LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY IN DENMARK - Behind the scenes | Last chance for photographing the autumn

I find landscape photography quite challenging, but if I want to get some photos of the beautiful autumn colours in the Danish forest this year, it is probably my last chance.
I am in the local forest and since my Tamron 150-600mm is getting repaired, I am bringing my Nikon 70-300mm which turned out to be an excellent choice.
So yeah, join me behind the scenes on some landscape photography on this wonderful day in the forest of Denmark.

Such a beautiful location and you have told the story of it so well with the images you captured. Fantastic.

[@MortenHilmer]

Thanks a ton Adam. Yeah I love this forest. When you come over to visit, I think, beside bird photography from my blind, we should go to that forest.

[@Firstmanphotography]

@@MortenHilmer That sounds great. Maybe we'll be lucky enough to get a little snow too.

[@MortenHilmer]

That would be absolutely awesome

[@josephmerrill8347]

Is there any youtuber that shows so much enthusiasm to his craft? and how can you make getting yourself a surprise of bread so interesting? Brilliant 32 mins...bravo.

[@mausam3836]

Its so peaceful to watch your videos before sleep. That gives me good vibes to wake up for next morning not only to spend the day but making the day great. Thank you Morten 💕

[@MortenHilmer]

Thank you so much for such an awesome compliment. I really appreciate. Being in the woods is just so fantastic.

So soothing to watch! The forest during fall is just amazing. Thank you for these videos.

I don’t know why I have a feeling while watching your uploads that you are a good soul ... good going man

[@TheCaptainWalter]

The cinematography here is brilliant Morten. You have a wonderful ability to make the viewer feel like they are being shown something special for just them.

[@MortenHilmer]

It is so encouraging to get such a compliment. Especially because this filmmaking thing is quite new to me, so I get so happy for such positive comments. Thank you so much for telling me.

[@starsearchreject]

Yes! Exactly. He really has a way of drawing you in.

[@TheCaptainWalter]

@@MortenHilmer Hi Morten - have you had any feedback from Tamron on the failure of your 150-600 G2 autofocus motor? I'm seriously considering purchasing this lens however would be curious to hear if / how your own issues have been addressed. Cheers.

[@MortenHilmer]

@@TheCaptainWalter No not yet. I know it has been repaired but I havent got it back yet and no explanation.

[@michaellyons5208]

Again, I swear if you made a video of paint drying or grass growing I for one would watch it (even the second time around;) ) In all seriousness the mood of those foggy woods is wonderful. Nothing is better than a foggy autumn hike in the woods, except perhaps when followed by a nice campfire. And the fog makes those woods timeless...like getting lost in history. You have indeed quite the spot there.

[@MortenHilmer]

Haha - paint drying 😂😀 You are absolutely right about these woods. There is definitely something timeless over them. Just walking in the mist letting the thoughts travel.. It is so simple but yet so fantastic

[@moonstriker7350]

This might be one of the most beautiful things in life someone can do, just walking 'endlessly' in nature looking for those instances of beauty and aesthetic like a kid looking for hidden treasures everwhere. It can be anything from a wide sweeping landscape to a tiny detail.

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

Those beach trees looked odd to me. The American beach holds it's copper leaves all winter. I saw a great shot in the early part of the video when you snuck around that tree and the trail opened up. That seemed a beautiful scene to me. Thanks for bringing us along!

I like the coffeetime 😀. Thumbs up.

[@S.R_Productions]

I absolutely love Lego and nerf, I have spent almost every dime I have on Lego and nerf ever since I was 6. But when I found this channel I was like "why the heck am I spending all this money on plastic?!?" So I took the money I had and bought a used camera. The camera I have is old and not very good but I have gotten some photos that turned out well. I took it one step further. I sold all but 3 of my Lego sets, all my nerf guns and even my camera, tomorrow I am going to the camera store to buy my first brand new semi pro camera

[@orenrosenman5242]

How did it go?

