- Vidoy is the northernmost island of the Faroe Islands and is a spectacular landscape photography and hiking location. In this video, I tell about how a miserable evening turned around to success and delivered two of my favourite photos of 2018.

From your videos i’m learning that a big part of being a good landscape photographer is to seek the perfect location, mindfully setting up the shot and then taking the pic...I’m thinking it makes the whole experience more meaningful when you see the end result.
6 waterfalls in one location. That’s crazy. Love the second shot and the first close behind.
Two amazing photos again. Can’t wait to our trip in April so excited
I never heared about Faroes until I come across series of your photos, which inspired me to give it a shot. Just few days before my first flight to Faroes, I just want to thank You for all the content you uploaded. It helps me a lot with planning my photo spots ! Cheers !
So happy to hear that! You're welcome. Have fun and take care :)
Fantastic images Mads.
So I’m now looking forward to your ‘beers I drink while to editing my images’ video - it must be a winner!
Haha! That would make for a short video xD
Absolutely incredible work. So jealous, that you get to go to these places and experience this...Every photo envisions the time and hard work you take to get the perfect shot.
Mads, the two photos are excellent, but the photo of the waterfalls is something very special. Not sure how common is having those waterfalls pouring water simultaneously. An amazing photograph.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Just goes to show, that sticking it out in difficult situations (be it environment or emotional {in this case a little of each}) pays off with huge dividends in the end !!!! Excellent shot(s)…
Another great episode. 🙏
What a great story!! Entertaining and informative! Please don't ever stop makingthese videos. I have learned about photography and life because of you. Thanks!
I've been watching your Faroe videos and this is almost the last one I ended up watching... I have to say, it's my favorite video so far. Your story about pushing through the negative thoughts is SO inspiring and I can relate to it completely. My partner and I are heading to the Faroes in August and I feel so inspired and prepared by watching your videos and photography tips. THANK YOU SO MUCH for creating such epic videos and going out of the way to make them so inspiring and also hiking to locations that not many would venture. LOVE THE 2018 Shots from this video! Keep up the amazing work!!!
Sublime - Your photographs are absolutely wonderful!
Thank you very much, Glenn :)
Wow! Those waterfalls are beautiful. Great shots. Glad you two are willing to brave these conditions so I can get a glimpse
The fact you listen to metal at all is great. I thought I was the only landscape photographer who did. If you do like the more melodic, heavy musically sounding metal I would recommend a band named Slice the Cake. They have some amazing work that fits the fantasy yet ultra dark and dangerous images you get in the mountains and I could associate with your work too. Great video, as always.
Thanks for the recommendation. I'll look into it :)
Incredible, just incredible. I've been to several of the locations you showed us in Iceland, but your explanation of how to get your shots show me a completely different way of looking at a pretty place. I love the commentary as well, as understanding what led to a picture makes it so much more meaningful. Thank you again.
Great story and amazing images
It always feels like diving into another world because you realy manage to drow someone in with the moody pictures and with the mystic music going with it!!
It's always a pleasure to wath! Thank you very much!!
📸👍👍
outstanding as always! This video is probably why we've added Vidoy to our itinerary in June.
you were right the mountain view with the community was grand indeed! Keep up the great work!
I really like the waterfalls, Mads, that really tells its story.
What a place!! we went there for 3 weeks this year in April/May because of your earlier TH-cam's, so we are indebted to you for the inspiration..... must admit its a place that seems difficult to beat in future adventures...... one other suggestion if you haven't been there is Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean..... I thought the Grand Randonee 1 had scenery that maybe topped the Faroe's
I never really was attracted to the tropics but that place looks epic! :) Thanks for the suggestion
Another great video, Mads! I always enjoy watching them, especially the Iceland videos. Cheers from Canada!!
Fantastic compositions Mads.... thanks for this video. I wish you guy's a healthy and prosperous 2019.
Thank you very much, Ben! And to you too. Again, too bad you had to cancel the tour back in November.
Certainly inspirational to hear that you would not let bad feelings get in the way of your plans! Keep up the good work Mads!
Brilliant video, Mads. I am really enjoying the Faroe Island series both for the photography and the travelogue. I would love to see some more of the townships and buildings which are strange and exotic for those of us who live in the tropics. Your sunset shots are also fascinating. Wonderful to have the luxury of time to plan your shoot. Where I live the golden hour is more like golden 15 minutes.
Planned this location i detail this summer, but due to dense fog I did not see anything at all. Fun to see this video. The hike was just like I imagined from photos and google earth.
Great job Mad! Thanks for sharing!
Great video Mads. Love the images.
Two super images, Mads, with the first one just winning the gold medal! Happy Christmas to you both.
Thank you very much and to you too, Tony!
Spectacular scenery, but also expert composition! Well done. Ok, now the Faroes are on my bucket list which now includes Lofoten, Iceland, Greenland, Shetland...
