Another great inspiration and informative video! Thank you Mads!

[alvinmorris]

Mads I have both of your books and enjoy reading them .they are as you say minimal text and the images are amazing until I just recently retired I didn't have the time/ability to put very much of what I learned into real use because I wasn't able to get around well however after getting treatment for my disability I'm now able to start seeing if I truly have learned as much as I believe I have. 😊please ignore the hysterical laughter it's just me laughing at myself 😂

[randyschwager]

Thanks for the great advice! And thanks for taking me along!

[ashstubbings]

That image with the sunbeams is exquisite! I found it really helpful to think of the scene as a theatre stage and the subjects as the actors! What a wonderful idea!

[TheOGBen]

Wow, amazing advice. I like the way you used the theator stage example, it makes it make sense. Wonderful video :)

[huulongphotography]

I am also a landscape photographer and I often go into the forest. Your forest photos are beautiful.

[oDahaka]

Another great video. I used your lessons and teachings amongst other resources to take some awesome photos during my week long trip in Iceland!

I love Fall. The leaves here will change color by the end of the month. It's the best time of year to be outdoors and do photography locally, imo.

[tjsinva]

Good tips. Love the sun rays. Carry on. 👍🥂

[annaheya]

Autumn is the most sensational month ❤

Got the bundle, I get to support charity, you and Nigel while at the same time getting smarter. Whats not to Maye the check out process of the store you used, really spammy. But I got through :)

[Oakley]

Tip #1: Get amazing conditions. Just kidding, nice video Mads!

[markhampshirephotography]

I really want to increase my woodland photography, but just need to find locations with less beech trees (they are the most common treee in Germany, apparently).

Nice to see you and Nigel teaming up Mads and a very enjoyable video today with a lovely selection of imsges

Often felt I am watching an infomercial. Found it distracting and lost focus on what the video was about.

If there was a way to just buy the "charity bonus" content, I'd probably do that. Otherwise I have to buy hundreds of hours of content that I'm not going to have time to watch, or is not really relevant to me as a hobbyist. Also, claiming that your course retails for $159 is pretty deceptive when it isn't available anywhere else.