[@NealeGray]

Hi Morten, I watch all of your vlogs, and enjoy them, thank you. I notice you have a Canon 1Ds/1Dx, I couldn't afford one of those, but did buy a secondhand 1D Mk III, crop sensor but EF mount. Would that be any good for wildlife photography? I do have a Sigma 150-500 lens. But have hardly used it as I don't drive and can't get to the many places in the Scottish highlands where I now live. Do I sell it because I don't use it, or get my head around my travel restrictions and try to use it? Also, can I ask you one question please. When you're doing your pieces to video, and I understand 100% why you have to whisper, but is there any chance you could boost your audio so I can hear what you're sayin, or subtitle it? I turn up the volume to try and hear you, and then upset the neighbours with the very relatively loud music in your videos.. I look forward to your reply.

[@MortenHilmer]

That is a great kit and I definitely think you should get out and use it. Scotland is so amazing - you basically have one of the world's most wonderful location right outside your door:) Try and see if there are any great spots near by. Sorry for the sound. I know it can be low sometimes.

[@davebeaverjr8762]

I get so excited on new Morten videos! I’ve already watched this way too many times, if that’s even possible! 🙌🏻🤙🏻

[@Dreyno]

I’ve sometimes gone out and came home without taking a single photo. I also started carrying my other camera (Fuji X100s) around in it’s small shoulder bag. Sometimes I see something “nice” but don’t deem it worth taking off the rucksack, setting up the tripod, getting the camera out, fiddling with filters etc. That way I can still take a decent raw image without the effort. I’ve often come home happier with the off the cuff shots from the Fuji than the proper photographs I took with my Nikon. Not a comment on the relative quality of the cameras, just that you never know what will look good on your monitor that night.

[@MortenHilmer]

I know exactly what you are talking about. Some of my best landscape photos are on my phone because it is right there in my pocket when travelling.

Excellent work, videos, photography!!! what type of tripod is that? Thanks Adam

[@udoborowski1063]

Hello Morten, I do not want to take the hope away, but with the problem of unresponsive autofocus, my Tamron 150-600 was in service three times. I also bought the Sigma and use the Tamron only as a backup. A pity, because the Tamron delivers visually great results. Udo

[@alexslomin]

Hey Morten, I am going to Africa, specifically Botswana for safari and I am looking to invest in a new lens. I currently have the Nikon 200-500 f5.6, but I am looking at a used 200-400 f4 VR2. What are your opinions on that lens? Thanks.

[@KreekyKat5983]

Thank you for making murky weather beautiful, we all need that in November. So inspiring and immensely enjoyable to watch.

[@gmutt26]

Would you consider a 70-300 on a canon 1dmkiii a good starting point for wildlife? It’s all I can afford and the longest zoom I believe it works out effective length 295mm with the crop of the 1dmkiii but that’s with 10fps and a good auto focus system.

[@TITAOSTEIN]

What camera and lens did you use in this video to video yourself? I think you mentioned in another video that you were using a Lumix camera. The lens you use for all your video of yourself does a good job , not too close or too wide. I would appreciate know which lens you use. Thanks and I enjoy all your work as an aspiring wildlife and landscape creator.

[@mikekelly9921]

Nice video. Well presented, with emphasis on both the photographic process and the whole atmosphere of walking in a woodland during autumn, trying to find something worth photographing. Not just firing off hundreds of images without much thought going into composition and technique. My only criticism is that the intro is a bit long. I was wondering if or when Morten would actually say anything. I live in DK, Morten. Where was the forest you were walking?

[@سيداحمدالصيوان-ر9ف]

What lens number do you use in your camera? I hope you answer my comment because I do not understand English. Write me the lens number please

Beautiful photos, Morten! I love foggy days, just being out and breathing that cool fresh air is so refreshing to the soul. I'd also like to experiment some time with a slow shutter, moving the camera for motion in the photo, it looks a bit tricky!

[@MortenHilmer]

Thanks a lot Liesl. Yes you should definitely do that. No it is not tricky you just have to play. First find the perfect exposure and see if you can make it at least 5 seconds by adjusting aperture and ISO (you can always add an ND-filfer). If it is faster than 5 seconds it is hard to controll the still vs movement. Then try first to leave the camera in place for 3-4 seconds and then move it the rest of the exposure time. An yeah then it is just to play 😀

[@LieslHuddleston]

Thank you for the tips! I’m excited to try this as soon as I can get back out. Recovering from surgery and have to be indoors for a couple weeks. You’re so kind to take the time to share your knowledge, I’ll let you know if I get it right 😄
