I know that i repeat everytime same things but OMG... The music, the vlog, place, drone, photos everything is fu***ing dope, for someone that love landscape photography like me that's better than porns hahahahah,
Never stop doing that pls! 😍😍😍😉😉
Haha thanks for that comment! Going to pin it ;)
Best TH-cam landscaper around. Like a travel guide and photo tutorial in one. No.6 is spectacular, comp or not.
Thank you so, so much! :)
The moodiness suits the Stonehenge exceptionally well!
Indeed it does :)
Number 3. The simplicity and the scale I love.
Thanks for your thoughts Philip :)
Number 3 for me, the long exposure and the use of space around the stones does it for me.......I always watch your videos on my lunch break and all I want to do is clock out, go get my camera and head off somewhere to get some shots after I've watched one........
There is so much eyecandy in this video that it is really hard to choose only one picture! But I love Blackchurch rock with the strong leading lines and the fantastic scale with the person, perfectly placed in the "window". So impressed!
Thank you for your thoughts Hans! Means a lot and happy you like that - seems like a lot of people do :)
All 1-6 are stunning but I choose #1 because your position and composition was so perfect, skilled, and probably very difficult to accomplish. However # 6 is absolutely spiritual and is glorious, conveying your own awe and joy and the majesty of Stonehenge. Thank you.
Thank you very much, that's a very nice compliment! I did have to work the location a bit to find it :)
#3. The extended exposure capturing the motion in the clouds gives the photo a third dimension. I really enjoy the conversational approach to your videos. It is very encouraging. Like having a personal photography mentor.
Thank you for your thoughts, Aquario :)
It has to be No 3 for me. This shows what Stonehenge is all about. The sky, the heavens, the heritage, the feel of the picture is ideal for this historic icon. You did stonehenge justice. Your portfolio shots are amazing I'm jealous. Thanks again Mads.
Thank you for your thoughts, Kevin :)
Photography is an art. If compositing is part of the process of making art, then compositing further exemplifies photography as an art. These are beautiful photos. # 6 with the Milky Way is my favourite.
Thank you Glen! Happy to hear this from another person - it's exactly what I think :)
number 3 because of the impact of time the clouds give to me in such a timeless place...
Number 6 is definitely my favourite, a totally appropriate composite, for me it shows an iconic man made object in perfect context.
Great as always, Mads Peter. I like number 5 most - it shows in my opinion, what Stonehenge once has been.
Thanks a lot Anja, yeah I love that shot too :)
I liked the composite shot. It captures the astronomy history of Stonehenge, and so did the one with the sun flare. Great work. I'm enjoying this series, even if I'm 6 months late to it.
I'm very happy to hear that, Doug. They're made to be timeless, so hopefully that shouldn't be a problem ;)
Woo! a very different and truly unique video about photography, yet so inspiring!!!!! Great work - keep it up.
Thanks a lot Paul :)
Just started to binge watch this series.....What I like most is that you provide 'technical tips' on the locations and things like how lighting will change between summer and winter. I live in southern England so nice to see it through your eyes. :-)
Number 4 for me Mads, the lead in lines and the bold shape and interest in the rock formation set this one apart. A long exposure with the cloud trails lined up with the lines in the rocks would really set this off!
Looking forward to episode 3, great to see your take on the UK.
Thank you for your thoughts, Dan. Yes it would - I could composite in a long exposure from another location, but I really like the subtle lines in the clouds :)
My favorite video to date! That Game of Thrones castle with the strong stone lines leading the eye through the atmospheric view...the stunning triangular peak at the shore that demands attention with the amazing stone landscape that surrounds it ,and putting as you always do the HUMAN element is the image ...truly unique and one I have never even heard of until this video...and lastly the Starry Night backdrop with Stonehenge as its subject...incrediblel artistic vision..you carry us away to places we want to see and visit and if for some reason we won’t make it there you guide our every move as we view your travels as if we are actually traveling the same path as you...with you...thank you for your camera knowledge...encouragement...enthusiasm and vision of your world.stay blessed.
Thank you for such kind words, Isabella! :)
Hi, I like picture number 6 a lot because of the awesome night sky compared to sunset and the amazing Stonehenge, dream shot!
Thank you for your thoughts, Kenneth :)
I like 4 because of the intriguing shape of the rock formation and because it takes the eye to a single point.
Thank you for your thoughts, Malachi, yes I really like it too :)
My favorite is 3 because of the effect of the long exposure on the clouds. I love your production values and your use of amazing music! You are doing really well IMHO -
6! Definitely 6! Sometimes we just aren't able to produce the ideas we have in mind because the stars just don't align for us (literally). So no I don't see anything wrong with composites! I'm a big fan of your work Mads. Thanks for making covid lockdown much more enjoyable. Do consider coming down to Australia and New Zealand for your next landscape adventure! Hope you are doing well, cheers.
