- Join me behind the scenes on this evening of wildlife photography, deer stalking and amazing experiences in nature.
What was ment to be a relaxing trip to the forest ends up being an exciting and very late evening full of wildlife photography, and once again I got a lesson in always to expect the unexpected when dealing with nature!
In Wildlife Photography - Roe deer, I am doing my my vlog in the forest close to where I live. After a long period with a callender full of lectures, photo exhibitions, photo books to send and stuff like that, it is finally time to get out to discover nature and to do some wildlife photography.
Actually I did not expect anything of this day, when I packed the Nikon camera, the lenses and a bottle of coffee, but once again nature surprised me.
Luckily I had my Nikon D5 and the big 600mm f/4 telephoto lens and a camouflage jacket in my photo bag, so I was kind of prepared, if something exciting appeared!
It was such an amazing experience to sit out there when the darkness desaturated nature and the deer slowly walked away over the little hill, and I was left alone - once again humbled by the experience nature gave me.

••• WHO I AM •••
My name is Morten Hilmer and I am a professional nature and wildlife photographer. In this series of behind the scenes vlogs I want to share my fascination of nature with you and invite you behind the scene when I am out photographing the fascinating wildlife, the stunning landscapes and the wild nature. I work as a ILCP photographer, and nature conservation is very close to my heart.
For me nature photography is all about sharing the unique experiences and to put awareness to nature conservation. Furthermore my goal is to inspire as many as possible to get out and experience the true beauty of nature.
“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. I have spent two further years in the northern parts of Greenland meeting the local people and working on photography projects. My driving force is a sense of adventure and my fascination for nature, and my curiosity and empathy for other cultures has led me to many remote regions.”
Read more about my time in the Sirius Dogsled Patrol: www.bbc.com/earth/story/201602...
Beside the many publications my photographs has been awarded in the Wildlife photographer of the year and European Wildlife photographer of the year photo competitions.
In spring 2017 I published my book Silence of the North: shop.mortenhilmer.com/product...
See you out there !
All the best
Morten Hilmer
Morten Please Please Please dont ever change the way you do these videos. it's the moments of distraction that make them so real, just as if we were there with you
in a week of high stress fighting for my job watching this i now feel calm and at ease with the world. seeing that dear made me see its moments like this that matter
thank you for sharing this moment with us all, can't wait for the next adventure, stay safe, Dave
Thank you for such an encouraging and nice comment Dave:) I really appreciate.
Totaly agree.
yeah!
Love to watch his videos
"...because I was vlogging it, I didn't get the picture. I missed that shot. But it doesn't matter, because you got it, you got to see that moment..."
As I've said before, your energy is infectious and that quote just shows how much you care about your viewers. Excellent video!

Exactly. Agree
Your raw enthusiasm for the outdoors without any “disruption” of your natural environment is infectious! Peaceful, serene and again very informative. Thanks Morten. I don’t have a gillie suit but have camo clothes and equipment covers. My wife laughs at me but I was able to photograph a family of pileated woodpeckers this spring. I even had one land on a tree 2 m away! No pictures because I didn’t want to scare it when I moved, but an amazing experience all the same.
That is so kind of you to write such an awesome comment Randy:) Oh yes there it was - disruption and not disturbtion - that is probably not even a word... Yes dressing up in camo is always a lot of fun for everyone;) I once forgot to take it off on the public road on my way home!!!
My wife always laughs at me with my camouflage on 😂
I have goosebumps watching this. How lucky you were, Morten, to have been granted TWO visits by that beautiful animal! It's like an angelic spirit sent by Mother Nature. Your heart must have been pounding and your breath taken away!
Sounds like you know exactly how it feels Brian - It was absolutely awesome. Thanks so much for letting me know you like it:)
Wow, simply wow! A stunning video. Well said Brian. I couldn't have said it better. I doubt it wasn't only Morten's heart beating fast, because mine certainly was. What a beautiful and emotional video and what a place to live...I'm so jealous!
very nice brother 👍 Amazing nature
I really appreciate the work you put in to bringing wildlife to us. I know it's your passion but as a new photographer whenever I now see a photo of wildlife, I have deep appreciation for whoever took that photo. I can't thank you enough for what you do. I am soooo inspired to do the same.
