- I love Seascape photography and in this video from my new favorite location in Iceland, I share my approach on how to do seascapes. I talk about settings, light, and composition - everything you need to make beautiful seascape photos. Long exposure, movement, ISO, aperture etc. Along with Nigel Danson, I explore this beautiful location! Be sure to check out his video from here too!

The one place l drove past as it was pouring with rain. Wish l had seen this video back then. Magic, Mads, pure magic!
FRED COOK, thank you very much! And a good reason to return ;) Did you know about it before you went to Iceland?
Mads Peter Iversen Sadly no!
Nice duck from the drone! When you listed all the things Eystrahorn had to offer, I got a weird grin on my face. Those mountains are so gorgeous you don't need to take an image. It will burn itself in your mind. That being said, your image at 13:56, holy mother of dragons.
oddbjørn austevik foto. Thank you very much! Just wait for the aurora photos on Tuesday ;)
Stunning and unbelievably beautiful how God made this earth. Mads you capture the beauty of Iceland better than anyone I have seen and you have done such a fantastic job in your narration and your recommendations for the best locations and times to photograph. If you ever do a hard cover book I want it for sure. Amazing job once again!!
Another fabulous episode of your amazing Iceland series
Jami Davis thank you very, very much :)
Another amazing location and tips ! You always deliver a highly educational and inspirational video. The pictures are stunning !!!!
Mario Valkenborg you're most welcome as always Mario! :)
What a joy it would be if Nigel were joining us :)
Wow Mads! Speechless! What an epic series of shots! Iceland was on my bucket list and I visited for the first time last November..... I must go back, that feeling of raw nature I have not felt anywhere else. Your Faroe series inspired us to plan our holiday there this year, can't wait! Many thanks for the fantastic and inspiring photos and film!
Uncle Bob you're very welcome! You should go back for sure ;)
Your episodes are simply amazing. The textures in the images right after Nigel speaks provide incredible drama. Thanks so much for everything.
Brad Zaruba thanks a lot man! Means a lot you like them :)
Brilliant Mads - you nailed the drone shots - much braver than me... Best quote - 'I do not want to get wet, I have more to do today...' Yep! A lot more....
Nigel Danson haha, yes exactly! It'll come on Tuesday ;)
After having seen you standing at the very edge of cliffs, the tension in your voice when the tide comes in made me smile. The VLOG is great, one of the best you made I think. So is the music in the end. Pictures-wise, I particularly like your long exposure and the last sunset shot. You make an amazing ad of the location as well, which I hope will not lose its peaceful
and remote atmosphere. Thanks Mads!
Luke K, thank you very much! :) It probably won't be much more crowded than it is now ;)
Love the way the clouds just lick around the mountain tops in the 1st image. Just a great set of images Mads, and a good heads-up about a less touristy place on Iceland.
paul trunfull you're very welcome and thanks a lot! I love that detail too :)
This is the first of the Iceland series that the 4K footage really shines! The drone shots are simply amazing! As far as capturing the waves, I think your style is my favourite, it makes them look as brush strokes, so delicate but so powerful. Just stunning job, man!
Bobby Babaletskos thank you very much! Yeah, I guess I'd be a painter or concept artist if I wasn't a photographer ;)
Inspirational! You probably have the best Iceland landscape videos of any travel channel out there. Outstanding drone footage and great images! Keep up the awesome work.
Teja Pamganamamula , thank you very, very much! :)
A fantastic location beautifully and expertly captured, the drone video was stunning!
John Sanders thank you very much! :)
Mads, just completely thrilled by watching this.. super!
Dave Zuuring you're so very welcome! I'm happy to hear that :)
Mind blown. Epic location, amazing images.
Jon Paul Thank you so much! Means a lot :)
Amazing location, superb drone and stills work, and very informative. You deserve to have a much larger following!
Brian R , thank you very much! I hope it'll come eventually :)
Amazing, the artist works his magic. Stunning.
