  • I am in my permanent photo blind to do some bird photography and it is one of the first time I am shooting from here solely with the Nikon Z6. The birds are comfortable with the blind itself, but they seem to notice when I am there. Hanging up the camouflage in the opening gives me the advantage that I can look out and still remain unseen. At least it worked out very well.
    This is probably the most I have ever pushed one of my video cameras. Most of the video is recorded on ISO 20.000 in the light from a candle light on the Nikon Z6. As you can see the quality is really bad - especially in the beginning. But regardless I managed to tell my story from a day in the photo blind:)

    Brilliant Morten. This brought back so many good memories from the last few days. You capture the feelings so well with your amazing cinematography and carefully chosen words. Setting up a blind with my daughter over the next few weeks...

      It was such a nice time we had Nigel. Looking forward to next time. Thank you so much for your kind words.
      Here you have a great example on the "iso limit" for the z6 video. I decided to light the blind with only candlelight so I had to go to iso 20.000🙄 anyway.. The story got told.. Can't wait to hear more about your blind and to see your videos from the trip😉 I was really enjoying one of your videos this evening - the one I am linking to in the end of this video.

      Hello Nigel... Hello Morten.... absolutely right... Morten captures the intimacy of patience, the love of photography, love of wildlife, solitude, and companionship of dogs... so much so I never once thought about the camera or the settings.... just the life. What a great life. I loved this vid.. just perfect. 🙂

      Hello Morten
      Vos vidéos sont vraiment très intéressantes mais malheureusement je ne comprends pas l'anglais. Si vous avez la possibilité de mettre un sous-titrage en français ça serait vraiment sympa.
      Mais dans tous cas, vos images sont superbes et vos commentaires donnent une belle ambiance. Au plaisir de vous suivre prochainement.
