- Sometimes you don't need to travel to the end of the world to get a great experiences with your camera - maybe the adventure actually starts in your backyard.
This time I am on a 2-day photo adventure close to where I live, and during this time, I am trying to capture some great moments using different photography technics.
I am photographing birds in flight, wildlife in very low light and working with slow shutter speeds to capture the movements of the waves on the beach at night.
Recipe on the Danish national dish I am making in the video is further down the description.
Enjoy watching.
See you out there...

🍎 RECIPE:
"Stegt Flæsk med Persillesovs"
Fried Pork Belly and parsley sauce - an old traditional pork dish and everyday meal.
Fried Pork Belly with parsley sauce - is a genuine old rural dish that is orientated from the rustic Danish country kitchen from around the middle of the 1700s. Frying pork belly slices has been known since the Stone Age about 3-400 B.C. - and just as long - as peasants and hunters living in the Stone Age - have had pigs as their livestock. In the beginning of the 1800s the rural country kitchen added potatoes and white sauce and parsley to the fried pork belly slices - and the dish became one of the Danes most favorite and popular meals.
Ingredients:
1000 g - Free range Pork belly in slices (unsalted)
1 kg - Organic Potatoes (new)
50 g - Organic Danish Butter
4 tablespoons - Wheat flour
4 dl - Organic Milk 3,5%
1 dl - Whipping Cream
1-2 dl - Chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon - Nutmeg - if preferred
Salt (according to taste)
Pepper (according to taste)
Step-by-step:
Prepare the Pork Belly:
Cut the pork belly in 5-6 mm thick slices - then dry the slices on kitchen roll towel for a while. Season the slices with salt and pepper before frying.
Potatoes and Parsley:
Start peeling the potatoes. Put them in a pot - and cover them with cold water. Boil the potatoes for 15-20 minutes. You can leave the skin on - if you prefer. Especially "new" potatoes of the season with very thin tender - white skin. Chop the parsley into pieces.Some parsley for the sauce and some for decoration.
The Parsley Sauce:
Make a butter ball of butter and flour and stir continuously - while melting in the sauce pot - and until the mixture is turned into a consistent mass. Ad little milk and stir. Do not boil the sauce. Repeat until the sauce has the consistency that you favour. Not to thick and not to light.
You will end up having prepared a kind of white “béchamel sauce”. Add the whipping cream and taste the sauce. Put nutmeg in - if preferred. Then add all the chopped parsley - and season to taste with salt and pepper - while stirring. Let the sauce simmer for 5-10 minutes - so the ingredients are stirred and mixed together - while sucking up flavour.
Fry the pork belly:
Fry the pork belly slices for almost 2 minutes on each side on a hot pan with moderate heat until they seam crispy and with a golden surface. Dry them again on kitchen roll towel - where some of the fat can drain - and keep the fried pork belly slices warm in an oven until serving.
Oven or Grill
One can also put the pork belly in the heated 200° oven and fry for 20 minutes - while turning the slices after half the roasting time. In the summertime it is quicker to grill the pork belly slices on a well heated charcoal grill.
Serving the National Dish
Put the lukewarm potatoes on a warm plate - arrange the fried pork belly strips - then pour the warm temperate parsley sauce over the potatoes. Sprinkle some fresh chopped parsley over the dish - and serve.

