Photographing wild bison - Poland | PART 1

[@alanmadej9706]

Poland is very beautiful country, definitely worth to see

[@kubakoszeluk7429]

Pozdrawiam z Polski !! wow od dawna Cię oglądam i cieszę się, że tu jesteś :) Greetings from Poland !! wow I've been watching you for a long time and I'm glad you're here :)

[@owl78]

Hey Morten, my name is Wiktor I am 16 years old I have been photographing nature since 2012 and I got my first camera at the age of 14. I am from Poland so I am really happy that you came to my homeland because you are a great inspiration for me I hope you liked both nature and people & cuisine Btw in Poland we call bison in America we call bison and in Poland we call it "żubr"

[@MDCCLXXVI1990]

Bison is the English word for it. Not only used in America.

[@owl78]

@@MDCCLXXVI1990 now I know it

[@jpdj2715]

Nice to see a young man go into nature to make photographs. And, yes, "bison" is an old European word. From Latin/French descent. The Europeans who went to America and saw a bovine looking like the one from Europe, gave it their old European name. In some Northern European languages/countries, the European bison is called wisent. You can easily see the relation between these two words.

[@lunatune3714]

In America we commonly refer to bison as buffalo and use both words interchangeably. I did not know Poland had Bison.

[@MortenHilmer]

Awesome to hear. I REALLY LOVE being in Poland and I'm already looking forward to coming back. I wish you all the best luck and awesome light 👍👍

[@4amwaj]

9:28 It certainly does look like Simon is ready haha!!!

[@lorenzhoreth5066]

I instinctively held my breath while you guys sneaked through the woods and tried to be as quiet as possible. That’s how thrilling your videos are for me. 😅 love your content mate, you’re by far my most favourite wildlife photographer and I try to learn as much as I can through you. 😊🙏🏼

[@MortenHilmer]

Thank you so much Lorenz👍👍👍

[@MikaelPersson]

Your videos are always so calming, perfect to sit back & relax in the evening with some tea & sandwhiches. Can't wait for more parts of this journey!

[@dk2428]

-first!- I've been waiting for this! I had a tough day today, now i can relax with some awesome footage of nature. Tnx so much for sharing!

[@JoeMaranophotography]

Damn I have at work at 530 am tomorrow and looks like I will be going to bed late after watching this beforehand 😂

[@dabj9546]

(*_holding up bazooka_*) We're taking the little 150-600...

[@seantomlinson3320]

Hahaha. Yes, it's a big lens but his baby is the enormous 600 f4! I enjoy how small my 150-600 G2 is compared to my 500 f4.

[@franciszekbera7784]

Hope you enjoyed your stay in Poland Morten! Great photos

[@rammizle]

Simply the only photographer I follow and watch. You are inspiring and the quality content that you put up is incredible. You kinda take us with you on the journey every single time. I'm an amateur photographer but watching your videos makes you feel that you can accomplish many things whether pro or for fun. Thank you for all the amazing work and keep shooting 🙏

[@cowboyyoga]

What an amazing video... just loved it... The buffalo is one of my favorite animals and had a small herd when living in Texas. Now living in Ukraine and didn't know there are buffaloes here! Such great news! Thanks for being such a great inspiration! I am about to buy my first large prime lens! )))

[@filipseweryn2555]

And again great video! Greetings from Katowice Poland 🇵🇱

[@Deepakgargsharma]

Sir ,You are Such a great inspiration ..😍🥰❣🖤❣❣Great video

[@Szymo94]

Beautiful photos, greeting from Poland ;)

[@rodcell5097]

I morten. Happy to se another video. Big respect from México.

[@BoAngles]

Lol, see, I remember Simon from you doing your Camera equipment video- and trying to finish before Simon walked in! But- then he made a cameo of course. 😉 LOVE Bison- we have great American Bison here in Kansas. Fantastic video, as always, though! You always get me with the music and photo combination at the end of your videos. If you ever make it out to the states, give me a PM, Kansas City BBQ and Beer on me! Then we can run around the Midwest- or even head to Yellowstone. 😉

[@matusiakw]

Love two backlit photos at the end. Białowieża is beautiful next time come and see Bieszczady (and photograph lynx).

