On This Island Nature Is Left Alone
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- In this episode I am going to one of my favourite locations for wildlife photography.
Vorsø is a protected Island in Denmark, and for almost 100 years this little paradise has not been regulated by humans in any way.
I have been photographing badgers on this island for several years now, and even though I have got many great photos on this locations, I always leave the island with new photos in mind and situations I did not manage to capture.
February is not a good month to photograph badgers since they are only active when it is dark, but that is not the purpose of this trip.
I am here to gather information and to prepare for this spring's photography and hopefully to learn a bit more about the badgers at this time of the year.
Enjoy watching.
See you out there...

You do such a great job. I absolutely love your videos! When I watch your video, I feel like I'm walking in the forest myself! Thank you
Der Krieger auch da
Immer wieder interessant zu sehen wen es hier auf Morten‘s Kanal verschlägt….🤗

Morten, I recently went back to watch your first video with the surprise fox and it's great to see the enthusiastic approach to sharing your love of nature is still there 5 years later. Please never change this, it's what keeps us all so excited to get a new Morten notification.
Thank you for sharing your adventures Morten. Your videos are always a pure moment of enjoyment and relaxation.
Thank you so much Carlo
Time spent with you is such a pleasure money can't buy. Thanks for continuing to make the effort to share your adventures. It means so much to those who can't be there for whatever reason.
Thank you for sharing your next episode Molten. And seriously first I like and comment on your video then I watched. it's my pleasure to see you once again.
From Pakistan 🇵🇰🤍🇳🇴
Hello brother, I have a question, you put music in your video, how do you put it, where can you get such quiet music, and is it copyrighted?
Excellent! Perfect video to watch before sleep.
When you mention a trip to Svalbard I can only think of fantastic photage and new Nikon gear - hopefully Z8 🤩
Thank you for your update. I love watching your adventures... looking forward to seeing what you capture behind the lens in the next 3 weeks.
Plainly and simply - just can’t get enough of your videos. To be invited into your experiences is an honor. Thanks Morten.
This is another reason to why Morten Hilmer is the best photographer in the world.WE LOVE YOU MORTREN
thank you for the interesting info about the different signs of predator attacks that show up on the prey's feathers.
another Beautifully photographed video.
I love watching your video's, I find them very calming in what can be quite a hectic world these days! Thank you.
22m/s is roughly 50mph (for US watchers). Gale force winds!
I am happy to see my blind surviving the stormtest
The blind is premium Jan👍
Morten! Your videos reenergize my passion for wildlife videography every time I watch them!! Thank you!!
I take my hat off to you Morten for your amazingly well done youtube channel. I admire your drive, enthusiasm, joy and willingness to share your adventures and knowledge when taking photos and videos. Best regards from Malmö.
The work is amazing love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Enjoyed it very much as always. BUT no Bjørn?! We are his fan club and would like to see him for at least a couple of minutes LOL
It look's like your holding some kind of a rifle in the video thumbnail 🙈😄
As always a cracking vlog Morton I take it the photo blind was a Mr Jan Gear, enjoy your trip
Morten, another amazing video that I watched! The best wildlife chanel! O melhor!
Tusen tack för denna härliga video, Morten. Det är alltid lika fint att få se din positiva attityd och strålande energi. Önskar dig en mycket lyckad, och trygg resa till Svalbard 😍
Watching after a longtime
Nothing has changed
At peace ✌🏻
Thank you Morten for sharing this precious moments with us
❤️😊
I love your badger studies, in fact I own a couple of your badger prints from this little island, but I am also pleased to see you are still doing your macro photography. The snowdrop is my favourite flower, it appears to tell nature it can wake up now and start to get ready for Spring. Another wonderful film, Morten, thank you. 🥰
Also, I vote to name your new photo blind 'the Elton John' because it was still standing 😜
🤣
Enjoyed the video. Good to see the badgers are still thriving on the island. Hopefully things went well on Svalbard. Looking forward to your next video.
Great video looking forward to watching the rest of your adventure
This is really nice! Watched it with coffee and every time Im looking your videos, Im more motivated to go out and be around with wildlife and nature. Thank you
You have provided me with another first. First time, I've seen someone take a trip to an island by tractor, rather than boat!
Normally I have little patience and often zap through quickly. But the calmness that Morten exudes, how he enjoys and shares that with us. In one word, great and I keep watching it.
Brilliant, as always
West Denmark looks so beautiful even in Winter.