All great images (as always) but 3 is my favorite. Your style of slightly desaturating the colors works well with the ancient subject, as well as with the ominous sky.
4 is my next favorite, as the subject is so, so unique. The browns in the photo also have a certain richness that works well with the bluish sky.
Thank you very much for your thoughts Cosmo - much appreciated! :)
Absolutely stunning images, Max’s. Love them all. Especially love the composite with the Milky Way
My favorite is #2, I'm a sucker for mist and that church on the top of the hill is just eyecandy.
Thank you for your thoughts, Magnus :)
Like number 3 because of the cloud movement pointing toward Stonehenge and also the cloud cover making some sort of a roof over Stonehenge; Great work, keep on going!
Thank you for your thoughts, Michel :)
They are all great, but I really like the mysterious atmosphere of number 2.
Thank you for your thoughts, Keith :) It's really growing on me too :)
Number one for me with the striking leading line and the mysterious church at he end but absolutely love the composite so keep up the top work
Thanks so much - very happy you liked that photo :)
I love #4. I live that texture and lighting in this picture. Thanks Mads.
4. Stunning - favourite video yet!! So glad I came across your channel
Thank you very much David! I'm happy you enjoy the content :)
Great video as always. My great great grandfather and some generations before were from Glastonbury, and my next trip to Europe will include London and the south of England, so this is especially meaningful. And . . . Number 3. The long exposure, the wide angle focal length and the movement in the clouds give a wonderfully moody feel to the photo.
Thank you for your thoughts, Richard. I hope you'll have a fantastic journey :)
Stunning images Mads. I was particularly interested in the first two locations. Torn between four and six. Very emotive images!
Thank you for your thoughts, Andrew! I hope you got your interest covered? :)
3 for me - I really like the empty sky and dramatic clouds
Thank you for your thoughts :)
Ur honesty and politeness is praise worthy
Another hard choice but number 3. I love the image for what it is, but it also inspires me to be a better photographer. It’s an amazing location sure, but it looked a grey, boring day with loads of people - not conducive to a good image. You shot show what you can get if you know what you’re doing and take proper time to prepare and keep looking before you shoot. The fact the clouds are all moving away from you really accentuates the subject and is just another really great example of thinking about all the different elements in the view and how to make them work together. Thanks for another great vid - shall get on to the others now!
Thank you very, very much Laurence! I agree it's about knowing how to solve the problems in front of you :)
Lovely moody image no3. Yet again another great video.
Thanks a lot Nick :)
For me the fourground in nr 1 and 4 is very nice and my favourites. Exellent video again!😀👊
4. Such an unusual rock formation and of course the leading lines help quite a bit.
Thank you for your thoughts :)
My favourite is a stand out - no 3 - minimal editing and reality rugged natural light. I grew up only 35 minutes from Stonehenge and used to cycle past it on the old road, that is how I remember it.
Love this vidéo ! Nombre 6 -because i'm a Stonehenge fan and i love the milky way 😉 Well done and thanks for these amazing pictures
Thank you for your thoughts, Pause and ongoing support :)
2, 4 &1. Love the mood and simplicity of #2. The leading lines in #4 and the overall comp of 1
Stunning Stonhenge photos Mads! So glad you enjoyed our wonderful country.
Really enjoy the new format of your videos.
Kathy and I are hoping to make it to the UK next autumn and are looking forward to your upcoming videos. Keep up the great work, we love it!
I'm happy yo hear you like it and I hope you'll have a splendid trip :)
I love no 4 Blackchruch rock because it is the only location I have taken photos of myself. Having that personal connection certainly influenced my choice. After that no 3 Stonehenge is brilliant the lines from the clouds make the shot
Really enjoying this series of videos 👍
4. Awesome subject
3. The sky looks amazing
Hi Mads. I think number 4 edges it for me with the halo around the sun looking stunning. Looking forward to seeing the next video.
Thank you for your thoughts, David :)
Great pictures! The astro with Stonehendge is top-notch. 👍🏾
Thank you for your thoughts, Estifanos :)
As always, superb production and amazing images.
Thank you very much, Darren! :)
very nice ladscape,and photo in 12:56,stonehenge with milkyway is great!
