    Step 0 - Go to an ABSOLUTELY EPIC Place.
  • @BigFlexy007
    For those wondering.. Epic Counter: 34 spoken and I believe twice it was printed. Now that, Mads.. was EPIC! Well done
  • @gladysperrier4270
    Never mind epic photographs. What about epic photographers. Mads listening to you is like poetry.
  • @garys639
    Can only look on longingly from here on the East Coast of Australia, our land is so old that the epic sites have all been ground down. Planes trains and automobiles may have been invented, what hasn't been is the money tree that would shower me in filthy lucre to enable trips to be taken to those wonderful sites you share.. Doesn't stop me watching your posts, saving up my pension money to buy your composition e-books, well worth every dollar by the way, and having pleasant dreams of visiting the sites you show and being young and fit enough to put myself in the shots. Maybe in my next life. 😄
  • @terrygordon1045
    Great straightforward explanations about the photographic skills involved in landscape photography. Well worth the time to listen to and make notes.
  • @pleatedskirt18
    You can have THE best lens, body, tripod, filters and everything else, but if you don't have the light, you won't get a good pic. Light alone doesn't make the photograph, but without it no one can - with it, and with the right ability, you can. Excellent video.
  • @SethPay
    Printing your own work is really the greatest reward. I finally got some metal prints of my favorites from NZ and now they’re mounted throughout our apartment. Makes me very happy every time I see them and really puts things in perspective. Seeing the physical location you shot turned back into a physical representation that went through all those digital, intangible steps is a special thing. It really motivates and allows a fresh perspective on one’s own photography. Great vid Mads!
  • @MikeCheong
    Thank you for sharing your steps in creating epic landscape photographs. Also, I love the idea of printing out photographs into photobooks. I have been making them annually for the past 10 years. They are my archive of all the adventure and travel throughout the years, and also a record of my progress in photography. They are also an important reminder of how much I've done in the past. Once again, thank you for your kind sharing on how everyone can improve their landscape photography.
  • @moosesrefuge7210
    This was the EXACT video I was looking for today. Thank you Mads, I always find your shots to be so inspiring. They match the kind of tone and feelings I want to be able to shoot some day. I appreciate you posting this content my friend.
  • @ayushkishan
    Sometimes YouTube recommends really marvelous channels Glad i found you
  • @michelbigras
    You've been at so many great locations and come back with so many beautiful photos. Thank you for sharing it with us. Wow!
  • @Petecycles
    Hey Mads, another great video with plenty of great insights and images. The message about getting out there in the wild weather days to find something special really struck a chord.
  • @billkipper3264
    Great video Mads. No matter how long anyone has been shooting, videos like this one are educational and great reminders of good skills to employ. I really think dramatically emphasizing depth is a good thing and is about the only time I enjoy anything being puked out into my face. Thanks.
  • @Xo1ot1
    I'm always apprehensive of sensationalist titles, but I learned a lot from this video. Also, making a calendar or book with photos from each year as a memory and recap is really satisfying (+ it's a good gift).
  • @brianbeattyphotography
    Great tips! Especially the tip on weather. Seek out those bad weather / not clear sky days! Stunning video work through the mountains at 2:20. Truly spectacular. Learning how to use lens distortion and compression to your advantage, paired with good conditions, is a prime recipe for great images. Appreciate the editing insights too.
  • @valeriehoffman8180
    This was such an amazing video. The images absolutely were EPIC. I want to rewatch it at half speed so I can just savor the scenery more. Mads, your energy and enthusiasm are contagious, and your teaching-inspirational. Thank you for all the work you put into this channel.
  • @michaelstewart6857
    Wow - so many excellent suggestions and considerations to keep in mind - all crammed into a single video. Many thanks, Mads!!
  • @paulwarrilow1019
    Fab video, Mads! Great content, super advice and stunning images. And that book is just gorgeous! Thanks for sharing this and for all the hard work that goes into it! 😍👏