Thank you Morten for these gifts of your time and talent. I too, paused the video, grabbed coffee, and watched sitting very still in my chair in anticipation of the seconds to come. Your enthusiasm and passion is passed to us byway of your expressions and voice, along side of this melting soundtrack you've been using.
I'm so very grateful.
Woke up this morning thinking "I'm in the mood for watching Mortens videos all day..wonder if he'll upload" my wish came true haha
So great to hear Ryan - I really hope you will like the new video even though it is quite long:)
Morten Hilmer Yes I get lots of inspiration because this is where I see myself when I'm older :)
This is ASMR for photographers.Love how peaceful these videos are.
My favorite Wildlife Photographer did it again, keep it up
brother you are an example to me with all my heart I wish you the best you are great Greetings from Mexico
Great film thanks for sharing 👍❤️
Thank you Mr. Martin, now I understand why it is much more important to transfer life to an image than to be nervous about the sharpness of the image.
You must be one of the nicest people around. The Bob Ross of wildlife photography.
Serenity. That's the word for this video. I see deer frequently where I live but I was just as entranced watching this. How is that!!?
This is like a lovestory between you and the nature.
WOW!!! It's so inspiring watch you beyond the camera. Thanks Morten for sharing all of this beauty with us!
Mortem, you have so much respect for wildlife.
Finally I have found someone that relates to me. I love being outside in the forest taking photos.
Love how soothing you videos are. It literally distresses me. Thanks Morten !
Morten, your videos are inspiring. I greatly appreciate how much you share about your absolute love for nature and wild animals, and the thrill that you get when you get to capture such beautiful moments. It's also great to see that you are so careful as to not disturb the natural habitat, and leave undetected. Cheers and peace to you. Thanks.
Thank you so much for your nice comment :)
Thank you very much for sharing this with us
I live in india and whenever I go to nearby hill i see and hear peacocks and it's amazing. I can't imagine how you feel doing this. Thanks for the experience
Watching your videos have made me realize the true meaning of being a photographer. Thank you for sharing this amazing vlog! Mother-nature is mesmerizing.
Thanks for sharing your passion with us.
Truly wonderful! So lucky to have a back garden like that!
Great film again Morten what a beautiful animal you were privileged to watch and your love for it not to disturb it I was holding my breath with you and the emotion I felt just watching I cannot imagine the joy you must have felt when she came toward you, the information films are good but these are my favourites thank you.
What a beautiful place you live and share with the animals. Thanks so much for sharing that moment!
Everytime you manage to amaze me. Thank you for sharing these moments.
This world gives us happiness, just by being aware..
thanks Morten, for letting us in.
Morton you capture the essence of wildlife photography perfectly ! Thanks for taking us along on your adventure !!!
You sound so sincere and real in your videos. I feel like everything you say comes from the heart. Best photography channel on TH-cam by far.
Morten is always thrilled to see your videos clicking the aminais. We can see the glitter of his eyes, the stasis of his satisfaction to be there at that moment. Congratulations, a big hug from Brazil.
A wonderful, wonderful moment !!!!
Another brilliant film. Days like this are wonderful, I had an amazing experience with Pied Flycatchers last weekend. These moments live with us forever.
Don't know why, but your best videos are when you are in that forest! Thank you Morten!
Im glad you got to get out and enjoy nature, as it enjoyed you and gave you that great view! You really taught me and showed how respectful wildlife and nature should be treated, thank you morten! just an outstanding video as always!
Simply amazing! Thanks for sharing this moment!