Hehe loads to do! :) And thanks!
Thanks you for the lovely films of the Faroe Islands🙏greetings from Paul and Didi
Great video as usual Mads. I'm going to the Faroes in April and your videos and recommendations are going to be invaluable. Loved both of the images.
Thank you, Andrew! Good luck! :)
Mads, your work is inspiring and breathtaking. Thank you for sharing it!
Such an amazing artist. Truly inspiring.
Amazing. The Waterfall image looks like from another World. Very impressiv, Mads. 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks a lot, Michael. Yes, it's very special :)
I am looking forward to viewing more of your spectacular scenery.
fantastic mads, just great presentation and focus in such a beautifull location, superb photography and using sophie gave the images scale and depth, have a great Christmas both of you and looking forward to whats ahead in 2019
This series continues to be inspirational! Can't wait until we go there next Summer.
Simply a spectacular end to what has been a great year of viewing Mads. Can honestly say in terms of style, content and quality your vlogs have pushed standards and boundaries each time you have graciously shared your adventures.
I sincerely hope you see your channel continue to grow and look forward to being part of your community in 2019 and to be enlightened and inspired by your marvellous productions
Thank you so much, Jim! Means so much and thanks for sticking around! :)
Another great vid!
Great story Mads. Something we can all relate to I’m sure. Highest hopes almost dashed, fighting against our own negative emotions, and making even the most abysmal day a triumph!
Thank you, Seth. Yes, I think I know what you meant ;D
Nice to hear your story about negative thoughts. There were times while I was traveling through Iceland that I
felt that I was not getting the compositions and shots I wanted....leaving me in a moot state of mind. I guess
I am not alone. In the end it was a trip I will never forget and leaving me the desire to once again return to capture
all of Iceland's beauty I can....
I know that feeling full well! I especially start to expect more and more from myself, which is kind of self-destroying, but so hard to ignore.
Awesome photo’s, specialy the last one. Keep up the good work in 2019 Mads. Cheers.
Perfect prompt to think about my own favorites of 2018, not only the images but the experience that sits behind them. Thanks for an awesome year of landscape photography content. Without a doubt my favorite TH-cam content provider of 2018.
Thank you so much, Michael! So, so sweet of you :)
As usual Mads an inspirational video
Thanks a lot, Gordon! :)
Stunning pictures Mads. Looking forward to more in 2019
Awesome video Mads, you guys must be so fit you make walking up these mountains look effortless, you made an interesting point about mindset in this video so what drives you when you might not be feeling it, also might you think seeing how your thought processes during post processing could make for a video as well?
Keep up the great work Mads. I'm enjoying watching your videos.
I will for sure! :)
Yeah I don’t think I’m gonna embrace the ‘wet, tired, sulking, post car ding, photographer’ method anytime soon 🤔😁. Great work as usual on both the video and the images. Liked both but the second one my favourite if I absolutely had to choose. 👍
Hehe, thanks a lot, Steve. Yeah, I'm a little divided but the second is definitely the most unique :)
I did that hike with a friend a couple of years back. Sadly we also had pretty bad weather. Its so hard to get images on those islands. Also Post Black Metal always helps when editing. I would also recommend checking out Long Distance Calling - it's Prog / Post Metal. They often accompanied me on my ventures and during processing. ;)
I actually find it easy to get the good photos - at least when you know where to go ;)
Thanks for the suggestion on the music :)
@@MadsPeterIversen I meant weatherwise. Locationwise the Faroes were an Eldorado until hiking.fo happened. If you want some more recommendations you might be inclined to check out "Autumn for Crippled Children" (yeah weird name), "Alcest", "Lantlos" or "Aggaloch". ;D
Nice video Mads. Way to “climb” out of your funk! Beautiful images- proof that persistence pays off. Cheers!
Very nice pictures ! We don't always need vibrant sunset... Some of my favorite images are taken at blue hour with a moody sky as well ;)
Looking forward to watch your next video !
Thanks a lot, Jean. Yes, all conditions can almost give good images :)
As great as ever! 👏👏👏
Hi Mads!
Most inspiring at all levels. Production wise, your videos are improving in quality and story telling - I can only imagine the complexity in terms of the amount of preparation each video requires from you and Sophie.
I agree with you in regards to the photos you showed.
I have a curiosity, when you compose the frame in the field do you picture in your head a different frame ratio to the final print or is it something that you might decide when in from of the computer?
Thank you for sharing
Thank you for the kind words, Vitor! :) In all honesty, the videos themselves don't require much preparation as I film as I go along and build the story up around that. The preparation is for taking photos.