[@MontanaDnK]

"Story Telling is Contagious" Morten thank you for sharing your photo's and video's. We all look forward to many episodes to come.

[@rafaln9231]

Amazing photos! I hope that you liked Poland ;)

[@sorgreb]

Love it Morten, thank you for showing me that I don't have to fly to get some nice photos... though sometimes it's faster to get to Africa than to drive to East part of Poland :D

[@Deepakgargsharma]

Hy sir..I am your big fan from india .Actually I ask you a question?? Sir i used Canon 700d (RebelT5i)camera since 2 years. I want to buy new Zoom lens So Tamron G2 150 -600mm lens or Sigma 600mm which one is good for him?

[@MortenHilmer]

Difficult to answer. I really like the Tamron g2. it works great for me

[@wilbuzllf5057]

This was excellent, reminds me of some of your first videos ever for some reason. Well done, beautiful photos and you and Simon make a great team!

[@AjayKumar-Photography]

So Beautiful video I am always waiting for your new video. Your videos are always so inspirational for me, thanks a lot for sharing it.

[@RichardBirchett]

Wow, looking forward to watching this later! Watched a bit but I shall enjoy settling down with a coffee and watch it properly:-) 😁👍

[@GROSZEK1999]

this is probably my favorite movie❤ welcome to Poland and have a nice stay and of course the best photos I wish👋👍👍😉

[@LeonaM-MyABCs]

The bison were amazing, they are powerful and calm at the same time and yes, it is really something how quiet such large animals can be. Here in northern Ontario the black bear and moose may have taken stealth lessons! I especially liked the photos of the birch, they stand like sentinels of the forest.

[@rayeaglenz]

Thank you, Morten, Thank you, Simon, a beautiful wilderness location, a great video, with some beautiful images, thank you :)

[@simoneardley]

Great video Morten, that forest looks vast!! Looking forward to pt.2. Keep up the good work👍📸

[@MortenHilmer]

Thanks a lot. I am looking forward to sharing part 2 with you.

[@marcinmotyka278]

Hello Morten. If you are interested in Polish bisons here are some actual news facebook.com/ZubryOnline (only polish)

[@MortenHilmer]

Thanks a lot for sharing

[@jerrymanzer5176]

Very nicely done, Thank you for letting us come along for your trip to Bialowieza forest,this is a very cool place.

[@channthachayatem3453]

I enjoy watching your VDO now in Siem Reap Cambodia. It’s truly beautiful nature and wildlife there with the scenery.

[@mspates5982]

Morten I love your videos!!! So relaxing, and enjoyable!!! You could be taking photos of rats and it would still be amazing!!! Lol fantastic shots of the biason, and awesome drone views!!! I can't wait to see your next adventure!!!!!!!

[@GunnarDresler]

15:35 you are still in the Arctic, Morten? This man loves his muskox :)

[@picapica42]

Finally got some time to watch this :) Seems you had an amazing trip with your friend Simon and what a beautiful place. Really love the pictures of the bison in the sunset. 😀 Now I can only think about the bison tiptoeing around in the forest 😂

[@jocan55]

Thanks again Morten for taking us along on your journey. Poland looks like a beautiful country. You make me feel like I am right along side of you with my camera in my hands. Thanks to Simon also! Looking forward to part 2....

[@windnwavescouk]

Exceptional images Morten 👍🏼

[@woid.watcher4754]

Great video! :)

[@riponhossain9081]

Wow....another one. Recently I have met with a person from your country and you are known to him😍😍😍.....!! It gives me so pleasure.....❤❤ He came here in Bangladesh for completing some of his projects.

