- I am in Yellowstone National Park to spend 5 days photographing wildlife and the beautiful landscapes. The purpose of this two-week trip to America is to bring awareness to nature and the importance of taking better care of it. I am doing this through four lectures for the local schools and by sharing this series of videos.
I am here with Tim who is also a nature photographer.

✦ ABOUT THIS VIDEO
Yellowstone is the first national park in the world and for me it is a great experience to see how this is done and how nature thrives without the impact from humans.
Five days in such an enormous area is way too little, but since I had other obligations on this trip, I am so happy for these few days. It wasn't enough to follow some of the species and really spend the time needed to get amazing footage, but it was definitely enough to give me an unforgettable experience.
✦ WHO I AM.
My name is Morten Hilmer and I am a professional nature and wildlife photographer.
I am a Nikon Ambassador and I work as an ILCP photographer.
Nature conservation is very close to my heart.
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.

See you out there !

''I really have to do some landscapes photography... no, I think I am gonna put the telezoom on'' what a classic Wildlife photographer dilemma: to miss the elusive animal when changing lenses or to come home without a single landscape shot! Quality footage as always Morten, love you adventures and your pictures even more!
LOL I do what you too many times. I put my 14-14 lens on my camera to 'force' me to take some landscape photos and then I think about an animal showing up and quickly put a long lens back on the camera :) Welcome to North America. Great video, as always. Thanks for sharing.
Same here! lol
Starts off great like the usual Morten Hilmer video, but then at 21:30 it kicks up into another gear. The buffalo images are absolutely stunning and closer than usual.
Great photography trip does not always require great photographs for it to be memorable and enjoyable. The experience of observing wild wolves, bison or any animal in their undisturbed habitat is enriching alone. Couple the experience with great photography-videography and you get Morton... thanks for taking us away and sharing another experience love the vibe of this channel.
Another brilliant start to another brilliant series
As a photographer of your esteemed caliber I think it's important to speak about nature from a holistic perspective and about the loss of habitat and species! I see many photographers who take very nice photos but they don't talk much about the reality and I think that it gives the viewer a false sense that everything is great out there when the reality is so different. I am an artist and I speak about these kinds of things all the time. I certainly appreciate that you are doing this; take care and be safe out there....
Perfect timing,my evening relaxing with Morton.
Hits like button,fixes supper and sits back to enjoy the show.
I was really hoping id run into you while you were out here. Maybe next time! Either way its so cool seeing you in such a familiar place after watching you on TH-cam all these years.
Excellent as always!!! I have been waiting for this episode to appear, it was a real treat when I got home from work and there it was! Beautiful work, I especially liked the bison in the falling snow at the end. Very inspirational!
Welcome back Morten!!
oh I think you've been to Trauth Lake and now of course the Lamar Valley. we have been in Yellowstone for a total of 5 weeks.. at the end of May 2023 we will spend 4 weeks in the park. Thanks for the nice memory
Great video Morten lovely to see the Bison looking forward to seeing the Elk's
Just stunning Morten, your videos are so good you should be so proud of them! TH-cams David Attenborough!
Besides photography i have learnt to be gentle and subtle and more importantly having patience in life , especially when life is against you , with all odds and focus on goals. Many thanks Morten Hilmer
So glad that the bison have been saved from extinction a truly majestic and iconic animal amazing footage and pictures thank you Morten ❤
Fantastic a video filmed in Yellowstone National Park. I only live 3 hours from the Park!
Your stunning video and photos bring out the beauty of the Park with all its amazing wildlife.
Thank you,

Hi Hilmer. You are a great traveler and photographer! Thanks for your video!
A new video from Morten, from a beautiful place - and you know you have to give it thumbs up before you watch it so you don´t risk forgetting at the end.
The Bisons are such majestic animals. Great video, Morten.
Yellowstone or the Everglades is a lifetime dream for me. Love this! Thank you.
Thanks Morten for another great view of the wild areas . The snow looked incredibly soft. Almost need a bigger snowshoe 😉. I was surprised how soft the Bison's fur looked . looking forward to ep. 2. Stay safe
Love your enthusiasm for the Bison. Too often they get overlooked because people just want to see Wolves or Bears but the Bison are amazing and very fun to watch as well!
Thanks for sharing your adventure with us! I'm no wildlife but a landscape photographer. Besides the beautiful images of the bison I also liked seeing some of the wintery Yellowstone 🙂.
Another excellent video Morten, Thanks for sharing!
Wow - Great video, Morten!
I'm always amazed again what great adventures you have and what great pictures and videos you take! That always motivates me a lot, not to stop with wildlife photography. And the videos are also very inspiring for your own TH-cam videos, because it's not as easy as you think... 😂 I speak from my own experience. I like the shots of the bison the most. They are just fascinating and majestic animals! The park is really a great nature reserve. If I have the opportunity and the money, I definitely have to go there!
