BEST COMPOSITION at Kalsoy, The Faroe Islands | 4K
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ต.ค. 2024
- Kalsoy in the Faroe Islands is not known for its diversity in compositional and creative choices. There are some fairly fixed focal points. However, there are plenty of opportunities for different foregrounds, light and weather conditions making this place around Kallur Lighthouse worth a visit each time! In this video I'll discuss the different choices I've made to my photographs from here in 2019.

I can see why the first is a favourite, wonderful shot. Love the greens of the landscape. The lighting of the last shot is super cool.
Your video making is absolutely stunning! Your channel has now become one of my top watches along with Thomas Heaton's. Excellent stuff!!
Oh what great memories from March Thanks again Mads
That drone footage at the end shows just how limited a space you have to work in, and yet you can create such epic shots. Thanks for sharing Mads.
Wonderful! Going to Faroe islands this summer, looking forward to see these Epic views!
Great images Mads and good insight how you go about composition very good breakdown. I particularly like the March image at 10:40 and the use of negative space on the right.
That grass looks very dramatic red, pretty brave creative choice 😄. Fascinating to see the season differences as was the subtle difference in the two images with the stronger lead in lines of the cropped pano. Great memories from that place 👍
Stunning. You are my photo hero.
I recognise some of those people in the video.... what an epic place! Cant wait to get back there..
Yup! I bet you even recognized yourself :)
Thank's Mads for this epic video. I prefered the photos of you summer trip and mostly the last one with the superb light. It was really moody...
Thank you very much, Paul :)
A very interesting discussion. Thanks.
Beautiful pictures, very informative and entertaining as usual. Just purchased your e-book and look forward to learning lots more. I am also red green colour blind, so for many years concentrated on black and white but then started using info panel numbers to check my work and give me confidence.
Thank you very much for the support! I use a hue/saturation layer in photoshop and blow up the colors. In that way I can see what colors get over-exposed first :)
Nice comparison Mads. Thnx
Brilliant video, Mads. Excellent images and a great explanation of what you were trying to achieve.
Rich JV as per usual! 🙌🏽

Thanks, Mads, for a very profitable video. I appreciated the comparison of the compositions. I have your ebook & look forward to using it in conjunction with your videos. Although I will never get to the Faroes, at least I can come to know (to some extent) the islands through your presentations.
Thanks for the support, Robert and thanks a lot for the kind words :)
I really liked your discussion of the contrasting compositions, along with the side by side comparisons. Some epic shots, indeed!
Great video as always. Favourite still is at 7:52
Fantastic video Mads! It's great to be reminded how different an impression one can get by using the telezoom and cropping off the top of the mountains!
Northfarm exactly! Can’t be afraid to crop the top!
Great video, gobsmacking location and EPIC photos Mads.
Hello ! I'm a french photographer. I've read the lite version of your ebook and I'v just bought the real one ! Thank you for your great great videos about composition. I hope it will help me improve my vision on landscape photography. I went to Lofoten island last summer and I go back there during winter 2020. I'll surely have new style of images ;-)
I hope it'll help! Thanks a million for the support! Good luck :)
I've posted my concerns!
Very detailed and concise explanation Mads and in addition to seeing how the image changed with the cropping choices you made was also interesting to see how the seasons and weather change a scene. I can see why you enjoy revisiting the Faroes
scotty4418 very well said Scott! I agree!
Thanks a lot, Jim! Very happy to hear that :)
wow master, amazing !!!
I love seeing how the images are affected by the various crops and your commentary on each one. Incredibly helpful. Thank you so very much!
Thank you so much, Joel!
Another great video, Mads. I always enjoy your insights about composition. Thank you
Peter - love the drama - capturing the light - nicely done.
Wonderful pictures and very informative video on composition. Great job Mads.
John Martin he’s definitely someone I carefully listen to when he instructs 🙌🏽
Thanks again Mads. As you know if you remember me saying we are off to the Faroes in April 2020 so will be sure to check out all the hot spots. We have your map download that is perfect for a first timer.
