to you!
The good part is that during winter the sun rises relatively late ;)
@@MadsPeterIversen I wish I could say the same :)
Thank you! Another excellent and informative video! I will be in the mountains around Karuizawa, Japan next weekend and this video has been extremely helpful!
Mads, happy to see you got a little bit of snow, not what like we had one week before Christmas. We got 42” of snow in 18 hours in south central New York State!
Some great insights into winter photography, thanks again! We recently had several days of rime ice and I was a kid in a candy store and I owe you for some of the success I got!
That sounds splendid! Love those rime frost covered trees and plants!
Great tips, I just got the Mavic 3 Pro and look forward to some winter shots this winter.
Great reminders. Now if we can only get some snow!
Happy new year Mads, great tips and information
Thanks a lot, Jim and to you too :)
VVery nice video, as always!
If you don't have much snow in Denmark, you have to visit Romania. Here it snows every winter, you have lovely landscapes, forests, spectacular mountains, villages at the foot of the mountains, wild animals… all you need for landscape photography!
I really appreciate your work, Mads, and I wish you a very good 2021
!
Thanks again for the great content Mads. I too am waiting for snow in North Carolina.
This is so helpful! I took my first winter landscape photos a few weeks ago. I so wish I'd seen this video before I went!!
woow. super man
Thank you for your lovely video on winter photography. I am from India.
Amazing how you can look at a boring looking tree and spot a fantastic composition within it. Great eye for a composition. Nice work.
Thanks a lot, Ed :)
Nicely done video and great tips. Love the drone footage too. Phil, from snowy Ontario, Canada. You inspire me to get out in the snow more. Thanks
The look when changing the tire. I know that look. Been there. Great video. Thanks for the tips!
is really really amzing photos I like so very much ,the colors the frames an exquisite work.
Another great video and I just love the "Mad(s)" look when your tire got flat :D... but again nice shots and since the weather is changing we all are really enjoying fresh snow if any every year as small kids.
Haha yeah, had to get the best from the situation ;)
Great location & comments... thanks for sharing...I wish it was winter here but today only 26c & very bright sunshine... never snows where I live so your videos are always welcome.. cheers..😀
Excellent video Mads, your puncture reminded me of when I had a puncture on the F26 in the Sprengisandur, Iceland. A very scary experience!
awesome tips. will use in stockholm:)
Thanks! I have been struggling quite a bit with how white the snow should be. The back drop tip is a good one!
We are due snow where I live so hopefully your tips will come in useful, fingers crossed. Thanks Mads.
The drone image with the diagonal road is particularly great.
Great video, Mads! We live just some hours below the arctic circle in Norway and also just got snow 😅
Will try some in the morning. And seems I am from Norway the snow is everywhere this year. Nice film that gave some new ideas. Takker og ønsker deg en fin dag
So you're also very excited about the snow :-D I would LOVE to go photographing in Denmark - it's just around the corner (living at the border to Denmark). Well, in spring perhaps!
I love your photos and videos, very good job Peter. Liborio from Belgium
Thank you very much, Liborio :)
Just coming back from my local spot in the Pyrenees, where there was soooo much snow in the last couple of days...paradise for photographers! Great tipps regarding the strong subject, I think this can be a tricky part when surrounded by such landscapes, your first wish is to embrace the most of it all, hence loosing focus sometimes on interesting subjects. Thanks for the awesome work !
I am very jealous of you having those beautiful mountains! You are absolutely right. It can definitely be hard to pick out a strong subject when the entire landscape is so beautiful! :)
Great tips! Your photos are awesome captures. I find it hard to get motivated for photography in the winter here with the real cold temperatures. If there’s no fresh snow, and it’s just a gray, yucky day, what are your tips or do you just wait it out? Thank you
The one at 6:53 is just purely astonishing! Great work, thanks for inspiration!
Congrats to the snow and too bad with the tire! I liked the picture with the running horses, it looks like they are in the sky!
Thank you, Fanny. Yes, that photo is also one of my favorites 😊
Great video, instructions and photos. By the way if any one has any doubts about the 2 composition books, drop those doubts. These are great books, well presented, and very, very useful!
