Hard Work Gets Rewarded - Mistakes Punished

Hi everyone. This is episode 6 in my series about my daily life as a wildlife photographer.
This episode shows how hard work sometimes gets rewarded - and how mistakes gets punished when It comes to wildlife photography…
I have now been working on attracting wildlife to my land for more than 6 years, and I think I just had the best evening in my photo blind since I moved here to the farm.
It is late summer in Denmark, and as always time just flies way too fast. I often wish nature could slow down just a bit so that I would have the time to better embrace the four seasons:)
Watch the livestream where I photographed the badger and the raccoon dog:

Hello, I really enjoy your work. I’m an American living in the Philippines. I enjoy underwater photography and video but I am starting to photograph the wildlife here. I’m learning a lot from your videos. Thank you so much

Morten. This video brought me to tears. I am from Canada and lived there until I was 43. I had a small farm just east of Winnipeg and you could not see my house from the road. There was no one behind me for 7 miles and I bordered a provincial forest. I was hunter, bowhunter and a photographer, but also owned an agency in the city, a 35 minute commute. I would come home and watch the wildlife in the yard, go for walk on my place, hunt deer in the back and sometimes take my dog by quad a mile down the road for ducks. It's a long story, but I sold everything and in some strange way, ended up in the concrete jungle of LA in 2012. I have been trying to get out ever since. There is no wildlife here and it is very hard on me. I still do photography and film, but it's more commercial and documentary. Hopefully soon, I will be back in the woods again where I belong. In the meantime I will keep watching your films and dream that I am there with you. Thank you for doing what you do and sharing it with us.

Thanks a lot for sharing your story and thoughts Sheldon. I totally understand how you must feel in the city. I really hope you’ll find your way back to your roots. Until then I’ll do my best to keep your dream alive😊 See you out there…

Everytime I watch Morten Hilmer vlog. The time passes by and suddenly it's the end of the video and man I never want it to finish. I always wish, oh! what if it was a bit longer ? I don't know what happens to my attention span. I am so focused watching these videos, 40 minutes feels so short. Thanks a lot for such a beautiful thing you deliver here Morten.

A person that have gorilla tejp laying around are well prepared ;) and pro tip are using " construction" grond screws, lasts forever and and sits firmly in the ground (as they are screwd in) As for and You and Me, When nature are close and at hand with our gentle support of food or shelter we feel lucky ;) and it makes us smile Edit one, Badger in good light 5+ for you Edit two in just a few seconds, Racoon Dog's, in pair, lucky you for having that around..And it knows you are around 15:22 , look at that sense of smell. In my eyes, if you scared the deer that's a good thing as it keeps away from humans, but yes a no scare is better
