To be able to deliver the last "mood" to the project I am currently working on, I had to capture winter. Therefore I was happy to see how the temperatures in Denmark suddenly dropped and snow was moving closer. I decided to go to a location in the Northern part of Denmark together with Simon who is also working with me on this project. Being two photographers helped with covering more angles.
Deadline for this job is August 2021 and I am looking forward to share the final result.

A few questions:
1. Does the snow damage the equipment?
Most of my equipment is weather sealed which is not the same as waterproof. That means the snow itself is not going to harm the equipment as long as it stays frozen. The problem occurs when it thaws. Then i have to dry it all so that it will not damage the equipment when it once again freezes the day after. I am not afraid to get wet equipment in general, but water in combination with frost is a bad combination.
The microphones are not very tolerant to water, so they really need to be kept dry. That is also why I carefully brushes the snow off before putting them back into the photo backpack.
2. Are you switching to Canon?
Because of some future assignments and an Arctic expedition I am looking for alternatives to my Z cameras which did not perform very well on my 2 months expedition to Ellesmere Island when it comes to the autofocus.
I find the autofocus system in the Canon R5 and R6 more capable and faster to use and for the assignment i am currently working on, the video features are needed.
I do not know what the future will bring. For now I am just enjoying working with the system.

Morten - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
In my humble opinion.....watching your videos and drinking coffee makes the world a better place. Thanks.
Mr Hilmer, as a Canadian, your enthusiasm for snow is absolutely adorable! I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing with us :)
Who else has a dream of meeting one day with morten and learning skills❤️
Many few are there those who dont need any introduction and their work is enough to speak about them and morten sir you are one of them
You already met. You just didn't notice the stealthy man.
“Closing time in the forest”, so tempted to steal this perfect phrase. Beautiful video. Thank you for doing this work.
This project bringing nature to people in hospitals (in a moment when they probably need it the most) is just fantastic. Hats off! Enjoy the rest of the snow.
Thanks for the good tips about handling the equipment. I will try to keep them in mind.
good to see how you prepare for a trip and how you deal with frozen equipment 👍, thanks for sharing.
Great scenes of you having lunch in the snow and from the drone.
Another tip concerning silica gel: Always put the silica gel and whatever you're drying into an airproof container like a plastic bag. The silica gel will work faster as it only needs to dry a smaller volume of air.
The only snow that feels warm are in your videos. Thank you so much!
You are my biggest inspiration, helping me step through and hopefully out of my depression one step at a time. I always dreamed of being in the deep cold snow far away, ever since I was a kid, and watching you, learning from you is something I will forever owe to you, even if you’re not aware. Thank you.
An enjoyable watch, thanks for taking us along, Morten! I love snow, but we also rarely get any here in North Central Texas. I love the project you're involved in for the hospital and happy that you got this opportunity to fill in a beautiful winter season. Well done!
That is a very nice project you have working on. You are the best person to do such videos.
This is the kind of videos that are really top-notch and unique, combining field testing, experience, gear, tutorial, tips, so on. Amazing.
Beautiful Morten.. good luck to your assignment..👍🏻
Morten Hilmer , one of the best photographer , guide, and content creator in the history of photography ❤️❤️ , hats off Morten , thank you to be my inspiration
That’s an awesome project for the hospitals and some really nice winter footage in this video :)
For drying the cameras, I’ve been using some reusable silica gel pads for a few years now and they’re so helpful in our damp climate!
Good job Morten Hilmer !!!....
YAY! A new Morten Hilmer video! Amazing video as always, and I love what you are doing for the hospitals👍🏼
Snow, landscapes, forests & photographer, when every thing is beautiful you just love it😊❤😇
Wonderful imagery, videography and discussion of your project, Mr Hilmer, Thankyou for the tips and your enthusiasm in your work.
I always look forward for your videos
Your videos are really worthy for those who indeed head out and tackle wind, rain, and whatever nature can throw at them.
Really appreciate that you share your experiences.
I guess you had no overheating issues with the R5 in that condition. ;-)
Your video brought back some memories about my first vaction in Denmark 1994! We rentet a small house at the Limfjord and drove around that area and visited a lot of very nice spots there. We also had been to the area of that forrest and the heather.
Winter is a beautiful time for landscape photography with this strong contrasts of the white snow and the dark trees.
And if you follow the tips you gave us all at the end of this video you don't have to worry about your equipment.
Just for the photography in that weather conditions you had, you need good weather sealed equipment.
I really enjoyed the simplicity of this video, the enjoyment of winter weather, the passion for the craft, and making a difference for hospital staff and patients. I tip my hat your way.
beautiful video as always. 16:00 will be an amazing large scale wall print in B&W. Good luck
Simon is either another ex from the Greenland dog patrol or he is one of those friends who are worth their weight in gold, or both. That looked cold. I can just imagine Morten saying 'ooooh look at that, just ten minutes more...' Well done to both of you. Great project.