Thank you very much, Erich! I greatly appreciate that you recommend the ebooks :)
Great video Mads, I love winter photography, thank you. Snow? We have enough of it in Austria! 😅
Tip n.11: hand warmer, they are great and even fits under the gloves.
Was lucky you had a spare ‘get you home’ tire in the boot. Glad you got home safe.
Sadly we don’t get snow here in my part of Oz, definitely not when it’s 39°c 🥵🥵🥵.
Thanks for sharing your snow and tips anyway.
Stay safe Mads
for me when I search for a subject in winter, its most interesting to shoot in blue hour and find some artificial light (like a church of village) or during sunrise when warm colors hit the snowy landscape... so I search for the blue-orange contrast as these are the only colors in the snow 🙂
That's a really good approach, Nina! And a really good tip too ☺️
Great video! I do wish you had the camera settings displayed on your photos. Helps us newbies out with a general idea of how you setup for that photo.
You take some nice photos.
Fantastic Video Mads. Im from Chile, right now in the summer. I really enjoy the landscape un Jutland, how beautiful in the winter there, in the south of my country in patagonia is similar. For me has been always difficult to photograph in summer time, hard lights and shadows, shining sun is mostly boring for photos, winter is epic.
A+
Lovely set of images, sorry about the tire...as much as I get my drone up, I'm always taking video and don't ever think about taking photos, need to write a note on my controller. Thanks for sharing!
Another great video Mads! An unfortunate time to get a puncture!🤦🏻♂️
I think you'd love Asturias, there are some wonderful winter landscapes to be had here!
Great video Mads, thank you. Did you get a shot of the small tree seen behind you in the video at around 1:53? It looks to be a good composition with the larger trees behind it.
Mads had to laugh at your excitement about getting snow. I am excited this year because here in Ottawa Canada our winter so far has been mild and we only have a small couple of centimeters of snow on the ground. Most years we would have had 5 or 6 snowfalls of 5 to 15cm and a snow base of 20 to 40 cm of snow on the ground. Love the video and picked up a number of ideas. Thanks...oh and happy to mail you snow if it would help!
Ha that funny little wheel :-) I usually put one of my summer tires as spare for winter and vice-versa. Gets you a few more miles than that toy wheel and you don't need a mechanic right away. Good video! Here in Germany we also got plenty of snow in some reagions which I was waiting for for years now
Very good video. When you shoot snow, do you incline the editing to b&w generally?
Question from a newbie about to buy his first fancy camera: How cold can temperatures be before cameras, lenses and other equipment are harmed by the weather ? Is the harm from cold weather temporary or permanent ? What kinds of cameras and lenses tolerate cold temps the best ?
Another great video! Regarding leaving your camera gear in the bag for a couple hours to come up to room temp - Do you take your cards out of your camera while still in your car so that you can start downloading/editing right away?
No, I usually have a drive home, where the gear warms up a bit. I can usually take the cards out when I get home but I leave the gear in the bag :)
As always good content.
Tip about condensation is important. Thanks for that.
One question I have.. about drone.. because I consider to buy mavic Air 2 is about temperature. How it work with low temperature?
Thanks.. Rene
Just could not find a composition, huh? The final image is awesome in my eyes! Also, I cannot wait to hear your thoughts on the Tamron 28-200. I am very much considering buying it, because I realized on my last vacation that I often wanted to have more than the 75 mm my current lens can offer me on hiking trips. I always thought wide-angle was what you have to use, but while making slow progress in my photography skills, I got A LOT better shots by not trying to shoot everything in a single frame. Or by doing longer focal length panoramic shots to get a wide view and enough compression at the same time. Much of my progress in the last years is, at least in part, thanks to you. Thank you and keep it up!
Snow in Denmark after 2 years, not much point watching the rest of this in Swansea then 😂, oh go on then, you never know!
I don’t know why I thought Denmark was covered with snow in the winter like Finland or Iceland. I guess y’all live in southern Denmark!!!!!! Thanks Mads for all the inspiration!!!!!!
Nice vid Mads. I was planning to go snow hunting in the UK as I live down south where we don't get snow every year but alas Lockdown 3 stopped that (don't get me wron I agree it was needed) and doubt it will be lifted until Spring now so this might be the closest I get to snow this winter!
Too bad, let's hope winter next year will be better :) and thanks a lot!
