NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY in DENMARK | Behind the scenes
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- I am in the local woodland doing landscape photography and trying to photograph the beautiful scenery created by the newly fallen snow.
Even though the Landscape this day is amazing, nature photography is a challenge because there are so many beautiful images to capture.
I have just spent a lot of time in the Norwegian mountains doing wildlife and landscape photography and it feels great to be back. Despite the abundance of the amazing wildlife in Norway, which is relatively easy to find and photograph, there is something really nice about being in a very familiar forest very near to where I live in Denmark.
* ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The temperature dropped to below zero degrees celsius and suddenly it started to snow. I only had few hours left of the day but decided to go to the local forest to do some landscape photography and to make some b-roll and maybe a behind the scenes vlog.
It is always a challenge to get out from the warm living room and directly into the forest with so many beautiful subjects to photograph, but after a little time, I could feel how the mind and body relaxed and then I started to get good photos.

See you out there...
I have got quite a few questions about my equipment. Thinking about making a "WHAT'S IN MY BAG" Video. Any suggestions or questions ?
One thing I had noticed in your last video was you didn't have the rear lens cap on in your bag and was surprised. Have you always done this? Be interested in the SD cards you use and microphones. Thank you!
Yes please do so!
yes that will be interesting ....
I'd be more interested in your post processing personally. But I'm easy, anything will do, you're v watchable whatever you're talking about 😀
Hi, I love your videos 😊 How do you decide what gear to bring with you? And how much does it all weigh? And how do you manage all of the gear, i.e. battery life, cold, moisture etc? Thanks!
beautiful beautiful Denmark- but every country got its own beautiful nature- the world is beautiful no matter east west north south- this planet is a big gift and we are lucky just to be here and experience it- life is a big gift
I always enjoy seeing your excitement and happiness at just being afield, regardless of the weather. Keep taking us with you.
Thanks a lot - I will;)
Beautiful location and imagery. I feel bad for laughing so hard at your narration of the drone misfortune. The way you personified the drone made me laugh to tears as you described how he went mental. Thank you, I needed that.
Haha that is awesome. Happy you godt a good laught. So did I when I realized it was quite okay;)
Morten your eye sees the patterns. It's a beautiful thing.
'The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.'
Take care Morten.
which song is this again? +@Tom McClean
Hi Amandus these words come from a poem by Welsh poet R S Thomas.
'Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.'
Best wishes from Belfast Northern Ireland.
thanks a lot! :)
Just awesome
Do you think it’s about Santa ha ha
My only complaint about your videos is that I always end up wanting a cup of coffee...
Lol
A nice cup of coffee😊
you´re the happiest man with a simple cup of coffee.... and that´s wonderful my friend
You're the best example of simplicity.
Really great video. Very peaceful and a nice reminder to slow things down when photographing, just see what happens. Thank you
"And of course I have my coffee" - classic Morten 🤣🤣
The world really needs more Eco Heroes 🌍❤️
Love your videos, keep them coming. Keep up the drone work too, it is a wonderful perspective.
you make us live with you magical moments. I wish you a lot of success. thank you
Beautiful Morten, beautiful!! Please keep us inspired. Lou
Hi Morten, thanks for the great videos. I appreciate all the work that goes into making them. I love your passion. I'm looking forward to your future videos.
So good to hear and so kind of you to letting me know. I am looking forward to hopefully upload more often in the near future😀
Morten, we all love your videos. It´s so inspiring. Keep it up. We looking forward to your next video...
Natures beauty is all around us. Sometimes, it takes a special eye to see it.
From Tunisia 🇹🇳
You are perfuct 👌
I am on the edge of my seat when Morten walks into the forest. You never know what happens!
OMG! you never miss your best friend(coffee) ;)
Outstanding video/stills. Keep doing what you are doing. Great channel. Love your zest for the outdoors.
I really loved the second (in the end) photo with the leafs great work! Thx for yet another inspiring video!
Dear Morten,
They agree with the Drones, they have happened to almost everyone in the beginning.
After all wildlife photography is even the macro shots.
Keep going ! ,all the best in your adventure!
Awesome, awesome video, Morten! Loved the pace of it, and the location was stunning. Thanks for sharing!
Gorgeous conditions, Morten! Just love it when the landscape is covered in frost.
Love your style of story telling, very relaxed and natural. Great photography too. Thanks
new morten vid = instant happiness. Thank you!
Enjoyed that. It's proof that beauty is everywhere if we just look for it. Some natural beauty is obvious and astounds the senses. Other times and places it is subtle and only for those with vision and childlike wonder. You obviously have what it takes to find beauty everywhere. Well done! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and photos.
Great video Morten! I love the macro shots of nature, simple beauty. Thanks my friend!
Beautiful Morten, love the peaceful walks in the forest. Keep up the nice work !!