Thank you for your thoughts, Miroslav :)
OMG! Incredible shots of Stonehenge ❤️🙏
So happy you got to pay a visit to the glorious monument that is Stonehenge. I only live 20 minutes away and love visiting this ancient beauty under good and bad weather conditions. I really love picture 3 for the atmospheric and brooding sky, stunning! But I also really admire the night sky art image of number 6, mainly because I've never tried astrophotography but really love the way it looks ✨
TH-cam needs to add a love or OMG!! button, absolutely outstanding images and production on your videos. I visit southern Devon quite often but I will be visiting Brentor and Blackchurch rock next time I go down
I loved the halo shot (5) when you first showed it in the vlog, but in the gallery 3 has far more impact, the movement in the cloud adds a lot of impact and makes you think of the importance of Stonehenge in history. Well done, superb movie.
Number 6 is absolutely stunning Mads.
3 & 4 have my attention but ... 4 is absolutely my prefered one ... BTW again a very impressive video ... thank you 😊
Thanks a lot and thank you for your thoughts on the photos :)
Black church rock is so cool. ❤ I do like compositions but hands down my favourite is number 4. The rock is so cool and the leading lines take it over the top.
Most unique for me - No.5 and congrats for this photo Mads...
Thank you for your thoughts, Rasica :)
4 is superb Mads excellent work as always.
Thank you Lloyd :)
Fantastic vlog Mads - it's a toss up between #3 and #4 for me...both stunning.
Thank you for your thoughts, Steph :)
Nr 4 because it Touch me the most.
I always go on my feeling.
Very difficult to choose a 'best' picture because they are all wonderful. If I had to decide it would be number 4. Such a powerful composition enhanced with wonderful moody lighting.
number 3 for me Mads
They are all really good but I had to follow my guts and that is #3. I like the negative space with the longer exposure of clouds
Videos are getting better and better (thumbs up) You really should have 600K subscribers LOL
Thanks a lot Clemens! I wish I had and didn't have to think about earning money ;)
4 for me is the image l like the most, black and white suits the location.
Thank you for your thoughts, Fred. I really love those muted red and blue colors :)
Again a great video Mads! All the pictures are great in there own regards, for me personally No 4 speaks the most.
Thank you for your thoughts, Daniel :)
Another great video Mads and more locations for me to visit at some point. My favourite image is number 3, I love the drama of the clouds.
Thank you for your thoughts, Peter! :)
Your composite of Stonehenge and the Milky Way is just something else. It shows it how it must have looked to those who built it all those years ago, when they there sat under the stars. Timeless, ethereal and beautiful - thank you.
Thank you for your thoughts :) Yes exactly!
HI Mads. I said it last time, and ill say it again.... Great to see a fellow photographer who is serious about his Vlogs. Your style is very 'documentarial' in style which is aweoms. Professioanl production and a good mix of media. Love your moody post production of your images too mate!. Well done.
Regards,
Ewan
Ewan Dunsmuir Images thank you so much! I'm very happy you enjoy the videos :)
4! ... I just love the sense of scale
Thank you for your thoughts :)
#3 - you perfectly display the iconic stones with great effect and master the difficulty of showing it like it was a lonely place
Thank you for your thoughts :) Happy to hear that :)
No 3 and 6. Just brilliant.
You make me very proud of the geography and some of the history of my nation and very pleased and proud to have you here. There are several photographers on TH-cam who should have hundreds of thousands of subscribers, you and Paul G Johnson are two names that spring to mind.
Thank you so much Mark! Means a lot :)
Hi Mark, you are absolutely right both should deserve far more subscribers compared the effort they put to their Vblogs than people who are just introducing the latest new mobile from which brand ever but have hundreds of thousands subscribers. ;-) Nothing against them but you cannot compare.....
Thank you Stephan :)
My main theory is simply I don't get featured on any photography blogs because I haven't made any directly educational videos yet. The bloggers/journalists on those blogs can't decipher the learning/information I put into my videos unless I explicitly write it in the title of the video. It requires way too much effort from their side to come up with an original text to go along with my content, compared to just write a few words about some other photographers top 3 tips for landscape photography ;)
6 - Awesome!!!
6, spectacular!! I love the composite ! Also big fan of 1 too ! A few places I’ve never visited and I’m from southern England ! I am a huge fan of fantasy game of thrones etc too so I totally get the adding the fantasy element. Keep up the great work Mads !
Thank you for your thoughts, Joe! Yes exactly - no shame in admitting we love fantasy. It doesn't always have to be so hipster to be a photographer ;)
Mads Peter Iversen personally I have a passion for photography but especially landscapes and Astro ! I love portraits but I don’t feel any shame doing hipster composites Street whatever ! If the opportunity is there and I have my camera I’m going for it ! Plus photography is art no one should tell you you’re faking it ! You’re interpreting it in your own way which thousands of people love ! Keep going mate your channel videos and especially images are awesome and inspiring !! If you ever want to expand your operation let me know as I’d love to move into photography and with someone who’s Work I love and could learn from would be a bonus !!
