In this video, I go and explore the danish landscapes for some winter photography and I bring out my Tamron 28-200 lens. I just can't seem to let go of it even though I have bought the Tamron 50-400mm zoom lens. I share my thoughts on the 28-200 and why I keep using it along with taking some landscape and forest photos.

    #4 stands out as my favorite. So peaceful, I can almost see myself in the scene.
  • @altrujillo3566
    Hello Mads! Of the four forest scenes, all are beautiful but I think #4 is far and away the best of the group. Love it!
  • @DancesWithFlies
    Image #4 checks all the boxes for me, Mads. I really enjoy you videos and the insights you provide when it comes to landscape photography. Thanks….. and keep them coming!
  • @1960ceramic
    Number 4 for me as it has that nice contrast between the trees and the snow! The lighting is softer as well, which provides a more calm mood.
  • @KathleenSellsIdaho
    The Danish landscape is spectacular. I really am in love with #4. What an incredible shot that takes my breath away.
  • @juniore159
    I bought this 28-200 lens a couple years ago. Solely based on your advice in an earlier video about the lens. I couldn`t be happier. Even with 28mm shots, and f.ex Topas sharpening, it`s as tack sharp as I ever need :) Thank`s Mads!
  • @randyschwager2515
    More great photos and info! I like photo #1. Thanks for taking me along!
  • @rosssayer6524
    Just love that lone tree image with the tractor tyre leading the viewer to the tree. Amazing, thanks for sharing Mads.
  • @spidersj12
    I like the lone tree with the tractor tracks in the snow at 2:28. I also liked how there are sets of angular lines in the composition at 4:54.
  • @stuartbrill8709
    Always interesting and informative, thanks for the great channel Mads. 👍
  • @paulseymour7485
    My favorite shot is actually the one with the horses. Then the lone tree with the tractor tracks in the snow at about 2:28. Next would be the tree with the hoarfrost. Super video. Thank you so much.
  • @georgemason2472
    I think I like your second shot with the additional snow at 13:30 It just looks so fresh.
  • @brianmellott3193
    Mads, Your videos and photos convinced me to pickup this 28-200. It’s amazingly versatile and works great for landscape photos. I still take my primes and teles, but there is only minor downsides with the Tamron. Thank you. I wouldn’t have considered this had it not been for your videos. My back thanks you too on my multi day backcountry trips.

    Carrying one or two lenses has changed the way I shoot. I used to carry a bunch of lenses (not too many, but maybe 5-6) and that was too much. In some cases, it almost paralyzes you as to which lens to you since you have so many options, but with fewer lenses (say a wide angle zoom and a travel zoom) those are you two options and give totally different looks, so you're more focused on getting/making compositions than you are on gear). This is NOT to say I don't necessarily bring the other lenses, but I don't always (usually) carry them with me (I mainly bring them as backups, like my 24-70 2.8, but I prefer to shoot with my 24-120 f/4 lens since it's lighter and covers more range - and since I'm mostly shooting landscapes, so f/5.6 or smaller apertures, in most cases, this lens works great for that and really covers almost the same range as a 24-70 and a 70-200 or 70-180, a bit short though but I haven't found too many instances where I missed stuff beyond 120mm.)
