To start with... what a great teacher you are! I am so thankful for having you in my life as my teacher. So enjoy the little details that are shared in this video. Really the horizon being visible makes it still very real as if it is still a part of this world before the cross over to the other world. And between the two... Well, they are different parts of the story... one is about moving to that point of the cross over and the other one is considering the point now that he has arrived. They are both wonderful... great job and thanks for sharing ! )))
Unreal photo)) You breathe meaning into a seemingly ordinary plot. And yet, you feel and see an optical illusion. The lower right corner in the photo seems to be stretched downward, rechecked the horizontals and they are fine) Thank you, after watching yours videos I want to take a camera and go take pictures)))
Hi Mads. Great video. There is actually a small spring of water nearby, when walking back from the bridge to the parking lot. That could be a nice long exposure as well.
I like the second image because, as you said, it does look more haunting. Also, based on what I can see on the small screen of my computer, I looks like you're walking away from the camera and leaving an ethereal trail behind you.
The both pictures are insane, the shadows, the lines on the floor and the smooth water...but the second picture is more enigmatic / mysterious!! One more time thank you so much for your video(s)!!
I appreciate that you had an idea and concept for this long exposure beyond the minimalist idea. I like both final images with the first edging out for favorite. Thanks.
Mads I'm going to give these images several days or even weeks before picking a favorite. I want to see them over and over again. These are worth it. Phil
This is an ideal example of what we were talking about on Friday, finding something meaningful and metaphorical close to home. Nice job man. And looking forward to our chat again on Monday.
Love it Mads ! The last picture is more ghostly and more my thing ..... but maybe the 2 pictures combined "2 ghosts finding each other on the infinite circle"
they are both good and even before you indicated you were going with B/W, that is what I thought you should do. After looking at both a little more, I like the second shot.
I liked the first image more immediately because I understood the message right away. The second image took longer to sink in, but once it did it became my favorite.
A very good result. I can hardly decide which picture is the better one. But the second one is definitely more "artistic". I also found the bridge some time ago during a "Google Earth Virtual Location Scouting" action. But I did not get to it yet. But who knows, I have a photographer in Denmark, who wants to go with me to take pictures. I am always surprised how many people ask if they would walk through the picture. One hardly expects so much consideration nowadays. But there are just as many who do not ask.
Another very instructive video, tks! Either photo resonates for me. Glad to see the public respected your presence, undoubtedly due to your attitude that 'we wait for the scene to become available'. So many photographers egos don't leave space for the rest of humanity to enjoy the planet.
Second photo definitely wins for me Mads. In the first the person is quite small in the scenery, whereas in the second, the walking into eternity story is there. Water and sky the same colour, yes that would have an interesting effect. I can certainly see more photos coming from here at some time in the future. Thanks for sharing Mads. Always interesting.
Personally, I prefer the second image. I too think you should return to this spot when the weather is foggy and rainy, possibly using the 10 stop filter to smooth out the scene even more. Great video, Mads. I always enjoy your content very much.
I prefer the first one, the composition is more minimalist but the second photo really gives a special touch of mystery and for that I have to say "well done"!! Very inspiring video!
Different approach of a landscape and I have to say that the result is wonderful. Especially the second photo is so ethereal, moody and mysterious, I liked it a lot.
My heart was in my mouth when you walked away from the camera into shot. I imagined the bridge to be bouncy and the camera ending in the drink. Love both images but the second one IMO has the edge. Thanks, love your videos.
Great photos! I was musing as to whether a shot with the camera up a fair bit higher would work. You could take the horizon line out of the shot completely. I love the minimalist bridge too without rails. I don't think we could build one like that here in Australia. All our officials would run around in circles screaming and then all their heads would fall off. :)
I also love the video Mads and subscribed to your channel on the strength of that vid! The first photo is particularly stunning. Maybe the definition of "fine art photograph" would be 'art for arts sake' as opposed to, say 'graphic art photography' where these is a more tangible result being sought. And this was a 'fine' example of 'fine' art photography - yep English is like that!
it's definitely the second photo for me! much more emphasis on the person in the picture. in the first one for me the person is just an additional, extra piece of the picture, but on the second even though its the same view, the environment is "just there" to create the mood of the picture with person in it.
