Loved it Mads! I feel that I have learnt so much in the last 19 minutes. There's so much here to consider and digest but I am certain some of these tips will creep in and start influencing my photography.
Thank you very much Chris! I'm happy you feel you got something from it 😊👍
For me, nobody else can communicate/convey composition as brilliantly and ingeniously as you. Your Tutorials are extremely helpful! THANKS A LOT!
Thank you very much for such kind words! 😁
Hi Mads...so glad I found your posts..I'm an armature photographer for 17 years now. I haven't watched any videos on composition until yours. I mostly do youth sports, high school seniors etc. BUT my wife an I are going to Italy this year and I especially want to capture images in Tuscany. So thanks for sharing your knowledge so I can produce much better images than I would have.
Mads does an excellent job of describing "simple" rules with enough details that they go beyond the usual "do this" and explains WHY we should do this. Very helpful.
Maybe the most useful photography video I’ve watched on CZcams.
Meget enkelt fortalt, udtrykt og dermed nemmere at have med i sin hukommelse, når man står i en landskabssituation. Dejlig fortalt med forklaring, begrundelser og hvad du lægger vægt på. Dejligt at se dine flotte billeder. Tak
Thanks a lot. What makes it very easy to follow your explanations is, that you show examples.
Wonderful mini class on some of the major compositional aspects used landscape photography.
Thanks Mads! Great information! Very helpful!
Thanks for the tips, always a joy to listen to you.
Thanks mate - so helpful
Thank you for these tips Mads !!!
Brilliant work and very helpful guidance. Thank you Mads!
Thank you so much for keeping learning simple and to the point with visuals. God bless you.
thank you Mads - your videos are very inspiring !
The difference between an image with instant wow, like and move on and something more subtle that you could live with printed out is well demonstrated with the waterfall images. I love both but the simpler one is much nicer to spend time exploring.
Yes, I agree with that. It's one of my personal favorites :)
The best advice on composition I have seen on the internet. Thanks Mads.
Thank you very much, Steve! Have you seen my other composition videos?
Another great explanation of some basics for landscapes i am going to use to make mine better!
Loved this video Mads. The explanations were really helpful for me.
Again Mads, we expect gold and you deliver platinum. Love all that you do and I would go as far as saying you have influenced my landscape photography more than any other photographer
Thanks a lot! I'm so happy to hear that :)
I’ve really enjoyed & learnt from both your composition videos. Anyone who’s watched this & hasn’t seen the first one needs to watch it.
Thank you very much Tim, yeah I think the first one is very important too :)
One of the best composition tips i found on the youtube thank you mads
Love the last pic and the lighthouse with ocean horizon. Amazing!
Thank you very much Dylan :)
Great advice Mads and was great seeing you images from previous videos as it is a great reminder as to how great a photographer you are and how you arrive at your compositions
Thanks a lot. Yeah I don't mind showing my thoughts :)
Mads you have a wonderful way of explaining the complexities of composition. It makes it easier to understand what to look for when capturing a photo. Thank you for your wonderful content. Keep it coming!
Thanks a lot Kathy! I'm very happy you like my explanations! :)
Thanks! I love your explanations - clear, concise, and still deep.
Thank you very much, Theresa :)
Keep it simple. Mayby the most important tip.
What a great video, definitely picked up some excellent tips. Thanks for sharing Mads.
The best decision I’ve made this morning was watching this video. Most informative and highly appreciated. You’ve earned yourself a new follower and friend Mads. Looking forward to more of your inspiring Instagram landscapes. ❤️
You are very welcome and welcome aboard! I have new "tips" video coming tomorrow :)
Thank you for not only showing, but also for explaining the logic behind your photos.
You are very welcome Miguel! :)
Great great tips. It gives weight and reasons that explains why some of my photos are great but I cannot explain why I think they are.
Mads great video. You have the ability to present and photograph complex scenes and make them not only beautiful but your explanations allow us to learn how to creat them.
Thank you, Richard. Happy to hear that :)
Great video Mads! I love how you describe your work. Its not about the gear but about the art of photography. Cheers!