Woho, best of shows. This will be nice to look at in bed 🙂
wowwow I have your followers starting from 60k subscribe and now it's 500k very impressive
I think I've seen a great documentary. Thank you for sharing your experience. I have a question. Is it possible to set up a tent and make a fire in a forest in Sweden or Denmark? I'm asking because as far as I know it's illegal in England where I live. I just started TH-cam and your channel is inspiring me a lot. Thank you
Awesome video Morten! I hope you have a fantastic time on Svalbard, and I cannot wait to see what you get to photograph and experience on the trip. I hope you get to see a Polar Bear again! Take care.👍
Love from India
Incredible beauty! Morten, you are incredibly inspiring to move forward in photography!!! Thank you very much and good shots!!!
So happy to see you on another great nature adventure Morten! Look forward to futures ones, so worth waiting for. Happy to see your farm being watched after by your dad, he is doing a great job! Enjoy seeing him, Simon and Bjorn on the Nature Cam 😊. Be safe
Rømø is a beautiful plcce except for the Bloody Germans
I really enjoy your videos, so relaxing and educational. It's also nice how you can appreciate the smallest things so much, many people can learn from that, including myself. Thank you for all the energy you put into these beautiful vlogs!
This is the one guy I can watch his videos and him do absolutely nothing 😂😂😂😂😂
I’m asking him again. Can I come over for a week? PLEASE 🙏 I won’t get in your way I promise 😅 I would love to spend some time with you 🎉 wow that would be a dream. I love photography so I see him do this it makes me happy that when I retire this is what I will be doing. That’s a fact 👍👍🙏🙏👍
The time and effort you put in the preparation is key for the success. I'm pretty sure you will be rewarded and I am looking forward for you to share it with us. Cheers from Canada.
Respected Sir,
I have learn a lot from your video, that you have shared,I want to say that Is Nikon D850 and Nikon D7500 worth to buy in 2023?
I have been watching your vlogs about wildlife photography for 2 months, which inspired me so I tried wild bird and nature photography to support nature and wildlife, now my views on facebook page are increasing, Thank you sir @Morten Hilmer ❤
Hello morten, first of all, thank you for uploading such great content. Everytime I watch one of your videos I just have to go out photographing wildlife myself right after. However I have been having trouble spotting wildlife lately, especially mammals. Many forums mentioned the use of thermal spotters. Have you ever used one? what are your thoughts on it? Best regards, Sebastiaan
Mr. Hilmer. May I ask where you purchased your bush hat you wore in the first segment on the island? I've been looking for one just like that but with no luck. Thank you for all you do for your audience. I always look forward to your productions.
What is that crazy wooden tripod? When you were packing for Svalbard at about 32:00
Amazing !! Love your work ! Can't wait for the next episode!
I love your Videos and you inspired me to start Wildlifephotography 👍
Thank you for that Great Viedo
Hey Morten I Like all Videos from you . Sorry my Englisch ist not so good . Can you tell me were can I by this Foto tent . I like it .
Viele Grüße aus Tyskland Michael
Always love watching your TH-cam channel you have made me the wildlife photographer i am today and made me do my own TH-cam channel and i know I’ve only 100 subscribers but I’m hope to go and do best videos thanks buddy
I recently got hooked on your videos. I listen to your stories and above all I watch what you do to study if I can copy some things haha!! Greetings from the Canary Islands. You have a hobby colleague who admires you and watches you from afar 😉
Morten, would you please tell us what types and sizes of Stanleys you use to drink your coffee in?
Thank you. We really enjoy your youtube videos and sharing your experiences.
Thank you for your wonderful videos. Where do you buy your wonderful sweaters? They look like they keep you warm.
Man I really love your videos, it gives me a feeling of connection with nature in times when i cant go out. Keep it up❤
I think a Coffee and flask company should sponsor you, Morten
Hello. Like your videos very much. May I know what camera you use to film your vlog?
hi i am new to wildlife photography
i dont have a setup yet and i would really like to start filming/photographing wildlife but i want to spend as little money as possible at first but want to be able to upgrade in the future, could you please give me a recommendation for the cheapest mirrorless set up (lens and camera) that is still capable of decent photographs thank you !
Sir Morten thank for sharing btw i like that ladder 18:53
Great vid as always. My intro camera is the Canon M6. Still using it for vid and pics. It's been great to learn on!
Morten Hilmer is Missing. He has not uploaded his video for a looong time. Do you know where he is?
the vibes you share are insane. Looking forward to watch your Svalbard experience!! Best !!
Thank you Tomi. So Nice to hear
Your cat doesn't get much video time. Happy to see it. :)
hi morten, which brand of camera backpack are you using?
He should sell a T-shirt with the text "This is So Nice".
So calming to see.
Det er dejligt at se steder i Danmark man normalt ikke selv vil kunne se. Tak for en fantastisk video.
Great content! How do I support your YT to watch more videos?
