- I am in Norway to do bird photography, and this time it is very challenging.
During this two-week adventure we are photographing birds of prey, climbing a mountain and camping in the wild nature of Norway.
I'm in great company though because I am visiting Jostein Hellevik - also known as Fotobonden.

Enjoy watching.
See you out there...
Happy new year everyone and happy watching. I hope you will enjoy joining me on this adventure. I am looking forward to sharing the behind the scenes video with you. Write your questions in a comment, and I will include as many as possible. See you out there...
Do you ever get bored of photography? Do you have any other hobbies or things you do outside of the creative process?
This video was amazing during watching. I will suggest to make videos longs like this one. Thank you Morten ❤
Over 1 hour... couldn't be more happy! Happy new year! Love your work Morten.
How did Jostein finally placed the fish inside the water? I guess in that little black box at the end?
Ohhh what an amazing video and experience ❤
Happy new year
Putting videos of this quality out for free is a service to all humanity. What an incredible channel.
Truly.
Thanks a lot. I’m glad you enjoyed the story😊😊🙏
so well said! Morten is a hero, and my inspiration and model!
I've said it before, if there's some ranking for best quality channel, this has to be on top. I don't have words to describe how amazing this is
Incredible content. Sort of stuff you'd expect from a highly rated netflix docu-series. Honestly, Incredible work sir 🙇♂️
This video made me cry. I don’t know why… Probably because it was so wholesome and a distraction from the hardship of my life. For over an hour I go to leave this world behind and get lost in the peaceful narrative of two life long best friend who I feel like I got to know too. As a photographer as well, I believe that this is what humanity needs more of do you agree?❤❤❤
Connecting with people’s emotions - make them smile, inspire them, make them emotional - is a huge thing for me so reading your comment really makes me so happy. Thanks a lot for sharing this🙏🙏
Hi, morten. Myself Nabarun Roy from India. U know ur videos r so pure just like ur soul. Every Night i go to bed while watching ur videos so that i get good dreams of meeting u someday and capture those lovely moments of nature. The most important moment in this video when the 1st osprey picked up the fish and in the midair it was hovering and shaked its head which caused the blurry effect of water droplets. Thanks a lot. BTW which lens u r using in this video.
your right it effected me the same way tears to my eyes ,im a photographer to but suffering a little with my health so not as fit as should be, it was a great video.
I too had the same feeling for his another video❤❤❤❤
Oh my god! I felt the same way. I just felt a wave of happiness and well-being at the end. I’m 65 and spent my first time birding earlier this week. One of my best experiences ever ❤ I’m now hooked on Morton’s videos and work
How on earth can it be possible to 1) take excellent photos and videos of an osprey, 2) film yourself while doing so, and 3) basically make a behind the scenes of behind the scenes and all that in such immense quality?! This is just insane 😯🤩
😂😂😂 thanks a lot for your compliment👍🙏
Well, what can anyone say, absolutely OUTSTANDING production by Jostein and Morten. I am nearly lost for words ! What a start to 2024!
Thank you John for such an encouraging comment🙏
This is not about only wildlife photography, it's more about embracing wilderness in it's all. for a short time, you guys made us been a little part in your journey by sharing them with us and i be grateful for that. this place is a truly beautiful sanctuary ! best wishes for this year to come ! 😍
Thank you so so much for such a wonderful and encouraging compliment.
I think our goal is received then🙏🙏
So much more!!!
Jostein is such an amazing person. Seeing how excited he gets for Morten just shows he is the type of person you want to be around! "There is my best friend from Denmark... I am super proud of you!" We should all have a friend like Jostein. We should all strive to be a friend like Jostein.
In an era where 15 seconds videos get the most attention (from the ones with the least of it 😅) I'm happy to see so many people still appreciating this form of art. Det hjalper att forsta danska, norska och svenska nar man ser pa dessa!
Tack Morten!
This is not just a UA-cam video, it is a movie that you could see in the cinema. Congratulations and thank you
A very special video, Morten, and lovely to see Jostein again. When I opened my son's Christmas present to me, I was overjoyed to see your calendar and the desk top cards. When he told me the stand was made by your Dad with wood from your farm, I burst into tears. Crying for happy on Christmas morning. Thank you dear Morten for sharing your life with us in Australia.
Morten and Jostein, Thank you so much for creating such wonderful content. The quality of the video and how it is delivered is top notch. Most importantly, showcasing a friendship and bond of two humans who share the same passion for wildlife and nature is so wonderful to see. God bless to you both.
