You are the only person on youtube that I don‘t get bored watching for more than an hour! Loved the insights and thoughts on the baiting part. But what I loved most was Björns snoring in the background 😂😂😂
I also love Morten's videos, but there are many channels out there which are not recommended to you by the algorithm. Newer channels are hard to pick up, which is a shame. There is good stuff flying under the radar.
Bjorn is a superstar, as far as I'm concerned he can do what he wants hahaha. He's not a youngster now so and he's nearly as famous as his dad ❤❤ Just love that dog!
These last few weeks have been difficult and depressing for me and I noticed you added a new video, I rushed to watch it because it’s always educational and entertaining and it also helps to forget everything else, even if its just for an hour and seven minutes. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and video taping a new episode. Cheers!
Dear Morten, thank you so much for sharing your expertise and experience with your community / your followers. It's so interesting, entertaining and amusing (snoring Björn, cutting Pizza with an axe, how to handle ordinary human needs in nature,...) to listen and watching. To make this videos is a lot of work. So enjoy your coffee, beer, pizza and private time at your cosy home. I'm looking forward to follow your coming adventures. ☕
Can’t believe Bjorn is 13.5 years old he looks amazing ❤ thank you Morten great video it’s amazing to see how much work goes into the photos and videos you make. Can’t think of a better way to end the day than with a beer and homemade pizza.
I'm watching you from Russia. I think your content is very high quality; in our country, many photographers take staged shots with almost tame animals and re-present it as wildlife. You have real wild nature in your video!
To be in nature makes me feel beeing part of it and "having the right size", feeling gratefull and full of peace.. Somebody said once to me: you only can protect what you know! So, I agree with you. Your videos can be a little piece making people more aware of the value of nature. Thank you Morten, especialy for the livestreams
I don't know what you feed little Bjorn, but he is amazingly spry and active for a little doggie his age. I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of this video, Morten. Usually 15 minutes is a stretch for me in most photography videos, but you and about three more regular posters always get my undivided attention. Thank you.
I have been watching a lot of your vids and all I can say is well done. Just a tip from someone that does a lot of aurora photos. I use a vacuum bag when I come in from the cold. Put the camera and lens into a vacuum bag and use a hand pump to suck out the air. Stop condensation getting to the camera when it comes into the warm.
Loved your video, and especially your little talk at the end. I agree completely with your view of baiting. And then if you could choose between fantastic photo trips with arranged scenes or your own back yard you would chose the latter. I don't really have the choice to go to fantastic places, but also not a big urge, I just love to explore what is happening close to home. A fox, an badger, a deer, a boar, all the birds, the toads and frogs. I have endless entertainment, and love to go out with the camera and just take it in. Getting pictures is secondary to the experience.
Your channel has made me come back from my 12 year break in photography. I got so fed up of the saturation of wildlife photographers all claiming their spot and territory as if they owned the animals they were taking pictures of. You respect their environment, and it's a great thing to witness.
This is a great combination of spontaneous, relaxed demeanor and meticulously planned hard work. Not easy! Most of us have no clue how much work all this is. Not so long ago this used to be done by the whole TV crews who had a person appointed for each aspect of the job, like script, direction, camera, audio, editing etc.
Thank you for sharing this video, it's interesting to see the backround of your beautiful pictures and adventures. Bjørn is funny and cute as always. Take care 🙂
I have been photographing red kites and nesting ospreys this week in Wales, in beautiful weather except for one afternoon when I and my camera equipment got thoroughly drenched by heavy rain, so your straightforward methods of drying out camera gear came in very useful. Your videos are always enjoyable to watch and I always learn something from them, especially as your methods come from doing it and not from theory, and your presentation is always free of waffle. Thank you Morten; I look forward to your next video.
Thank you, Morten! I really enjoyed this one. Right up till the end. Best I’ve watched in quite a while. The pizza and your reflections on photography and presevation was an unexpected bonus!
It was lovely to share a day and pizza with you as you took us through the gear you used, how you use it, why you use what you do in the way that you do. And the big thing underneath it all is about sharing the beauty of the animals in the world and how we can appreciate and look after the environment for them. Cheers!
you're exactly right, people need to put things into context, see the big picture. walk the streets of Los Angeles, there are people without homes everywhere, struggling. or do we complain when someone baits a bird with a single fish ? my point is .... there are MANY, MANY other things in this world to be an activist for. putting out bird food to take some photographs is not one of them. the latter brings joy and benefits to this world. and thank you Morten for being such an awesome person
its a problem if endagered species gets in harms way, and off course any species really . Many birds have been poisened by lead after eating bait . So its always good to not do harm when it comes to boht birds , animals and humans .
I am so thankfull for your videos. I try to bring my camera out in nature and learn how to shoot these wonderfull creatures, birds etc. Not much luck or knowledge yet, but watching youtube give me inspiration to go out. I also really like the videos with Jostein, he is a true gem as well.
Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing all of the knowledge and skills any budding wildlife photographer could hope for. Your love of and respect for nature is so admirably presented in these video essays that we can not help but be inspired. Sincerity, selflessness and love shines through it all
Great to see you doing different things. I really enjoy all your videos and the huge amount of preparation and thought behind every production. Also wonderful to see you came over to Borneo - my part of the world. I love my Zf, it has been my entry into Nikon mirrorless and I am not looking back. I am looking very hard at the Z6III now, the low ISO potentials are compelling. Thank you Morten for sharing your life and work.
Brother, so wonderful to see you again and the subject and the sharing of things as you did. It was so great to once again watch, learn and experience your knowledge. And also to see Björn once more. Thankyou for returning and looking forward to see you out there again soon.
Really great listening to the heart felt thoughts on conservation and photography.The floating hide looks like a perfect little contraption to capture those intimate shotes! Game changer!
Hi Morten congratulations and thank you for sharing how you manage to take your photos (the osprey one is amazing) with us fans, an idol, thank you for everything you do❤
As everyone says here, we always enjoy your videos regardless of the content, you speaking your heart is good enough! We appreciate your authenticity and passion for everything you do. I specifically like your moderate view on photographing dynamics, we all need to be less judgmental and more understanding and empathetic when approaching anything in life. You are right nothing is black and white, there are always different elements that make our experiences different. Let’s all enjoy photogrpahy together- with different ideas and the courage to be different!
Absolutely wonderful video, Morten. I enjoyed getting your thoughts through the whole video on many different things, and all while enjoying a glass of wine. You are a wonderful person and a great photographer.
Thank you for addressing the baiting issue. I was finding it hard to find a scenario where "wildlife" isn't managed to some extent. Always good to watch your videos.
I am touching 70 years soon, worked hard all my life and having troubles with my back. Like 1km from the center of the little city I live in in Belgium, there is a very small nature reserve. I managed to get the rangers to trust me and let me install a small, hidden hide. Passing my time alone in that hide, observing, filming and photographing the kingfishers beats just bout everything for me. I think I very much understood what you wanted to say there at the end of your great video.
Thanks alot for your video from WildLife photographer to another thanks alot for your Inspiration and accuracy in directing in smoothness , God Blessing you ... Cheers from Egypt
Really enjoyed this video, as always Morten, thanks for tkaing the time and effort to make the film. Looking forward to the next video already! all the best. Ian
Thanks for sharing your rich experiences. 😊 You're amazing! By the way, keep Bjorn away from anything that might harm him. That little guy is an irreplaceable treasure.
I really love❤ this kind of videos that really tells a story, showing all tips and expertise directly from the field. Amazing. Thumbs up for Morten. Hi from Colombia.
Thank you for sharing BTS and techniques for taking care of wet gear. It was wonderful! We get gray rainy winter here in Pacific Northwest, US and can definitely use your tips! The comment about baiting reminds me of hunters. I personally don’t like hunting, but I have learned some hunters are active conservationist to sustain their hunting ground. If baiting or hunting does more favor than harm to nature, I am not against it.
What a fantastic video! Lots of useful information, combined with exterior images and practical examples. And I completely agree with your opinion. Thank you so much for continuing to make and share these videos. And yes, I missed it already!
Thank you for amazing experience and for going through the gear and stuff. And the silica gel is a great advice. Always looking forward to see another video. Cheers from Czech Republic.
Morten, thank you very much for taking the time to share your knowledge! I've learned a lot from you. I love watching your adventures into the wilderness, especially Svalbard. Please give a couple of pats to Björn for me!
We really have much in common Morten :-) Your way of life and thoughts on naturephotography... I agree all the way. I use a homemade floating blind and you gave me some ideas to pocket improvements thanks :-) Have a splendid summer !
You are the only person on youtube that I don‘t get bored watching for more than an hour! Loved the insights and thoughts on the baiting part. But what I loved most was Björns snoring in the background 😂😂😂
How very true, I often loose interest if the subject drifts off, Motimer’s videos are full of coffee and useful information 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This man is special!
I also love Morten's videos, but there are many channels out there which are not recommended to you by the algorithm. Newer channels are hard to pick up, which is a shame. There is good stuff flying under the radar.
Bjorn is a superstar, as far as I'm concerned he can do what he wants hahaha. He's not a youngster now so and he's nearly as famous as his dad ❤❤ Just love that dog!
Thank you for this excellent video, including Bjorn’s snoring and the baiting discussion while having this inspiring pizza and beer!
Mannn that dog made me so happy when I heard him snoring @ minute 20. 😂😂😂😂😂 he was like ‘guys listen to Morten while I nap here”
My favorite camera content creator - he actually uses his gear.
I always give a thumbs up when I start a new video because I know Morten's videos are always top quality.
Same here and I know I will watch the whole video. :)
These last few weeks have been difficult and depressing for me and I noticed you added a new video, I rushed to watch it because it’s always educational and entertaining and it also helps to forget everything else, even if its just for an hour and seven minutes. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and video taping a new episode. Cheers!
I haven’t even watched it yet but already know it’s going to be a great video. Thanks Morten👍👍
& I was right!😂👍