I like the first photo of you at the end of the bridge, the second one is good too but I find the image of you a little busy for my taste. I love that you chose black and white as well, its adds to the mystique of the picture.
I like both photos, and I think the horizon actually adds to the moody context. After looking hard and comparing both i was actually surprised to find that I like the second, "ghostly'' image even better. It just seems to capture an ethereal sense and mood.
First shot for me Mads. Your eye travels around the bridge and stops at the person, almost like a full stop, then moves back along the bridge again to explore it in greater detail
WOW @6:37 Peter, fantastic work. Thank-you for sharing. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. Just found your channel, I'm "liking" and "subscribing"
For me, I like the first image however I can’t help thinking it would be better without the horizon, whereas I think the second one is brilliant. Personally I feel once the water has been smoothed to that extend, image reality can take a back seat to creativity. Like you say, it’s haunting. 👏
MADS-- You are so incredibly talented and visionary of what you want long before you actually take the photo! I loved both photos and printing in Black & White was the proper choice. Randy B.
Personally I prefer the first photo! Thank you for sharing your photographic experience with us! It's always nice to watch your videos and listen to your advice which is enriching! See you soon for new adventures!
Interesting video - many thanks. I preferred the first image. For me, it gave it more scale, which added to the mystery. I can see how you might want to eliminate the horizon line, which is quite a dominant (somewhat unwelcome?) feature of the image. Lots of food for thought for me (trying to!!) create similar images.
Always great to see new content from you, Mads! I'm always impressed and inspired by the amount of thought you put into a single photo, and it's a good reminder for me to stay on track and create what has meaning for me! :)
Nice shots and concept, the first shot somehow made me think of Anthony Gormley's Another Place where cast iron sculptures of himself stare out to sea. But the end shot is also interesting too.
Excellent images and a great video as always. Hard to chose a favourite, second one maybe! Both stunning and would be marvellous big prints hung on the wall! All the best!
I vote for the second shot, it has a soul....brings you inside the photo and make you walk over the bridge. Congrats!!
I like the second image because it gives a real sense of mystery & creativity
Definitely the second image. Ghostly is the perfect description. I like it.
Man, I don’t know if I can say that I like one over the other but there’s something particularly captivating about the second shot.
My clear favourite is the ‘ghostly’ version of you. Love it.
Wow! Both photographs are gorgeous. But I definitely prefer the 2nd one. It is hauntingly beautiful!
Thank you so much, Ellen :)
First image for me as the distance adds to the sense of isolation that the image conveys.
Very nice
Number two for me. I liked the surreal look of it.
I like watching your videos which are very enlightening with good advice and tips. I prefer the the first photo with you on the extreme right.
To start with... what a great teacher you are! I am so thankful for having you in my life as my teacher. So enjoy the little details that are shared in this video.

They are both wonderful... great job and thanks for sharing ! )))
Just Wow! Pic #1 for me... The mystery of the one... is such a cool touch!
I can't choose one over the other. They're both incredible and they tell two different stories. Both stories are intriguing.
I prefer the first image. Amazing shot and another awesome video. Thanks Mads.
I like both of them. They each dig into your mind and pull out and emotion. The one you like will depend on your emotion at the time of viewing.
It’s the first one for me, love the way the leading line takes you to the subject which is then not pin sharp adding a mystery to the picture.
The first one is beautiful and more minimalist, but the second one is just great.
I prefer the second photo, perfect with the sounds background and pictures tells soul in motion.
second photo was the best, but both are awesome each conveys a different mood.
First image for me. The second is too haunting to hang up in a home. Thanks for your great films!
Unreal photo))
You breathe meaning into a seemingly ordinary plot.
And yet, you feel and see an optical illusion. The lower right corner in the photo seems to be stretched downward, rechecked the horizontals and they are fine)

Hi Mads. Great video. There is actually a small spring of water nearby, when walking back from the bridge to the parking lot. That could be a nice long exposure as well.