Enjoy:)
nobody knows how much effort people put in videos like this, the differents angles, captures, put the camera 4-5 times just for one shot. This is what art means
Add also the editing part which can be very time consuming, finding the right music etc.
It's amazing and inspiring to see how much one person can do with a passion! 🙌🏽
Who wouldn't want to just travel around with Morten, watching and learning from him, listening to his energy and excitement for life and what is living, and of course, enjoying his food...?
Perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Coffee and a Morten video!
I wish we could get you here Morten! We have so many sea birds, land birds, whales, seals, dolphins and epic water views on the private island in WA State! Highest bird count here per the size of this island in WA State. That is why I need to get a big zoom lens! A Bald Eagles nest below our home and I see at least 12 different birds just in my yard every day. Last night an eagle flew bout 5 feet from my head right over me out back of our home! Magnificent!
Adventure along with you is always very pleasant for me, I enjoyed so much when you tell Have a cup of Coffee.
Hope someday I come Denmark to meet with you for a cup of Coffee. Now being ready to go with you on another Adventure.
Nothing Like a Morten video to bring light into my Sunday morning! His zest for photography and his lifestyle approach to his passion always reinvigorates my fire to get out and make photos.
I fully agree with you on that
This is so encouraging to read. Thank you so much for such positive feedback:)
I watch your videos all the time. Has helped my photography too. @@MortenHilmer
"Spend some good time with a friend, with a camera, a fishing rod and a fire". Words to live by...thank you Morten.
There are two types of danish people. Those who LOVE "Stegt flæsk med persillesovs" and those who are wrong :) :) :) Living in Sweden this is one of the "must have" every time I'm back in Denmark. Thank you for a great video!
That dish is amazing
Love the simplicity of time with a friend - fishing, fire and photos. That is gold for the heart. And it is what we don't do often enough.
Taking care of the little snake is so lovely.
Cooking, photography, adventure and beautiful sights all in one video.
Hi Morten! At the moment this is my last day of my holiday in the North-Jytland, Løgstør-region. We have visited Thy National Park and Rold Skov (did the Rebild Bakker Trail). I really love your country, it is awesome! We found it difficult to find some animals / birds, but nevertheless, we enjoyed our holiday! I'm quite sure we will visit Denmark again, and we will pay you a visit if you're home. When we get home, I'm sure I will cook your favourite recipe, thanks for sharing! Keep up your great photography and awesome TH-cam-videos! Med venlig hilsen, Sylvia and William (edit: we also visited the nearby lake of Vilsted Sø, currently 2 ospreys and a white-tailed eagle are there!!).
Morten your living the perfect life
Morten is all set for a new venture 👨🍳Hilmer's Natural Gourmet 19:53 # 21:48 🐍adventures that shirt encounters. The love that Morten pours into his work 🤗 and kind enough to share with all of us. ....🥂more to come & Simon as well. Thank You
I am so glad you like the video - and the cooking;)
I don’t need anything else than a cup of coffee and a video of Morten to bring light in a sad and rainy day! Thank you Morten for this precious moment

Thank you for your very kind words. I really appreciate:)
Morten is what I call the ultimate photographer he has so much passion for what he does. Look forward to your next video
Thank you Morten, another great video. Just to sit and watch your video for 40 minutes is great for peace of mind and an escape from all the problems in the world, thank you again for all your hard work.
Brilliant video. Cooking AND photography, my two favourite things :)
Morten, you just know how to make a film. It's brilliant. I've only just joined you, but I'm looking forward to watching previous vlogs and you're new releases. Excellent.
I have been photographing for more than 60 years, Morten, and I'm proud to say that I have more world class memories than I world class photos. I really was hoping you would catch some fish, though. And if you had had some Guinness to go with the fried fish that would have been perfect. Thanks for having me along. One more thing, I love what you had for breakfast, but I usually put the gravy on a bit of buttered toast and maybe scramble a couple of eggs, too, to go with the bacon and potatoes.
What can't you do Morten? Mesmerizing!! From photography, fishing, harvesting wild edible plants, cooking for yourself plus others, carving spoons out of wood, camping, fires out and in your home...means you get your own firewood too! Topping it all off, world class photographer? I don't see anyone else display this type of well rounded natural style life! A huge WOW! We call our own areas like this cliffs on the small island live on!
Really enjoyable video Morten! There’s lots to find close to home when you look for it.👍
What a splendid Sunday evening with a Morten Hilmer video! Relaxing, lovely and so very enjoyable. Thank you, Morten 😍 Tusen tack också för receptet av den nationella maträtten!
My husband and I especially enjoyed this episode. We felt like you took us along on holiday. So beautifully paced, so relaxing. Thank you

You need to come to Norfolk Morten - we have cliffs, sea, rivers, canals, hills, countryside and more! You would love it here ❤
Great adventure! Thanks for taking me along!
I am 50 yrs old. I’ve been interested in photography for a long time. I’ve become more serious in the last few years, maybe even obsessed. Morten, you are without a doubt, my biggest inspiration! Thank you so much for what you do!!
I really like the photo of the rabbit on the road, it's a very good moment

Mr. Hilmer,
Many thanks to you for all your great videos. You always inspire me to go out and try to make great photos.