[@goldenstardust]

Exactly what I needed today, thank you Morten & Simon! 💕👍🌿🌿

[@wildlifeofpakistanwithrashid]

I love the way you photograph nature ❤ but morten you forget to take coffee with simon 😀

[@F1OCU]

Great footage yet again Morten, you make me feel like I am there with you. Keep up the great footage and images, and may you and Simon have good light always.

[@tadasgruzinskas6790]

Cool! A few weeks ago I was in Panevėžys county of Lithuania. There are a very big population of living wild bisons which are from this site you are photographing. Also, I wanna say that I was here - in Belowiez, its a beautiful forest land in Poland :). ♥️

[@mbrzezik]

Welcome to Poland. How long are you staying here? Are you already came back home? I'm staying current in Białowieża

[@Erik-qw8cy]

Thank you so much, Your videos are so calming, especially after coming home after a long day of work.

[@ammarabuoch1509]

You're always creative. I wish you luck and success.

[@jgurskey]

Another great video. Love the fact that you really show and tell how difficult it is to be “silent” while walking in the forest.

[@PaulBeiser]

Fantastic, love these and some great unique images.. also loved "time to get some cold beer and coffee" - that is EXACTLY what I always look forward to as well. Stay safe in these challenging times.

[@oliverbates8846]

I must say that every video your uploading is getting better and better I’m so zoned in on all your videos and how there captured, STUNNING PHOTOS!!! Can’t wait for the summer for the lovely warm early walks to capture the beauty of nature.

[@MortenHilmer]

It is so nice to hear - I am definitely looking forward to the spring and summer too.

This is amazing sir.. I think it was so adventuring in Poland. Best of luck

[@juancarlosroman4545]

Very very wonderful

[@channthachayatem3453]

Allow me say Hello to Simon, your good friend as well. I am very pleased to see him photographing with you.

[@MortenHilmer]

I will - and thanks a lot for writing:)

[@JaviSantCruz]

Subtitles in spanish please!!!!!

[@janiszeh]

Hi Morten, great to see you visited Poland and Białowieża. I hope you enjoyed your stay. We are very proud here of our bisons (or "żubr" as we call them). 100 years ago, after World War I, they were at the brink of extinction, as there was only 50 of them left in the whole world, but polish project of rebuilding european bison population in Białowieża was very successful, and their number is more than 5000 currently (being redistributed back to other countries, too)

[@lukaszklopotek]

Greetings from Poland. I invite you to visit Wilanów in Warsaw, where you can shoot lemmings in their clay houses.

[@rmbt]

😆

[@TITAOSTEIN]

Excellent images, both photos and video. Congratulations for the great work. I love the Nikon Z6, which I consider the best FF option, as it is compact for a FF (Body), robust and extremely capable. In your case, under the circumstances seen in the video, I wonder if it would not have been interesting to have a small Olympus em1 (II or lll) paired with lenses like the Olympus 300 f4 or Leica 200 f2.8. It would be a huge gain in agility and lightness for specific situations in which the use of a tripod and heavy equipment interfere. But it is just a suggestion, based on my own experience. FF for low light and easier access environments and MFT for more difficult access situations, where agility and excellent stabilization make a difference. Greetings from the Black Forest!

[@9oldfingers349]

Morten If you get a moment Check out my 1st ever Video vlog Photographing wildlife, & what looks like a Big Cat attack, on a Roe deer shes still alive! here in the UK!!

[@JakeGriffithsPhotography]

Great Video yet again Morten, I loved every second of it!

[@NildoScoop]

The ones with the backlight and orange mood are awesome. 👌👌

[@MortenHilmer]

Thanks a lot for you compliment:)

[@petracollins8623]

Only just found this, those Birch trees are beautiful, an understatement really and the gorgeous music. What a lovely video. I want to go right back to the beginning.

