I am taking time to reflect.
I have been signing calendars for several days now and I really needed to get a bit out of the office.
Nowhere is better for relaxing than the forest so I decided to take a short trip with my camera and a flask of coffee to do some landscape photography.
I just had Nigel Danson here for some days to do wildlife photography and actually I got really inspired to do a bit more landscape photography, which I haven’t done so much lately.

Wonderful landscape photos! When I read "take a break" I was worried that you wouldn't be posting videos for awhile. Glad I was wrong! So nice to settle down and watch anything you post! Thank you for sharing and God bless!
Good start of the day with Mosten's video and a cup of coffee. Cheers from Hungary.
You are probably the only one person with zero haters man you are awesome ❤💯😘

same thing here... happy to see Morten is still active
I have that problem when I go to Brazil to visit my wife’s family. The area is in the mountains and the landscape is amazing. I have a tough time with the composition because the beauty is 360 degrees.
Morten, you and I should be honest, photography is an excuse. We are here for the coffee!
Just got your calendar Morten - it's up on a prominent place in the kitchen ready for January to show up :-)
Woodscapes I like it
Woodscapes. The animals give you a target to focus on and you choose, where possible your landscape and framing based on that. Landscapes force you to look for patterns, leading lines, perspectives, angles. If you are able to "see" photographically, you can walk through a landscape and see the photographs even from a point where you are not yet as you rotate your view of the landscape in your brain (sort of).
Morton i think you got me hooked on drinking coffee everytime i watch your videos 😁👍 Lovely video. Landscapes are challenging in their own way but can be very rewarding!
This is what I (should I say we?) love. Calm down and watch a video from Morten in the woods. So nice. Thumbs up.
I like coffee,😃 so nice
We never met, but just watching your videos I feel like I know you. You are probably one of the most relaxed and nicest person on here. Keep it up, I wish you all the best!

Hey Morten, you had me wondering for a few minutes if you were taking a break from KZread. I’m glad you’re able to get out and enjoy the forest in this busy time. Wishing you a great start to the week. 👍

Hey morten, I'm here from UPDT and I have many expectations of your work and content on KZread, I hope you continue doing what you love to do. :)
This is why I love photography, you make me love photography even more then I already do. I want to do this, I want all of this!!
I was the 1000th "Like" and I expect there will be a few thousand more. You should definitely do more landscapes, Morten.

Hey Morten :) On Tuesday I am meeting with the BBC to recce/talk about doing some filming at a local wetland. This to me is actually insanity! I watched you what are we talking maybe two years ago now and you inspired me to go out and shoot wildlife. This short time later I am getting called from the freaking BBC! If that's not motivation or inspiration for people I don't know what is. From the bottom of my heart... Thanks!

Gracias por este hermoso video
I am quite surprised to see that you use auto focus for landscape photos. Your metering surprised me also. Great video, Morten.
I’m not a photographer, I do enjoy your movies. I find myself feeling relaxed watching these and I particularly enjoy your adventures. Thank you for sharing.
I had a Z7. Glad you like yours, I thought it was shit. Sticking with my D4S. Love your channel, Morten, keep it coming.
Your such an inspiring man Morten :) all the best to you and yours for the new year.
Glad that you just had a short break! Can't wait to have your calendar in my hands and see all these amazing pictures printed. Have a great day. See you out there!
Over 220k suscribers already! 👏👏👏
Absolutely NOTHING sums up mindful/calm/considered photography better than the first 4m30s of this video! Godt gået Morten!!!👏👏
Of course you do your work and then......have a coffee....aaahhhh! Yah! Peaceful and relaxing and taking a break. Wonderful again..
Yet another fantastic video!
Seeing all the hard work you, your wife and mother puts in to these calendars makes receiving mine even more special. I can't wait. Thank you so much for your dedication and inspiration!
Hey Morten, thanks for all your inspiration !!!!!!! I love it!!!!
Just what I needed today! Relax and watch a Morten video. 😊 Now back to football and getting out the Christmas decorations. (PS. talking or not talking, it's always a treat!)
I’m so stoked for my signed calendar I ordered a few days ago. 🙌🏻 greetings from Corpus Christi, TX USA
Thank you, Morten, for another superb and relaxing video! During your narration you perfectly described why I (and many others) love to photograph nature. You said: "I get happy. I get energy." That is what it is all about! All the best.
Hi Morten, I saw your calendar. I'm so excited for the coming of the calendar. Waiting here from New Zealand.
You're the best Morten. We are gonna wait for you. But don't go too far.
Hi Morton, as Nigel inspired you you to inspire us. I truly look forward to your videos. Keep the fantastic work going!
Hey Morten, It's always good for the soul to take a break. I agree about being near home with my camera in the forest... Nature is so awesome! Greg
Wonderful! I'm so looking forward to my calendar. I wasn't sure if it was shipped yet to Canada so thank you for the update. Take care of your hand .. it's SO VALUABLE on so many levels.

