This evening is all about wildlife photography from my photo blind but since this is my fist time in the blind, I have no expectations and I have no idea what is going to happen!

••• WHO I AM •••
My name is Morten Hilmer and I am a professional nature and wildlife photographer. In this series of behind the scenes vlogs I want to share my fascination of nature with you and invite you behind the scene when I am out photographing the fascinating wildlife, the stunning landscapes and the wild nature. I work as a ILCP photographer, and nature conservation is very close to my heart.
For me nature photography is all about sharing the unique experiences and to put awareness to nature conservation. Furthermore my goal is to inspire as many as possible to get out and experience the true beauty of nature.
“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. I have spent two further years in the northern parts of Greenland meeting the local people and working on photography projects. My driving force is a sense of adventure and my fascination for nature, and my curiosity and empathy for other cultures has led me to many remote regions.”
Read more about my time in the Sirius Dogsled Patrol: www.bbc.com/earth/story/201602...
Beside the many publications my photographs has been awarded in the Wildlife photographer of the year and European Wildlife photographer of the year photo competitions.
In spring 2017 I published my book Silence of the North: shop.mortenhilmer.com/product...
See you out there !
All the best
Morten Hilmer

"I am not a coffee addict. it´s just that I really really like it." that made my day

@ant_hart 4 года назад

Morten saying he isn’t a coffee addict is like saying that fox doesn’t sh1t in the woods!haha! I used to think I was a coffee addict but Morten is a whole other level ;)

In a rush to get into your blind and you gently move a caterpillar and put it somewhere safer, speaks more about the man than any well worded statement. In a blind on your own land with a cuckoo calling, watching a young fox, you my friend are living the dream, or at least my dream. And the very best thing of all, you are generous enough to share it with all of us watching. I was photographing a pair of foxes raiding greylag nests about a month ago, and it was the joy of seeing them and capturing that was most important. If I get a print out of it brilliant, if not I’ve got a record of a special moment. I also agree with you philosophies about feeding mammals, especially foxes and badgers, we must never domesticate them or make them dependent on us. I too like magpies, but I always salute them, which is a British superstition, in memory of my father. Every time I see one of your videos I think you can’t better that one and every video you prove me wrong. Thank you so much Morten, never think your work isn’t appreciated.

@morten hilmer at 13:30 when you are trying to describe the photos and why you, Just Love Them... I LOVE the same exact two photos... ...its because you are capturing their personality and in the wild they are so alert, it is hard to find a carefree moment where you can they are enjoying every moment & you captured it!

Thank you once again Morten for all you are producing and sharing with us. Simply the very best choice for the background music and your style of story telling -- it's all just magic.

@ripley1690 6 лет назад

such a beautiful thing , loved the music on the picture playback, quite moving and that picture where the little fox appears to be smelling the small tree while its eyes are closed is outstandingly reflective of the beauty in wildlife. Thanks again Morten.

@MortenHilmer 6 лет назад

And thank you for such a lovely comment😊

@poppyspix4444 6 лет назад

As always, another great video about shooting nature and wildlife. I too was impressed with your kindness in moving a Caterpillar to another location rather than just brushing him off.

Every picture captures nature at peace with its surroundings...free. I am learning so much from watching these videos. I have quite a nature sanctuary on my 20 acres in rural Missouri. Lots of birds and animals which has made me want to learn nature photography. I enjoy how you wait and watch and relish every minute. Thanks for another gorgeous video.

@wylie_photo 6 лет назад

Love those images of the foxes, so full of wonder and character. I remember rescuing a wounded fox cub many years ago on Exmoor, it’s such a privilege to be so close to wild animals. You don’t need to go on safaris to value, respect and enjoy nature. You have a great channel and your passion shines through.

@gordlawton 6 лет назад

@philipaston1390 6 лет назад

Hi Morten, great photo of the Fox smelling the leaf. He had a look of contentment on his face much like most of your expressions when filming him. Sharp, portrait-like shots are great but shots like this one show more what the animal was feeling. Another great video.

@rushl.workman7138 6 лет назад

Unbelievable!!! Good advice about feeding. I like the bird! That is the money shot. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

@philwheelhouse3405 6 лет назад

Morten, superb vlog and when you shared the video and Images at the end, just brilliant. Those eyes on the little fellow were just Incredible, your style is unique and choice of music is 100% thank you for sharing.

the interaction between the fox and bird was cool I know for you your heart was racing I'm sure the whole time it was there. What a special moment and thank you for sharing. I would have been snapping away taking pics and too busy to film like you did.

@bakerlinden 6 лет назад

Morton simply fantastic vlog. Content brilliant👌🏻 Videos and images truly wonderful. Your passion is clear to see and comes across very nicely.

@old4004 6 лет назад

I always enjoy your photos, Morten, but I'm even more impressed by the joy that you show. With your idyllic forest setting, I kept expecting Pooh Bear to come strolling by with a honey pot on his head! Keep taking us along.

@ChrisHunt4497 6 лет назад

The way you moved that little caterpillar was so endearing. I love your vlogs in the forest. I could listen to you all day. The little fox was so sweet and I agree, all shots do not have to be 100% sharp, it is the moment that matters.

@frankroden8233 6 лет назад

What an amazing video ….Breathtaking moment seeing a fox !!

@larryligget628 6 лет назад

Morton, I sometimes feel like I am right there with you. Thank you for your unselfishness and willingness to share these moments you have captured. Here in the Midwest USA we have lots of red foxes, and I think they are maybe my favorite animals, too. We have a pair who have for the last three or four years raised a litter of kits near our little red barn. It is so much fun to simply sit back and watch them play and grow up.

@tristanbane4873 4 года назад

Really enjoyed this. It seems that the relationship between foxes and magpies is the same the world round. I spend a lot of time photographing foxes in Belfast and the interaction with the magpies is fascinating. The magpies bravely and loudly try to scare away the foxes and the foxes duly ignore them. When the foxes finally leave the magpies take all the credit and celebrate a job well done...

@petercseszarik6552 5 лет назад

so gorgeous little youngster. it was amazing when the megpie hang out with her then she went to investigate and the bird was like okay that's close enough. the way she sits down you can tell how young she is. like a kitten. I love your videos so much. thank you.

@markattardo 6 лет назад