Paul Compton PDphotography good luck and happy shooting!
Good luck, Paul! And thanks for the support :)
Excellent as always. You are ever so creative with your compositions!
Mads it is great job!
Got your full version eBook on composition. Just love it, simple, to the point, easy to follow and gives me many composition aspects to work on. I highly recommend your eBook with the one from Nigel's to my landscape photography friends. Good job. Continue inspiring us all!
Thank you very much, Patrick! Very happy to hear that :)
Great work, man! I love the taken photos! ❤️🙏🏻 Thank you very much!
And as always thank you for uploading 😁
Great video as usual ..
Great stuff Mads, would be interesting to see some of the post processing on controlling the saturation in some of the images, something I struggle with when faced with a very green scene.
Paul Downey something so simple yet so damn difficult to balance. I agree with this as a future video bro 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Cheers Mads I’m sure many folk have the same issue. I end up losing patience trying to sort greens out sometimes. Thank f*ck autumn is coming 😆
Thanks a lot, Paul! I find it hilarious you're asking a colorblind to teach you how to sort out greens xD
Fantastic compilation of amazing compositions in one of thé most impressing location👌👌
Thank you very much, Jo!
So Amazing... 🙋♂️🙏👍
Thanks Mads, great information and video...
Awesome as always love your photos 😆
Great video Mads ! A super educational level of composition.
When i was on Kalsoy there was a heavy wind and a small part of fear of heights resulting i didn't have the nerve to go behind the lighthouse.
Next time i try to take the shot with the lighthouse.
Yeah, the human body generally asks you to stay back xD
I like so much , amazing video And excellent photos !!
Great video as ever Mads, I too am red-green colour blind and have to be very careful with my processing. I tend to end up with more pastel colours than many photographers as I can't really tell when things have gone too far. Keep up the excellent content and thanjs for your inspiration and great content.
Thanks a lot! I will. I use my girlfriend and friends to proof my photos ;)
Enjoyed the video; having been to Kallur lighthouse, I think it's one of those places where repeat visits are needed to fully exploit the potential. If I manage to return sometime, I would be so much better prepared!
It sure is a location that's worth visiting several times :)
I was feeling a bit discouraged because I have had to do some major cropping lately as I have been doing some run and gun autumn photography from quick roadside stops where I often don't have the right lens or vantage point. I feel a bit better now. 😊
Yeah, don't be afraid of cropping ;)
I am red-green colorblind also - it means that I cannot get very creative with color balance like some people do. I limit myself to changing color temp, and using the eyedropper on occasion. The upside is that B&W visualization comes more easily, or maybe that is just because I started shooting B&W 45 years ago...
Hehe, experience is probably a big part of it :)
Love both pano's the Summer one with the saturated green is quite simply stunning (some might say Epic). the lighting in the March pano is fantastic. Keep up the good work. Which video editing software do you use?
Thanks, I will! I use Premiere Pro
Hey... you stole my photo!!!! Lol 😂
😂🤣
Beautiful and impactful! Funny enough, I too have a green-red colour blindness :)
It's so annoying, hehe :)
Great images, as always good!
One question to the grass,.
What month does the grass turn green? April or May? Do you know that? or somebody
Pretty sure it's during May :)
A very enlightening video! Re the epic selfie: how large could you print it, since it's cropped to under 10 MP? I guess it proves that lots of MP may be overrated. Thanks!
Not sure how big, but would probably look fine in a regular poster size as long as you don't press your nose against in :)
As always your videos are superb. I think you at times make too much of balance. From my perspective, I didn't think that your panorama was unbalanced looking. I find it interesting to explore the photo. I liked your crop of it also but I enjoyed the panorama and would definitely display it on my walls.
dramatic differences between the brown and green grasses. I prefer the brown.
Looks like your color blindness works in your favor! Large amounts of green grass can seem so simple but it can be really hard balancing it with the rest of the image’s colors.
Is their a hiking fee for kallur lighthouse??
I heard someone mention they'd introduce it in 2020, but because of the pandemic I haven't got a confirmation about it.