Hi Morten where did you get your new photo blind. It looks pretty good
I love your love for nature and the world so much!
May I ask what camera you use to record the vlog video？
Dav Morten, når du siger Vorsø, så er du jo hernede omkring Horsens, eller tager jeg fejl :)?
I am happy to see u have Kelly kettle. I have it as well and love it. Love your videos
Hehe ledede efter en film jeg ville se blandt dine også kom der lige en ny 😊 Perfekt timing 🇩🇰
Morten what brand is your backpack ?
A proper multipurpose wagon that! :)
Thanks again, Morten. Always an enjoyable companion for my morning coffee 😎
I have a little question - do you have a recommendation for an economical all-round microphone for shooting? I’m a biologist and photographer and am beginning to shoot video on my new z9 (gulp 😥$$). I’ll be on the west coast of Vancouver Island looking for coastal wolves in May and am looking for a simple on-camera solution to pick up sound. Is there an all in one solution for environment and narration? Or am I looking at two separate bits of gear?
Cheers and thanks again for the information and entertainment. 👍
There are a lot of good microphones.
My favorites at the moment is the Røde Videomic NTG and the Sennheiser MKE 400.
I will recommend the Rode because it gives you a safety channel and it is more sensitive which means better for quiet nature sounds.
There are a lot better microphones but they require xlr and are a lot bigger
Thanks for the info! Will check it out. 😎👍
Fedt Morten,du er virkelig en rollemodel,og du er ærlig hvis ting stresser dig,hvilket overskud.Det bliver spændende at se om du tester Nikon Z8 på denne tur. Nyd turen deroppe i Arktis
Havde samme tanke, da han sagde tur til Svalbard :)
You are doing exactly the same thing on Vorso as I in the Netherlands, Morten. Great video! Perhaps you can check out my badger trail cam footage. Next month, it's finally time for us to get out our Nikons and shoot great badger images!
What make is that camera hide that you tested?
That is from Mr. Jan Gear
@@MortenHilmer cheers, will look them up.
Excellent video as usual Morten! I’m having alot at ”my” sett as well, been seeing cubs out which indicates either an early batch or a late one.
Can’t wait to spring and see where your badger project is going!
Cheers 😊🙏
great videos, i miss your little kuksa
Beautiful
Fantastico tractor boa !wow!
It was at the 16 minute mark that I was drawn in to the film. It was like I was right there, connecting with nature. It's all about the long periods of quiet that have a calming effect, a technique that many a modern filmmaker have forgotten. I admire your persistence with photography even during the cold, barren winter months. It's winter here in New Zealand right now, and I have a day off tomorrow. I'll be waking up early tomorrow morning to venture out to take some photos too.
Can you tell me more about your critter cam?
Thank you. Looking forward to following your adventures. Hopefully the foxes survive this disease and it isn’t ongoing. Stay well and safe travels . All the best. 👍📷😎🏴
Thanks for another excellent video and taking us on the photography adventures. Are you going to trade your F mount 600mm for the new 600TC?
You are doing an amazing job!
Hi Morten! Hope you're having fun diving with sea turtles. :) Currently watching a moose and a roe deer stag (? male with antlers) outside my window. Well, the moose got too close, so the roe deer ran away. So now the moose is nibbling on some left-over hay, that I threw out from my guinea pigs. Currently home at my mothers' "farm". We had -32 celsius last night. Still very much winter in Finnmark. Correction: There are two moose, I'm guessing mother and daughter. The baby moose is a bit small and skinny for this time of year, but hopefully it will make it through the winter. I saw them all yesterday as well. The roe deer is a regular visiter here in the winter.
Hi Morten, thank you for this beautiful new video, it's really fun to watch your videos, I'm looking forward to your adventures in Svalbard 🐾 😊
was that Mandø island
What camera model do you use?
Another great video Moreton. I struggle in the cold weather (I have cold weather injuries from my younger day's in Arctic Winters). Clothing is the key I think, could you share a link to the jacket and trousers you have on in minute 16-17 I think they look really hardy and would like to try some. Thanks in advance.
Hi Morten ! Good Luck !!!
Spectacular scenery. Peaceful environment. Snowdrop flowers popping. The video leads me to a state of tranquillity. Want to grab my own gear and just set off. Thanks for sharing Morten.
Thank you for yet another enjoyable video. Hope your Svarlbad trip is successful. Can I ask please what model the trailcamera you were using in the badger wood was. I have tried many and have yet to find one that I am fully happy with. Thanks from Wales.
I just want to know what brand your hat is?
Hello Morten, You do have a great why with your words and images, I do thank you for sharing. Keep well, keep safe and enjoy your lift.
