I FINALLY got this magical photo!

Persistence is key in landscape photography! For years I've wanted to get a photo of a clean reflection of noctilucent clouds in a lake or fjord with a boat. In this video, I finally found a location that worked out for it and I captured one of my favourite photos of the year!

Today I heard the word 'noctilucent' for the first time in my 5+ decades. 😅 And this is just one of many reasons I am a happy subscriber to Mads' channel.

[maccaphoto]

Mads love the first image you shown of the clouds and the road with the trees arching over the road… and love the boat images too 😃👍🏻

[DanaPushie]

Mads, there is no substitute for knowing what you're doing. Congratulations, great video, photos, B-roll and composition explanation. So incredibly well done. Thank you for sharing. Cheers.🙏

[scotty]

for aspiring photographers, this is a great example of what dedication to your craft can deliver. What a wonderful episode Mads, the timelapse and the images, particularly those towards the end of the video were stunning and what a glorious night for you

[TimvanderLeeuw]

The images with the boats on the lake and the orange glow on the horizon are beautiful!
Some of the best photos of noctilucent clouds that I've seen.

[niksiotv]

Absolutely delightful photos 😃 But to be honest I still prefer the photo taken a few years back for several reasons. The orange on the left middle side is gorgeous and the diagonal shape of noctilucent clouds is really sparse (at least I haven't seen something like this yet).
Thank you a lot for your video 😊

[mandycleezehappyhour]

I would KILL to take such beautiful photos... and the timelapse with that one boat dreaming of big sea adventures... and the music you selected was perfect as well. I think I've only ever seen artificial noctilucent clouds (from rocket launches).

[timrosenburgh]

Another great video Mads.
The evening shots that you took with the boats were absolutely awesome.
Catch you on the next one.

Mads, the line up of the boats with the noctilucent clouds …👨‍🍳😘! There’s nothing like being out at night with a scene like that all to yourself …thanks for sharing! Best Art ….

[BjørnSetseng]

I really like your videos. This was a very good one. I like your stories, how you teach and get ideas. Kvalitet!! Tusen takk, Mads!

[nagut]

Wow, really stunning!!😍 You are so inspiring👏

[hot_pixel_imagery]

Mads these images are just gnarly! What an epic shoot. I really have NEVER seen noctilucent clouds and I have been an Astrophotographer for years. Yes, my home location isn't great for the probability of seeing them.... You lucky duck. Well, you are a talented lucky duck as well. Great Images.

[thteevel]

Wow the colors ! i clicked like button as soon as i saw the video preview

[klaasjanvos]

My Heart skipped a beat when I saw the first photo with the boat. What a Treat!

[WimHendrikx]

I wish there were lakes like this in my area for this kind of beautiful photography. There is a lot of production forest in my area. Beautiful images.

[MurphyGreg]

Stunning images. The boats and noctilucent clouds are beyond words…kind of when we see magical pictures of outer space and earth. They, and your photos, capture the raw beauty and scale of this world and universe. Timeless ❤

[peterzpictstube]

I find clouds make for most break out landscapes. Great catch!

[ieuanwilliam]

Amazing work Mads. A big fan of your work ! Regards from Brazil !

[darrenwassell]

Great video Mads and I think the vey last photo is absolutely spectacular!

[butchferris]

I appreciate your videos so much. Thank you for your efforts that really make the difference!