Thanks a lot! Yeah, it took a bit of time to figure it out ;)
Thank you. Your videos are very helpful and I enjoy your photos. I spent 18 days travelling around Iceland last year and it's nice to see some of the familiar places and the beautiful photographs.
You're very welcome! :)
I am learning so much. Thank you for making such informative videos
Thank you so much for sharing your deep knowledge of photography. Once again, a nicely produced video.
Very clear and interesting tips which have certainly made me think.
Very good Mads, keep 'em coming!
Thanks, I will for sure :)
Great advice as always Mads, and superb images of yours to demonstrate them. You have a very clear and concise way of explaining things which is very much appreciated.
Thank you very much David! I'm happy to hear that as I think my tips here were a bit more "vague" than the last video ;)
thanx so much... just found your vids.. am binge watching them... learning so much :)
You're very welcome and happy you like them! :)
Mads, I love you work, and your passion, both are inspiring. I have loved photography for a long time, on and off again. In the last few years, I have been trying to take my photos to the next level and then the next. I found you online when I switched my main camera from Canon to Sony A7R in the last few weeks. I watched a few of your videos on youtube and just recently bought your Landscape Composition 1 & 2. Now I am running through all your videos and reading your books. I really love your perspective and you have given me many other tools and information in these videos and your books. I can't wait to travel again, but in the meantime, working locally to hone my skill and try to come out of Covide with something tangible. I can already see the difference when I go out to shoot and work on the photos later. Thank you!
Really learned from this and appreciate you sharing your wonderful work and knowledge. Thank you!
Love your well presented tips, it’s nice seeing your thought process on what makes a great composition.
Thank you Nina, I'm very happy to hear that :)
More great information! Thank you very much. I hope to take better photos this summer when I visit Iceland, the Faroes and Lofoten with a urban side trip to Copenhagen.
This one of the very best videos I have seen on You Tube.. You provide great insight into composition which I appreciate. I just subscribed and am now a fan. Thanks for sharing.
Roger Salz thanks a lot Roger! Have you seen my first video on composition? It's also very good :)
Another great video, you explained some very useful ideas very well
Hi Mads,, I know it’s been a while since you made this video… and your craft has probably evolved since, however I’ve only recently discovered a passion for photography and so came across your channel by chance only a couple of weeks ago… your videos so far (that I have watched) have been inspiring, thought provoking and educational, so thank you. I really appreciate that there is so much to learn and I’m absolutely enjoying doing so.
I am so happy to hear that, Shawn! Thank you 😊
Love your images,
Thanks Mads, very helpful.
Thanks a lot, John! :)
This is excellent, very well explained, with compelling examples to illustrate the concepts. You have a great talent, thank you for sharing!
I look forward to putting these tips into practice in the Lake District this weekend ! Thank you !!
You are very welcome Matt :)
Great work Mads, I really loved that image of the photographers lined up against the peaks and trees in the mist. There was almost an equal amount of protrusions through the mist as there were photographers which gives the image a nice balance as well, well done mate.
Thank you very much, Darren! Yeah I think it was the best image I got that morning :)
Excellent video Mads. So much makes more sense now, especially ditching the rule of third, even more so after watching the 10 myths video, now that was truely amazing. Sometimes you just have to compose to what pleases your eye, and all your subjects in this video add to that composition. If you ever have the time or inclination to do another tips video, it will be a must watch for everybody. AWESOME WORK!!!📷👍📷👍🏞
Thank you very much, Tim. I'm happy you enjoyed it and I'll probably do another one in the future :)
Wonderful explanation! Thanks. I will rewatch the section on "breaking the horizon line" to help me remember that consideration. I am always aware of "where" it is, but need to think more often about the tension created at that intersection of various elements with the horizon line. Loved your examples which help to cement the concept in the mind visually!
