Hard Work Gets Rewarded - Mistakes Punished
Vložit

- Hi everyone. This is episode 6 in my series about my daily life as a wildlife photographer.
This episode shows how hard work sometimes gets rewarded - and how mistakes gets punished when It comes to wildlife photography…
I have now been working on attracting wildlife to my land for more than 6 years, and I think I just had the best evening in my photo blind since I moved here to the farm.
It is late summer in Denmark, and as always time just flies way too fast. I often wish nature could slow down just a bit so that I would have the time to better embrace the four seasons:)
Watch the livestream where I photographed the badger and the raccoon dog:

Thank you so much everyone for all these encouraging and beautiful comments. I am reading every single one of them and it makes me so happy. I really really really appreciate 🙏🙏
Absolutly stunning work!!! Respect here♥
Hi sir
Hello, I really enjoy your work. I’m an American living in the Philippines. I enjoy underwater photography and video but I am starting to photograph the wildlife here. I’m learning a lot from your videos. Thank you so much
Morten. This video brought me to tears. I am from Canada and lived there until I was 43. I had a small farm just east of Winnipeg and you could not see my house from the road. There was no one behind me for 7 miles and I bordered a provincial forest. I was hunter, bowhunter and a photographer, but also owned an agency in the city, a 35 minute commute. I would come home and watch the wildlife in the yard, go for walk on my place, hunt deer in the back and sometimes take my dog by quad a mile down the road for ducks. It's a long story, but I sold everything and in some strange way, ended up in the concrete jungle of LA in 2012. I have been trying to get out ever since. There is no wildlife here and it is very hard on me. I still do photography and film, but it's more commercial and documentary. Hopefully soon, I will be back in the woods again where I belong. In the meantime I will keep watching your films and dream that I am there with you. Thank you for doing what you do and sharing it with us.
Thanks a lot for sharing your story and thoughts Sheldon. I totally understand how you must feel in the city. I really hope you’ll find your way back to your roots. Until then I’ll do my best to keep your dream alive😊
See you out there…
Wow Sheldon I hope you get back to the peace and joy found only in the woodlands, pastures, etc... Good luck!
Strange the directions life pulls us in sometimes. Hope you make it back up here soon Sheldon, best of luck.
@@joshhead9368 Hi Josh. I made it up to Fargo, North Dakota at least and got up to Manitoba for visit last November. Perhaps I'll get back to Canada, but at least I'm out of LA. Thanks buddy.
Everytime I watch Morten Hilmer vlog. The time passes by and suddenly it's the end of the video and man I never want it to finish. I always wish, oh! what if it was a bit longer ? I don't know what happens to my attention span. I am so focused watching these videos, 40 minutes feels so short. Thanks a lot for such a beautiful thing you deliver here Morten.
absolutely right
Thank you Morten, you inspire. It is amazing to see your videos showing us what is possible if you focus on what you love to do. I am a 63 year old women and I am going to Churchill Manitoba to photograph the polar bears, because you help me live my long life dream. Thank you for all you do for us. Have fun in Norway!
Hi Susan. Thank you for your nice compliment. I hope you will have an amazing time in Churchill 😀
This is not less than a master piece. I would say you're rocking Morten in bringing the best content we are looking for:)
I definitely agree! Doesn't get any better!
You probably have the most soothing and peaceful channels on youtube. After a hectic and stressful day at work, it's always nice to see a new video of yours pop up.
You must be the most humble authentic youtuber in the history, so glad I discovered you years ago & see that fame hasn't changed you. Pay off deserved for sure :)
We have squirrels, brown and black; as well as badgers, but the badgers are ferret badgers, so a lot smaller! We also have a ton of snakes and centipedes for those sitting in the jungle from Spring onwards...