Hello Mads, as always great tips. Do you use filters much?
Great vlog Mads and all superb tips. Especially exposure compensation for the snow too. Thank you sir. Keep up the great work.
Nice and usefull content. My English is not very good, also thanks for your slow, clear and very understandable speach. I'm really impressed which beautiful compositions you detect in very simple environments like the limbs of a tree at 3:25 or 5:15.
Hello thank you for super lessons! Nice photos👏. İ have a question please how can i make settings my camera on 12:17 mins, screen settings ? My camera is sony too
It's called zebra stripes in the menu :)
This video really speaks to me Mads. Many thanks. I'm in Canada.
Of course a large country but our local area is similar to yours in topography. Mads, how far would you drive for a day shoot? This is always something I anx over and is often an obstacle for me. Your work is wonderful.
Thanks a lot for the kind words, Stephen. It really depends on the length of the day, the certainty for success, the rarity of what I'm shooting, whether it makes sense commercially etc. Many factors count in :)
Hi Mads, excellent video. First point, well taken, about a pronounced subject. I remember doing a "detail" photograph of the wall behind (lower Yosemite Falls) one late summer, "with no water coming down, and a little girl asking her mother what I was taking a picture of? It made me stop and think, "what was I taking a picture of"? Also, "when I was growing up" injected into the wonderful creative world of (Photographic Art) 1974 - 2000, composition really took a back-seat to the technical aspects of the medium. I was so happy to hear you guys talk about and consider it again. But I must say it can go too far, to where it actually becomes your subject; vary down letting. I'm still one who leans towards the emotional impact of photographs, ie: low contrast - calmness, high contrast - dramatics, color combo's etc; creating the effect with your subject even before the exposure. But that's just me.
Nice video with great helpful tips. What editor software do you use?
Thanks. For photos I use Photoshop and for video Premiere Pro :)
More snow than we have in Narvik, Northern Norway at the moment 🙂
Excellent tip Mads, and your lighthouse image at 7:00 really is a stand out image and epitomises the bleakness of winter. Super excited to see your subscription count edging closer to 100k as well.
Thanks a lot, Jim! Yes, it's getting closer. Better late than never 😅
Mads, do you find any filters useful in your winter images? 8" of fresh snow coming to the Adirondacks this weekend so I'll put your tips to good use. Thanks!
great tip!
my canon eos m50 info, says that i shouldnt take the camera outdoors in cold under 0 degrees.
Does the camera get dammaged under 0 degrees? I know we should take care to put it in a bag before we go back indoors, to enshure slow temperature transition and avoid the condensation.
But during the time we have the camera in the freezing winter, will it also suffer dammage?
any tips? maybe i should warm it somehow?
thanks a lot
There's a nice small solitair (oak?)tree, on 2min30 during your introduction behind your hand, with snow standing in front of the pines behind it. Looks like a great subject. Did you shout it?
Clicked so fast! :)
Enjoy ☺️
@@MadsPeterIversen I sure did! 👍🏻
As always, awesome and useful. I really need keep in mind some of these points, as I always find myself on location snapping pictures left and right (not a pano joke), like a kid in a candy store.
it's a huge scandal that you don't have 100k subscriptions yet O.o Great tutorials, videos, content... The snow is falling outside the window so sorry - I have to go! :) Kind regards from Poland! :)
A puncture is always a bad thing, but in winter is is even more sad. At least you had an emergency tire (as I do in my car), often there is only a puncture spray/gel in modern cars to save some space. But it does not work always, I have two colleagues which both had no luck with this. (one even made a mess with the fluid :-P )
Ok Mads. I love your photos. BUT it can be so frustrating to follow someone on a photo walk that has "the eye". That eye that instantly catches the right composition that once they SHOW me what they saw, I can only say "DUH!". Over time I am actually learning how to "see" photos so when I see someone (you) who finds and captures such great images, I still have hope in finding "the eye". P.S. Tip on cold temps and your camera.... as soon as you get back in your car after a walk, remove the SD card right then.... your car is going to be close to the temp of your camera so it should be safe.... SD cards are mostly waterproof so when you get home, you can pop it in your computer and see your master compositions instantly!!!
What about using a CP when shooting snowy scenes??