Morten since watching your videos, you have inspired me to be a better photographer. I have enjoyed your videos, and keep your finger on the shutter button my friend !!
Thank you so much:) this is an awesome comment to get:)
Really enjoy watching your vlogs Morten, your enthusiasm really comes through! And the drone footage was great, I hope you get it fixed soon! Keep it up! Sam.
Thanks a lot - drone i fixed;)
Good work Morten, you're really inspiring people to go out and photograph whatever the weather.
Thanks a lot Robert. What an encouraging compliment to get:)
Saw my dream as 10mins video. Fantastic
really like your videos. they are so positive and calm.
Really beautifull job, I enjoy soo much your videos and I love what you do, congratulations!!!!
It's a beautiful day, beautiful place and beautiful photo!!!!
Hey Morten, I would have to agree with Tara Tanaka's comments, as with most things in life, it's not what you have but how you use it and your candid and thought provoking approach to sharing your passion for photography is inspiring. Thanks for sharing!
Everywhere he goes he is as excited as a child
this video is amazing and I love your videos and your photographs
You are so so connected with nature, it's apparent in all your videos, plus it's very soothing and relaxing. Love your style of content. Thanks for inspiring
Thank you very much:)
Beautiful video Morten - a very enjoyable watch and I'll be sure to take some of your professional approach to my own videos
Peace AND Quiet! Very nice.
Exactly! :)
Top video, as usual.
A what’s in my bag video, always goes down well..!
All the best,
Andy
Another great video, you realy cheer me up this Mavic accident :)
Great work! You just inspired me to take my macro lens out with me today.
Loved the small birds calling, we call them Crossbills in the UK, I get them in the woods near me too, its a small world sometimes 👍keep up the great work inspiring stuff👍
Watched Your videos and got inspired, restart my passion again as a nature and wildlife photographer....
very enjoyable
Another great video .....i really enjoyed ...!!!!
waiting for more ....! keep going Morten
Thanks a lot:) more will come quite soon:) Going to spend a little more time doing vlogs in the near future.
LoL, Morten! :) Thumbs up for the drone scene!
You've just made my day again! :D
Anyway, I hope more videos like this will come, we all like your special wildlife / forest vlog style! Amazing camera work, dedication and patience! Well done! Cheers, N.
Hi Nandor and thanks a lot for your awesome comment. So nice to hear. More Wildlife photography and Landscape photography is coming up;)
this is a very nice video, would lave to see more of your work here on youtube. it would be amazing if you could make a weekly video. and maybe a whats in my bag is not a bad idea, but also some ideas, like the exercise you presented in the video would be nice. as a beginner photographer in Denmark, i find it quite hard watching most photographers here on youtube, simply because they often use the big mountains and epic landscapes in the world. I really like to see how you shoot photos here in Denmark, and it gave me a lot of inspiration. thank you, you for more videos soon.
Thanks a lot Andreas - very encouraging with such a message. I will spend more time in the near future, creating videos and I will also try to tell a bit more about my equipment:)
Hi Morten! Your my hero! :D You are the one who inspired me to start a UA-cam channel. I love your videos, your passion for nature, your eyes that catches the beauty of nature... when I'm looking at your videos, I have a weird feeling like I'm looking myself there, it maybe sounds weird but I can't explain otherwise. Those drone shots are great, sorry for the propeller, change it, make it fly. Love your work, keep doing it!
+Leon Kiss hi buddy so great to hear that I can inspire you. Just watched your video. Beautiful little bird and fun with the duck😀Keep up the work and I wish you all the best luck.
So basically today [or earlier actually] you finally did a landscape photo session :)
Thank you for sharing your passion for nature and being in nature. Great tip you share about being mindful and absorbed in the immediate world around one versus being lost with a wandering mind but recognising that that’s ok as well. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to your future uploads
Great pictures, good movie
Thanks for once again taking us along with you Morten. Great scenery, great storytelling, fantastic images 👍👍👍
Awesome video man and feeling sad for Ur drone's wings
Another superb video, they are so real and everything doesn’t always go perfectly. Having said that I’m really sorry about your drone. It doesn’t always have to be getting an image for me, but I like to have my Swarovski scope with me for those animals that are too far away for me to photograph. One advantage of disabilities and using a scooter is that I can carry more weight. I loved your shots, they were truly beautiful and I’m really glad I found your amazing channel.
Thanks you so much Mark Harris for your awesome comment - it is so motivating for me :)
Amazing keep going . you got a really nice shots ;)
It was beautiful day Today. foggy in the forest. it was in Lodz Poland
hahaha...awesome. thank you for sharing
Fantasic video Morten. Cant get enough of your videos! All the best mate :)
poor drone :c
I really like your vlogs and the pictures you shoot.
Thx for another video.
Again, fantastic. Thank you.
Magnificent images and video... Nice work!
