Photographing wild bison - Poland | PART 1

- čas přidán 11. 03. 2020
- I am spending 10 days in the Bialowieza forest in Poland and it is going to be all about wildlife photography. The main reason to come here is to photograph the wild bison but also to do some landscape photography - and of course to spend some amazing days in the wilderness with my good friend Simon. Stay tuned for part 2:)

Poland is very beautiful country, definitely worth to see
Hey Morten, my name is Wiktor I am 16 years old I have been photographing nature since 2012 and I got my first camera at the age of 14. I am from Poland so I am really happy that you came to my homeland because you are a great inspiration for me I hope you liked both nature and people & cuisine
Btw in Poland we call bison in America we call bison and in Poland we call it "żubr"
Bison is the English word for it. Not only used in America.
@@MDCCLXXVI1990 now I know it
Nice to see a young man go into nature to make photographs. And, yes, "bison" is an old European word. From Latin/French descent. The Europeans who went to America and saw a bovine looking like the one from Europe, gave it their old European name. In some Northern European languages/countries, the European bison is called wisent. You can easily see the relation between these two words.
In America we commonly refer to bison as buffalo and use both words interchangeably. I did not know Poland had Bison.
Awesome to hear. I REALLY LOVE being in Poland and I'm already looking forward to coming back. I wish you all the best luck and awesome light 👍👍

It certainly does look like Simon is ready haha!!!
Pozdrawiam z Polski !! wow od dawna Cię oglądam i cieszę się, że tu jesteś :) Greetings from Poland !! wow I've been watching you for a long time and I'm glad you're here :)
Only just found this, those Birch trees are beautiful, an understatement really and the gorgeous music. What a lovely video. I want to go right back to the beginning.
And again great video! Greetings from Katowice Poland 🇵🇱
Simply the only photographer I follow and watch. You are inspiring and the quality content that you put up is incredible. You kinda take us with you on the journey every single time. I'm an amateur photographer but watching your videos makes you feel that you can accomplish many things whether pro or for fun.
Thank you for all the amazing work and keep shooting 🙏
Your videos are always so calming, perfect to sit back & relax in the evening with some tea & sandwhiches. Can't wait for more parts of this journey!
I instinctively held my breath while you guys sneaked through the woods and tried to be as quiet as possible. That’s how thrilling your videos are for me. 😅 love your content mate, you’re by far my most favourite wildlife photographer and I try to learn as much as I can through you. 😊🙏🏼
Thank you so much Lorenz👍👍👍
The ones with the backlight and orange mood are awesome. 👌👌
Thanks a lot for you compliment:)
So Beautiful video
I am always waiting for your new video. Your videos are always so inspirational for me, thanks a lot for sharing it.
Great video! :)
The bison were amazing, they are powerful and calm at the same time and yes, it is really something how quiet such large animals can be. Here in northern Ontario the black bear and moose may have taken stealth lessons! I especially liked the photos of the birch, they stand like sentinels of the forest.
-first!- I've been waiting for this! I had a tough day today, now i can relax with some awesome footage of nature. Tnx so much for sharing!
Hope you enjoyed your stay in Poland Morten! Great photos
Beautiful photos, greeting from Poland ;)
"Story Telling is Contagious" Morten thank you for sharing your photo's and video's. We all look forward to many episodes to come.
Those soundtracks in your video is so relaxing...
Sir ,You are Such a great inspiration ..😍🥰❣🖤❣❣Great video
Thank you so much, Your videos are so calming, especially after coming home after a long day of work.
Another great video. Love the fact that you really show
and tell how difficult it is to be “silent” while walking in the forest.
Very nicely done, Thank you for letting us come along for your trip to Bialowieza forest,this is a very cool place.
Amazing like always Morten!
Really enjoy your video. Listening the amazing sound from the nature and Staring at the beautiful wildlife should be the best thing in the world! thank you
Beautiful shots of the bison, getting shots like that must make the whole day worthwhile.
The fact that his videos are more about the feel of photography make them really enjoyable and calming😊😊
The Shutterbug definitely that’s what I enjoy about them too
Thanks again Morten for taking us along on your journey. Poland looks like a beautiful country. You make me feel like I am right along side of you with my camera in my hands. Thanks to Simon also! Looking forward to part 2....
Love two backlit photos at the end. Białowieża is beautiful next time come and see Bieszczady (and photograph lynx).
this is probably my favorite movie❤ welcome to Poland and have a nice stay and of course the best photos I wish👋👍👍😉
I morten. Happy to se another video. Big respect from México.
What an amazing video... just loved it... The buffalo is one of my favorite animals and had a small herd when living in Texas. Now living in Ukraine and didn't know there are buffaloes here! Such great news! Thanks for being such a great inspiration! I am about to buy my first large prime lens! )))
Exactly what I needed today, thank you Morten & Simon! 💕👍🌿🌿
Fantastic, love these and some great unique images.. also loved "time to get some cold beer and coffee" - that is EXACTLY what I always look forward to as well. Stay safe in these challenging times.
Great Video yet again Morten, I loved every second of it!
I must say that every video your uploading is getting better and better I’m so zoned in on all your videos and how there captured, STUNNING PHOTOS!!! Can’t wait for the summer for the lovely warm early walks to capture the beauty of nature.
It is so nice to hear - I am definitely looking forward to the spring and summer too.
Great footage yet again Morten, you make me feel like I am there with you. Keep up the great footage and images, and may you and Simon have good light always.

I love your videos, they really accentuate the beauty of the great outdoors
Hi Morten, great to see you visited Poland and Białowieża. I hope you enjoyed your stay. We are very proud here of our bisons (or "żubr" as we call them). 100 years ago, after World War I, they were at the brink of extinction, as there was only 50 of them left in the whole world, but polish project of rebuilding european bison population in Białowieża was very successful, and their number is more than 5000 currently (being redistributed back to other countries, too)
Wonderful as always. 🙏🏼🤩👍🏼
You're always creative.
I wish you luck and success.
Back plan music is very relaxer 😴😴😴😴
Great as usual!!
Wow! One more time, such a beautiful video!
wow, magnific.
Wow, looking forward to watching this later! Watched a bit but I shall enjoy settling down with a coffee and watch it properly:-) 😁👍
Amazing photos. Enjoyed the vlog very much, thank you!

Wonderful video Morten, cracking images at the end!!
Wow, some nice photos Morten
Beautiful work. Another great video. All inspiring 👍

Love it Morten, thank you for showing me that I don't have to fly to get some nice photos... though sometimes it's faster to get to Africa than to drive to East part of Poland :D
Great, thanks !!!
Lol, see, I remember Simon from you doing your Camera equipment video- and trying to finish before Simon walked in! But- then he made a cameo of course. 😉 LOVE Bison- we have great American Bison here in Kansas.
Fantastic video, as always, though! You always get me with the music and photo combination at the end of your videos. If you ever make it out to the states, give me a PM, Kansas City BBQ and Beer on me! Then we can run around the Midwest- or even head to Yellowstone. 😉
Amazing photos! I hope that you liked Poland ;)
My friend your pictures are amazing thank you for sharing them.
Great, nice fruitful stay!
This was awesome!
Awesome photos and a great adventure Morten! Thanks brother 🇨🇦
Beer and coffee = best combo! As always, great video - thanks!