I like the minimalistic approach.
I liked the first photo. I also didn't mind the horizon line either. I think it added to the composition.
I like the second image because, as you said, it does look more haunting. Also, based on what I can see on the small screen of my computer, I looks like you're walking away from the camera and leaving an ethereal trail behind you.
Nice photos. I like the second the most! More mystic and it makes you wonder who/what is that figure, which direction is he walking and so on.
The both pictures are insane, the shadows, the lines on the floor and the smooth water...but the second picture is more enigmatic / mysterious!! One more time thank you so much for your video(s)!!
I appreciate that you had an idea and concept for this long exposure beyond the minimalist idea. I like both final images with the first edging out for favorite. Thanks.
The second photo is the preffered photo! It's like someone's soul walking the path into the light.
I have a hard time to decide between both. I think I would use them together side by side. Nice work. Love it.
The first photo is deep and great
I can't dicide, as both are touching in their own way and you can choose diffent ways of individual interpretations. Thank you!
Mads I'm going to give these images several days or even weeks before picking a favorite. I want to see them over and over again. These are worth it. Phil
Thank you very much, Phil, next video is Tuesday, new images to contemplate ;)
This is an ideal example of what we were talking about on Friday, finding something meaningful and metaphorical close to home. Nice job man. And looking forward to our chat again on Monday.
Thanks a lot, Alister! Looking forward to our chat! :)
Like your video format and the way you present the subject.
Both photos are really great. It's hard to.say which is best.
I love the final one
Love it Mads ! The last picture is more ghostly and more my thing ..... but maybe the 2 pictures combined "2 ghosts finding each other on the infinite circle"
they are both good and even before you indicated you were going with B/W, that is what I thought you should do. After looking at both a little more, I like the second shot.
very eerie and after life shots esp the second pne.
I liked the first image more immediately because I understood the message right away. The second image took longer to sink in, but once it did it became my favorite.
The first image for me Mads I like how your personage connects the sky and the sea as it is the only thing which crosses the horizon.
They both have their own merits Mads and give a very different feel. Thanks for sharing
I was floored by this video! Thank you for sharing your gift with us! This video has helped me in so many ways....
So happy to hear that! :)
Very nice presentation. Lovely moody setting. I prefer the second image as more eerie and mysterious. Great emotional impact. Nice one.
Very nice image. The blurry subject really makes it ethereal. Great shot.
Thanks Mads for inspireing me and others with great informatical videos. For me the first one was more WOW.
Thanks for yet another inspiring video Mads. You are adding so much value into your videos that your channel have become my favorite channel now.
The auto generated english subtitles at 5:34 is just pure gold.
I like the second version better. But the first picture is wonderful. The second picture is very mystical. Amazing pictures!
A very good result. I can hardly decide which picture is the better one. But the second one is definitely more "artistic".
I also found the bridge some time ago during a "Google Earth Virtual Location Scouting" action.
But I did not get to it yet. But who knows, I have a photographer in Denmark, who wants to go with me to take pictures.
I am always surprised how many people ask if they would walk through the picture.
One hardly expects so much consideration nowadays. But there are just as many who do not ask.
It's a big part of the Danish mentality not to be obnoxious in public. It's very common not to walk in front of people's cameras :)
Another very instructive video, tks! Either photo resonates for me. Glad to see the public respected your presence, undoubtedly due to your attitude that 'we wait for the scene to become available'. So many photographers egos don't leave space for the rest of humanity to enjoy the planet.
Luckily that's not my experience. My experience is photographers don't have space for other photographers :P
Second photo definitely wins for me Mads.
In the first the person is quite small in the scenery, whereas in the second, the walking into eternity story is there.
Water and sky the same colour, yes that would have an interesting effect.
I can certainly see more photos coming from here at some time in the future.
Thanks for sharing Mads. Always interesting.
Mads, I liked all your photos. If I had to choose one, I would select the first.
Personally, I prefer the second image. I too think you should return to this spot when the weather is foggy and rainy, possibly using the 10 stop filter to smooth out the scene even more. Great video, Mads. I always enjoy your content very much.
