WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY when it's best - The Nikon Z6 in action

🎥 Behind the camera version: • WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY w... 🎥
For me this is wildlife photography when it is best!
This is probably one of the best days I have had for quite a while. During one single day I am photographing birds in the meadow, I am filming the mood in the forest during a thunderstorm and I get the most fantastic experience just before the sun is about to set. Once again I am grateful for the many unforgettable experience nature gives to me.
Thanks to my camouflage clothes and a great portion of luck I get really close to some of these animals and I get som great photos that I am looking forward to showing you in this behind the scenes video.
See you out there..
All the best

Your respect for the animals is so admirable. We should all treat nature with such respect. Thank you.

[@MortenHilmer]

You are so welcome. Thanks for your nice comment.

[@grc6631]

Your thoughts on using runament animals as food source for humans.

[@MortenHilmer]

🌿🎥 Behind the camera version of this video will come up in a few days 🎥🌿 Thanks a thousand times for all the great comments. Less than an hour and you guys have already wrote so many sweet and encouraging words already - you are truly amazing.

Nice work, it is really uplifting doing what you are passionate about..

Super bro ... Which camera u r using

[@ternelternel]

I'm just guessing, but is that the red-crowned crane? We used to have cranes in the Philippines but already locally extinct. :( Fantastic photos by the way!

[@MortenHilmer]

It is the Eurasian crane and it is extremely shy here. Thanks so much:)

[@kosmass]

Morten I'm here because you are the best, because your passion for photography is inexhaustible and so beautiful. I also love wildlife photography. I'm hoping when I'm doing well because of a serious traffic accident to be able to live a few pleasant moments in nature. Thank you very much for sharing all of this through your videos.

[@SimDriver100]

Get well soon my friend

[@MortenHilmer]

Thank you so much for your awesome compliment and I send you all my best thoughts and wishes. I really hope and believe that you will be able to get through this hard time. A lot of great experiences is waiting for you out there.

[@madebyPure]

Hope you are doing better man!

[@philvetra4348]

I sat and had a coffee and watched you do all the hard work, which was delightful. You where well rewarded. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@patricksmith2553]

Yeah, it's amazing to me what all went into photographing these Crane's! I have a hard time believing it, what it so easy and common in some area's is rare and difficult in other area's. For instance in Bosque Del Apache, these are a common bird and there are literally millions of them, which you can walk right up on in normal clothing and get some amazing images. Here, you have to resort to these types of techniques.

[@JohnFormstone]

Thank you Morten!! another mini masterpiece, thanks for taking us along. Wildlife photography on its own is very difficult but to vlog what you are doing at the same time, I don't know how you have the patience for it, but i'm glad you have. 👍

[@johnleftwich650]

Thank you Morten for your hard work and perseverance in order to show us the pure beauty of God's creation.

[@ralphjondollaga9345]

Well that was a 33min of peace. Great video once again!

[@wallyjones2826]

"It was worth every drop of rain." How refreshing to find someone else who goes into the forest ON PURPOSE during a thunderstorm! I thought I was the only one that crazy. :) And, after it all, you are humble enough to say "I am grateful for the experience". Morten, thank you so much for sharing this special adventure!

[@RussellCram]

I could sit and listen to that rain and thunder for hours, always loved the rain prefer it over bright sunny weather!

[@petracollins8623]

That was a fantastic day and a thunderstorm thrown in for goodmeasure. Lucky man. Beautiful photos.

What a fantastic video, it's wonderful to see how sensitive you are to nature around you, moving quietly through the landscape as it breathes around you is brilliant. Definitely a thoughtful and very calming experience following you as you watch the wildlife, love the sounds of nature you have captured too. 👍

[@DrawsACircle]

Thanks for sharing yet another fantastic video Morten - food for the mind and soul

[@HampshireHog63]

Doesn't it feel fantastic when you've been drenched with the rain, then nature rewards you with beautiful animals to watch? Those are the photographs that mean so much more. Awesome, as usual, Morten.

Passion of photography is amazing, I love u r photography sir. All the best and take care sir.

[@benjaminzerhusen4941]

Stalking Cranes is so much fun! They seem to have really good eyesight, especially when it comes to detecting silhouettes against the horizon. I've never come closer than 50 meters before they raised their heads (meaning they will fly away if you take one more step towards them). So it is really really really challenging. Love it! Great behavior on Mortens part, as usual and lovely pictures with the background all in green :)

[@scy001]

The dedication and passion of a wildlife photographer is a whole new level. I cant imagine sitting and waiting for hours to get the perfect shot. #Respect😎

Thank you so much Raymond. That is very very kind of you and I am so glad for your nice comment.

It's indeed a very special time: whenever I go out into the woods and meadows, I find roe-deer, cranes and hares (others have to be looked for harder). As if they knew the summer will not last forever and that they have to enjoy it!

[@wildlifesnapper1]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that chases shadows and has to satisfied with hazy shots through branches and twigs - patience is the name of the game - sometimes its better to just pick a spot and stay there hoping that something will find you rather than you finding it. Nice video Morten.

[@wildlifesnapper1]

I love your videos Morten, always a pleasure to watch, stay well and keep snapping :-)

[@nickhinnant6755]

I have been shooting manual focus wildlife photography as a hobbiest for about a year and a half now, first with a Sony a6000 + Canon FD 400mm 4.5, and now with a Panasonic G9 and the 400mm. I also carry a Panasonic GX8 with either an FD mount Tamron 90mm 2.5 for macro or the m43 Rokinon 12mm f2 for landscapes. The IBIS and focus peaking on the G9 is incredible, and after enough practice, you can get just about any shot you want, even in-flight bird photography. It is a lot cheaper to shoot old glass too, and much of it is sharper than you would think as well. Have fun with your new glass and I think trying to get a good in-flight shot using an old manual focus lens would be a nice challenge, though that 300mm on the Z series or the F3 would be a killer deer lens.

[@perjensen6396]

Thanks for a great video and beautiful photos, it is so inspired to hear your talking about you passion for wildlife photography and I hope I can learn something from you because I also love to be out in the nature.

[@emilpoulsennatur]

I can’t explain the feeling I get from your videos. I’m currently in Thailand and has been the past 2 weeks. I’m not gonna be home for a while and I miss my red deer, my fallow deer, my beautiful herons and I’m dying inside to get back home in the rain hahah. I didn’t think I would say that but I miss the rain so much and you DEFINITELY take me back home to good old Denmark when I watch your marvelously cut together video of an amazing day, in our beautiful nature of Denmark 🇩🇰 I miss Denmark haha and thank you so much Morten🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@MortenHilmer]

I know exactly what you mean. I always have the same feeling when I am traveling for a longer period of time. I like the adventures, but there is something deep inside of me that miss the familiar nature where I grew op and where I have so many unforgettable memories. Enjoy your trip and you can look forward to the rutting season for the reed deer in the forest here in Denmark. I can't wait to sit out there listening to this sound. It is like a call from the past.

[@emilpoulsennatur]

Morten Hilmer I knooooow!!! I haven’t heard the wolfs howl yet haha so I think my favorite sound in the world is male red deer calling. It’s so amazing. I’ve accidentally been quiet close to one and I could feel the rumble in my heart. I’m so blessed for the nature here in Denmark 🇩🇰 😱😍🙏🏼