Michael Corrigan haha thanks a lot 😁
Beautiful images in a stunning landscape meds
David Pearce thanks a lot! :)
This looks like a massive location. I'm glad that you too share the same nerves for flying the drone above sea. I was at Old Harry Rocks a couple of weeks ago and I just couldn't find the guts to fly the thing far above sea, maybe because I'm still a novice I suppose. Great stuff Mads !
Frederic Demeus hehe I don't think being a 'prof' changes that :p
I really regret I did not know about the location when I went there. I have to come back... Thank you for the discovery!
Rafal Hyps you're very welcome :)
Great Location with plenty of opportunities. Your images take you taken at this place are amazing. The Drohefly is very good. Superb video 👍
Thank you very much, Michael! :)
Love the location and your captures. Definitely on my list for my future Iceland visit. Thank you for sharing!
Martin Latterich you're most welcome! And thanks :)
Just read through the comments and I can add nothing thats not already been said. Thank you Mads for this video, so beautiful
Peter Biggin that's also enough! Thank you so much :)
exceptional images! You are touching new heights with your photography.
Stephen Hutchins thank you very much! :)
La photo à 14.39 est juste sublime....
TheMarcao93 thank you very much :)
That was brilliant mads. Awesome location and breathtaking images and drone footage
Thanks a lot! I'm happy you liked it, Jim :)
Absolute stunning.... these pictures are really out of this world! 👍
MrFrankie1311 thank you so much! :)
Wow, what a awesome pictures....Stunning location...
Jiri Vrablik Thank you very much as always :)
An Epic location. I really enjoyed being there with you on your photo workshop tour back in February.
Richard Valenti I'm so happy to hear that Richard! I very much enjoyed your optimistic company too! 😊👍
One of the best vlogs yet Mads! will have to check this location if I ever get the opportunity to revisit Iceland one day.
Elgan Jones , thank you very much! And I hope you do :)
Looks totally amazing. Hate to use the word again, but maybe even EPIC! My list of Iceland location grows and grows!
Julian Baird - Landscape Photography hehe, epic is the right word ;)
Man, this is one of my favourite episodes from your Iceland collection. Truly amazing.
Mads, beautiful, beautiful photographs! Had to pick my jaw off the floor at the end of the video. :)
P.S: Thanks for the amazing drone videos. I can only imagine how much work and planning it takes to produce such cinematic videos so regularly.
A cat all in all it takes a lot of time, but admittedly I improvise a lot on location :)
Incredible location and just in awe at the images you took and shared Mads - truly amazing work. Your chosen soundtrack works fantastically with the dramatic scenes you both witnessed 👍
Jamie Overland thank you so much! Very happy you like the music! Be sure to check out Dominik A Hecker's TH-cam :)
So beautiful. Thank you , Mads.
Anja Husfeld thank you very much as always :)
Another star on my Google maps thanks to you Mads! Thank you for another fantastic video (complete with Lord-of-the-ringsy music which fits these landscapes so well :D ) I'll certainly stop here on my way to the Eastern fjords
Adrian Cardona I'm so happy you heard the LOTR'ish music! That's indeed what sparks my imagination on a location like this :)
Mads Peter Iversen it certainly does! Looking forward to the next episode :-)
Absolutely Stunning! As always you bring a new understanding of landscape photography!
Biff Yeager thank you very, very much! :)
Incredible Vlog; absolute authority on Iceland. I think you are quickly becoming the best landscape vlogger on youtube. Congratulations. Your images are amazing also... I wouldn’t be surprised if some big opportunities come your way after this fast profession from your earliest videos.
Michael Cowen thank you so, so much! That's a very sweet compliment :)
Gosh an amazing location. Absolutely loved the images and video.
Allan Marshall thank you very much! :)
Beautiful! Your content is absolutley stunning! Keep it up 👌 One of the best channels on yt!
s Brenden thank you very much! Means a lot :)
Some absolutely fantastic images Mads, well done mate! 'Epic"
Darren Booker thank you very much! :)
Mads, that was awesome! Those images from the air and on the land were just heart-stopping. You captured the waves hitting the rocks and exploding, almost like fireworks. Iceland here I come.
