Wow! What a great memory to have been in an episode from Mads! The trip far exceeded my wildest expectations, and to have the trip beautifully chronicled is quite a treat. Thanks Mads and Jeroen!
What a stunning opening to what turned out to be an outstanding video Mads. So many beautiful images it’s hard for me to pick a favourite this week but I really loved the second last image of you standing there with the aurora and stars overhead. What a memorable moment to capture
Absolutely beautiful landscapes, as always btw. Mads, you are a reference photographer for me. I would like to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH for sharing your skills, your experience and your friendly way of doing it. I follow you since years and believe me that each of your videos, IG posts, even your e-books are received with great value.
Here is a top tip for acquiring top quality lenses on a budget: Buy them second hand. And if you own a mirrorless camera, you can almost use lenses from almost any brand with an adapter. These days you find affordable adapter's that let you use Autofocus and image stabilizer on the lens. I run "L" grade Canon EF lenses on my Sony A7 with no loss of quality that I can see. I have even run it with Pentax lenses from the seventies. You just need the right adapter , and those are becoming cheap and very good.
That's great to know! I only used adapters back in 2018 and they were terrible. Good to know they're improving to an extend where there is not loss of IQ!
@@MadsPeterIversen look at 7artisans adapter for Canon EF to Sony e mount. And of course for all manual lenses you don’t need an electronic connection at all. And focus assist will still work
Nice video of beautiful Greenland! A little word of warning regarding creating HDR panoramas/focus stacking. I've found that, at least when shooting handheld, any small movement between the frames can leave you with weird artifacts when using auto HDR and/or auto-align/blend in photoshop/camera raw. Always check the masks after using auto-blend in photoshop! Sometimes I find Photoshop using unsharp portions of a frame as if it was sharp, when another frame is actually sharper. Not easy to spot at first glance but suuuper annoying finding that out when you're done processing. Also scan the blended result for weird, unsharp, areas that doesn't fit with your expectations. Sometimes you're better off doing the blending manually.
Mads, have you crashed a drone yet, and if so was it a total loss such as into the drink? Were others also flying and did you have problems of getting clean shots without other drones bombing your compositions? Terrific work in this video!
@@rphandler long time ago in 2016 I had Phantom 3 standard that just dropped out of the sky - total loss. In 2019 I ran out of battery with my first Mavic 2 pro and it force landed on a mountain top, but besides those instances I still have all my drones. It's never been an issue having other peoples drones in my photos. If they're visible I just clone them out.
Mads , What can I say simply superb! Perhaps your best video yet !!! Maybe that’s because I was just there and your conditions were so different but your captures despite what was harsh sun are without a doubt truly AMAZING 🤯!!! Well done my friend !!!
Lots of great tips in there - thanks! :) I thought turning off image stabilisation while using a tripod was a thing of the past, at least for new cameras. I've done back-to-back testing on both my modern Sony bodies and notice zero difference in completely still conditions and if there is any sort of breeze, having stabilisation on improved sharpness markedly.
Mads, please publish a book with all these stunning photos of Greenland. Way to many absolutely breathtaking photos to hide in your memory bank. Thanks for the great video's your share with us. Blessings from South Africa.
What an overwhelming beauty, these 'land'scapes, Mads! My favourite photo is that of the pink and green icebergs at 22:15. This video itself is a fine instance of your storytelling with the most fantastic colors, forms and moods. Pure and exciting! Bert.
Absolutely gorgeous, as always.... hmm, I might not be the first who wrote this still it's true, you can't deny that! Thank you Mads for the joy, fascination and inspiration. You are representing the peak of what artful and technical mastery of landscape photography can deliver nowadays in such an amazing likeable way like almost nobody else. Thank you so much!
Absolutely stunning images! How you describe your photography process while creating your images is truly special and very appreciated. Your aurora image including the milky way with your silhouette near the end of the video (23:43) is my favorite!
Hello Mads! Thank you for another inspirational video! When focus stacking, is it important to set WB to something else but auto, because some photos might be way too different?
These photos are incredible - but the best on in my opinion is you in front of Aurora and Milky Way and the reflection in the pond. this would bei great photo for the wall! I am so impressed, although I follow you already several years.
Hi Mads. I’m curious if you use lens filters when taking photos, such as CPL or ND filters, and how strong they are. You don’t mention them at all in your videos. If you do use filters, I would appreciate it if you could make a video on this topic as well. Thank you. Wonderful video. Have a great day.
@@miroslavfiala7087 I do mention them from time to time and I do have a link for them I the description of my videos. I use the magnetic collection of solid ND filters from Freewell :)
Mads, I don’t know how you consistently produce such brilliant videos. The content and quality is always superb. You must work incredibly hard to plan and produce such wonderful photography and experiences for the viewer. I always look forward to seeing the next episode each week as I know it’s always going to be full of great adventures, great images and incre 2:49 dible editing. Thank you for the work you do, it’s amazing…
@@kcross43 different thumbnails perform differently. Some are better with click-through-rate others not. It's a statistics thing. The better CTR and retention rate a video has the better it performs. The sad truth is users on RU-vid are extremely selective and they judge a video by its thumbnail and title.
Brilliant images and video Mads. I'll certainly add a trip like this to my bucket list and make sure you are there because the best conditions always follow you 😆
Generally for the IBIS it's less of an issue, but it can mis-interpret whether the camera is moving or not and compensate for nothing, so you can end up with a blurred photo when shooting on a tripod. I have also experienced it to wobble, but that was only on my older a7R3.
Deselecting it in the lens removes the micro jittering from the moving parts. Generally for the IBIS it's less of an issue, but it can mis-interpret whether the camera is moving or not and compensate for nothing, so you can end up with a blurred photo when shooting on a tripod.
