HOW TO FIND WILDLIFE to photograph | field craft ep1

- čas přidán 4. 04. 2020
- In this first episode of Field Craft for nature photographers, I am going to share some tips on how to find wildlife to photograph - in this case the foxes.
It is beginning of April, and I am in the forest to see if I am so lucky to have an active fox den in my backyard.
In this video I am going to talk about animal tracks, how to find out, if a den is used or not and how to see the difference if it is a badger or a fox, who is living in the den.
I am also showing how you can see the difference between a track from a fox and from a dog.
I hope you like this new series.

Hi everyone - this is my first episode in the new series Field Craft for nature photographers. I really hope this series can inspire some of you and I would love to hear, what you think about making such a series. Is it useful at all? Is it way too long with all my talking? And if you like it, what would you like to see in the next episodes?
Take care and see you out there..
yeah it's very useful! I've actually been waiting for something like this to come out, thanks Morten😁and like for every other video from you, the longer the better👍🏼
Haven't watched it yet but it is probably very useful and not long enough.
I like your videos
Great videos I really enjoy watching! Especially now when staying at home. Thank you for this great content and source of inspiration :)
Perfect video! I just came around a Fox Nest yesterday and I was trying to figure out a safe way to know if it is used or not without bothering them. Thanks!
Please continue 'How to' series.
Thanks for posting this comment. He noticed it and hearted your image
Hi Morton ... thanks for all your sharings. I have had the opportunity to photograph a family of foxes... what I learned about them is ....I sat for hours around their den with no intentions just observing their patterns of life. Overtime they became so used of me, they became closer to me. The trust factor was deffinatly in my favour. I saw the cubs going all out together, learning how to hunt. Overtime I wittnessed them venturing out on their own...the one young male was so proud of himself because he was back to the den first ..with a bird. The expression on his face was priceless. He was so proud of himself. Some of my friends thought I was crazy sitting for hours each evening but I was completely at peace...what a remarkable feeling. Love all your videos ,,,, keep shooting on!.
Great story. Thank you for sharing!
I don't know, how You do it... But, every single video from You is like a relaxation for me. I love the atmosphere, Your joy, gentle background music. THANK YOU :)
Just have to say thank you for your amazing Videos. I have been doing photography since the mid 90's even had my own dark room before digital started to become a accessible thing. My 12 Y/O daughter and I have been watching and just finished all of your videos together while on social distancing and it has gotten her really into doing more nature photography with me. We have taken multiple mini trips to find birds at the local refuge or just in the hills behind our house. Thank you for making your content so accessible and beautiful, not just focused on the technical but also the feeling that has her at least currently hooked.
Dear Morten, You are a life saver. After a week of working from home plus curfews, a 36 minute video is a real tonic. Thank you.
“The good stuff in life”.... what is it? Coffee of course. It’s the simple things isn’t it. Love this
Hai Mr.morten I have been traveling with you from srilanka. i dont know how to appreciate you. iam getting amazing feel when i watching your videos thank you so much
Hi Morten! It´s always a pleasure to watch your videos...!
Thank you Morten, really an inspireing video. You are always welcome to post more of this stuff :)
I really enjoy the birds and the guitar and just wildlife/tree/greenery shots. Incredibly relaxing. I could just head right off to sleep.
This is so much better than "Vilde vidunderlige Danmark" You channel is for real and no tame animals and no setups. This is what i like, keep it up Morten
I always watch your videos with great pleasure. Nature is an inexhaustible source of energy and inspiration. Thank you.
I love your efforts Morten, especially with the English language, and your training of others with your photography and knowledge of wildlife. You do very well. It’s very appreciated. Thank you!
In a challenging time, your videos keep me comforted and sane.
i teach others how to these things and i find the hardest thing is getting them to slow down and actually see not just look. i have had some walk within a meter of a den, deer rub ect. and never see it. also they never ever be quiet. great video like always keep it up.
i'm a recent fan from Belgium. Thanks Morten for your simplicity, you tell us a story.
I just love your videos. Thanks so much for sharing them with us. Your love of nature and what you are doing is great to see. Your excitement is addictive. Thanks so much. God bless.
Hey Morten! Superb video as usual! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge! I would definitely look forward to seeing more videos like this!
Love the focus on field craft while you are working. Keep up the great work.
I love hearing the birds 🐦 wicked enchanting.
Amazing, as always! What can be better then drinking tea and walking the forest with Morten!.. Maybe the real morning forest walk ) Thanks a lot!
Very useful Morten. Looking forward to see what your cam trap can record in the forest. 👍
I feel so relaxed after watching your videos!
Another great video Morten, always such a pleasure to sit with a coffee and watch your wildlife adventures. Had to laugh when I saw your gaffa taped down jacket repair - I do exactly the same with mine when I get a tear! Keep up the fabulous work it's inspiring.
Always when I finish watching your video, I would like to put down my cup of coffee, or maybe have one more sip and then grab my backpack, camera and head out straight into woods or nature in general and try to find something I can take a picture of. Thank you Morten for another great video. Best regards from Iceland.
Great video Morten, no Florida sunshine were you are real conditions to work with real field craft not just pulling up at a wildlife theme park.
the valley looks very cold, good video !!
Absolutely love this! Thank you, Morten! I'm a huge fan!
Thank you Morten for your wonderful video's.
A video on reasearching an area you haven't been to, also finding locations of deer would be great. many thanks.
Nice! Great to have some more How To video’s!
The awesome sounds of the morning creatures. The host's humility in front of these creatures. The gentle and nature-sensitive conversation. The captured actions. Everything about this video is awesome. Thank you Morten for bringing the beautiful outside into our home during this terrible pandemic.
For someone like me who is trying to learn wildlife photography, it's really good to learn how you respect wild animals and their space. That's how every human being should behave. Respect nature and wildlife. All the very best to all your future photography endeavors.
Hi Morten. More of this type of video please. Really informative & useful especially at this time of year. Mark 🏴
Fantastic video Morten. Thank you !!