Красивый фильм. Красивая природа 🌲🙂
A person that have gorilla tejp laying around are well prepared ;) and pro tip are using " construction" grond screws, lasts forever and and sits firmly in the ground (as they are screwd in)
As for and You and Me, When nature are close and at hand with our gentle support of food or shelter we feel lucky ;) and it makes us smile
Edit one, Badger in good light 5+ for you
Edit two in just a few seconds, Racoon Dog's, in pair, lucky you for having that around..And it knows you are around 15:22 , look at that sense of smell.
In my eyes, if you scared the deer that's a good thing as it keeps away from humans, but yes a no scare is better
This is wonderful highlights the importance of protecting our beautiful planet.
You did very well to get that close to the deer. The only way you could have gotten closer is if they had been somewhat acclimated to humans before on a regular basis and their fear level would have dropped by a great deal. I still think the images are beautiful. A few years younger, and I would be heading your way. I will enjoy your work through your eyes.
Thank you Morten! It’s so beautiful!! ❤
Beautiful video 📹 shots woulderful 👌 sharing ❤ GBU always with your team and friends 😊 family 👪 too
One of the greatest Nikon Ambassador ever seen. Its always pleasure to watch the video.
Hey Morten, thank you so much for sharing this beautiful moments, recordings and photos with us! That's so inspiring and it makes me want to go out and take pictures and videos.
Moments like the deer encounter you had are always overwhelming. In my last CZcams video I also tried to photograph deer. I sat down at the edge of a forest and after a few hours a doe and her fawn came out of the forest just a few metres away from me. It was such a great experience and the shots I was able to take fascinate me every time I look at them!
Keep up the good work, Morten and good luck with the squirrels!
Greetings from Germany
Max
I can only agree with you, Max! Some encounters in nature are simply overwhelming! I just watched your video and wow! You are only 14 years old and you are so involved with nature. Your footage is really impressive. It's worth taking a look. Keep up the good work, Max and Morten!
Thanks a lot Max. I’m looking forward to watching your video.
I’ll leave a comment when I have watched it 👍
I swear by the God. When I watch your videos i feel im in nature ❤🌱
As a new wildlife CZcamsr I’m very much enjoying your videos Morten. You’re my favorite CZcamsr and your stories and cinematic footage are a great inspiration. Thanks from Canada.
Hi Simon and thanks a lot for your nice compliment. I’m looking forward to seeing some of your videos when I’m back from Norway.
I wish you all the best luck with your photography and your CZcams adventure.
We need more people to speak for all the creatures in nature who can’t speak for themselves…
Exciting big Hertzog energy takes this up an extra notch.
"i wish spring could last 10 months." I think they call that Argentina, Morten.
Its such a joy and pleasure to watch this video. Welcome to Norway!
Great video as always Morten :) At 3:49 = white dog problems lol!
16:20 Those eyes are telling something... That's a beautiful time freeze
Beautiful Morten! 🙏
Morten is such an inspiration. All the scenery, all the images, all the mood he shares, are beyond words to explain.
Those raccoon dogs, amazing
Yet again, Morten. You are blowing us away with your minimalistik wildlife videos,- your passion and determination is fantastic and I always enjoy to be a part of your community. Mojn
Thank you for leaving such an amazing compliment. I really appreciate it and it is very encouraging 🙏
Hi, thank for sharing your photos it's inspiring. excellent Chanel . Greetings from South of Chile! 🌦🌦🌳🌳
Wow, what a beautiful and amazing video. I watched it for the photography but was moved by the story it tells. Thank you!
Words isn't enough to appreciate about your work. I just wanna say it's incredible. Beautiful Scenery.
It's like watching a mini movie, I never skipped a second, everything was just beautiful and peaceful.
Im in Belize at the min with British army and so glad i brought the gear with me well my canon r6 with 24-105 and my canon 800f11
Wildlife is all around me with woodpeckers and fly catchers and green parrots
Even playing the role of unit combat photographer
U have inspired me for a few years now to be a better photographer
I thank you stay safe my friend
"I hope... it's not because it was run over" Really took me by suprise 😂😭
Love the work you do Morten! Beautiful how you encounter all of nature with wonder and awe! A squirrel to you is a novelty, I unfortunately have to regularly catch them in my attic and relocate them miles away. Squirrels will come back even from 3 to 5 miles away. I hate to do it, but they cause so much damage in the attic... Again, from around the world us following you, how much of nature that is just outside our homes we take for granted.