Both are really great, but the second photo is my hands-down favourite. Like you said, it's haunting.
I like either one, hard for me to judge. This is well done, well made photograph and video.
I prefer the first one, the composition is more minimalist but the second photo really gives a special touch of mystery and for that I have to say "well done"!! Very inspiring video!
Definitely the second one, because there is something more arty about it
Great outcomes. photo 1, but both are good. black and white good choice.
Loved the second image!
Different approach of a landscape and I have to say that the result is wonderful. Especially the second photo is so ethereal, moody and mysterious, I liked it a lot.
My heart was in my mouth when you walked away from the camera into shot. I imagined the bridge to be bouncy and the camera ending in the drink. Love both images but the second one IMO has the edge. Thanks, love your videos.
Second image for me! Your pose in the first one feels contrived, and the movement in the second adds mystery.
Great photos! I was musing as to whether a shot with the camera up a fair bit higher would work. You could take the horizon line out of the shot completely. I love the minimalist bridge too without rails. I don't think we could build one like that here in Australia. All our officials would run around in circles screaming and then all their heads would fall off. :)
Same here in the UK.
I used to do lots of long exposure images may have to do some more
I also love the video Mads and subscribed to your channel on the strength of that vid!

Maybe the definition of "fine art photograph" would be 'art for arts sake' as opposed to, say 'graphic art photography' where these is a more tangible result being sought.

I do like the second one more. The figure is more blurry and I think that makes the horizon look even sharper.
Utterly superb, great image concept, perfectly executed.
Great insights as usual. Both are beautiful images, I prefer the second for its more ethereal feel.
Haunting, to be sure. I like both concepts. Jury is out on which is "better". Rock on!
First shot for me Mads. Your eye travels around the bridge and stops at the person, almost like a full stop, then moves back along the bridge again to explore it in greater detail
The first photo is neat. Like it.
Simple but beautiful.
WOW @6:37 Peter, fantastic work. Thank-you for sharing. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. Just found your channel, I'm "liking" and "subscribing"
Thanks a lot, Rich, welcome aboard :)
Both are good for different reasons. great video. thanks
I really like the first main shot. Awesome 👌
I like both shots but prefer the first one. Very cool.
Great vídeo and pictures. These are the kind of photos I'm working on.
For me, I like the first image however I can’t help thinking it would be better without the horizon, whereas I think the second one is brilliant. Personally I feel once the water has been smoothed to that extend, image reality can take a back seat to creativity. Like you say, it’s haunting. 👏

2nd Photo was amazing Mads. 'Bridging Eternal Dimensions'
Very nice photo I love this sort of photography
Interesting video - many thanks. I preferred the first image. For me, it gave it more scale, which added to the mystery. I can see how you might want to eliminate the horizon line, which is quite a dominant (somewhat unwelcome?) feature of the image. Lots of food for thought for me (trying to!!) create similar images.
The second image has more mystery in my opinion. It looks like a very interesting location that has lots of potential Thanks for a great video.
Another banger, no color needee, keeping it simple. Love it!
Thank you. Brilliant vlog. Brilliant idea. I have been watching a few of your vlog's. Keep up the good work. P.S. as a Scot I love your accent.
I like the second photo. Great work.😊
Always great to see new content from you, Mads! I'm always impressed and inspired by the amount of thought you put into a single photo, and it's a good reminder for me to stay on track and create what has meaning for me! :)
Nice shots and concept, the first shot somehow made me think of Anthony Gormley's Another Place where cast iron sculptures of himself stare out to sea. But the end shot is also interesting too.
Both pictures are great. The second one is the better of the two.
Wow! Wonderful photos!
Both images equally as good with a very different feel to each, beautiful photos and I appreciate the technical info. Thank you
Nice work, Mads! I prefer the second image. As you said, it’s haunting/ghostly.
Excellent images and a great video as always. Hard to chose a favourite, second one maybe! Both stunning and would be marvellous big prints hung on the wall! All the best!
Another wonderful video. Your videos are very well structured and are seamless. Keep inspiring
The first is my preference as your eye looks at the whole picture, I think.
