  • Episode 1: • Using my car as a Phot...
    I am in Scotland to do wildlife photography and landscape photography together with Nikon and a film crew from Beyond Content. The purpose of this trip is to make some content for the Nikon Europe CZcams channel and to try out the new Nikon Z 400mm for wildlife photography.
    For the first time I am publishing a video on my channel that is not filmed and edited by myself - this video is made by the passionated and very friendly crew from Beyond Content.
    In the video I am photographing with Ricci who is a Nikon School Teacher.

    ✦ ABOUT THIS VIDEO
    I am in Scotland to meet up with Nikon and the Landrover team. We are going to photograph wildlife with some new equipment and there will be a film crew covering the 5 days.
    I went to Scotland 6 days in advance to visit the Cairngorms to try my luck with the mountain hares but I did not see any.
    I met up with my friend Joanna and we used her campervan as a basecamp for 3 days.
    Together with her, I spent a few days in Glen Etive trying to photograph the Stags. They were very skittish though so I had to use my car as a photo blind.
    After saying goodbye to Joanna I headed to another location to meet up with Ricci from Nikon School, Beyond Content and a Nikon PR representative.
    Together we spent five days photographing landscapes, wildlife and trying out the new Nikon Z 400mm f/2,8.
    I did some interview for the Nikon CZcams Channel and for Nikon Scool.
    ✦ WHO I AM.
    My name is Morten Hilmer and I am a professional nature and wildlife photographer.
    I am a Nikon Ambassador and I work as an ILCP photographer.
    Nature conservation is very close to my heart.
    I have served in the Danish military special unit, the Sirius Patrol, for two years and that has given me the skills and confidence to operate alone in the arctic regions.
    See you out there !
    All the best
    Morten Hilmer

    A fresh breath to your channel but I kind of like more the videos where you film everything yourself (I know it's a lot of work). However, I wouldn't mind more collaborations like this. Thanks for sharing!

      agreed, i prefer Morten's gentle editing much more - this looks too "instagrammy"...

    • @Sebas51137
      @Sebas51137 Před 2 lety +6

      Yeah, color grade looks over saturated and too blue. I also prefer Morten’s usual look to the video. Also, there’s a bit too much slomo in this video for my tast. But other than that, I enjoyed the video

    • @TheBetonbob
      @TheBetonbob Před 2 lety +4

      Agreed, i like the original Morten Style much more. The slowmotion and the subtile showing of trademarks and Logos is a bit too much like a comercial. Especially the scene with those many Landrovers is not Morten Style.
      Just my opinion....

    That was a very interesting video, Morten! Definitely slightly different than the usual kind of films that you got us used to seeing here but i really did enjoy watching 😊I am extremely happy that you're getting the recognition from the right brands and right people that you deserve so much!
    I am also really looking forward to watching the new videos from your local forest in Denmark, from your cozy farm. Videos like the one when you photographed cranes ("wildlife photography when it's best") or badgers are just the classics! Thank you for inspiring us with each new video! ❤

I'm going to check out his channel. Thanks for that great tip. So sorry about your laptop. Hopefully you'll be able to retrieve you data. Keep us posted. And lastly, it's funny. I was wondering where your thermos of coffee was when you pulled out the burner and started talking about making a cuppa.... Thank you, Morten. 🤗

Its a good video, just amazing film on the animals, majestic. and its nice to have a sliding camera capturing you sometimes when you have a camera crew. good job.