I just had today time to watch all your last vlogs/videos. I find this is one of the really emotional ones. I like the way you let me/us be part of your big and small expeditions and sharing your love to nature. All these emotional moments you share by also respecting nature. Thank you so much for this wonderful afternoon I had with lots of coffee watching your vlogs about Finland, photography tips and so on. Keep it the way you do it, Morten! Thank you so much! Have a great weekend.
Watched it a 2nd time ... Great! :-)
You just capture a moment which is touching with true nature. I love it. Thanks.
Great to watch! For me Roe are the prettiest deer, and I love to try and photograph them.
Wow, just wow! Just when you think it couldn't get any better the beautiful deer came back. I could seriously watch you roam around in the woods for hours. Even before the deer arrived the video was amazing. Thank you again for taking us on your adventures.
Thank you so much Joseph:)
Brilliant Morten thanks for sharing .
Beautiful beautiful beautiful! Wonderful video. Exquisite footage. Outstanding moments through it all. Wonderful music. Thx, Morten.
It's so peaceful ! Thx Morten what a wonderful work!
Your videos are all wonderful and relaxing. Please don't stop making them.
Awesome! Thanks Morten.
i have just returned from the Farne Islands today not far from where i live photographing all the puffins and sea birds and the grey seals there. Coming home to a 27 minute long Morten video is the perfect way to top off a wildlife photography filled day! Also Morten if you are ever in the north east of England i highly recommend the Farne Islands, they have been noted by Sir David Attenborough as his favourite place to view wildlife in the UK and i'm sure you would absolutely love it! Awesome video as always my friend.
Beautiful story and really cool footage, Morten!
I wish everyone was so respectful of nature as you are. That was really nice to see, and you set a good example for other photographers. I also liked what you said about how you don't really "own" your land, you just live there. I think that's a healthy attitude, because we're all just visiting for a short time. Unfortunately, where I live, the culture is very different, and there is a strong feeling of ownership over the land - so much so that everything is fenced in, and there are often many unfriendly warnings to other people and little respect for nature. I'm glad that in Scandinavia, at least, that is not the case. You live in a very beautiful place.
I just hope your neighbors never run into you in that camouflage, otherwise they might have a heart attack!!
Hi Jon and thanks for your nice comment. Everything here is also in fence but only because of the cows:) I think people are very different when it comes to owning land - also here in Denmark. But yes I do respect nature a lot, and i don't feel I own anything.
My favorite wildlife photographer enthralls me again with another great video - brilliant Morten 👏😍
Stunning video Morten. With the respect you show to nature and her creatures you deserve to get the best wildlife images. Wish more people were like you.
You are living my dream. Beautiful place you live in. Thankyou for sharing this.
disturbtion.
love it- new word to add to my vocabulary.
What a truly amazing place you have,just love your enthusiasm for photography and wildlife.wish there were more people in the world like you.keep up the good work
Just lovely mate.
You are an amazing photographer, a brilliant naturalist but most of all a phenomenal human being who has awesome philosophies about nature and wildlife. Watching your videos never loses its impact, charm wow factor, they are all amazing.
A couple of years ago I was photographing deer in Wales, I had walked about 100 metres from the car and I got some shots I was really pleased with. When the light went I decided to start making my way back to the car which was about 30 minutes plus walk for me. I was just making my way down a hill when I came face to face with a young stag. I have no idea how long we were there looking at each other, but I'm sure the deer thought this panting creature walking in a very strange way can’t possible be human. A truly magic moment and one I’m not sure I would have had but for my disabilities.
This was another amazing video, really enjoyed it. Thank you for uploading it and thank you for starting this channel.
Love it - Love these raw videos, nice work Morten!
Morten my friend, again you have done an amazing job. I am so glad you were able to get out and take some photos. Thank you so very much for taking the time and all the hard work you do to share with all of us. Be safe my friend and thanks again for sharing.
Nok en super historie fra "rett rundt hjørnet"..for meg utrolig inspirerende.. Tusen takk Morten..!!