What a fantastic project to be involved in Morten and a great way to contribute to make the surroundings of the hospital as pleasant as possible
It looked that both of you got a wonderful day “out there”... getting the footage was totally the cherry on the cake...
Thanks for sharing!
Wow!! What a wonderful landscape and blanket of White Snow 🌨️❄️
Morten i think you are making our days....
You are really best.
I request you to bring new episodes of your Nordic Vlog life and "Photographer's Friday"......
❤️🌨️❤️
You have to respect that this man is hustling on his square space grind
Saturday morning here in Quebec, Canada. Coffee machine prepared me the perfect morning drink and during this time I open YT. What a surprise when I saw a new vid from you. Coffee and your video, can't ask for more for starting the weekend. Thanks Morten. Always a great pleasure to watch your fantastic video.
What an inspirational and great project to be working on which will hopefully help so many people. You've definitely captured the mood of that beautiful landscape! I love the way the snow transforms the landscape.
Morton, top bloke, brilliant advice, brilliant videos, keep up the good work
Beautiful scenery. Wonderful to experience with a friend. Those who get to see your finished product at the hospital will really enjoy I’m sure.
Morten, when someone hires you to shoot video footage for them, they are REALLY getting their money's worth! I love how you get different angles, drone shots, woodland footage, open country footage, afternoon, twilight, etc. So much variety will give the film makers a lot to work with and many creative options.
Thank you a lot for the tips. I have been photographing wildlife for 5 days in Poland Katowice and we have a lot of snow here. Also the temperatures are below 0 degrees Celsius and I was always worried about my equipment. Now I know what to do! At this time outside my window we have snowstorm and It has been swnowing for about 5 hours. Maybe this front will come to Denmark so be careful and standby. Of course the footage is incredibly beautiful and the project that you are working on is amazing. Greetings and everything the best!
Good luck Filip 👍 I'll hope for the snow to come here
Thanks Morten for another great video and escape from the covid lockdown!. Ontario, Canada
The Thing i give Most Attention to in this Videos is your enterior... Why is your House so beautiful 🤩
Morten, Thank you for another inspiring video and I appreciate the tips on how to care for equipment that has been frozen.
Hey Morten, i was looking to the Video and what Happens then? Yes it started snowing 😂 thank you, the first snow since.....a Long time. So i have to go to bed know, i have to get up very early to get some pictures.
Thank you for your work and your Inspiration.
I hope we will see a lot of more videos. I cant get enough of it. ✌️
Wow,
Love your videos Morten.
Your passion for wildlife photography is contagious lol.
All the best from Scotland for 2021.
Thanks
Watching your videos makes me want to set out on an adventure in a blizzard!! Love your work!
For having such a short window of snowy weather, you guys captured it perfectly!
I especially love the forest shots. Awesome as always.👍
Wonderful work Morten, as always, you impress with the art of nature photography, really love it!!!!
Thank you for sharing this info. Great resources and as usual great content..... Stay safe.🙂
The R5 definitely isn't going to overheat 😅
An amazing project and great behind the scene. Great tips for taking care of equipment in cold weather. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful work Morten. We get a lot of snow here in Green Bay, WI. It is always fun to head out and photograph in it.
Both instructive and beautiful. Your work shines, thank you!
I once foolishly changed lenses during a snow shower - a single snowflake got into the camera body and landed on the edge of the mirror. It melted almost instantly and some of the moisture got behind the layers of the mirror. Camera worked fine after that, but the mirror had a stain across one side from that point on. I got so used to that stain, I missed it for a few weeks when I upgraded to a newer camera.
Did you miss your favorite coffee cup!! Excellent winter videos! Thank you!
A brilliant video on so many levels. The video techniques and equipment care tips alone are very valuable and the footage is beautiful. Also, the presentation is very watchable. Thank you - I learned a lot and gained a good deal of 'bad' weather encouragement!
I really like the project you do for the hospitals. It's a very good idea. Awesome video once again!
Wonderfully made video again! Make me happy! Thank you so very very much for sharing all the joy and excitement from your photographic projects and visits to the unique nature of Denmark! Amazing video! Wishing you all the very best with much success with your project! Please stay both safe and healthy all the time! Take care! Wishing blessings from Sweden!
So good to be out in the forest with the two of you, even if virtually! I have hardly been out of the house and a rather plain garden for 2,5 months, another 2,5 months to go until the lockdown is lifted!
Great video Morten, as always! You are my inspiration...