These birds sound like crossbills, maybe even Parrot crossbills. I'm not sure because this species is very rare in Poland. Great channel. Best regards.
Beautiful life sir
Beautiful video
Beautiful!
amazing , really really good morten.
Cool videos! I really like them :) Keep going!
Man I am from India
I want to work with you
I just loved photography
But less equipment I didn't succeed
I saw all your videos of photography and swa that how you really you make it in dificullties and shapes more beautiful pictures of Nature, wild, birds.
Man I just love it.
You had such good time in this video, even the accidental crash of the drone. A bit of sad humor in a way. I enjoyed this video. What’s in your bag sounds interesting. For me that would include your clothing. It seems like light clothing for a snowy day and just light cover for your head. Tell us about your camera strap, it looks like something I have seen in videos but have no idea how well they work. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks a lot for such a great comment and for your input. I will do my best to cover as many relevant things as possible in the near future:)
lol with the drone. Freaking birds. I go on a hike in the woods without my camera and I seem to see birds all over that would be great to photograph, I go out with a camera and it's like every bird on the planet has suddenly become extinct.
Hahaha yes I definitely know that feeling:)
Video liked before watched..... check. Time to kick back with a beer and enjoy!
Hahaha - so awesome. Wonderful comment to get;)
Excellent video!!!!
Nice video 👌🌲
Jeg og min kæreste skal til Jylland i april. Hun elsker grønne skove, er der nogle gode steder, du kan anbefale, vi fotograferer begge dele. Love you videos!! Lasse
I love your jumper
07:10 - interesting idea to enforce learning to see. I will try on my own as well.
It an awesome meditative exercise :)
OK, all your subscribers, need to fund a Starbucks Coffee account for you. And is that your muskox sweater? Very nicely done!!
I would really like to know whats in your bag. Thats a great idea!! Please do Morten. Thanks again for another cool video.
Hmm, are you sure you are in Denmark? I didn’t seen snow this winter. You are lucky.
Nice video.
Yes unfortunately it is very rare that we have snow:)
Hopefully you got some awesome images Morten !! And I hope your mavic pro will be okay !!
Hi Martin - it is fixed and in good condition;)
Hi Morten. Do u use a wireless Lavalier microphone sending to your vlog camera, or a separate voice recorder The close-up voice recordings and the camera click sound make a really intimate and realistic viewing experience.
😍😍😍😍
Hi! You Page with your equipament dont work. The Wide Angle is a 16-35 f4? Thanks!!
I want to say that I really like your videos... keep it uop "video jeg kan lide" /Lasse
Beautiful vlog!
You have more and more cinematics VLOGs. Nice job! I have Mavic Pro too, and once, I almost lost it - was ~0 celcia degrees and Mavic was over water when I lose control. But fortunally Mavic have 'Return to home' mode. And now I wait spring for new flyings :)
Thanks a lot Evan - so good to hear. It is new to me to vlog, and I hope I will get better and better.
Muito bom!
Video description says Tamron lens but I can see the gold Nikon label on the lens? So what lens is it?
hi Morten, I really like your videos .... I'm watching them all. may I ask you how you made the black and white photo of the trees blurred at 10 minutes and 10 seconds? thank you
What style is the Klattormusen hat you wear so often? I really love it.
Please also edit the shots you take into the video at the time you take it so we can see! love it
+Falker thanks for the nice comment. Please tell me what you mean. Do you want to see how I edit my photos or?
Show your photos during the video, not the end.
+Andrei Ciobotaru thanks for your great input. I really appreciate it 👍
Yeah like whenever we see you take a shot, show the picture you take (video edit it in) so we can link the location and the shot :) Its fun to see you shoot and also to see exactly what you shot in a certain moment or place. A compilation in the end is still nice though!
Yeah! Rather than showing the back of the camera, put the edited picture up! I agree. Cool work though :)
Sir can you tell us what's inside your backpack which and how many camera do you use and one last which is best camera for beginners of wildlife photography make video on it with details for beginners thank you sir
Yes I will make a video very soon.
I always love your Vlogs. May I ask which binoculars do you use?
Definitely and thanks a lot. It is the Zeiss Victory 8X42
Excellent video and beautiful scenes/photos!
Sorry about your drone but good to see you laugh about it.
Very good point about the 2 meter rule, when I first started buying prime wide lenses I was unhappy then remembered what an old pro told me---"Make a photograph" After more practice and slowing down to see instead of just looking they became my favorite lens.
Thanks again for your fantastic video's they mean a lot to me.
Cheers, Pete
Always a pleasure to read you comments Pete - I know exactly what you mean about the primes:)
Sir please guide me please which lens is good Nikon 200-500 mm or Tamron 150-600 g2 for bird photography now I have nikon d850 I m Little confuse... please guide me ..sir I m waiting
great Video ❤❤❤
