- This is episode 8 in my series about my daily life as a wildlife photographer.
Hi everyone. It feels like forever since I have shared my daily life with you. I have simply been too busy with lectures, assignments, events and a lot of other things. To be completely honest it has been too stressful.
Luckily nature photography can do more than adding beautiful photos and memories to the archive - it is the best cure, when I need to reconnect with myself and find my zen.
This video is most of all a life update catching up with the past 2 month, and I am looking forward to sharing my future adventures with you.
See you out there...

Morten, no words... Honestly. You are the only CZcamsr that I can watch a full 50 minute video of without skipping a minut. Honestly amazing. Keep doing what you're doing already, you're a big inspiration for me
Same here. Hes so talented.
I always wish the video lasts longer
I came here to echo this exact same thought. I'm about to go embark on my own microcosm of a journey to photograph and I am watching this video for inspiration.
Wow I just realized that happen to me too 😳
True!🙌
Morten, you're one of my favorite humans. Thanks for staying true to yourself.
I am so happy to see Morten again. Best wildlifer on CZcams in my opinion. Greets Stefan
And beautiful calendars too ... I buy in bulk for the whole family ... but I'm feeling a bit guilty when I see the packaging work ... 🙂
Hlo sir
May I came to work with you
Happiness is a cup of coffee and sharing a love of nature with people like Morten Hilmer. Thank you.
If there's something you can always count on, it's nature. Whenever I feel down or life is especially turbulent, I take some time to get outside and remind myself what's really important. As an artist and creator, I like to take my sketchbook, my journal, and my camera and go for long walks, taking in the magical beauty that is everywhere. Notice the often overlooked things, watch the beautiful creatures living their own lives completely separate from your own, open your ears to the sounds, feel the ground on your feet, and smell the fresh air (hopefully it's a pleasant smell). At the end of the day, nature is the most powerful thing in existence and we must remember that. ❤🌿
I wish. I am also with you while photography trips 🇵🇰
Your videos are better than most nature programs on tv...
So after watching this, my wife, who’s not a photographer but studies nature, immediately said “Let’s watch it again!” That’s indicative of the quality of your videos Morten. As much work as it is to produce, your work is appreciated. Thanks.
Morten in the relatively short period of time we have spent exploring and photographing together, I have learnt so much from your style, approach and genuine attention to detail.
I’m proud to know you and even call you a great friend.
I can not wait to see where this year takes you and maybe just maybe I’ll tag along too
See you soon !
Thank you so much for your very kind words Ricci. I feel truly humbled.
You are a great inspiration yourself and I’m really looking forward to us going on the next adventure together.
Take care Ricci and see you out there…
Thank you so much Morten for this wonderful Film 🙏
That is a beautiful place to live and work, especially in winter.
I love Bjørn 🙈 He is such a lovely dog
I just can’t thank you enough for these amazing videos. I love ‘em all ❤
Wildlife and nature saved my life.
Thank You Morten!
Your films are better than most nature documentaries that comes from TV.
Also after seeing your films I feel need to check my gear and plan next trip to wilderness.
Music that You use is awesome, not that regular free CZcams music s#@*.
I hope we see lot's of Your films this year!
This earth, this air, this sky, this wind are all the flowers of nature, their feeling is the fragrance of life and the origin of life.
Danke!
Thank you so much for your support - I really appreciate:)
Such an incredible film with stunning nature and I absolutely love watching the webcam with all the beautiful birds, badgers, and foxes. This is so uplifting. Thank You
Morten, I can relate to what you were saying. Before I retired, I had a very stressful job and getting out in the woods with my camera was one of the few things that kept me sane and centered. Now that I'm retired, being out in the woods with my camera is just for the joy of being out in the woods. Very little life stress now but I still cherish every moment on the trail with camera in hand. Thank you for sharing this video with us. PS: you have a heater in your hide. That's just not fair. (just joking, wish I had a heater a couple weeks ago when it wan -20F).
Amazingr forest, snow, adventures... and it seemed to see port wine on the table! Happy 2023.
Pure bliss! Thanks Morten for the joy of seeing the wonder and beauty of your little farm and all the wild visitors.
Morten, this was just beautiful…and it gave me the slow-down I didn’t know I needed tonight.thank you for sharing your images, your home, and your family holiday with us. You are a lucky man…
There is a magic about being out in nature. Go out there and be very quiet. You will forget about your self and only think of nature and the sounds of life that it can make. Great job Morten!
Has been waiting for it...Thanks Morten
Great Video Morten and awesome to see some behind these scenes form your adventures over the last few months, looks like a great time with Ricci making some images as well as a wealth of other exciting moments! Awesome stuff, Cheers, Tom
Dear Morten!
I realized that I need your videos to be inspired. Sometimes I don't feel like taking photos for days or even weeks, but when I see your pictures in a video I feel like I have to go out and take photos right away.
I can tell, you are in tune with nature and it shows!
Mr. Miller Your videos are very peaceful, I greet you with interest, I wish you a good evening from Istanbul, special greetings to you
Well Done Morten! you said it best 'The Simple life' it doesn't get any better than that...Thank You!
Morten-if you know the snow is coming-you can support the peak of your blind ahead of time to a hiking pole extended pretty long.
The 2023 calendar is sold out… That could be my best New Year gift…
Wish I could give this many more likes than I am allowed. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Morten... I am a seafarer .. an amateur photographer.. watched this video while I was alone in my ship's cabin ... you made me miss my family... you made me miss my camera.. & you made me feel I should be in Denmark in winters ... This video is much more than just vlogging.. I felt the happiness of each good picture you got..I was there with you... Thank you again for making & sharing this video
When the videos end … I remain with so much joyful, calm, and peaceful mind … love the way you present your passion on wildlife photography and its philosophy.
Your approach to life and photography are truly inspiring. By far my favorite channel I’ve come across on CZcams. Thank you for taking the time to make content that tells such beautiful stories!
Your videos are so calming and bring such peace. I always feel so inspired after viewing your beautiful videos. Thank you Morten.
A dirty dog is a Happy dog 😄. As always thoroughly enjoyed your video.
I love this set up!! Oh my, coffee is my zen time every morning....that and looking out over the water.... I just bought the camo open weave cloth and buying one of those hunting hideouts tomorrow. I will set it out back facing the water where all the birds keep flying by and land on my fence as well. I will get more bird seed etc.....until I can get my upgraded lens in a few weeks...still have to use the 70mm to 300mm Nikkor lens which has done some very clear pics lately. I really enjoy all the suggestions and ideas you provide in such an enjoyable format!
“The greatest value of a picture is when it forces us to notice what we never expected to see.” - John Tukey
Great great job!!!! I always look forward to your next video. Relaxing and inspiring at the same time. Keep flying us around the world
I have so much respect and admiration for you, not just as a wildlife photographer and film-maker, but as a person. Your work and your whole approach to life are inspiring. I wish you a healthy and happy year that is filled with many wildlife adventures.
Thank you so much for always taking us along. You’re such an enormous inspiration. 🙏
Thanks, Morten - that was lovely, and just what I wanted and needed to watch. A very happy New Year to you - I hope that in 2023 you can get out as much as possible and without time restrictions!
Happy New Year, Morten. You're an inspiration to us wildlife and outdoor photographers.