Keep up the good work, and I'm really looking forward to the next episode 👍🏼
Greetings from Germany
Hi Max, your words are 100% true! Mortens videos are so nice to enjoy!
Ps. Your channel, Max, is also great. I think it's important to support young wildlife photographers as you too. I subscribed! 😉 Keep up the good work and maybe, you Morten, can recommend Max. I think it would make him really happy!
@@wildlifenature4435 Yes, I think that would really help Max a lot if Morten recommends him! I also think he is a super young photographer who deserves more attention. Maybe you, Morten, can do an Instagram Story or a community post introducing Max 😉👍🏼
@@wildlifenature4435 Thank you so much! That's really nice to here!
@WildlifeNature Yes, Max' channel is really nice too! Please recommend him 😊
Ps. I really like your videos, Morten! Take care and keep it up!
Thanks Max.
I really enjoy your videos and I think you are doing a fantastic job.
Brilliant Morten, well worth the wait.
Ohhh Mortem I have been waiting for your next video. Thanks so much❤️
Enjoy the new venture, Morten!
All your hard work and perseverance paid off. The photographs of the bison are superb!
This is undoubtedly the best youtube channel out there.
Beautiful photos! It felt like being there, too. Wonderful episode as always.
What an amazing place Morten and those Bison are stunning creatures. So glad they were not wiped out and are thriving again. Look forward to the next video. Cheers Keith
Beautiful, Morten and Tim!
Love it! This is my home park, I'm usually shooting in the park several times a month. I'm glad that you were able to come shoot here and explore this amazing National Park. Loved this video. Keep up the great work and I know I am not the only one looking forward to episode 2 from YNP.
Thanks Morten! Feeling - as if the photographer was transported with us into the ice age. To take amazing pictures of these beautiful animals.
Your videos are beyond being just vlogs for youtube,. They invoke feeling, which in my mind makes them true art. Another inspirational and motivational piece of art Morten
Thanks for this lovely peaceful content.
Сәттіліктер тілеймін достар!
beautiful. Yellowstone in winter is one of my "bucket list" items.
You need to spend a season in Yellowstone and not just a few weeks. Welcome to America.
So good to see you back just fantastic
Awesome video as always, Morten! Thanks for sharing this short and great documentaries! Hope to see more videos from you coming through!
Nice video. The last seconds with the footage of bison and snow in the air were amazing. Keep doing your good work, thanks for sharing.
This is a simple, wonderful trip! Thanks for bringing us along! Great images!
Another amazing one Morten! Look forward to the next episode!
27:40 breathtaking just felt like a dream
Great video, Morten. Keep up the good work!
That was cool 😊Wonderful views ,it was very nice shot video .
What a fantastic adventure in such a beautiful park.
Bless your heart ❤️ boys. This former military 🪖 gal doesn't do winter. I bow to you both.
Hello Morten, thanks for the very good Video and the very good shot. Mandy thanks from Germany
I could watch your videos all day long, such beautiful places and animals and your gentle approach to nature. Thank you Morten.
Greetings from Portugal. Great video and great shots from in Yellow Stone National Park.
The war against wolves is so threatening to the park’s wolf packs you are fortunate to come to Yellowstone and see them. We have no idea what will happen in the near future.
Would be awesome if your next trip you met with Steve Mattheis too. You two would have a great time as well I'm sure. Great video as always and welcome to America.
Amazing adventure! Very cool video! Thank you!
Great videos, Morten. The Fall in Grand Tetons is beautiful and definitely worth a trip. Great for wildlife and landscapes.
Awesome Morten, welcome back! Look fwd to the next episode 👍
Fantastic video Morten!! Every time I watch one of your videos I live an adventure with you, so inspiring! Thanks for showing us the wonders of wild nature!
Absolutely made our evening when we were sitting down to dinner and got the notification you had uploaded a new video Morten. We got the washing up done quickly and have just sat down and as always, thoroughly enjoyed another inspiring episode which was the highlight of our evening. Thank you for your fantastic work. Really looking forward to episode 2.
Epic Adventures. Thanks for sharing these wonderful experiences. Amazing as always!!
We should all be grateful these magnificent animals are still here and slowly growing in numbers.
Can only imagine what a sight to see the huge herds of bison before the white man came to this country.
Thanks for sharing again Morten, looking forward to seeing the rest of the episodes.
Stay safe 🇦🇺
Stunning footage & photos as always, Morten. Absolutely beautiful. I once drove through a herd of bison in Custer National Park in South Dakota. They are amazing, awe-inspiring animals. Seeing them up-close is breath-taking.