Thank you Morton. Your video work and editing is over the top. You had me captivated the whole time. I felt like I was there with you.
I wish to be just like you when I grow up….wait….I’m older than you! Shoot, well if we all have some of your spirit and love for the wildlife our world will be a better place! Thanks for sharing so much wonder and beauty!
wow.. first time i saw a racoon dog.. that is a beautiful creature.
My favourite photographer !!
I wait for weeks to get amazed by his videos again and again!
Sitting down and watching a new Morton vlog with a cup of coffee in the morning... does it get any better? Your enthusiasm is contagious. I'm always amazed how your passion for every creature translates into your photos.
Your commentary on the raccoon dogs was beautifully said
You're a master storyteller with pics and video. Thanks for sharing your beautiful life with us.
Your videos never seem long enough .
Your videos always relax me
Thank you sir .
Thanks for inviting us to your farm, Morten. That is a type of photography that I love. Over the last 35 years we have planted so many trees that provide food for wildlife that I seldom leave home to do photography anymore. We have many whitetail does and fawns this season that I can just step out and photograph. We have a white oak tree that has bushels of acorns this year and the squirrels are loving it. What they don't eat they drop on the ground and the deer love them. We also have a red oak tree and the squirrels start on it earlier in the season. I set up a "Hollywood" set on the back porch and I photograph birds in whatever setting that I put together to look good. I'm glad to see you making the most of your place for wildlife. Plant some nut trees and you'll eventually find that you have so many squirrels that they are pests. But you'll have deer and birds, too. BTW, I really liked that one picture of the raccoon dog. Stood out like 3D. Good luck with squirrel hunting at your friend's place. Don't forget to get some of those nuts to plant in pots. You can transplant them later and have some good wildlife attractors in a few years.
Thanks a lot for sharing👍 there are a lot of hazel trees on my land, so I really hope to see more squirrels in the near future😊
Your videos are always so mellow and filled with delightful surprises. I love the music you choose to complement the visual mood you create. Thanks for your art, on every level.
Thanks for posting these. It's hard not to love the stories you share.
Nice video Morten! The squirrels are very elusive. Here in Spain I'm having a lot of difficulties to photograph them too, I know where they are and if I put food in the place they eat it but when i go with the hide they never show up, in more than one occasion I heard the squirrels in the trees above me and even throwing sticks to the hide... I think they have enough intelligence to see the hide an throw sticks to determine if is a thing that can move, etc. In summary, if I plant the hide in the area, the squirrels never show up
Great to SEE your stories!!!! Keep inspiring ❤️❤️
The video, The narration, The pictures, The mood you created, the choice of music... Everything... Man it was awesome... 40 minutes went by in a blink...
Another inspirational video from you, Morton. What a wonderful start to my day. Thanks!
If you do a trip in nature, who will never come back emtpy handed, because you have been connected to nature and thats a so high good. Enjoy, all the best for your next trips! Would be a new book title: My Special Backyard
Thank you so much for your work, Morten. You're a source of inspiration for me !

I just discovered you and almost all the videos I see have brought me happy tears!
A little masterpiece build on the "less is more". Less bs, more content. "I'm just a jealous guy" in a good way. Thanks Morten!

I pause the video every now and then to soak in the bliss of the scene and make it last longer. Watching your videos is pure joy. Thanks Morten
I have been watching your videos for 5 years or so now, and I am always happy to see a new one. Your videos inspired me to get serious about wildlife photography, be out in the cold and winter, and really improve. Thank you for creating these vignettes into your experience.
Thank you. You are such an inspiration. I look forward to your Norway work.
Awesome video once again! I so look forward to your next video, Morten. Blessings to you always.