I watch breathlessly. My heart rejoices. Thank you, Morten!
You are such an inspiration, thank you. In the past weeks I was waiting and wondering when a new video will be released. Glad you are back, and wishing you a wonderful new year, stress free if possible 🙂!
I so love your enthusiasm! It’s the way I feel too when I go to crazy lengths to get a photo of wildlife or a great landscape - real joy!!
Thank you so much, Morten, for this wonderful film episode. I watch your nature livestream nearly every day and all day long since a long time on an extra screen on my desk, it´s for me like my real window to the nature, thank you for keeping this all up for free!
Dear Morten, i absolutely love your videos! They bring so much joy and you are such a big inspiration for me and my own wildlife photography. Thank you!
Incredible video Morten. Your videos are always so inspiring to watch. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us!
This was an amazing, relaxing video. I was very much looking forward to it today. Thank you, Morten!
Such a calming and inspirational video, a joy to watch. Your little dog was so excited about the snow, made me laugh. Those little birds with dash of blue, stunning. I hope you took a picture of that stunning tree you sat under to have lunch, it looked amazing. Thank you 🙏
Another fantastic video from morten, just love watching these videos, I’ve been inspired to take up wildlife and nature photography here on the farm i live on in scotland, its been so good to get outside and discover whats out there on the land, keep up the great work morten, your videos are so inspiring, educational and awesome, all the best for 2023

