Amazing Bird Photography in the footsteps of BBC and Nat Geo - 2 weeks in Norway
I spent 2 weeks in Norway doing some amazing bird photography and what started out as a solo project ended up with a new friendship.
Watch part 2: The Impossible Shot: • The Impossible Shot - ...
This time I am in Norway to visit Jostein Hellevik - also known as Fotobonden from the Norwegian television show. He is an expert in attracting wildlife, and film companies like BBC and National Geographic and photographers from around the world are coming to photograph from his photo blinds.
Filming, photographing, planning and going on trips together. A new friendship has started.
I hope you will enjoy joining us on this 2-week adventure in the nature of Norway.
For more info about Jostein´s photo blinds plus booking:

Enjoy watching
See you out there...

that's a really good advice. Hustle is there in every work you wish to do. And I am practicing these things since three years and I really find the inner peace and solitude in the middle of the woodland. And I am aware that making a living out of art is really hard these days. And there is no guarantee of me reaching where I want to. But still, I wanna walk the path. By the way thanks for the chat dear.

Wow, I thought the same.
I feel truly humbled when reading through all these beautiful, encouraging and just amazingly heartwarming comments. Everyone of you should know that even though I do not answer all of them I am reading every single one and I appreciate them so much. WHO KILLED THE PIGEONS? We still don't know but I will definitely follow up in the next episode from Norway - and yes if the circumstances allows, I am planning to make more videos in this series. PLEASE BE AWARE If you are feeding the birds in your garden or elsewhere. Do not use bread as we do in this video. Bread is "empty" calories for the birds and do not provide enough fat/nutritions for the birds to survive the winter. If the birds get a lot of bread, it will take up place for the "real food" - just as if we were only eating candy. On this location there are thousands of hectares of untouched forest and plenty of food in nature. The bread we give to the birds is only a fraction of what they eat during a day, and therefore it should be seed as a snack rather than a meal. WHAT GEAR DO I USE IN THE VIDEO? Sorry for not mentioning the gear I am using in the video. I know many are curious about what tripod, tripod head, lens etc. I think there are videos enough on KZread focussing on gear and tech and even though I am a Nikon Ambassador and that I every so often make a gear video, I do not feel my purpose on this platform is to encourage you to spend your money on new equipment . I would much rather inspire you to get out in nature and get some unforgettable moments with the gear you already have. I am looking so much forward to sharing my future adventures with you. See you out there... All the best Morten

I watched a Hollywood film last night and regretted it instantly. Several hundred people in the credits, cost a hundred million to make and it failed miserably like most films. Then I watched this. It's incredibly impressive on every level, and I can't wait until the net episode. The entire production has only two people in the credits?! Simply astounding! Bravo ❤🙏🌞🙌🔥

Definitly one of your best videos Morten ! Thanks so much for all the kindness and simplicity you put in your work. Thanks to you, I started going quite often to the forest for wildlife photography. And I won't stop ! You're really inspiring and I think you make all of us realise that we better run away from big cities et get closer to the nature and its beauty. Thank you so much.
You have a way of expressing yourself clearly with your videos and photography. Every single moment was genuinely enjoyable and heartwarming. thank you morten for giving us such a wonderful glimpse into your photography experiences. I loved the story telling, your videography is getting soooo much better, and most importantly you are happy and enjoying what you are doing. you inspire us all everyday. sending you love from texas! take care of yourself.
My favorite, slow paced wildlife channel on KZread! BBC or NatGeo have nothing on your production and story telling. Seriously, the imagery, music and soundscape, and how you weave these trips in to an interesting story makes me jealous every time! I look forward to more winter content as always. Thanks for the amazing work you put out. Very inspiring!

No one will see my comment 7 months after uploading the video, but this video makes me cry a little, especially at the views after ''plane crash" moment ... The beauty of this world, this nature and its inhabitants is as beautiful as it can be. I am an ecology student and being a naturalist is more than just a lifestyle, so you are my heroes. I am so thankful for people like you who do this work and share it with others. I agree with the other guys who tells that such trips are better than the official channels.

