4 days Nature Photography and Wild Camping | the cameras, lenses and outdoor equipment in my bag

4 days wild camping and nature photography in Denmark together with my friend Simon. Behind the scenes about the photo gear and outdoor equipment I bring on these trips.
Location: Central Denmark.
Simon had an assignment to work on, and I decided to join him on this 4 day trip to the center and western part of Denmark. The weather was a bit unsteady so luckily we found some great shelters for the night. It was truly amazing just to relax in nature with a good friend, cooking food on the fire, swimming in the lake and just having a great time.
I am doing some landscape photography which is definitely not something I am very good at. I also tried some time lapse photography, but there are huge room for improvement.
I am more comfortable with close-up photography and I got some quite nice photos of a small spider.
I got my hands on the new Nikon Z MC 105mm macro lens and already now I can say that I love that lens. First of all it is a joy to get rid of the ftz adapter and second the autofocus and the vibration reduction is just awesome.
In the behind the scenes I am going through the equipment I usually bring on trips like this.

Best thing about the great outdoors is it never talks back to you

You always make us feel welcomed as companions. Thank you.

Good

[@authentiknature7184]

It's not just that you did these things, it's not just that you filmed your journey, it's that you did all of it so freaking well. This is so well shot and edited and your pics are phenomenal. Keep it up, man. The Universe likes it.

I'm jealous of your summer climate, it is hot and humid in Kansas. Love seeing your little dog, it makes me miss mine.

I’m really impressed by your energy and dedication

[@mehtabhassan3796]

I am working in another country far from home, but whenever I see your videos it gives me peace and calm. Thanks, @mortin Hilmer.

I was busy the whole week so I didn’t watch this. Now I m enjoying this cuz I finished all my work just so I can watch this with full concentration ❤️

[@shantanughosh4666]

Your videos are not only a treat to the eyes, but also a treat for the spirit...such calm and peace to watch your videos.. I am a big fan..

[@MikeyCreator]

God I love the sound of rain

[@Dreyno]

Come to Ireland. It hasn’t stopped for the last month. Sick of it. What I wouldn’t do to see the sun for a few weeks.

[@MikeyCreator]

@@Dreyno Oh for sure I love my sun too for its purposes like swimming but im at a point in my life now where I have no friends to chill with on a sunny day lol So rain for me is soothing, put some jazz on for blogging or just outside sitting down on the rocking chair and take pictures of nature. Wow I sounded old there lol Would love to go to Ireland though; def on my bucket list. What area do you recommend visiting?

[@Dreyno]

@@MikeyCreator West coast is best coast. Anywhere on the western seaboard. Donegal, Sligo, Mayo, Galway, Clare, Kerry and West Cork. The Wild Atlantic Way is a 2,500km route through all those places (and Limerick but Limerick is a bit sh1t). If the weather is nice (ha!) it can be spectacular.

[@MikeyCreator]

@@Dreyno Def will keep that in mind so I can vlog about it when im there. Thanks for the help David!

[@Saiarts_yt]

I like the denmark landscapes. I wish to go there to experience such beauty. However, mosquito will be an problem.

It's like going through a guided meditation, and then being brought back to earth at the end. I always feel better after watching your videos. ❤️

[@sasankajayasekara2051]

There is something special in your videos because I can feel it at the same time. Maybe because of the sound and colors or maybe the originality of the content.

Just beautiful, Morten... such beauty we have in our natural world. If only all could recognize this as an alternative to the chaos that seems ever present in our sometimes, crazy universe. Greetings from Alberta, Canada..

[@livisunshine3700]

This is better than a Discovery Channel's documentary, my mother and I are enjoying every detail and it feels like going camping with you. I just wish I was there with my mom and my doggie to enjoy all of the beauty of that wonderful place. Blessings!

Hallo Morthen Grüße aus dem sprachigen Raum , es ist großartig mit was für einer Leidenschaft und Hingabe Du uns immer wieder das schönste auf Erden auf den Bildschirm zauberst , .....es gibt Leute die garnicht die Möglichkeit haben ......in die Natur vorzudringen geschweige denn in Sie einzutauchen .

[@phillloyd47]

Great video Morten, you are so lucky to be able to spend your time in nature with your friend and dog (the star of the show!) and we are very lucky that you share your trips so beautifully with us, thank you.

[@hybryd83]

Hi Morten! Good to see you again! Just a quick tip for your Silky saw. If you'll use it with a lot of pine wood overtime a thick layer of resin will build up on the blade. I clean mine with a cold degreaser which works perfectly.

[@MortenHilmer]

Thank you so much for the great tip

[@basilreardon5783]

Morten as Im watching your insightful aspects of camping utilizing all aspects of nature thru your Danish wood craft simply wonderful . Especially watching your technical camera adjustments 👍

I’m so jealous with the cooler temperatures you’re enjoying 😉! Nah, great to see you and Simon enjoying the outdoors…and that delicious steak😃😋! Have a great week and catch you later on this channel! 🙏🏼👋🏼🤓

[@giuseppeaguero9368]

thanks Morten for your videos which are always excellent, and also for putting subtitles

[@manonavision1013]

Really liked your title track, great choice. Didn't like Rainer Maria Wilke in school 15 years ago, but afterwards, some maturing in between, and nowadays his poems are one of my favorites 😊 Great video, as always!

[@MortenHilmer]

Thank you so much. Ill let the musician know.
