Thank you so much for writing Shaikh, I really appreciate:) Haha - Yes always forget to behave when I get so exited about nature:)

It's been 6 years 6 years I've been watching this. Time flies

there are photographs that we take with the heart and no one will ever see

honestly found it so funny when the fox started running haha

It's great to see how someone who puts effort into making his passion / love a real thing makes him happy instead of someone buying something to pretend happiness, he went out there and took the cool photos resulting in cool feeling.

Holy something! Beautifully put together. Thanks for taking us along.

This video is amazing! Thx for taking us with you on that special moment with the fox.

What a fascinating episode. You are a master story teller and how lucky we are to experience all this with you.

I'm just sitting here with a smile watching your adventure. Thanks for sharing it. I know it's not about the gear, but I hear that the Sony A9 lets you take pictures in complete silence. It sounds like quite an advantage in the wild. Have you never considered that? Enough taking about gear. I will find my 18-250 and go enjoy the nature and if I'm lucky get a memory on the card. You make me proud to be danish Morten!

I got to tell you, I really appreciate all of your movies, and can relate to the feeling you talk about when walking in the woods, when you suddenly unexpected see an animal in there native environment. You manage to mediate the feeling really well in your films. Thanks!

Thank you, Morten.

I wish KZread would allow me to click the Like button every time I re-watch any of your videos. So inspirational!

When you got shot of the fox, I had the goosebumps on my body. It was perfect! One day I will visit you in Denmark. ;)

I love this, this was awesome, I also love photographing wildlife in the UK. I only upload videos on my channel of wildlife which are extremely rare. my recent upload was of a golden eagle I saw in Hinckley, Leicestershire

Wonderful video!!! Congratulations Morten

Please never stop making such peaceful videos. Your work is soo precious.. 🙏🏼

This reminded me of my attempts to photograph sika deer. I love your videos btw. you can really feel how appreciative you are of nature and doing the things you love 😊

Great video, Morten! Excellent story telling and - wow - great light on that day! Well done.

Really great photo of that fox darting across the trail. Excellent videos as well - thank you for sharing.

A great film it showed me ways to improve my films and i like the music too very atmospheric 👍

this is so cool, I'm a loyal audience for this channel

Love your videos Morten. You got me into nature photography 3-4 years ago and the excitement of capturing a glimpse into their world is a genuine feeling shared. ❤

I'm binge watching your channel, just so you know. And you deserve many more subscribers! I appreciate above all your passion, your childlike wonder and your respect for all Nature. You're one of the good ones, man. Keep up the good work!

Love your videos Morten. Really like the way you convey the atmosphere of stalking wildlife and your emotion when you get something you love - I was on the edge of my seat whilst watching. In your Facebook post you mention how you like further suggestions, etc.... well, my suggestion is this - I would post a video like this once a week, or so. They should be just like this once, so it doesn't have to be a super polished, hyper edited video - it just needs to show what it's REALLY like to be out there, photographing the life of wild animals. And I would say that this video does it perfectly. A key element is you, your emotion and your commentary - the more of YOU you put into the video, the better. When I watched this video, I really felt what it was like to be out there with you, and you bring your wildlife and your personalty to my living room. And I think it's great and will become essential viewing for other like minded people.

I chose this video to share on social media for your 50K subscribers promotion - It is my favorite example from your channel of the wonders of exploring, finding unique moments and appreciating the beauty of nature in all its forms. I'm also a fan of the style you use of slowing down and taking in each moment in an age of fast cuts and "no more than 90 seconds of video" - This shows us how a longer video that takes it's time can be far more effective and enjoyable than quick clips.

Beautifully,thank you!

Great video, Morten! Knowing how difficult it is to approach the animals in the field I must admire you for being also able to film yoursef during this! Btw, i have the same masking outfit :)

Sometimes you can use the noise of your shutter to your advantage. If a Fox or Deer is crossing open ground, one click can make it stop and look up giving you time to take a better picture. I use my camera on silent mode and click my finger to get their attention, then I can often take a number of pictures without alarming them and they usually move on without even knowing I was there.

What can I say but WOW...what an excellent video. I was so impressed I had to sub you, and cannot wait for more of your vids and to watch your other videos. Definitly one of the very best wildlife photography videos I have seen on KZread by far. As an avid wildlife photographer/outdoorsman myself, I could really convey the passion and the love of wildlife and nature that you have.......and that passion certainly shows in the videos. Your excitement and being lost for words when that Fox appeared reminded me of myself. Respect to you my friend! Love the forest you have, and I have the same camouflage suit also. Beautiful country you live in. I have a forest next to me, and I love to go shooting (with the camera) my local Muntjac deer. I tend to set up a small hide and await for them to show themselves, if they do that is. As you know, if they smell, hear or see you...they are off like a shot. But when you get a shot, then it makes it so much more rewarding. Love your Fox image, and your fallow images too. Always nice to get them acting natural as can be. Anyways, I have rambled on too much. But your video was a fantastic watch, loved it. You also have a great knack for the commentary too.....keep them coming please! ATB :-)

Don't you have a silent mode to avoid the shutter noise ? (like the GH4 has) And a dumb question, why not using the GH4 for animal photography as well ? Problem of lens, sensor, ... ? Thanks for this amazing video, loved it !

just take your camera, dress up in dark colours (most animals see in black and white but wearing darks colours helps with blending with bushes etc) and go outside to take photos - it takes a lot of time and patience so be ready for long hours of nothing happening ;) you can buy masking net to help you with hiding and it is way cheaper then special clothes that Morten wears (of course it is not as comfortable, but for beginning it is very good option) ;)

Take me with you! This is good to my soul. One day I’ll be able to get own gear like that... someday... Thank you for aspiring me my dear friend.

Hi Morten. I live in England & went to a place called Richmond Park on the outskirts of London which is a renowned place to take photos of deer, but it felt like cheating because they are really used to humans being around so they gave you more time to get the shot. I came home & although loved the shots I’d been able to get, didn’t appreciate it as much as when you have to go out & use your stalking abilities to get the shot. I can see why you appreciated the fox shot so much, but would you have appreciated it as much if you had taken the same shot in a zoo or wildlife park or any other controlled environment?..Have just subscribed so keep posting videos like this. Mark.

@MortenHilmer

6 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much mark for sharing your thoughts. Yes I totally agree with you. There is just something wrong when Nature and Controlled is said in the same sentence:) We also have Dyreparken - a controlled area in Denmark, were you can get very close to the deer and most great photos of red deer in Denmark are made there. You know these brilliant shots with a red deer bellowing in the sunset surrounded by fog:) I much prefer just being in the wild forest even though I rarely get such great photos. But then again. It is all about having a good time in nature - not about how challenging it is to get the photo. For me to be honest, it is not so much about the final photograph. More about the nice feeling of being surrounded by nature and the unique experienced I get out there. So maybe we could say that one does not exclude the other. Going to Richmond Park can still give an awesome experience and also works as a good place to practice. I often need to practice myself so I dont miss when it really matters. Once again I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts. All the best from Denmark:)