Bill Reid I'm so happy to hear that! I also hope you get some amazing photos!
Awesome Video! Another amazing and fascinating location. You are helping us to visit more places in Iceland and the list grows.. Thank you!
Fantastic video Mads one of your best yet, I certainly also missed it driving past it last October, but will be on my list for next time
Ingo Schroeder , thank you very much as always! I hope you get some great shots :)
Amazing vlog absolutely stunning images thank you for taking the time to make this channel best on you tube cheers
paul jones you're most welcome! And thanks a lot :)
Stellar work Mads! The drone footage is so mesmerizing. Just mind blowing. Thanks for sharing it as it’s not a location I’m likely to visit but thanks to you I feel like I have.
John Sholian you're most welcome! I'm happy I can provide such an experience :)
Great video, Great TH-cam channel. Going to Iceland for the first time on Saturday. Used your videos as a inspiration, research and planning tool. Keep up the good work.
Peter Hoy , thank you very much I'm happy my videos work :)
Fantastic images😊 I’ve visited Vestrahorn, but not here yet, on a very grey moody morning. I wish I’d have been blessed with such super light. I’ll be sure to check it out on my next visit😊
Kev Lockwood it's just about the persistence ;) I hope you get your photos :)
Another stunning location and set of photos
Great video and stunning images Mads. Many thanks for sharing. Really enjoying your Iceland series. Planning to go there this year.
Epic video mads, fantastic location & another one been added to my ever growing list 🙂
A.T.Fellows78 hehe, yeah they keep growing. They never shrink for some weird reason :p
Thanks for sharing! I came across your channel just some days ago and the tips are great. I drove around Iceland last summer and missed out on many locations driving by etc. Returning in July again and i'll be sure to visit these areas this time around. Keep it up!
You're most welcome and welcome aboard! :) I hope you'll get some good inspiration :)
I've visited this location today at sunrise, its amazing! I've seen all your Island videos, you are really doing a great job, it's an excellent combination between traveling guide and photography. Thank you for that and keep going!
Thank you very much, Tom! :)
What a great video again ! Thank you so much for sharing that unique destination 👌
Print Photo you're most welcome and thanks a lot :)
I hope to visit this location the next time I go to Iceland, as well as to try my luck again at Reykjanestá for some epic seascapes. As always Mads, top marks!
Jon Grall thank you as always! I hope you get your shots :)
Mads Peter Iversen Thanks! I’m also looking forward to some newsletter updates on upcoming workshops that you mentioned in a recent video... would love to attend if I can.

Hi Mads. WOW !! What a unique location !! You've created a fabulous video and I love the drone footage of the ridge and pinnacle at 07:40 plus the aerial still at 08:24. Excellent, top quality film making, plus a compelling narrative. Can't wait for your next video. Massive thanks for sharing Mads.

Ronny Olsson you did indeed! I absolutely love it! And thank you very much :)
Another great video Mads. Difficult to find new words to express my admiration for your images. Iceland a place I must visit.
Jim Hamilton thanks a lot! I hope you get there eventually :)
Where do I start, a truly awesome video. Love the style the content, and, of course, the images are awesome. I'd go so far as to say Ansel Adams would approve!! Awesome Mads just AWESOME!!!
Tim Blake haha! I hope he would. Thank you very much! :)
Incredible location and images!
ANDYD655 , thank you very much!
Great choice in the music for this epic photo story, I felt like I was watching a movie :D
The Mads Genius does it again! I've already started saving my pennies for when you lead a photo tour. I know many others offer them but let's just say I'm holding out for the best. Really amazing stuff here!
fatbaldandhappy hehe that sounds so good! Means a lot. The competition in this market is tough! (Check out the description) ;)
I hope someday I can visit those amazing Lands. Until that day, I'm glad to enjoy your videos.
Thanks a lot for sharing your experiences.
I hope you'll get there eventually! And you're very welcome :)
Incredible Images!
jarod17 , thank you very much!
Absolut amazing Video. I love your videos. You are great.👍👍👍
Thank you so much! :)
Hi Mads, really love your videos. Inspiring from a photographers view and just great to watch..