Thanks a lot, Deborah! I'm happy you learned something new :)
brilliant mads thanks for teaching us your views and ideas, those small silly things that make a huge difference in which i now look at things in a completely different context
You are very welcome Jim! :)
I always look forward to a Mads Peter Iversen video and this one didn't disappoint. Cheers. :)
Thanks, very happy to hear that! :)
This was great, I love the Rule of thirds with the photographers and the mountains... it just tells a true story. Keep it up Mads
Thank you very much, John! :)
Gentle reminders with big pay-off. Thanks
Thank you very much, Brad :)
Very useful tips brother 👌🏽❤️ thanks for sharing.. particularly appreciate the "break the horizon".. 🙏🏽
cheers Mads - great stuff. off to Chile / Bolivia next month so perfectly timed. I've learnt loads in the last 12 months through your posts and those of others. Can't wait to have some 'me time' to try to apply all the information...
I'm very happy to hear that! Good luck on your trip :)
very helpful thank you
Your tips are very helpful Mads, thank you much! :)
You're much welcome! :)
Thank you Mads 😄
You are very welcome, Rexx! :)
I just found this video, boy was it interesting, I really liked every bit of comments you have put in it. Great work 😀
Thank you very much. Remember to watch the other then :)
Thanks for the tips, very informative ☺️ can’t wait for your next video.
You are very welcome :)
Another very helpful and interesting video, thank you Mads!
You are very welcome Stephen :)
Great video Mads. Some awesome tips and amazing photos. I remember when I first started with photography in the film days and I shot with just a 28mm and 50mm prime lens. Its seems more complex these days with all the bells and whistles on cameras and the myriad lens that are available. I love simplicity not just in images but also in the gear and regularly just take a single camera and lens; either a prime or standard zoom. In my opinion it leaves my mind uncluttered so I can focus on the landscape and nature and importantly the moment. Thank you for sharing. It is always a pleasure to watch your videos.
Thanks a lot John! Yeah I like to go simple too, but I'd be very hesitant to sacrifice versatility :)
Another great informative video, thank you Mads.
Thank you very much Barry!
Great tips in both video's Mads!!! Hopefully I can use some of them during my trip to Costa Rica, in 3 weeks time!!!
Excellent presentation and explanation.
Thank you very much, John :)
Very nice video, it really made me think about landscape composition in a new way, well done.
break the horizon - interesting! I will keep this in my mind when I am out in the field!!! Thanks Mads.
You're welcome Stephen. Obviously it has to make sense to break it ;)
Another great video packed with loads of helpful information. You should show both these videos in your workshops, very informative.
Thanks a lot Richard! Yeah that's a good idea :)
Great tips
A good educational video. I need to try something like this
Thank you very much, Paul :)
Great structured information and images.
Thanks a lot Michael! Much appreciated :)
Simple, clear and concise great Mads
Thanks a lot, Andrew! :)
Excellent video and tips. The before/after of the black church was striking - loved it!
Thank you very much LArry :)
There is much to learn here so thank you.
Thanks lot Brenda! :)
New subscriber here! Thanks for all the tips. I have been binge watching your videos this whole week 😀
So helpful Mads, and so hard to keep in mind 'in the moment'. Thanks,
Thanks a lot Tricia! :)
Superb! This (and your earlier tips video) is the best tutorial on composition I've seen. Very helpful.

Hi Again Mads, Another great video coupled with some more great tips, gives me lots of things to think about and remind myself of these guidelines, many thanks Ian
You are very welcome Ian. I hope you're able to implement them :)
Great tutorial, thank you. I prefer your simple compositions, over the complex ones in your comparisons.
So many people ‘Like’ on the over-saturated, over-HDR’d eye candy...those drive me nuts! 🙄
Your work is amazing Mads. Most so amazing is that you are keen to share that knowledge with the world. I just stumbled upon your channel and subbed right away. Thanks for sharing
You are very welcome and thanks a lot :) I hope you'll enjoy the rest of the content :)

I'd rather call them tools than rules ;)
Excellent tips and great photos! You are quite talented in both clicking and processing. Thanks for a great video! Now, time to go through your previous uploads to watch more (I only just discovered your channel).