I can't stop smiling... had tears in my eyes when I saw that osprey hit the water... You create such an amazing and beautiful story!... Excellent work guys... thank you for showing us what 'passion' is all about!
Such an amazing video to start 2024. I am in love with those pictures of the osprey, but even more I love the story behind the photos. I'm also overjoyed we got to see more of Jostein, he's such an incredible man, a bundle of energy and what a wonderful friendship you both share.
Jostein is that energetic buddy you need in your life. Loved the attitude and hospitality. Cheers!
This must be one of the most inspiring videos I've seen within photography. The enthusiasm and passion is so contagious, I love how you can't hold back the Danish and Norwegian when it gets really intense, as a swede that makes me feel more connected🙂
Morten you tell stories like no other. With friend Jostein, this one is extra special. I love how you both express your joy and enthusiasm of capturing and sharing nature’s most precious moments. All of us feel your emotion and rejoice with you. God bless you and all the best in 2024.
Oooooh! Even before I start watching, let me say that I've been waiting for the new episode so much! Recently I've been rewarching your older videos Morten and enjoyed every single one of them! And now let's watch this new masterpiece! Wish you all the best in 2024 dear Morten! :)
Edit: Regarding the BTS video, I would love to learn more about your experience with 180-600 mm :)
Lovely video, so great to see you! 😊
Thanks you so much and happy new year:)
I answered your other message, but just to be sure that you see it. I will include your question about the 180-600 in the behind the scenes video.
Thank you so much for being a member of my channel - welcome onboard :)
Thanks so much Morten, I appreciate it!
I've been following you with passion since your very first video on UA-cam, so definitely happy and proud to become a member! Take care!
Like 2 kids having the best summer vacation imaginable!
You guys work well together. Thank You for another beautiful video, and Happy New Year to you both!👍
Oh yes I thought several times GL you is really kids! I'm glad the adventure ended well:]
WOW!!!! Amazing pictures and better than each thriller in TV.
One Oscar for the stunning images,
one Oscar for the camera crew,
one Oscar for the osprey, one for Jostein and one for your Morten!
Best start in the wildlive adventures of 2024! Thanks for these great film!
When you get a notification about a new video, you're happy. When you check it out and see it's a ONE HOUR long format, you get an even broader smile! Loved every minute of it, so well produced. I think it's probably one of your best videos ever made, if not the best. Jostein adds so much toit, he is such a joyful character, full of knowledge and passion. We all need a Jostein in our life! :)
What a nice trip Morten, a dream. I have dreamed with you and Jorten this fantastic adventure. Really really thank you. Absolutely FANTASTIC
Fabulous video Morten. Congratulations to you and Jostein. This is more than a wildlife video, this is all about real life and the beauty of nature. This is the best way to start 2024! I have never seen such photos of the Osprey before. Well done!!
Felt like i am watching a movie ,amazing to watch
Closure! Hahaha glad to hear the pigeons are safe again.
im in tears, watching this gave me goosebumps. your production, teamwork, hardwork, and depth of story telling is touching. ive been watching you since I was 19 years old, now im 23, still working on my pursuit of photography while working. your work keeps me going, inspires me, and hugs the soul. thank you morten, it has been an honor to watch you grow personally and professionally. you both did incredible and i am beyond happy for the shots you got, well deserved and a very well told story. thank you again.
fantastic, I’ve been waiting for a new film from you Morten, this will be amazing! I hope 2024 brings everything you wish 😀👍👏🍺 That was an incredible film guys, the video and the stills that you both captured are as good as it ever gets, congratulations to you both!
Wow!! What a production! The quality, the music, the effort, the details, the emotions conveyed, the story, and the actual photographs were just beyond words! Thank you both for sharing with us your visions and incredible work!! - Raleigh & Kathy
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Thank you for creating such a beautiful piece of escapism on the internet! The way you capture the feeling of these moments in nature is inspiring.
Wow wow wow Morten what a beautiful experience you've had and thanks very much for bringing us along on this trip. Jostein must be a fantastic guide and most of all a very good friend to give you these opportunities. Those osprey shots were amazing. Also I was intrigued by the flower during your climb at 37:35. I learned this is not the blossom of the flower but it is caused by a gall wasp (Diplolepis Rosea). Very interesting to learn this. So thanks!
I was just binge watching all your old videos, and now you uploaded just a new one!! That can not be coincidence! Im excited to look into it! :)
Simply stunning. Forget the final shots for a minute. The scenery, the wildlife, the light, the mist. Then Bam! What a great experience, thanks for sharing.
