Photography Helped Me Through a Stressful Time

  • This is episode 8 in my series about my daily life as a wildlife photographer.
    Hi everyone. It feels like forever since I have shared my daily life with you. I have simply been too busy with lectures, assignments, events and a lot of other things. To be completely honest it has been too stressful.
    Luckily nature photography can do more than adding beautiful photos and memories to the archive - it is the best cure, when I need to reconnect with myself and find my zen.
    This video is most of all a life update catching up with the past 2 month, and I am looking forward to sharing my future adventures with you.
    See you out there...

    Morten, no words... Honestly. You are the only TH-camr that I can watch a full 50 minute video of without skipping a minut. Honestly amazing. Keep doing what you're doing already, you're a big inspiration for me

      I came here to echo this exact same thought. I'm about to go embark on my own microcosm of a journey to photograph and I am watching this video for inspiration.

    If there's something you can always count on, it's nature. Whenever I feel down or life is especially turbulent, I take some time to get outside and remind myself what's really important. As an artist and creator, I like to take my sketchbook, my journal, and my camera and go for long walks, taking in the magical beauty that is everywhere. Notice the often overlooked things, watch the beautiful creatures living their own lives completely separate from your own, open your ears to the sounds, feel the ground on your feet, and smell the fresh air (hopefully it's a pleasant smell). At the end of the day, nature is the most powerful thing in existence and we must remember that. ❤🌿

    Morten in the relatively short period of time we have spent exploring and photographing together, I have learnt so much from your style, approach and genuine attention to detail.
    I’m proud to know you and even call you a great friend.
    I can not wait to see where this year takes you and maybe just maybe I’ll tag along too
    See you soon !

      Take care Ricci and see you out there…

    @hanklevesque426 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    So after watching this, my wife, who’s not a photographer but studies nature, immediately said “Let’s watch it again!” That’s indicative of the quality of your videos Morten. As much work as it is to produce, your work is appreciated. Thanks.

    Your films are better than most nature documentaries that comes from TV.
    Also after seeing your films I feel need to check my gear and plan next trip to wilderness.
    Music that You use is awesome, not that regular free TH-cam music s#@*.
    I hope we see lot's of Your films this year!

  • @JeffandLeslie
    @JeffandLeslie ปีที่แล้ว +12

    Morten, I can relate to what you were saying. Before I retired, I had a very stressful job and getting out in the woods with my camera was one of the few things that kept me sane and centered. Now that I'm retired, being out in the woods with my camera is just for the joy of being out in the woods. Very little life stress now but I still cherish every moment on the trail with camera in hand. Thank you for sharing this video with us. PS: you have a heater in your hide. That's just not fair. (just joking, wish I had a heater a couple weeks ago when it wan -20F).

    There is a magic about being out in nature. Go out there and be very quiet. You will forget about your self and only think of nature and the sounds of life that it can make. Great job Morten!
