  • Morten Hilmer is in Crete! I did a Q&A with Morten about wildlife photography and more. Check it out.
    Follow Morten's Channel here: / mortenhilmer
    I only recently came across the wildlife photography vlogs of Morten Hilmer. And, immediately after doing so I decided that I needed to get to know him. I love his enthusiasm for wildlife photography, conservation, and just life.
    So, I asked Morten if he'd come to Crete, Greece so we could hang out. And, I thought maybe I could get him to try some landscape and travel, rather than just the wildlife photography that he does. So, he's here. And, he'll be here the next 4 days. This is going to eb a fun RUclips photography vlog collab, and I think we'll have a great time.
    So, meet Morten Hilmer in this Q&A, and we'll get out and do some vlogging and photography in the days to come.

    Thank you so much Brendan for your nice words and for inviting me to spend some days with you and Jodie. It has been awesome so far and I am definitely looking forward to the days to come. And thanks a thousand times to this awesome community in here for the nice comments you have already posted😀
    It is so incredibly warm here on Crete and this is so different from what I normally do but hey - isn't it just nice to nice to get out of our comfort zone sometimes and get inspired by the way other photographers' work.
    I wish everyone an awesome day and all the best luck with your photography 😉
    See you out there 🐾🐾🐾

    Liked before finishing the video, Morten's so inspirational and cool to hear the stories. Underwater photography seems quite fun, you can get some good images with point and shoots in underwater housings and strobes. But it depends on the type of photography you want to do. Definitely scuba is fun! Soo relaxing :)

    Morten is one of my favourite RUclipsrs. This was a great vlog. We have a ton of bears in Canada. My best day is 9 bear in one day and not at a bait site. If you want to photograph black bear in Canada try the hydro lines in Algonquin Park during july. I promise you will have good success. you'll probably see moose, deer, wolves and turkeys too.
    Cheers