Morten i love ypur job. I moved recently in Denmark and i just realise before two days that you are from here. I follow your job almost a year now, its my favourite company when i am not close to nature. Thank you.
Nice images, just ordered your calendar, looking forward to it.
I can think of no better break from the grind than time in the woods. Regardless the weather, it is my go to. We are blessed by your sharing of your time.
I love your videos.
Always good to see you videos.
The fact that you can get yourself to these beautiful woods within 10 minutes from your home.... I’m so jealous, Morten. It’s a beautiful place to live in. So much variety too! Cheers and thanks for a superb video, as always!
Thank you for that lovely little break of 17 minutes - that you just gave me. That 4-minute intro was pure gold of sounds and "action".
Beautiful video Morten! Loved the guitar music you were playing, so soothing. Fantastic shots too. Cheers!
Just watched Nigels videos and they were great...so glad to have found your channel
I love the wooden cup... your videos always make me long for a good cup of coffee :)
Always so relaxing.
Love your videos, man!
Ha, I was taking a break to watch your video 😉 Seeing you change the settings is actually really helpful. Thanks for another great video 👍
Great work Morten, lovely setting! Soothes the soul :-)👍
Great video as always Morten, thank you 😀
Hi Morten! I’m a young italian wildlife photographer and I’ve found your channel few days ago. I’ve already seen all your videos twice. I do really agree with your philosophy of wildlife photography, I can recognize me in your way to approach animal and nature. I’m really happy to not be the only one who looks for the beauty and the feelings that being with animals can provide me. They’re not just simple pictures. I want you to know that you have just became my inspiration to do some real wildlife photography. Hold on and have a good life! Thank you for sharing everything with us!
Mr. Hilmer, you are a real inspiration for me! Love your videos and your relationship with the nature and photography. I left so much things behind to follow my dream to be a fulltime photographer and writer and I can say that your videos and photography help me to had the necessary inspiration and courage to make it. Thank you!
FANTASTIC.
Amazing work.
Perfec
woodland photography is an art all on its own and you seem to have nailed it.... I remember the last set of the misty woods you did last year when you used the D5, and the 70-300mm Nikon, the image from that was beautiful ... fantastic again Morten and congratulations with you calendars
Hi Morten, we all need a break to clear the mind and regenerate. Received my calendar yesterday, its beautiful, great pictures and I love the layout. As for photographers Friday, not needed every week, " irregular and with quality and variety." Love your videos. Have a great Christmas and a photographers New Year.
Dear Morten, you really should consider to try and release a coffee brand or something. I would totally buy that. So would all your other fans. For real, i think it would be an excellent idea for you too look into. Keep up to the good work, i really, really enjoy your channel a lot.
love🖤🖤 your work Morten and waiting for my order 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I just finished watching all of your videos over the last couple of weeks, and I can safely say that you're one of my favorite youtubers now. Your videos are so soothing and at the same time so exciting and inspiring - even my cats love them, especially the bird sounds. My dog and I are huge fans of Bjørn too 😍 Wishing you and your loved ones happy holidays and an amazing new year!
Good to see you dabbling in landscape photography too. I have no doubt your style and passion will breathe more beauty in that direction. So happy to learn you need a break from signing calendars and not your videos. You have inspired both my husband and I in wildlife photography. We are getting a z6 for joint Christmas present to learn some video and photostacking w/macro. Thank you as always for your lovely videos and have a blessed Christmas!
Great to see that you have enjoyed your break Morten! I am a landscape photographer, and I will always say that our ultimate goal is to create order from the chaos. I believe this rule applies especially as far as forests and woods are concerned . Great content as always! Cheers! Dario
With so much of love from India
That’s coffee looks great ‘ and the image is good to 😃
Me too, the best break ever here on the 1. December 🌲☺️ I skovens dybe stille ro ... 🎼 ☕️

Are you obsessed with coffee, Ha, Ha. Loved this video. Hope you and your family enjoy a wonderful festive season, and thanks very much for sharing everything throughout the year, here's to 2020.
I love the mood in the final photograph as your video closed out... fantastic! Having just returned from 3 hours of hiking and photography in an early winter snowstorm, I completely understand how watching nature through a lens can settle one's thoughts. Thanks for sharing your process and looking forward to getting the 2020 calendar...
Nice sweater

Tony does Morten Hilmer. Just from what I've seen. I looked at the responses later. The sweater, the coffee. I get it. Good choice.

My kind of break Morten! I’ve enjoyed pictures from this adventure on Instagram. Thanks brother! 🇨🇦
Your awesome
Liking the tree shots Morten. I did some shots like that in Ontario a few years back, except they were birch trees. It was very peaceful. The only problem was I forgot to take the coffee thermos! I'm sure it would have been good. Like others have posted, glad you weren't talking about taking a break from KZread! Congratulations on selling out on your calendars, and it's pretty nice that you're taking time to sign each one. looking forward to the next video.
I feel guilty for pre ordering your calendar now (hope the hand recovers okay) 😆😉. I'm so glad I discovered your feed Morten, your content is truly inspiring. I must admit that I panicked a little when I seen the title of this video. Thank you so much for all your remarkable content! See you out there (hopefully). Phill.
