    The way you can capture me with "nothing"..... no music, no big animals or canyons..... just the love to nature. No stress. Awesome. Love it.

      Some times , OUT THERE in the wilderness , you just can't hop a few miles or even towns to get what you want or need. Plus a lot of times it saves you money & you can get a more use full out come.

    Danish people are so repectful with nature that it shows everywhere as it's best. And Morten, you are very best example of it.
    I have visited Denmark many times as my son is a DTU student and allways appreciated the way you, the danish, live side by side in harmony with nature. In my last visit just a month ago I was able to take images of ravens, owls, deers, etc just taking a walk from my son's home.
    Morten, you and people like you, make it possible because you are the best Nature ambassador. People respect and love what they know and you make them love Nature.
    Great job Morten!
    Best regards from Barcelona!

    Great photos and sound advice. I especially enjoy the silence in the first half of the video. It reminds me of this last summer and the time I spent in my first makeshift blind that I built out of fallen trees, bushes and rope. Due to the pandemic I left NYC and spent many months in the Adirondacks learning from experience and from videos like this one here, to perfect my wildlife photography/videography skills. I also made many wildlife friends including red squirrels and a chipmunk who would sit with me in the blind while I took photos/videos. Watching your video makes me wish I was back there again. Being in the wild in the silence can be very therapeutic and a reminder of the unmatched beauty of the natural world that is always present whether we notice it or not.

    Dear Morten
    Your videos are the best thing about wildlife photography i've ever seen
    I practice photography, at least I try, in the unique setting of macrophoto, with the Olympus system.
    I've always wanted to get into wildlife photography, as I'm passionate about nature and thanks to your videos, I'm going to take a leap
    When I see the quality of the content you offer, I make a trip every time I connect to your RUclips channel, and this every day.
    Society, hunters, all those who harm our environment should learn from you to known and respect it !
    You are a kind of magician with et heart and a camera instead of a stick, a defender of nature!
    May you continue in this way! I admire you!
    Too bad I live so far away, I wish you had met...

I am just clearing a paddock I have on my land ready for building a photo blind in the new year, I would love to know how you built yours as there are so many out there, yours looks just the thing I'm looking for. Have a great 7days in the forest and look forward to seeing the video of your adventures, good luck!

    I loved this video. The first 10 minutes were so relaxing. No talking, little to no music, and most importantly NO ADS. I will gladly take a longer ad done by you at a good part of the video than nonsense stuff interrupting after every 5 minuets.

    Fabulous in so many ways. It is always worth the wait. Some photographers produce a video every 7 days and I think pushing to do that they sometimes lower the quality. Your videos are so enjoyable and your style is developing so nicely. And you clearly put in so much time and effort. Thanks.

    It's nice to have somewhere to do this. I set up some perches at a local nature reserve.
    Some branches with holes drilled in to hold bird seed.. Unfortunately someone removed them.
    There are now no perches for the birds, so they don't come anywhere close to the hides, or
    viewing areas.

    We have been in lockdown here in America for a long time but I have been able to observe the birds in my own back garden and it is so interesting how the different personalities of the birds dictate how you photograph them. The wee little chickadee is bold and I can actually sit out on my deck or walk around the feeder and the chickadee will squawk at me but not fly away. The Blue Jay on the other had is a very large and loud bird but also is very skittish and if I even look out the window they fly away. So I put out my popup photo blind early in the morning to photograph the Blue Jays.
    Thank you for pointing out your focusing techniques it has really helped alot!

    What a perfect end to my day. These videos relax you, take you on a journey with nature and teach you so much. And that's why only the one's who put in the time and effort will be rewarded with amazing images or video clips. It's a pity normal work gets in the way. Or does it? Well done Morten another brilliant video.

  • @AK-de3ej
    @AK-de3ej 4 года назад

    I must agree with you - it is very important to know the behavior of the birds you want to photograph. I think that wildlife photography is very hard. Last weekend I took some great shots using my Nikon D7500 and Sigma 100-400. I think that my next camera will be one of the Nikon's mirror less model if there will be no successor for D7500/D500. For those who thinking that D7500 is bad camera - it is much better for bird photography than Nikon D7200. Buffer and shooting speed is much better and this gives me the chance to take a huge series of birds going to start to fly. If you do not have money for D500 take D7500 - it is great camera for the actual price.

    Really nice and instructive video Morten as always! (I never thought of the aperture scaring the birds!). I really want to thank you for all these amazing quality videos! Your attitude about nature and wildlife is incredible! You really inspired me to start getting a little more serious about wildlife photography. I am considering upgrading my tamron 100-400mm to something a little more sharp and fast when the budget will allow it. I am really torn between a 300mm f/2.8 and a 500mm f/4.. Both are of course great lenses but I'm not sure which would be the best for me, shooting mostly roe deer and birds for now. Thanks again for all the inspiration you give to all of us! See you out there with some coffee!