I try and come close to what you do but fail. Thanks to you I strive to be better everyday.
You will rise one day! ;)
2 for the atmosphere. Similar to where I grew up but we didn't have castles 😊 feels like home
Nothing wrong with mixing photos up, it’s all about interpretation, and number 6 shows what was in your minds eye, love it, keep up the good work, I enjoyed stone henge, I went before, when you could walk amongst the stones, and I have spent a lot of time rock climbing in north wales, I look forward to seeing your photos there!
Thank you Haydn! YEah exactly, mixing and matching photos just makes them even more unique and personal :)
Superb video and some stunning images - Inspirational!
Thank you very kindly Philip :)
Of the pics here - I like 4 the most. Having said that, I also like a couple from the last few pics (not listed) of the countryside.
Thank you for your thoughts, Sasidhar :)
3 is amazing.
Mads, brilliant again, great passion, a new location(4) for me, great stuff and adding to my list, personal favourite for me is 5, some lovely elements coming together, nice when that happens, looking forward to the next one..... tusind tak.....
Haha you're welcome Jamie :) Thank you for your thoughts too :)
Another excellent video Mads and superb locations
Thank you Ciara! Yeah I really like these ones :)
Great video as always mads! you never cease to inspire me.
You are very welcome :)
#4 and #5 love #4 because of the triangle compositon and the color - and the rock looks amazig of course! I like #5 because of the sun. Makes the connection to astronomy, which is great with that subject. I find i pretty generous to share and describe all the locations! Looking forward to your next video.
Love the video.
I like picture five and six the Best.
Thank you Michael :)
2 is great, but I’d crop closer. Love the way the asymmetrical ridge slopes are continued in the church. My favorite is 6. I ‘m pretty certain the Milky Way is never vertical at Stonehenge, so that tells me this is not just a documentation of exactly what you saw. I think it is still a valid landscape if it represents something you imagined when you saw it. I see your image as a powerful representation of the myth that Stonehenge is where a line of power on the Earth connects to the cosmos. Putting all that in the exact middle is then a master stroke.
Thanks for your thoughts Stuart :) The Milky Way is vertical during autumn, but not from that direction ;)
Another great program. For me number 4 is the best. Shows the size with a person in the scene. Perfect leading line and rule of thirds. Not 6 though.
Thank you for your thoughts, Tom :)
Yes 3 was the one for me...great video.
Thanks a lot Keith :)
I like 2 because it’s minimal and the perspective is intriguing.
love #4!!! my most fav :)
Thank you for your thoughts, Andy :)
I prefer nr 3 the most. The long exposure makes it look like the scène is alive and enhances the mystique around Stonehenge. 6 i also do like and is very wel crafted. And 4 is just such an great and simpel composition that you’ve got to love it!
I love it, #2.
Nice work! I was down on Dartmoor last Sunday and could see Brentor Church from the tor that I was walking on. Looked dramatic from there, too!
YEah seen a few shots from afar, looks really nice!
Fantastic Mads. Thank you for sharing that.
You're welcome and thanks a lot :)
1,3 et surtout la 6 sont superbes et mystiques à souhaits. Un tutoriel pour les changements de ciel avec la voie lactée me plairait bien. J'attends avec impatience l'Ecosse. Je regrette un peu les présentations avec les cartes en intro. Merci
English? ;)
I've come from the FStoppers post, your post is very very nice :) wish you the best and I agree on what you said in the FStoppers comment!
Thank you very much :)
A great video and wonderful photographs - very difficult to choose just one but I'll go for number 6. Very beautiful and very skilfully constructed! Thanks Mads
5. THAT is just a fantastic image!
Nice video again! Love pic #1 because of the solitude of the church, the fabulous leading lines and the nice sky.
Thank you so very much Martien! I love that photo too :)
Number 4. No doubt about that for me Mads. It's got great perspective with that low PoV, great composition and exposure, and the cool sky colours go well with those warmer tones in the rocks. Damn, I need to do this myself, but it's such a pain in the bum to get there from Cheshire!
I think 5 is spectacular too with the halo. Perfect position for the cloud movement in 3.
When I shoot the MW I always do it 'in situ', but I still end up compositing the stars with a separate shot of the foreground. In 5 you are facing south west so this composition is representative of reality - it would happen at 8pm tonight on that very spot. But your chances of a clear sky there would be slim to say the least.
Brilliant group of shots Mads :)
Try getting there from Denmark ;) MAke a small vacation out of it. There're some great B&B locations in the area! :) And thanks for the thoughts on the photos :)
You have given me new inspiration to photograph my home country. Thank you, you are an invaluable source of information and inspiration!
Aaron Jenkin I'm very happy to hear that! You're welcome :)
