Why These Are My Best 2021 Landscape Photos

As per tradition I look back on a fantastic year of photography and share my favorite photos from 2021. There are A LOT to choose from. I had originally found 47 photos, which I had to reduce down to 17 photos before I had to give up. Ones personal favorite photos may change over time so this is more a representation of how I see my own photography right now, rather than a conclusion that will last the rest of my life.

Mads…Insecurity? You are one photographer that NEVER should feel insecure about your photography. You are the go to person for all of us to learn from. You are the best in the business and no one should write negative comments about your work! Negativity and insecurity go hand in hand.

[carlgough]

Such a beautiful collection. Let the haters hate. hate means jealousy and nothing more. How you choose to edit your photos is your decision, and you're always open and honest with your techniques.

You are probably my favorite landscape photographer on YouTube. I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. Your photos are some of the very best on You Tube. Thanks for sharing and all the best in 2022.

Hi Mads, thanks so much for sharing all those beautiful photos. I always enjoy watching to your video posts, they show the simple beauty of creation and give great tips on how to improve our photography skills. I look forward to seeing what you'll have to share and I wish you continued succes and enjoyment in your life in the coming year. All the best to you

[mansa]

Great work, Mads! All the best for You and Sophie and always “good light “ ….

[grahamroberts]

Isn't inspiring to read a 14 yr old has learnt so much from you Mad, because he said what I was going to say as a 65 yr old. Really enjoyed your video's Mad keep up the good work and stay safe to you and your family for 2022.

[thorwillems]

I really got into landscape photography this year as a 14 year old. Thanks to you I have learned so much and improved my photography! I can't thank you enough and I will keep watching your videos to grow even more✌ Thanks, Mads!

[valeriospositi]

Thanks to your photos and your videos, this year has been a wonderful journey. From almost 3 years, your weekly videos are an unmissable appointment for me. The passion, the love, the professional skills you have, come out in every photo and video you make and your friendly approach is really something I appreciate a lot. Almost all the time I watch videos on YouTube I don't feel the person who talks as someone I "know". You, Mads, have become someone familiar, a friend for me, even if I don't personally know you. Thanks for this too. Happy new year to you, your girlfriend and your family!

[ulissesdaniel]

Well done, Mads! Such an amazing collection of images for this past year. I’m always impressed by your dedication to your craft and the talent you show with your photography. I’m looking forward to what you can do in 2022.

[philliptaylor]

[verlenelewis]

Great selection Mads as always and your enthusiasm is infectious!

[JaypeaFoto]

What a great year of photos and videos. Thanks for the vast work you do and sharing it.

[richardduckworth]

Another great set of photos. Thanks, Mads. Up until now I really didn't care much for forest scenes, but you have changed that. Now I absolutely love them, mainly due to your shots and video's.

[trevorpayne]

Loved this. Thanks for sharing your thoughts behind your favourite images. Agree, for some reason there is something special about getting a great shot close to home. Hope 2022 is just as productive for you.

[brandonmjohnsonphotography]

You deserve every bit of growth. Your channel will continue to grow because you do AMAZING work! I've learned a lot from your channel. I always enjoy watching your videos. I can't wait to see what you do with this channel next year. Don't change anything. It's amazing!

[kittyclerico]

What a wonderful year end review! Thanks so much for all the work you put into your videos. I have learned a lot, but mostly gain inspiration to get out and shoot!

[mickkev]

Love all your pictures! So beautiful! A lot of things to learn and digest for landscape photography.

[harrykitch]
