This is the behind the camera version of Bird Photography in the Forest:
••• Watch the original video: • BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY in th... •••
After the photo trip to the forest where I was photographing the woodpecker I am making a recap where I am talking about the day and my experiences. I love bird photography and this is actually one of my first time photographing birds for quite a while.
In this behind the scenes version I am talking a little about the pros and cons of using the tripod, a little about the composition, the 3d camouflage clothes and then in the end of the video I am answering some questions from the previous video. I really hope you will get something out of this and I am very eager to get some feedback.

"I see myself as a guest in Nature." -- Morten Hilmer Your photography is wonderful and your attitude is inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing it all with us! Parent feeding a child. It doesn't get better than that! (Okay, it got better when you poured a cup of coffee.)

I loved that quote as well. It encapsulates how we should treat nature, furthermore how as more and more habitats are compromised that we will step in as guests and be very lucky if we can see the inhabitants.

Your attitude about being in nature is similar to mine. The bird or animal may know that you are there but be respectful, keep movements to a minimum, don’t get too close, capture your images and leave quietly. If I spend some time with a bird or animal, hopefully capturing a few good images, I always whisper a short “thank-you” out loud to them....really, I thank them. For their time and letting me share a little bit of their life, I am grateful.

I can definitely relate to that Randy. I do exactly the same thing and it is such a great feeling. It makes me feel a bit less disconnected to Nature..

@giuseppecapilli4914 5 жыл бұрын

Dreamy and blurry, this is why I love your photos so much. Without revealing everything in a "clean sharp focus image", you live to the viewer the possibility to become part of the process of interpretation and to complete with his own ideas the picture you made, rather than just observing it. This is what the great artists do. But even more importantly, you are a great human being. Thank you Morten, you are the best and the finest.

I think it might have been the deer in the meadow. Your respect for the environment and the animals really shines through. I do hope you'll take us on a Macro trip one day :)

It’s so great that you break rules. I love your style. It’s natural. I’m so sick of photos of a bird on a stick with blurry backgrounds. I thin photographs in persuading perfect birds photos completely forgot about natural environment of birds or wild animals. I really like to listen to your stories. Glad you liked Poland. I’m from Poland 🇵🇱. If you would like to visit again let me know. I have a simple house in Mazury lake country. Full of wild life close to Bialowierza where you have been. All the best, Krzysztof.

I am very thankful for videos like yours that allow me to learn how to create beautiful images. I only recently have started photographing birds as a way of helping me to remember what birds that I’ve seen on birdwatching trips. I like the technical information because there is value in others experience. I find watching your videos to be almost like meditation.

Your lens is bigger than my lens :D But the challenges are the same and I'm so glad to see you show the challenges of photography, it is good to know we all face them and we shouldn't feel bad when we struggle, rather focus on the joy of being in nature. Plus, your photos always tell a story, and that is the most important thing to accomplish and you always seem to manage that. I had a good laugh when you said, "Oh look at that, now it's not bird photography - it's just one of my chickens!" Haha! I just love how genuine and down to earth you are, Morten, it is what makes your channel such a pleasure to watch.

This is awesome - I love this idea to also have a behind the scenes explanation afterwards! We all want to know how it's done and it's so hard to explain those kind of things at the same time as photographing 😊 I totally agree with the silent shutter thing - it's certainly better but somehow it takes the 'feeling' of taking a photograph away so I only use it when I think I need to! Re. the Nikon Z autofocus tracking - the firmware update they released while you were away has cartainly improved it, so they're certainly working on it...

I photograph a pack of coyotes at a local park in Arizona. It’s very busy there because people use the park all day to walk, run, ride horses, skateboard etc. If I get there early in the morning before light and wait for the pack to wake up I can get a few hours before everyone shows up. Even though I’m a good distance away the coyotes know I‘m there for sure so I’ve thought about the 3D camo but I would feel a little weird....it just seems easier on the coyotes if I could make myself a little more invisible.

Hello Morten! It so good to have you back :) I just watched both of your new videos, and again as always, they are so inspiring, and awesome - thank you! I like your new format of making a “original” video and then a btc, where you explain more with the time it needs. I loved to hear your insight about the composition/framing and the use of the tripod. I am currently exploring the Albanian alps with my wife and my 1 year old son, and I just wanted to let you know that you have inspired me in the past so much, that last night I got up at 4 in the morning, and sneaked around the forest - not expecting anything (but hoping for a bear). In the end I settled for pictures from snails, butterflies and flowers, but just LOVED being out there, came back with a huge smile on my face. So thank you for making those videos!