Thank you Morten for all your photographic journey’s,they have helped me too through some rough days.🙏
I've missed you, Morten, and the exquisite, amazing wildlife and natural world you bring us with your photography. All the birds are so beautiful but they are mostly a distant blur to me - to see them in such close focus and colourful detail is a real gift - thank you. And the squirrels! And deer!

A great visual journal of these last few months, seasons in Denmark, you are a busy guy! Always such a pleasure to see a slice of your world, thanks Morten. Happy New Year to you!
I could’ve watched this all day. It had a very zen-like quality to it, thank you!
An absolute inspiration to us all. Honest, grounded and true. Characteristics that should be applauded, as they are so often missing.
watching these videos is just so relaxing! Thank you Morten ,,, so glad you're back!
Love your passion for wildlife and lovely storytelling. You are an inspiration for all those who love nature and it’s various moods. Keep inspiring ❤
I so look forward to your epic videos, they give me inspiration to get out amongst nature and just enjoy my own company (sometimes the dogs too) and take some images of whatever I should come across… All the best for 2023 Morten, looking forward to joining you on your adventures ( through YT off course) 👍🇬🇧
This is such a great episode Morten! Beautiful images as always! Thanks for sharing and inspiring. All the best for this year✌️
There is something precious about being in nature. Especially when it is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing with us Morten - it inspires me to keep being out there and just enjoying. The bonus is any images captured and shared.

Just watching your videos makes me so happy that I forget about my own stressful times even without being in the woods! I know it is a bit late but my best wishes for 2023! Looking forward to you documenting your year, your beautiful pictures and your adventures!

I look forward to every video that you release. Each video is so relaxing and I learn something in each one. Thank you for being such an amazing human who puts nature and conservation first- you are the photographer I most look up to!
This video is amazing I wouldn't even call it a video it's just movie/ docu quality!!! Thanks for sharing these moments with us!!
This video relaxed, inspired and motivated me in stressful times. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these video’s. You are an extraordinary human, and I look up to you.
Very happy to see a video from you. You've had a busy 2022, it was very nice to see a little bit of your holiday with your family and friends, those moments are priceless, great memories for all. Wishing you a late Happy New Year Morten. All the best for 2023.
Hi Morten, I wasn't on your channel for a while, so it was a big surprise to return and find out that you just made this amazing new video! It's great and has a so much needed calming and consoling radiance. Keep it up!
I so enjoyed watching it. Nature is always an inspiration. A little snow this morning, sun afterwards and colours of lichens were exploding. Small things, but how beautiful. First hazel blossoms stretching, already tiny green leaves on an elder bush. Frosty now, we'll see what wonders the morning light might bring.
This was so AWESOME. I have always loved your videos and travels. It's what inspired me to get out there farther than I had been before with my landscape/wildlife photography. I haven't watched one of your videos in a while due to life commitments. It was like coming home again. Looks like you had a great Christmas.
Thank you for sharing your work and your story. Your deep love of nature comes through on all of your photos and your videos. I am enjoying them so much and feeling inspired to get out shooting after watching them. Thank you for that.
you're living a dream, so happy for you
you brought me to wildlife photography, and i couldn't be more grateful for it, thank you!
So much joy you share with us Morten,for that we thank you.
Thank you Morten, for this lovely film. The landscapes and wildlife are beautiful!