When I saw that you were headed to Yellowstone to photograph wolves, I was so looking forward to see this video. We spent three weeks in Yellowstone in the Lamar and Hayden Valleys photographing Bison and Wolves. For my wife and myself it was an adventure of a Lifetime and seeing your video in Lamar Valley brought back fond memories. Thank you for sharing your adventure!
I spent a month there trying to catch them once. You have to hike in, commit to a hide/bluff, stay there all day, and maybe, after a week, you might get lucky enough to get one within 150-200 yrds. Otherwise enjoy views like Mortens from the road of them a mile away. They will chase elk right through traffic though.
Finally he's back! What a crazy video Morten! Really makes one appreciate the little beauties in life that we so often overlook. 😍
Greetings from Scotland. Stunning captures thanks
So happy to see your video come up, Morten. I'm always looking forward to the next one.
This takes me back. Thanks for the footage and looking forward to the next episodes!
Hi Morten been waiting for this video I'm so glad i looked for you today great photography as usual your photography and enthusiasm are just amazing and you're story telling is amazing thank you for taking me with you
Waiting for your next video ❤
Great pictures - as usual! I can’t wait for Part 2.
The beauty of Yellowstone, love the video 👍😎👍
I love seeing your perspective of the park and the animals in it. I was very excited to see you travel to the US.
You would most likely be disappointed with Yellowstone in the summer. It’s so insanely crowded and hard to get away from folks. Still very fun. I have never gone in the winter and only live a few hours away. I need to do that for sure
Thank you. Really enjoy your work and passion for wildlife and nature. A true inspiration. Thanks again. Stay well and safe travels. All the very best. Cheers. 👍📷😎
Great video Morten.. Thanks for sharing. Waiting for the next episodes.
great stuff. this was very intriguing. great watch . would be a dream trip for me!
Absolutely stunning ! Tim and you are lucky men 😃
Another fine adventure, Morten. Glad to see you photographing in the U.S.
Wunderschöne und majestätische Tiere, die genau wissen, dass Sie dir vertrauen klönnen - tolle Aufnahmen 👍
Wow - what a trip. It looks amazing.
I’ve been wondering where you were. Good to see you back.
Awesome video Morten - Yellowstone looks like such an amazing locaton! That made me laugh at 09:22 - definitely been in the same situation where you just have this strong feeling that if you leave that wide lens on there, some kind of wildife is going to suddenly pop up in front of you and you might miss it!! Looking forward to the next episodes :)
Amazing footage of the bison! Such beautiful animals and what a dream it must have been to be so close to them ☺️ looking forward to seeing the next episode!
Amazing sir. Waiting for the next part
If anyone is used to photographing wildlife in snow, and doing so very well, it's you. But here you were in a new place - a different continent, no less. Out of our element it is always different. Sometimes difficult. But the challenges of an unusual place also bring the childlike wonder and excitement of something new. That shone through, Morten, and you produced not only beautiful photos but another touching and evocative piece of film. Like anyone who is lucky enough to follow your endeavours, I always enjoy your videos and draw huge inspiration from them, but it's also great to see you enjoying new experiences like this. Excellent stuff, as always.
Thats right in my backyard. Been all over that country in and out of the park. More country around there than you could see in a lifetime.
Wonderful.
Thank you for sharing MR Morten
Excellent, I love Yellowstone glad you made the trip. Yellowstone and Grand Tetons are fantastic for photography, I have been there 7 times in the last 5 years. Great videos and pictures as usual
Great work Morten! Love the Hilleberg tents, not used to see you use a Keron tent. And that Z9 seems awesome.
Wondrous captures in your travels. Yellowstone is my favorite destination for seeing the wildlife and scenery. Too much to explain and recorded memories never give it the due justice it deserves. Happy following your adventure.
Thanks again for this beautiful video! As always, you are inspiring!
Its on my bucket list to visit that extremely large park! Awesome!
So glad to see you again! I was wondering where'd you gone. Glad you're enjoying Yellowstone in the winter. Awesome video of the bison and landscape. Thank you, Morten.
The was great Morten. My daughter and I did back-country hiking and camping at Yellowstone in the fall and did not need a telephoto for the bison. In fact a wide-angle was more appropriate since they won’t give us any peace while having breakfast and forced us to dump our coffee and hide behind the biggest tree we could find.
Wow ...amazing nature, Wonderful animals. Thank you for the video
you are my hero!!!
for now i'm going make photos in the forest just next to my house but in the future, i hope to go in the place like this.
The quality of your videos are insane, very professional work! Great job Morten!
One of best in World
Bears? No tripwire?
Been waiting for a new video, always lifts the spirit 🙏
Stunning images.
Your objective is to photograph the wolf... That's incredible! If you ever want to have a good (and I mean "GOOD" read, check out Farley Mowat - Never cry wolf) - you'll be happy you did.