Thank you Morten, very interesting and insightful. Can’t wait for the next video.

Excelent advisements, cool
Morten, thank you so much for that, it was so educational. Please make more of these types of videos! Also, the drone shot of you walking through the field was beautiful!

This is the first video I watched of your series and I am hooked. Can't wait to look at all your videos and see your new ones! Thanks!
I love this field craft series. Keep them coming. Clearly I need to order a book on animal tracks.
Most the people are losing interest in nature photography. Most of the people will overlook it.
I just started I am not a professional I am student who find his new hobby in nature photography
I started from my garden and I know I will surely carry it out. Your are my inspiration sir thanks a lot sir
Now you're on the right track. I'm looking forward to more episodes in this series.
I am from a remote village named Gholwad in India... From young age I fell in love with Wildlife... I started doing wildlife Photography as a hobby... But soon it turned into an obsession... Your Videos have guided me alot... What I love about your videos are that aside from taking us to their world you also show the harshness of Wildlife Photography as well... You teach us to respect wildlife... You teach us not to invade in the space of the animals... You never tell or encourage people to venture dangerously close to animals putting stress on them... You show what we wildlife photographers have to go through to get that perfect shot.... Thanks for All your videos... You have been an massive inspiration for someone like me because who is self taught... I wish someday I can work alongside you and also host you in my village someday....
I enjoyed your video looking forward to seeing what you get on your game camera.
love your work!! keep it coming honestly so helpfulll!!!
Best channel Morten, thank you from Czech Republic.
Just love this serie..! Always useful to see what other wildlife photographers are doing to find their subjects. Thank you for your generosity..!
I like this fieldcraft video so much. Cant wait for another my friend!
I am always learning from your video. So thank you.
Love this stuff
Fieldcraft.......i love it! much gratitude............
Sharing how to find wildlife to photograph very useful!👍
Finally got a chance to view this first Field Craft Episode which I really enjoyed. I spend time hiking in national forests and parks in the US and would like to know more about how to see signs of wildlife such as marks on trees, stream banks, trails, etc. Also how to locate nests of various birds. Thank you so much.
Perfect! Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with us.
The longer the better! 😁
I love authentic people
More please this is brilliant stuff.
Really great video Morten! Please continue this series because I learned a lot and you really inspire me to go out and photograph!
Great Morten! I really love this kind of video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. I can’t wait for the next episode! See you
Thanks so much, so needed a Morten fix.
I'd love to see more Field Craft videos, thanks Morten
Love your work, Rick from Australia
Hi Morten. This has to be one of your best videos so far. Can’t wait for the next one.
Great idea Morten thanks !, I take with me a small notebook with the footprints of the animals on the area because I can remember them, too bad memory.
I have learnt as well that be quite and just sit down on a spot and wait in silent help a lot, animals start to show up really soon if you choose the right place.
All the best and stay safe.
I love your work morten
Amazing, Thank you for sharing with us. 😊
Hi Morten! I have been following your wonderful videos for some years because their message corresponds to my way of looking and photographing nature. I look forward to this new series.
Great informative video Morton. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this episode. This is very cool, in tracking so many types, I have fun finding out what I have been tracking. I do like this episode keep them coming.
OMG YES, FINALY the lesson i needed from the master :D
This was great Morten!
amazing! such a chill feeling while watching this 😀
I think you have the nicest isolation area to stay away from the virus I have seen so far.
When I go shooting wildlife, I read up on the animal I want to capture to understand its behaviour a bit more. It has helped me a lot to find and getting the shot I want.
Thanks for the useful tips and the motivation for going out and take pictures. Keep up the good work.
Morten, I really enjoy your adventures. Combination of two of my favorite hobbies: travel and photography. Keep the videos coming. I watch every one.
Amazing video. Finally someone is talking about tracks and the importance to be able to track wildlife. I do it all the time, especially the Eurasian lynx I track through the whole winter here in Northern Norway. Keep up the good work.
I love your new series! I just started to go out more in the wild to photograph because of the quarantine. And these tips saved my life! Thank you!
Thank you for your respect for the wildlife. It is the very best thing about your wonderful videos. I only know two photographers who talk so much about this, and they always get the most wonderful photos . . . and leave the wildlife to the important work they're doing. I am raising my cup of coffee to you! :)
Good to see you getting out and creating amidst all of the chaos going on in the world. I have been doing the same. Again I say that your infectious enthusiasm inspires us to get outside, even in the darkest times, nature carries on and new life begins. Capture it and share.