Whenever I feel a lack of inspiration, you always seem to come out with a new video that makes me even more motivated to photograph and record wildlife! Thank you so much for this amazing video Morten.
Morten, your storytelling, your photography and connection to nature is simply outstanding. And the connection to your audience is so strong - as you can see in all the comments, your work is resonating so deeply with many, many people. Thank you, Morton, for sharing this with us, your art makes us happy.
This is truly remarkable and inspiring. Great narrative, storytelling and footage. Great experience from Jostein...amazing human being.

From the music to the images, everything has an incredible harmony. Watching these videos gives us a peace that cannot be described. Thank you for sharing so much with us and for giving us these beautiful images
I loved everything about this. It's literally my dream to live in a place like this and spend my days photographing nature and wildlife. Jostein is a character for sure, it would be an experience to photograph this location. Beautiful storytelling, and the bird photography was an absolute gem!
Wow Morten, you talk about the BBC and Nat Geo in such high esteem but your story telling and video work is up there man, how they are not banging on your door to work for them I do not know (On a purely selfish note don't work for them as we will miss your YT content ).

My ABSOLUTE favourite wildlife photographer. Thank you once again for an amazing way to spend an hour with my little girl. You rock Morten!! Keep up the phenomenal work!
Morton, this video is an extraordinary piece of work, in every respect. It is as good a nature and/or photography story as I’ve ever seen. You are to be commended. Thank you so much.
I am so taken aback by your documentary style. It is so great to see someone so passionate about their craft.
i watched everything without even switching tabs, the storytelling and the pictures, the mood, the scene, everything is just awesome.
One of, if not the, best videos I've seen on KZread. I stumbled upon this when looking for wildlife photography tutorials, and instead came across this breath-taking film of beautiful nature in an incredible setting. It is lovely to see the enthusiasm and respect you both have, and how such a way of life has been sustainable in the 21st century. Thank you for the ideal escapism. (Would love to know who was picking off the pigeons though!).
52 minutes goes to fast when watching quality content like this. Inspiring as always. Thank you Mårten for an epic video.
I loved this so much. Wish I was there. What a kind man to welcome you and make you feel so comfortable in his life. Great man

Absolutely stunning! The BBC and Nat Geo would be lucky to have you, your content is always exceptional. I look forward to your videos the most and cannot wait for the notification of a new one from you. Because of you I now have a little bird hide in my garden which gives me so much happiness, you are truly inspirational.

this is not just an exploration but as an addition to knowledge about nature ... I'm proud of this channel ❤️❤️👍
Stunning videography morton, I think you should contact the BBC to ask them if they'd be interested in commissioning a video from you. I think they probably would pay for something similar to this. They recently had a series on primetime TV self filmed by a canal boat enthusiast and the video and production work wasn't a patch on this. I think this would go down well on mainstream UK TV.
What an ethereal experience you have brought to us! Thank you so much Morten for your wonderful storytelling and your ability to share peace with your viewers; I always tell people that nature heals us and these scenes have solidified that belief further. I am in awe of the variety and beauty within Norway, and you have validated my goal to visit one day. The combination of a wide, eagle-eye view of the Norwegian scenery laced with your conversational inputs made for an exceptionally well crafted viewing experience. Thank you again, you have definitely earned a new subscriber for life! Best of luck in all your future endeavors, and hopefully I can one day start a similar journey of exploring nature.
Just WOW... 52 mins gone by in a blink... Watching this, me and my wife enjoyed it more than when we watched frozen planet from BBC... I think sometimes we as viewers forget how much time and EFFORT goes into making something like this... And especially when you are a one-man team...

Another thing is as you pointed out this video is done very well which may attract lots of views. Many casuals will see supposed wildlife authority in Morten (which he's not, he's just a photographer) and then think it's ok to feed bread or other products meant for human consumption. Other part of Morten's vierws are wildlife photographers like myself who may then try tu lure birds into open areas with food. Even if it's not harmful for them, it may act as a trap for predators because it will not be secured properly as bird feeders are. Lastly I have to say that I don't speak their language and I still keep a hanging on to the slim chance that they called it "bread" because they didn't know better words for it and it is in fact something safe for birds to eat.

@@franciszekbera7784 you have some very valid points that are totally understandable. I really didn't think that I would read something like this, because your first comment was so short and not presented with much background. If this would have been your initial comment, I would have agreed in large parts, if not all of it. Unfortunately the amount of people feeding bread to all kinds of birds is still really high and although Morten has a big audience it isn't as large as to change much about the problem. Hopefully he will get there with millions of followers!