@MortenHilmer I have a Stuga in Fritsla Sweden. If you ever need a place to stay, you're welcome to use it. I live in San Francisco, so I'm not often there. It's only 2 years old, so a nice little place to stay.
Unbelievable what a dedication. What an amazing video of the amazing Norwegian landscape and its wildlife. It does not get any better then this. Big compliments to you both!
Morten, you have been one of the guys that made me dive into wildlife photography myself and I thank you for it! And your videos keep getting better and better. Quality beats quantity!
The final moment when you got the shot of the Osprey in the water. Wow, It gave me goosebumps and I must admit a few tears of joy. This is one of the best films I've seen in a long time. This has inspired me to up my game. The pictures are beyond amazing. Thank you Morten and a big thank you to your co-host Jostein. A film worthy of an award!!
I love watching your adventures and this must be one of your best so far. You put us right there with you to share in the beautiful nature, warm friendship, challenging photo set up, and the thrilling few crucial seconds when all the hard work pays off. And, because of your "all in" attitude, the photos of the osprey are just so superb! I appreciate your positive comment at the end - it's the pictures that you don't get that keeps you coming back. While I always look forward to more of your videos, each one satisfies so much. Thank you for sharing with us.
Wünsche Dir ein gutes erfolgreiches Neues Jahr. Freue mich auf weitere super interessante Videos. Vielen Dank für Deine Arbeit!❤
Heartwarming as always. Thank you for these films, which are able to tear us out of the bleakness of the modern world, every time. Wish You Morten a Happy new year, with full of adventures, calmness by nature, good health, and many many many wonderful lights! Thanks again!
Oooh waowwww... This first picture is incredible with thé sun on thé wings... Just waowww
Ver su video me ha emocionado, es de esos videos que es grato ver una y otra vez y el lugar donde uno que quiere estar!
Jostein Hellevik and morten hilmer.... Scrubbed all my plans for tonight, happy to see a new video morten :)
That is amazing to hear. Happy watching:)
What better way to ring in the new year than with a new video from my favourite wildlife photographer, Happy New Year Morten!
This video really makes you feel the tension and the reward of wildlife photgraphy. I ended up probably as excited as you for the beauty of the conditions, that crisp norwegian morning, to perfectly frame your incredible osprey footage. And how priceless it is to have friends like Jostein to host you and guide you in their place. This content is just perfect.
Absolutely amazing! The pinnacle of wildlife photography. I am flabbergasted to see the final four shots taken with a 24-70. The planning was outstanding, because it was able to get the osprey just 3 to 4 meters in front of the camera. Perfection is the right word! It can't get any better than this. The technique of Morten and the wisdom of Jostein, together are unbeatable. And congratulations for using two lenses that aren't "snob" at all, but rather accessible to a wide range of photographers (the Z 24-70 and the Z 180-600). Looking forward to the behind the scenes. See you out there Morten!!
Thank you for leaving such a nice comment. Really encouraging to read.
Cracking stuff Morten, right up my street. See an image in your head, choose the location, work out how youre going to get the shot, put a load of time into the project and have a damned good time in the process!! Not only will you have some great images to look back on in the future but you made some lifelong memories to go with them and shared them with a dear friend. Thats what its all about. Perfect 📷👊🏼 Oh and a great effort lugging the big Savotta up the mountain🤣👍🏼Looking forward to the next one👀
Morten HVOR er det fedt og dejlige og se at du selv efter alle disse år kan bliver opstemt og overrasker på den måde :) du er en inspiration og følge.
This is no less than an adventure movie or a full fledged documentary. Amazing narration, amazing shots and especially that music is cherry on top. My heart skipped several beats as I was watching you guys treck. And that breathtaking arial shot after that with fire camp visible is splendid. The ending is what made me almost have tears watching. Thanks for making such a masterpiece
What a beautiful friendship AND beautiful pictures! Cherish both! 🙂
Var næsten bekymret, men man ved altid det er youtubes bedste kvalitet når der kommer en video fra dig, selvom der kan være lidt ventetid :) Godt nytår til dig!
He is a MASTER PIECE IN wild life photography,,,, love from India,,,🙏🙏🙏
Congratulations on an amazing photoshoot Morten, I loved every moment of this adventure. Very well done.
So much second-hand happiness from this video. Thank you. I aspire to be like you two beautiful souls, and I hope that nature like this, and people like you, will exist until I reach a high age, I could not imagine anything bringing me more happiness than a friendship like yours and adventures like your two trips there. Much love to you, wishing the both of you the best of health! And thank you again, Morten, for the incredible film you have created.
