Sadly YouTube hasn't entirely succeeded in getting rid of bots and scammers! I will never ever contact you or ask you to contact me and I don't do give-aways. Any replies from me here on YouTube you can recognize by the grayed out name!

“Work the composition” is great advice for me. I’m usually so excited when I see something interesting that I don’t think enough beforehand. BTW I love using my tripod. It helps me slow down and enjoy the process of taking photos. Thanks for a great video Mads.

"If in doubt, zoom out." is the simplest and best piece of advice I have heard in a long time. Thanks for that!

First Photography mistake: not being in a most photographic scenery

Phreakazoidd

The missing item in the camera bag is something I can relate to. I tend to leave specific items in my bag all the time like filters, memory cards, intervalometer and cloths. My camera, lenses and batteries all sit on a shelf beside where I work so just a case of quickly deciding what lenses to take and then I'm good to go and normally leave one of my tripods in the car as well. The first mistake you discussed is interesting Mads as certainly from a landscape perspective I would agree with leaving space around the subject, although from an architecture perspective having a part of the image close to the edge is contended to create 'tension' and to emphasise the subject in some instances. Hope your enjoy your time in South America and you have your land legs back after your Drake's passage experience 🙂

As a photographer for over 30 years, I was expecting (hoping) to trash most of this video- but alas, it’s all excellent. Personally, I find landscape photography most enjoyed in the making: being there, slowing down, and having a oneness with things. My results to share are never where they should be compared to the masters, but I’ve been too busy making someone’s wedding or portrait photos better, not my personal work.
Aside from my attempt at personal redemption in this post, I do congratulate and admit superior knowledge, ability, and an honorable purpose in his task to Mr. Iverson. Thank you for your work, examples, and fearlessness to share.

Love your approach to editing 😊
I always smile when people comment my photos with "Wow, but you edited it!" When I explain that the "click" is just the beginning of the work, they have that puzzled look of incomprehension, and they go on shooting boring photos with their phones... 😅

Execellent video that showcases your teaching skills. I especially liked your caution about under-editing.

Great tips. Do you raise the exposure much for the Saal photobooks? I got my first done but didnt change them for the book and they were a little dark

Each of these points are excellent advice, indeed. Well stated without being over-the-top (thanks). I have to laugh when I see the comments from the SOOC snobs (much like the pixel-peepers), for if that's what makes theeem happy, that's fine. If I wanted to do that, I'd simply shoot .jpegs and pray for the best, of course (why have my .raw files if the "rules" say I will be shunned if I touch them? lol). I love editing, though I HAVE destroyed a lot of beautiful light over the years in Photoshop, I must admit (I've brought a few back from time to time to run through post-processing a decade or so later just to see how I envision things differently with new knowledge and skills) but, generally, I always use it to enhance. As for weather, blue skies are just as boring as slate-gray in many ways and getting out to roll the dice on weather-filled days is often what results in the most dramatic lighting and conditions, even if the "spotlights" through the clouds sometimes never highlight the subject of a particular image (I just have to laugh it off and roll the dice another day lol). Thanks for sharing this, for it is a parallel to things I see when I look back at my earliest images and the trends I experienced. :)

I'm not sure about the rz67, but the rb67 doesn't have an internal light meter.

I agree with Peter.
Unless there are special reasons for research or measurement, most photos taken for ornamental, advertising, or entertainment purposes are edited. Seeking aesthetics in unedited photos is a free choice for each individual. However, it is absolutely wrong to request unedited photos from others or to claim that unedited photos are more legitimate than others.

People who try to demonstrate the superiority and legitimacy of photography by not editing it are turning the means of taking photographs into an end. I feel that imposing such ideas on others should be condemned as a very selfish and arrogant act that deprives many people of the joy of taking photographs.
People who demand that photos not be edited are the Gestapo of the photography world.

I am Japanese. Meticulousness is one of the typical characteristics of Japanese people. I feel that there are many photographers in Japan who exhibit an abnormal obsession and belief in unedited photos and natural color tones, as this characteristic works in a negative direction. And I find this trend extremely distasteful.

Even in the film era, there were many editing, processing, and expression methods used after shooting. But why are there so many people who hate processing on PCs in the digital age? I feel that such people simply have not adapted to the times and technology. This is because the image displayed on the digital camera screen has already been processed by the camera. I feel that the claim that RAW is legitimate is just nonsense from people who want to complicate the discussion.

We humans can claim freedom as long as we do not infringe on the rights of others. And my photos are also freedom.

If the photographer likes the result, it is not a mistake.

With the photo shown at 1:15, I definitely prefer the more cropped-in version. It makes the trees seem taller and gives a feeling of them towering above the viewer. A more zoomed out version just feels like "pretty fog with birds".

Hey! I absolutely like most of your videos! And this is no exception. Love your tips and seeing you on spots I visited last year brings a smile on my face :).
However - there is one thing that completely annoys me in your videos - and thats the amount of advertising. I know, you make a living from your courses and stuff but damn, every few minutes there is (sometimes a long) ad for your sponsor or your courses. I know why this is a thing but seeing all the other phtotographers out there making great videos and making maybe only one block of ads is way more enjoyable to watch.

I wish I could spend more time of location when traveling. I think this highlights the idea of taking some trips specifically for photography, rather than for tourism, which nearly always imposes limits on how much time can be spent on location. (Also, I have to say I actually appreciated the ad/info about SAAL photo books - I actually needed that!)

Along with keeping your bag packed, keep your camera charged. I charge mine every time I come back from a shoot. There is nothing more disappointing or frustrating than missing a shot because your camera battery dies.