One of the best blogs I've ever seen, love your passion for wildlife, I'm exactly the same, sometimes I go into the woods and just sit there, sure I've missed some great shots but at least I've seen it, it's just great to be able to get out with the wildlife as I'm disabled, I'm thankful for every day that nature gives me.
Sometimes I would like to say a lot of cool things to Morten, but........... with this videos, the silence is taking me out trying to feel all those moments. Thanks Morten for all this hard work. I know you are a "solitary wolf" when you are in the outdoors so the last video how to publish your work was really cool. A lot of work behind the scenes. Thank you so much for sharing your life, your moments with all of us and being so humble.
Whew!!! This is work! You're nearly hypnotic.
You're not only a "high caliber" photographer, but you are also a performer.
I finish watching some of your content, and I have to go for a short walk, just to relax a bit.
Morten, you may not realize it but this is content that can be found NOWHERE... it is "off the charts" fabulous.
Keep 'em coming.
Peaceful place and peaceful video ❤️❤️😍
Great vlog thanks for sharing you experience with us.
Quite a long a video Morten, so I made myself a cup of tee and sit down to enjoy it. Great video, great content, I like how respectful you are with nature, thanks for sharing!
Just epic thank you for sharing your experience brilliant
Great video Morten! Really appreciate that you explain how you try to leave as quietly as you came without disturbing the wildlife 👌
This whole channel and everyone here is so wholesome, its awesome
Epic Morten! When the deer is walking toward you..AWESOME! Then comes back out to eat....wow! Thanks so much for taking us along my friend!
Wonderful experience and Time! Wildlife photography is one of the great excitement!
"Disturption" Love it. Made me laugh. Love the videos.
Absolutely amazing to watch, thank you for taking us along ✌

Always lovely and inspiring 👍👍👍

The best location, sir. Nice all.., 👌
Very absorbing film as always 👍🏻

Recently discovered your work and I cant thankyou enough for the joy you bring to my creative journey..
Epic Morten , you are just brilliant, nothing else to say!
Thanks for sharing, Morten. What an awesome experience you had. Im trying to get the time and luck to get some good pictures of the wild rabbits around here.
Hey Morten, I don’t know if you would read this, But, Really I can’t express in words how much I have started liking your videos, seriously it is infectious. Rightly said “it doesn’t matter.... “once you start feeling the beauty of nature just be with it live the life for that moment. The best memories are those which we capture in our minds, and some of-course we manage with our cameras.
I love the way you make this videos, I can picture myself in there with you..I feel your angsite and the thrill, it's such a great feel. Thanks for this one , roedeer are so great to capture
Wonderful video Morten. I love your respect for nature...it's not always about just getting the shot, but about being absorbed by your surroundings and and then leaving it undisturbed. Well done! Also, you are very blessed to live where you do - but, it's obvious you are very thankful for that blessing. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks a lot for such a wonderful comment. I really really appreciate :)
What a great video! Thank you!
Excellent footage again Morten, amazing location you have. Living your dream for sure.
Please keep up the great posts and photography.
Absolutely incredible. Your energy. Your humbleness. Keep it up man, beautiful video.
I love what you said and I was shocked not too many people say that is not my land they called this awareness💯
Nice work....,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!My heart was pounding
Another magical video. I was holding my breath as the deer walked out to you.
U're so inspiring!! This vlog gave me a whole new insight about wildlife photography. Thank you Morten and please keep uploading more videos.
absolutely fantastic experience, thanks 🙏🏼
i really love watching wildlife photography.... from Phil.
Absolutely nice relaxing vlog to watch Morten. I wish I had a backyard like that. I think I would have spent every evening out there.
Thank you for sharing your paradise. How lucky is nature on this piece of land which you share. What an inspiration how to live. Best regards from 🇨🇦
Great story! And I feel your excitement of being near a wild animal as I've also experienced it a few times. It's when your heart begins pumping faster, you're holding your breath and feeling a nervous tremor in the stomach and sometimes fear if the animal is big enough.