Those apps are a life changer👌🏽Thank you Morten 🌹
Hey Morten loving the videos you always say it’s not about the gear but I finally got a new camera my previous camera was a old Pentax k100d from 2006 and know I’ve got my hands on a canon 70d and I’m loving it. Posting all my good photos on Instagram and tagging you. Thanks for the inspiration looking forward to the next video.
Hi Morten. This is an amazing vlog of the snowing landscape. As always, you brought us to the scene very instantly. Thank you so much.
Love having a coffee with Morten.
What a beautiful project Morten! Can't think of a more direct positive impact for a photograph/video.
Simply amazing. Such beauty in nature.
I commend you helping in healthcare - I too submitted photos to a healthcare system that is creating coloring books for patients with dementia and other issues to keep their minds active with coloring
Excellent tip putting cards and batteries face down when they’re used
Love this new video Morten! Hopefully you and Bertram can do more videos together in the future really enjoyed the previous collaboration.
Veldig spennende prosjekt dere jobber med, Morten! :) Nyttige og praktiske tips er alltid bra å få.
Top top top quality content and advices ... THANKS A LOT !!!
Que envidia le tengo a este hombre, ver esos lugares hermosos en vivo debe ser espectacular.
Excelente trabajo
You are so perfect in everything. Fan of your work.
Love the work, nice morten hilmer
Thank you both for the inspiration!
The landscape looked amazing turning all white. I hope you got some nice footage out of it. :) It just started snowing down here so this video was very fitting. :) It's probably the only snow I'll see this year though as it will all be gone tomorrow.
Hej Morten. Elsker dine videoer og specielt dine behind the scenes. Din militær baggrund skinner igennem og er helt fantastisk overført til fotolivet! Bliv endeligt ved 💪👍
Fantastic video as always, loving the inspiration, thank you!
Love your work and your passion. Keep it up. Love form India. 🙏🙏💐💐💐
I was waiting for your new video. Love to see ho you do all this. Its amazing and you make photography to the next level. Love you sir.😍😍
nice video Mr Morten Hilmer !!
Your Channel is better than Netflix :)
thank you Morten, what a great project and cause! and also the tips are appreciated :) cheers from Hungary
Great tips.........Well done.......thanks Mort
Been there and done that in my younger years both hunting and photographing and camping. Your tips for taking care of equipment were right on. One other thing I might mention: I learned to be very careful not to bring the lens of my scope sight close to my mouth when I was bringing the gun up for a shot or there would be an instantly fogged lens that would not evaporate in the cold.
Amazing video! Those scenes filmed with the drone don't even look realistic. It's looking more like moving, hyperrealistic paintings from the 17th century. Just blowed my mind.🤯
Love your work very inspiring always eagerly waiting for your videos to come out
Tips are as fantastic as the images! 👏🏻👏🏻
Im Will going to support you for what You keep doing what you love
Well done, Morten! From a guy who would rather photograph something in the Amazon, this actually inspired me. By the way, all modern Nikon lenses are sealed and nitrogen-purged, so they should never have internal condensation.
Excellent work as usual Mortin !
thank you very much.
Fantastic!!! Nature at its best excellent!!! beautiful!!!
Extremely inspiring work of yours sir!!
Always a treat, Morten. Thank you. Also, I think the youtube codec for 4k got a buff recently, everything looks so much sharper lately.
Mycket bra och trevlig video, vi har fått mycket snö här i Sverige nu.
Awesome video Morten ! You are very good at that because you just like it and you spend time for that ! I am a 13 years old amateur nature photographer from Greece !Here , in Greece , unfortunately we don't have plenty of wild animals so I have to photograph only birds ... That's okey but , I wish I would be there just for a minute ! I love nature ! I wanted to photograph a lake hawk ! Could you advise me , when it's the perfect time and what should I do to come near to me ? Thanks a lot , keep shooting 😉🖤📷
For a Swede myself it’s great to see your love for snow like this! -The true meaning of life, ha ha! I hope one day (soon) you will be able to come across the border again up here where we have plenty of the the white stuff for you to play around with. Hope to see you up here one day, Morten and your friend. For now, I have to get back outside for another battle with the shovel to see if my car is still under that big white pile at the end of the driveway?
You guys sure were testing and using the gears at extreme conditions. Fullsend. Kudos.
Jeg nyder virker dine videoer. Du er virkelig dygtig. Tak
Incredible work Morten!
Thanks for sharing the amazing work you do!
such an incredibly inspiring project
Great video once again!
Also been out taking pictures of the city i live in with the most snow since like 2006 or so. Just trying to capture the mood with using cranes to throw snow off the houses and people cross country skiing in the city-park. But there is so much and sometimes heavy snow that they actually warned people from walking in the forest or underneath trees...
But tomorrow morning i want to get out capturing some birds in the snow, i guess that makes a great contrast.