Unfortunately I‘ve first found them after my second trip to Iceland....best, Carsten
Nice video , great images especially at 14:36 is very very stunning ....
ishak wicamulia thank you very, very much :)
Great informative video, and awesome images.
Parabaldie Photography, thank you very much!
Mads, your vlogs just keep getting better and better, if that is possible! One question please. You don’t appear to use polarising filters for seascapes as often as some photographers. What are your thoughts on this please?
Tony Turner I would use it for the most part. It just broke before I went to Iceland ;)
Stunning!
Excellent video and in good company. Awesome location.
14:15. Well done. Again!
vargavideo thanks a lot! Again ;)
Hi Mads, i have been following your channel for a few weeks and watched almost every video as well as listened to you on Nick Pages podcast. I absolutely love your work, both photos and videos. Keep up the great work.
I just noticed you using a Sony camera at 03:58? Which camera was it? Are you planning on switching to Sony?
Graham I'm so happy to hear that and thanks a lot! :) Yes, that's indeed a Sony, it's the a7rIII :)
What makes the mountain of Eystrahorn so special is that it's nowhere near a "regular" mountain. It's not a volcano - where lava has erupted out of the ground to create a mountain. Nor is it a regular glacier carved mountain where glaciers have carved mountains out of platous, comprised of layers of lava, as most of the mountains of the eastfjords, There you just see all the different layers of strata in the hill sides.
Eystrahorn hower doesn't have any layers of lava in it. Eystrahorn is a very special mountain. It is actually an exposed solidified magma chamber. So this piece of mountain was actually some km below the ground when it was formed. And now, as this is part of the oldest land in Iceland, numerous ice ages and its glaciers have simply removed all the topsoil from this place and exposed the solidified magma chamber. Truly one of the most wonderous places in Iceland in my opinion.
Stunning 😍
You mentioned using crampons for the slippery rocks but I'd say that could almost be more dangerous. Look for hiking boots with vibram soles. I have them for my work boots where could be dealing with oily surfaces and have never had an issue. If I can walk on a slippery pipe and not slip they will work for a rock for sure since there will at least be something for the boots to grip to. I believe the Vibram TC5+ soles will give you the best traction. They should also handle ice pretty well.
David Penner , thank you very much for that tip! I'll definitely look into that :)
WOW
You got a nice drone shot in!
Fantastic video Mads! - I thought the little wave from the guy in the blue jacket was a nice little touch at 6:56. Sony camera I see in the first shot? :)
Wau 👍👍😍😍
Love the series. The photographs are spectacular. Is the light harsh at all mid day during the equinox?
Eric Stadler yes it is, too harsh to my taste at least ;)
so amazing !!
Fantastic 👏👏
Another inspirational video Mads, the sequence of images and music at 16:20 gave me goosebumps it was so powerful! I followed the link provided to Dominick Heckers soundcloud but couldn’t find that particular track, please could you let me know the name of the track, it would be much appreciated. Your images and his music are a powerful combination, can’t wait for the next episode!
Martin Evans I'm so happy to hear that! That's the best feeling :)
Here's a link to the song, be sure to leave him a comment, he deserves it!
th-cam.com/video/PK26xhz0SKo/w-d-xo.html
Mads Peter Iversen Thanks for the link Mads, I’ve just subscribed to his channel and looking forward to discovering his library of work 👍
Incredible episode again Mads and looking at the scenery, I can appreciate why you and Nigel stayed there for 14 hours. The images from the ground and air were breathtaking and spectacular. Can I ask what filter system you use and do you buy different filters for each of your lens or do you use the step up ring system?
scotty4418 thanks a lot as always! Yeah sure! I have a Haida circular 10-stop and breakthrough circular 6-stop. Both 82mm and having a step-up ring from 77mm-82mm. My 82mm polerizing filter broke before Iceland so I only have an old 77mm pol at the moment :)
I remember driving around it, in the constant rain with low clouds rolling down the mountain wishing only for a vantage point - now I know.