So wonderful to watch! Your true love of nature shines in your photography and videos, Morten. Thank you!
Yup come home at times with no photo's ........ but when you get them, they are spectacular. Have been watching you lots as you get nice shots that keep me coming back. Very well done with all of it.
This video pure inspiration for me. I want to take my camera back out of the bag and go shooting again. Thank you, Morten, for doing what you ding for us, and for the passion of photography.
Morten you’re a hero helping out that little snake.❤
This is what life is all about!
Good to see you on the bike Morten! I usually ride my bike to the scene where I want to do some photographing and people do not understand the struggle when you need to carry your wildlife gear in your backpack, on a bike :D
Yes it is very nice to being able to see better and also to feel the air and the smells of nature.
Morten it was nice to see you and Simon catching up and spending some time together. I hope you were able to capture some beautiful photos. I always enjoy your videos.
Nature, adventure, photography. It is pulling out the deepest wishes. Thank you for your video, Morten.
Thanks for the recipe. I will definitely try this. Really appreciate this video. Totally enjoyed it.
I really hope you will like it as much as I do. It is such a great tasting dish. Just remember to use new potatoes and a lot of parsley. Do not make the gravy too thin - it has to really stick to the potatoes:)
Nydelig aftenstemning! Thank you again for the enthusiasm you bring with your lovely videos.
if that was a Garter Snake 21:57 I literally kissed one of those today in the forest, on my hammock, in celebration of her new skin LOL (I have footage).. today was also my 6th day in a row documenting the life of that same snake - which I have been since I found her in September 2023 🐍🌿
its nice to see you return back to this bird cliff, last time you were there, I was in New Zealand - now I am in New Brunswick, Canada.
That bird cliff! We know, you went there several times and took pics/vid. Unique landscape. And - no tourists;)
Nice to see Morten, his good friend, and little Bjorn!!
It’s very hard to have a better day. Thanks Morten!
Fascinating video and beautiful views 👍🙋
These videos are just brilliant. You inspired me to wildlife photography and to connect with nature. Thank you for sharing, I know It's not easy at all. 😅
Hi wildlife photography... Amazing photographer morten ❤❤❤

Perfect Sunday afternoon cup of tea and morten, that wildlife gets more hansom every day haha
Thank you, good film as always. Stay well and safe travels. All the best. 👍📷😎
Classic Danish meal. Delicious.
"Speaking local cows dialect" is one of the most hilarious moments on your channel!🤣
Most enjoyable video Morten I've been checking regularly for new uploads and was delighted to catch this video just in time for my Scottish dinner of fish and chips and a cold beer.
So nice to hear:) Enjoy your meal - I love fish and chips, and I get it every time I am in Scotland.
That snake is vipera berus. I did not know that they are also in Denmark. Here they are common at higher altitudes. I greet you, nice video. 👋
Great to see you out in the local wilderness with Simon. Hope you are well my friend.
Also cook as well as photographer,great Morten,beautiful video and beautiful location in the evening at the beach,keep it up Morten number 1💪💪💪

Enjoyable video - and well done for helping the snake
Thank you for sharing your adventure I agree you need to go far to make photos.
Great stuff Morten!
That was a great video - The coastline is really beautiful! The coffee was already ready when i saw that a new video was uploaded - what a great timing 😉. I planning to go out this evening to capture some nature moments! Hope the sky will break up a little 🤞 - Thx for the great video Morten. Best regards.
Wonderful video, as always!. We photographers all relate to your comment about mostly coming home empty handed. Just like hunting -- except when we have a good day it's kinder to the animals
Nature's poetry in motion. Thank you, Morten! 🍻😊. from Canada
You are best love from Pakistan ❤️
Nice and relaxing video. I have been to Denmark a few times, renting a "sommerhuse". Many years ago now. :) Just moved back to Finnmark, way up north in Norway, after 1 year in Telemark. I drove about 2400km through Norway, over many mountains and down numerous valleys. I saw a bit of wildlife, mostly during the nights. The stranges one was when I was driving along a flooded river, in the middle of the night. Suddenly there was this animal waddeling in front of the car. I thought it was a badger at first, but it was more brownish and then I spotted the tail... It was a beaver on the road, definetly not in a hurry. It turned its' head and looked at me, with absolutely no plan of moving out of the way. I just drove past it very slowly. I've seen beavers in lakes and rivers, but never on the road. But this was just maybe 3 meters from the river. It was probably on its' way to chomp down some trees. 🦫 I like the Mortens' homestead/cooking/doing normal stuff vlog style too. :)
Great video! Nice to see you back on TH-cam!
Many good „life in the Shire from Lord of the Rings“ vibes in this video, Morten. 😉 Really enjoyed watching it! Thank you!
Thank you for saving the snake but I have seen you save a caterpillar. 🐛 Morten is a good person. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great video! You're totally right with your words at the end of the video.
Yes, Morton. See you out there.
thank you once again for a beautiful video
This video is pretty damn close to the time when a lot of bad things happened on this coast line to a lot of fine young people. I think you may have got away without criticism! Terrific video...as usual
Keep up the good work ..
as usual, calm joy to watch and inspiration to photograph)