Man the way you guys shot it and documented it, feels like we are with you on the trip it's absolutely amazing and also thank you both for reminding ourselves that how important, relaxing and beautiful nature and wildlife is 🎉.

Morten..you are such an inspiring for me. Respect and love
Wow! I am so glad that all your and Jostein's work paid off! Thank you so much for sharing this experience.
Morten, how can you keep your audience without these wonderful videos for so long. I already thought something bad was happening.
But with this film you stopped my illness and now I'm waiting for the best films from you again.
Amazing photography and filming. SUPER
Perfect team and friendship. Wonderful for us guys. Cheers from China.
Morten and Jostein. I am speechless! Simply superb filming, narrative, lighting, location and stills images. Your film-making has reached new heights with this delightful film. Well done both!
Thank you for this hour of adventure and joy in this chaotic world. I am so grateful for what you do!
Halo Morten, it's really fantastic how you can motivate people with this video. These are all recognizable things that you encounter as a wildlife photographer and you also come across as a sympathetic person. That's important to me as a viewer. You're doing well, I hope. I can still see a lot of your video, greetings Rino
Masterpiece as always. You are my happy place Morten.
PS: I must say your hiking trip with Jostein reminded me greatly of me and my bestfriend hiking together every time, you had so much fun, as we do every time. It brought a wave of memories. Both you and I are very lucky to have such good friends who take part in such adventures.
When works pay off, Great video and photo work❤️😇🙏👍
I spend an hour with you both and am so strongly connected to you that the joy of these pictures as they were created takes my breath away. I'm so happy about these pictures, about your happiness in spending this time together, that I won't soon forget this hour of wildlife! Thank you so much Morten and Jostein...thank you so very much...
Thanks for your very kind words - very encouraging 🙏
I've always considered that the preparation is the most interesting part in wildlife photography and if you've worked well, wildlife offer incredible scene to you.
You have worked very very well, this is simply amazing ! hat down to you both !
Thank you so much to sharing this with us.
That was absolutely phenomenal, Morten! I've really enjoyed watching you work with Jostein. All of the images you've captured in this video are spectacular, but those final Osprey photos were jaw dropping. Looking forward to seeing the BTS release!
Wow. Great cinematography and story. Thanks for sharing.
Dear Mortren, your stories are the few ones out there that I will keep watching over and over again. I can't imagine how much efforts you've made in documenting the trip and the exciting moment. Super well done, and thank you for sharing!
very beautiful, nature, photos and bushcraft, I love it
Oh Morten what an adventure , thank you so much for sharing those magical moments and photos and thanks to Jostein! (Now i can watch the behind the scenes video 🤗)
Thankyou both of you. It's so nice to see such a beautiful friendship as well as the photography, well done
Incredible footage! Just what the doctor ordered! Thank you!
Morten Hilmar, thank you, this is incredible❤
Morten! Big bow video and music. story!🥰: thank you☺.
Just simply BEAUTIFUL - and incredible! Thank you again for sharing your journey.... 🙂
Love this video...especially because Vråliosen was the place where I was imprinted on the Nordic nature 54 years ago when I was on holiday there with my parents from Denmark. I luckily succeeded in infecting my wife with this love for the Nordic nature 30 years later in the same place...and we will soon go back on a photo tour if we can get a place at Jostein's.
Not only are you out in the real world, enjoying being alive....but you take the time to create beautiful videos for everyone to enjoy. Wow. Thank you.
This is just incredible 💌 Your love and dedication towards your craft is commendable.
And Your friend Jostein is such a good soul. You two working together is the 'dream team'.
Thank you for sharing this masterpiece with us. ❤

Coming back from my winter Trek and watched this beauty, I'm literally crying morten. Great shots
Oh my goodness, this Osprey was able to dive to the side of the tent, it's really a miracle!
Hi Morten we love your work you and Jostein are real cool guys great work thanks you for hours of happy watching Chris & Carol UK
that moment when Jostein starts saying "Yes yes yes!" and you see the osprey come down, with the backlight highlighting its feathers, I had the biggest smile on my face for you guys! That made me so happy, after seeing the hardship you went through to get the shot. Was magical. Thank you.
By far my favourite wildlife photography channel , absolute pleasure to watch as always
merci à vous deux pour cette magnifique vidéo qui nous rappelle que la persévérance paye toujours, de superbes images pour égayer notre quotidien