I mainly stick to the 2:3 when framing the photo in field. Sometimes I crop but I try to stick to the standards of 2:3, 3:4, 4:5 and 16:9, occasionally 1:2 :)
Wow Mads! Those pictures are really stunning!! Love the drama and atmosphere. Also, 'soundly' (does it really exists this word?) speaking, I love the water sound as a background when you showed that waterfall picture. I've been following for a while now and you're one of my favourite landscape photographers and storyteller :)
Thank you very much, Alex! Yes, I really like to add some effects to the photo showing :)
Amazing shots and experience. Thanks for sharing!! Cheers
Great video. Stunning location. Hope to make it there one day!
Hi Mads great vid, rotten conditions but must say love the 2nd image. By the Merry Christmas to the pair of you and a Fabulous New Year.
Thanks a lot, Paul! Much appreciated and you too :)
the photo @11:00 so good !!!
Great work Mads. May I suggest some Pink Floyd while editing moody photos.
Ooohhhh is really really amazing photos and video 👌👏👏👏👏
I'm trying to decide whether in 2019 to go to the Faroes for 1st time or return to Iceland. Not easy. Hire car cost in Faroes seems really high, but you make it look appealing!
Hey mads. You dont need me to keep telling that your vids are always great viewing .. right!?.... but they are! Very Game of thrones with music choices etc. Although im form the Orkney Islands, I have never been to the Faroes, but have a need to go there in 2020as being asked to run a workshop there for international clients. Im sure it would be pretty awesome light that far north in the summer where golden hour would last for HOURS!
Keep up the great vids Mads - your regular content is a great miss on here [YT]
Inspirational mate.
Regards
Ewan
If you get a golden hour ;) Winter is also good for golden hour!
@@MadsPeterIversen - sometimes even better, on account of the horizontal movement of the 'rise' as the suns elevation is less throughout its cycle, allowing sunsets to last longer, and intensify = )
I am really depressed when it rains and would scratch my car. Would not even make that hike. But you are totally right with your philosophy, probably the reason why your work is so inspirational 😉
Thank you, Patrick. It took me time to learn and sometimes it doesn't win, but I'm getting there ;)
you have an extraordinary style. Love it. Can I ask what gear you use?
Thanks a lot! Check out the video I released just before this one ;)
At this hike they now charge 200dk per person to walk up. They placed blue poles to see were to walk but the path is not kept up. This one for me was the only over prized fee.
Thank you Mads for your awesome vids, they're extremely helpful for planning a trip there. Can you please explain how you got to the waterfalls? Did you just follow the hiking trail east until the coast of the island? Thanks again for the detail and the inspiration!
You're welcome. Nope, I just parked the car. If you check the map, there's only one road driving around. Just be on the eastern side.
@@MadsPeterIversen Thank you!
Love the video Mads!! Where did you park for this hike and for the others in your Faroe Island series? I've been scouring google maps and it's rare to find an actual area for parking. I don't want to be the rude tourist/photographer and parking on peoples property or anything like that.
Thanks
Just parked close to the entrance. Be aware of the rules around this place seem to change now. I'm not entirely sure how.
From Google maps, it seems that many if not most of the hill/cliff sides are cordoned off by fences, I suppose to serve as meadows for the sheep? In any case, it's clear that it's private property. When scaling some of the cliffsides, how did you go about this? Simply go through the gate and straight through or did you go around the fenced areas?
Straight through the gates and on to the trail. Only small parts are within walls. There is one long wall up the mountain, but it's old and not in use anymore.
@@MadsPeterIversen Thanks for the reply Mads, every bit of info helps, as I'm planning to go there myself next year.
i recently read about something that you mentioned in this video, the possibility of fees for hiking on the Faroes. what is the official word on that? is it just private landowners that will set their own fees?
I heard from a friend who just came back from there that to get to Drangarnir you have to pay....you have 2 choices , 1. take a guided tour which is run every mon,wed,fri and costs i believe 73euro per person or if you want to go by yourself a figure of 200euro was mentioned.
I wish I could tell you more, but for now, it's the wild wild west up here. Private landowners have started to charge. Some see it as a business opportunity and others just charge a little. Some require a guide unless you pay more and sometimes they don't charge at all... there is no official system yet.
@@MadsPeterIversen i'm gonna bring a bottle of Irish Whiskey as a cough cough (bribe) gesture that i hope will make the land owner look kindly on me and my friends when we visit in June
@@markobrien9362 200 euro!??!?!?! Two hundred!!! Even 73 euro is outrageous just to do a hike!! Man, maybe I will not be visiting the Faroes again. Such a shame, I was planning on returning with a few friends to hike and photograph.
@@MadsPeterIversen I'm going to email a couple of the locals that I stayed with last year and see if they have any info about this.
What Black Metal band did you listen too?
I wrote it when I talked about it ;) "Lustre" and their two newer albums.
Ahhhh... Faroe Islands... where it rains 400 days a year on average!!!
Exactly! But they also see the sun each day... for at least five seconds xD
You should come in the dry season (the one day every decade when its not raining)
beautiful place and beautiful images!
Great video Peter. Keep them coming for 2019. Hope you have a good Christmas.