To make this videos is a lot of work. So enjoy your coffee, beer, pizza and private time at your cosy home. I'm looking forward to follow your coming adventures. ☕
Even if you made videos of 10hours they would never get boring. Love it. Thank you for letting us be part of your adventures your life
Can’t believe Bjorn is 13.5 years old he looks amazing ❤ thank you Morten great video it’s amazing to see how much work goes into the photos and videos you make. Can’t think of a better way to end the day than with a beer and homemade pizza.

It is why you shine bright. Love the video as always.
To be in nature makes me feel beeing part of it and "having the right size", feeling gratefull and full of peace..
Somebody said once to me: you only can protect what you know! So, I agree with you. Your videos can be a little piece making people more aware of the value of nature. Thank you Morten, especialy for the livestreams
Spending an hour with you watching your videos is time well spent. Lovely job as usual, Cheers~Peter
Morten, I'm never bored watching one of your video's!
I don't know what you feed little Bjorn, but he is amazingly spry and active for a little doggie his age. I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of this video, Morten. Usually 15 minutes is a stretch for me in most photography videos, but you and about three more regular posters always get my undivided attention. Thank you.
Totally agree with you. Nice video. Thank you.
What a perspective of thinking Nature...
He is phenomenal....a Nature-sage with supurb photography.....
I have been watching a lot of your vids and all I can say is well done. Just a tip from someone that does a lot of aurora photos. I use a vacuum bag when I come in from the cold. Put the camera and lens into a vacuum bag and use a hand pump to suck out the air. Stop condensation getting to the camera when it comes into the warm.
Great to see your thoughts behind the curtain on why you choose specific gear.
Just incredible, Morton. You are such a great advocate for wildlife, the natural world, photography, and coffee. "See you out there" trooper! 👏👏👏
Thank you Morten! I really appreciate you breaking this down.
Thank you Morten. I really enjoyed your video.
Your closing comments were an echo of my feelings regarding nature and using bait to attract wildlife for photos and videos -- thank you.
Your ethics, morality and true love of nature, alongside your photographic altruisim is inspirational to many.
Slainte Mhath 🍕🍻

I was really looking forward to it. It was good to see you again. 👍
Cheers! Best photography 'adventure' videos on the web! Thank you, sir!
What a lovely little dog you have ❤
Thank you for coming to visit Indonesia
This is a great combination of spontaneous, relaxed demeanor and meticulously planned hard work. Not easy! Most of us have no clue how much work all this is.

Love your style Morten 🎉
Thank you for sharing this video, it's interesting to see the backround of your beautiful pictures and adventures. Bjørn is funny and cute as always. Take care 🙂
Thank you very much for this extremely beautiful video and your wise words at the end. You are speaking from my Heart ❤
you gotta love @mortenhilmer one of the few guys who doesn't have to explain himself but he does so anyway. Always an enjoyable adventure.

Congratulations, Morten! As always, amazing shots! You rock!
Thank you so much for this video. I learned so much. Give your pup a hug for me. I just said goodbye to my companion of almost 16 years.
Thank you, Morten! I really enjoyed this one. Right up till the end. Best I’ve watched in quite a while.
The pizza and your reflections on photography and presevation was an unexpected bonus!
As ever Morten, your videos weather about wildlife or information on wildlife photography are always worth the wait. 👍
Finally he came back with new car, Morten for your shots man we believe in you
It was lovely to share a day and pizza with you as you took us through the gear you used, how you use it, why you use what you do in the way that you do. And the big thing underneath it all is about sharing the beauty of the animals in the world and how we can appreciate and look after the environment for them. Cheers!
Thank you Morten, better a masterpiece once or twice a year than just anything less. You are a GEM!
you're exactly right, people need to put things into context, see the big picture. walk the streets of Los Angeles, there are people without homes everywhere, struggling. or do we complain when someone baits a bird with a single fish ? my point is .... there are MANY, MANY other things in this world to be an activist for. putting out bird food to take some photographs is not one of them. the latter brings joy and benefits to this world. and thank you Morten for being such an awesome person

Love watching your videos about photography whenever you have time to make them, Morten...they are so...wholesome!
As usual, gently, nice, wellspoken and generous :-) Like a smörgåsbord, take what you like. Thanks Morten
I appreciate that you shared your expertise opinions and experiences on nature photography with us,thanks！

Glad to see you again. I appreciate you sharing your perspective on different challenging topics. Good for you.
Thank you for the insights and advises. Answered some questions I came upon when taking pictures of very quick birds like wrens.
Fascinating! Looking forward to seeing more of you this year.
Love how the Bjorn's nose and then the whole snout makes its way into the frame making him look like an overly curious passer-by :)
