Episode 1: • Using my car as a Phot...
I am in Scotland to do wildlife photography and landscape photography together with Nikon and a film crew from Beyond Content. The purpose of this trip is to make some content for the Nikon Europe RU-vid channel and to try out the new Nikon Z 400mm for wildlife photography.
For the first time I am publishing a video on my channel that is not filmed and edited by myself - this video is made by the passionated and very friendly crew from Beyond Content.
In the video I am photographing with Ricci who is a Nikon School Teacher.

✦ ABOUT THIS VIDEO
I am in Scotland to meet up with Nikon and the Landrover team. We are going to photograph wildlife with some new equipment and there will be a film crew covering the 5 days.
I went to Scotland 6 days in advance to visit the Cairngorms to try my luck with the mountain hares but I did not see any.
I met up with my friend Joanna and we used her campervan as a basecamp for 3 days.
Together with her, I spent a few days in Glen Etive trying to photograph the Stags. They were very skittish though so I had to use my car as a photo blind.
After saying goodbye to Joanna I headed to another location to meet up with Ricci from Nikon School, Beyond Content and a Nikon PR representative.
Together we spent five days photographing landscapes, wildlife and trying out the new Nikon Z 400mm f/2,8.
I did some interview for the Nikon RU-vid Channel and for Nikon Scool.
✦ WHO I AM.
My name is Morten Hilmer and I am a professional nature and wildlife photographer.
I am a Nikon Ambassador and I work as an ILCP photographer.
Nature conservation is very close to my heart.
I have served in the Danish military special unit, the Sirius Patrol, for two years and that has given me the skills and confidence to operate alone in the arctic regions.
See you out there !
All the best
Morten Hilmer

@senged 2 года назад

A fresh breath to your channel but I kind of like more the videos where you film everything yourself (I know it's a lot of work). However, I wouldn't mind more collaborations like this. Thanks for sharing!

@Merijn_Huysmans 2 года назад

It's a lil weird colorgrade right

@akaidekliin 2 года назад

agreed, i prefer Morten's gentle editing much more - this looks too "instagrammy"...

@Sebas51137 2 года назад

Yeah, color grade looks over saturated and too blue. I also prefer Morten’s usual look to the video. Also, there’s a bit too much slomo in this video for my tast. But other than that, I enjoyed the video

@TheBetonbob 2 года назад

Agreed, i like the original Morten Style much more. The slowmotion and the subtile showing of trademarks and Logos is a bit too much like a comercial. Especially the scene with those many Landrovers is not Morten Style. Just my opinion....

@anirudha2411 2 года назад

@@Merijn_Huysmans Yep I agree on that. The look is different. Morten's subtle colour grades are much better in my opinion. :)

I completely lost track of time watching this video. It was a pleasure following two truly dedicated photographers at the top of their game.

A car commercial really, but with my two favorite photographers, so that's okay. Love these guys. I hope they got paid well, and enjoyed those scallops.

That's how you shoot wildlife, with a camera, not with a rifle. I appreciate Morten so much for his respectful approach.

I left Nikon just after the D4 to move to Fujifilm. I never looked back..... but boy. The Z9 blows me away. What a monster. I love it. And I love in your hands. Awesome vid eo.

@CB-kn1ox 2 года назад

I feel I'm right there with you. You are such a joy and inspiration. I wish I was with you. And Ricci too. I know I'm not maximizing my D500 to its full potential. I'm going to check out his channel. Thanks for that great tip. So sorry about your laptop. Hopefully you'll be able to retrieve you data. Keep us posted. And lastly, it's funny. I was wondering where your thermos of coffee was when you pulled out the burner and started talking about making a cuppa.... Thank you, Morten. 🤗

@David_analogue01 2 года назад

What a wonderful video, yet again. I am not going to lie, I kinda prefer your editing style, but I totally recognise that this video is not for just this channel and that is just a personal choice! There is just a bit much slo-mo for me :-) That said, I can only imagine how nice it is to hand the editing duties over! None of this got in the way of my love for this video though so, again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for your work!

For those commenting that this is just an advert for Land Rover, it’s also an advert for Scotland, for Nikon, for Nikon School, for any and all other brands you see. Just enjoy it for what it is, 28 mins with two fantastic photographers in Morten and Ricci and the wow moment for me at 16:10

@jmlr2011 2 года назад

For me the shot at 20:10 was my favorite. Morten never disappoints me in his videos.

@AnastasTarpanov 2 года назад

You're my most favourite wildlife photographer ever! The most miserable weather ever, dead computer, all the shit in this world and you just enjoy it, drink your coffee and be there with the nature will all the respect to the wildlife. Wish more people were like you, just positive and easygoing. And of course, creating great images meanwhile :)

@_systemd 2 года назад

I had to make a decision recently and give up on my growing hobby of photography, where wildlife/animals was by far the most enjoyable area for me. It left me bitter and made me unfollow all the photography related channels and information sources etc. I do not touch a photograph anymore even for an edit or anything. However I keep returning to Morten's videos because the cinematography, the calmness, the sceneries, respect to animals and the way he takes photos on his trips/expeditions are to me the ultimate level of wildlife photography and represent the pure essence of it.

Definitely slightly different than the usual kind of films that you got us used to seeing here but i really did enjoy watching 😊I am extremely happy that you're getting the recognition from the right brands and right people that you deserve so much! I am also really looking forward to watching the new videos from your local forest in Denmark, from your cozy farm. Videos like the one when you photographed cranes ("wildlife photography when it's best") or badgers are just the classics! Thank you for inspiring us with each new video! ❤

Morten was remarkably calm when he discovered his laptop wouldn’t turn on. I hope his external drives managed to survive. The weather in Scotland is challenging but also very rewarding. It seems like Morton’s gear gets soaked with rain in almost every video Morton uploads . I loved seeing Ricci’s beautiful images.

The new cameras and lenses being released for the Z systems are phenomenal, and your expertise sharing is good for all of us! Morton, I hope you can recover your laptop and portable drives. Important (and expensive) tools for field work. Thanks again to the two of you for all you've done and will continue to do for photography lovers out here amongst us. Great work and much gratitude!

Can’t wait to see you revisit Yellowstone, and track down some wolves hopefully 👍

@tomfischer2875 2 года назад

A little bit different, more tempo( its not necessary) and I like the slowmotion. think you have a bit different color grading to. this is a balance act to keep your heart in the video, but you have to listen to the sponsor to. Its a good video, just amazing film on the animals, majestic. and its nice to have a sliding camera capturing you sometimes when you have a camera crew. good job.

Very pleased to see you were impressed by the fine scenery, weather and wildlife - and a real treat to hear an experienced man like yourself realise that landscape photography is NOT relaxing, and often requires rapid decision making that can be as intimidating as quarry taking fright! Liking this latest collaboration with your Nikon partner and Land Rover, and we hope that it works for you. Best from here.

@DavidSwarthout 2 года назад

As others have already said, I have to admit I prefer your videos over this produced one. Your excitement about wild lands and wildlife came through in this video but I could also feel the influence of the Nikon organization. I liked Ricci and the fact that he's a photographer but he's also a Nikon guy who's there to do advertising. If I were in your position I would no doubt be working for Nikon, or Canon, and enjoying all that juicy equipment too so please don't take my comment as a criticism of you or your work. Changing the subject: Those images of that stag were just outrageous. I was so blown away by some of them that my jaw literally dropped. Wow! Would that I could trade places with you just long enough to see those stags for myself. Best always Morten, keep up the excellent work!