[@HPeterJi]

Fantastic bison shots. The bison eating hay in front of the birches is just cool, and the first shot of the bison is really really good. Love that shot. Still I am surprised to see those drone footage because as spectacular and vital as they are in terms of storytelling, it is mind boggling to see that you can actually fly a drone there. Here in California, it's illegal to fly a drone in National Forests (Inyo NF, for instance) or National Parks (Yosemite NP and Kings Canyon and Sequoia NP) that manage most of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Anyway, this video seemed a bit rushed (or maybe I just wanted to watch more... LOL), but I am sure that you had a great time photographing the bisons, which are admittedly fantastic.

[@robertlavers1121]

Hi Morton, it’s an idiosyncracy of the English language that “bison”, like sheep, is both singular and plural, e.g. “a herd of bison”. No such word as “bisons” , no idea why but thought you would like to know.

[@4amwaj]

oh and first!!! haha!

[@passporttophotography563]

What a beautiful shoot this was. Since our quarantine, I have been photographing and cataloging all of the various bird species that visit our property. I have found it very relaxing. However, I was wondering how you handle masking your scent and do you use any bug repellent?

[@michielsmet9533]

Amazing like always Morten!

[@nas8929]

Hello from Canada, I enjoy watching your videos. I find you to be a very genuine passionate person. I see that in every video I watch. I like your pants on this bison video, what are those? Where can I buy a pair? Thanks

[@oddbjrnaustevikfoto]

What a beautiful video Morten, and from a country where I'm not so familiar with the nature. It was great to see the magnificent beasts in their native environment. Just what I needed to watch today, currently stuck at home. Take care, and stay healthy!

[@MortenHilmer]

Thanks a lot Oddbjørn and the same to you:)

[@teamgamer7965]

100/100 👍

[@janneostlund6051]

Are u sure it is Bison ? not Visent. Bison =US, Visent=EU and Muskox = Norway and Iseland. Ehhh?

[@gmutt26]

what is the music track playing please around 4mins in. its very nice and i would love to download it. also could you explain your layering system with clothing? I see a wool jumper Devold? normally but what jackets please?

[@julieholland9639]

Hi Morten, is your 150-600 a version 1 or 2? I did have the first version but was silly enough to sell it, now I miss it and want to replace so wondering how much better version 2 is or maybe just get a used version 1, love the videos

[@jwfundsd]

Amazing animals and, as always, spectacular photos. Congrats Morten and Simon!

[@s45510325]

Really enjoy your video. Listening the amazing sound from the nature and Staring at the beautiful wildlife should be the best thing in the world! thank you

[@Vacublaster1]

Another fantastic video Morten, in English there is no word 'Bisons' used as a plural for more than one. The word is plural and singular as the same word like 'Sheep', just need to use Bison.

[@arcee6c]

2 minutes 9 comments Morten 👏👏

[@jaymist]

13 march 2020 on this day I wrote my comment for memory it's a very sad day in life guys but when I saw this video I felt so good now thanks Morten for this awesome video

[@malgosiak123]

Hello Morten, I left you a message on your website. I attached a link. Hopefully you will be able to check that out while still in Poland.All the Best :)

[@arielalejandrogarma3672]

hello MORTEN really really good job I like so much congratulations

[@puls4308]

Welcome to Poland, Morten.

[@jacob_mb]

Hej Morten, bruger du dit MVH502AH til alt Wildlife? Eller mest til dyr på jorden? Og ikke i luften? Står nemlig og kigger efter et stativ og stativhoved som kan bruges med mit Sigma 150-600 :) Som altid tak for en super video, bliver mere og mere til kort film ;)

[@pascalbrandt3419]

If you want to be more silent, wear Mocassins. They are also lighter than boots and are more comfortable. Make sure they are made with Moose hide and lined with Rabbit fur.

[@JohnWick-sg1bb]

Beautiful shots of the bison, getting shots like that must make the whole day worthwhile.

[@Saiarts_yt]

I heard poland has a greater woodland area as well. I would like to visit Poland because of the Japanese like society.
