- I am spending 10 days in the Bialowieza forest in Poland and it is going to be all about wildlife photography. The main reason to come here is to photograph the wild bison but also to do some landscape photography - and of course to spend some amazing days in the wilderness with my good friend Simon.

See you out there...
Poland is very beautiful country, definitely worth to see
Hey Morten, my name is Wiktor I am 16 years old I have been photographing nature since 2012 and I got my first camera at the age of 14. I am from Poland so I am really happy that you came to my homeland because you are a great inspiration for me I hope you liked both nature and people & cuisine
Btw in Poland we call bison in America we call bison and in Poland we call it "żubr"
Bison is the English word for it. Not only used in America.
@@MDCCLXXVI1990 now I know it
Nice to see a young man go into nature to make photographs. And, yes, "bison" is an old European word. From Latin/French descent. The Europeans who went to America and saw a bovine looking like the one from Europe, gave it their old European name. In some Northern European languages/countries, the European bison is called wisent. You can easily see the relation between these two words.
In America we commonly refer to bison as buffalo and use both words interchangeably. I did not know Poland had Bison.
Awesome to hear. I REALLY LOVE being in Poland and I'm already looking forward to coming back. I wish you all the best luck and awesome light 👍👍

It certainly does look like Simon is ready haha!!!
And again great video! Greetings from Katowice Poland 🇵🇱
Only just found this, those Birch trees are beautiful, an understatement really and the gorgeous music. What a lovely video. I want to go right back to the beginning.
Simply the only photographer I follow and watch. You are inspiring and the quality content that you put up is incredible. You kinda take us with you on the journey every single time. I'm an amateur photographer but watching your videos makes you feel that you can accomplish many things whether pro or for fun.
Thank you for all the amazing work and keep shooting 🙏
Pozdrawiam z Polski !! wow od dawna Cię oglądam i cieszę się, że tu jesteś :) Greetings from Poland !! wow I've been watching you for a long time and I'm glad you're here :)
Your videos are always so calming, perfect to sit back & relax in the evening with some tea & sandwhiches. Can't wait for more parts of this journey!
The ones with the backlight and orange mood are awesome. 👌👌
Thanks a lot for you compliment:)
I instinctively held my breath while you guys sneaked through the woods and tried to be as quiet as possible. That’s how thrilling your videos are for me. 😅 love your content mate, you’re by far my most favourite wildlife photographer and I try to learn as much as I can through you. 😊🙏🏼
Thank you so much Lorenz👍👍👍
So Beautiful video
I am always waiting for your new video. Your videos are always so inspirational for me, thanks a lot for sharing it.
"Story Telling is Contagious" Morten thank you for sharing your photo's and video's. We all look forward to many episodes to come.
Thank you so much, Your videos are so calming, especially after coming home after a long day of work.
Beautiful shots of the bison, getting shots like that must make the whole day worthwhile.
Another great video. Love the fact that you really show
and tell how difficult it is to be “silent” while walking in the forest.
Amazing like always Morten!
Sir ,You are Such a great inspiration ..😍🥰❣🖤❣❣Great video
Very nicely done, Thank you for letting us come along for your trip to Bialowieza forest,this is a very cool place.
Thanks again Morten for taking us along on your journey. Poland looks like a beautiful country. You make me feel like I am right along side of you with my camera in my hands. Thanks to Simon also! Looking forward to part 2....
The fact that his videos are more about the feel of photography make them really enjoyable and calming😊😊
The Shutterbug definitely that’s what I enjoy about them too
Exactly what I needed today, thank you Morten & Simon! 💕👍🌿🌿
Beautiful photos, greeting from Poland ;)
Great Video yet again Morten, I loved every second of it!
Great video Morten, that forest looks vast!! Looking forward to pt.2. Keep up the good work👍📸
Thanks a lot. I am looking forward to sharing part 2 with you.
Fantastic, love these and some great unique images.. also loved "time to get some cold beer and coffee" - that is EXACTLY what I always look forward to as well. Stay safe in these challenging times.
this is probably my favorite movie❤ welcome to Poland and have a nice stay and of course the best photos I wish👋👍👍😉
Great video! :)
Great footage yet again Morten, you make me feel like I am there with you. Keep up the great footage and images, and may you and Simon have good light always.
Hope you enjoyed your stay in Poland Morten! Great photos
Thank you, Morten, Thank you, Simon, a beautiful wilderness location, a great video, with some beautiful images, thank you :)
I must say that every video your uploading is getting better and better I’m so zoned in on all your videos and how there captured, STUNNING PHOTOS!!! Can’t wait for the summer for the lovely warm early walks to capture the beauty of nature.
It is so nice to hear - I am definitely looking forward to the spring and summer too.
-first!- I've been waiting for this! I had a tough day today, now i can relax with some awesome footage of nature. Tnx so much for sharing!
My home!!!!!! Lovely hope you had a great time!
Those soundtracks in your video is so relaxing...
Really enjoy your video. Listening the amazing sound from the nature and Staring at the beautiful wildlife should be the best thing in the world! thank you
Morten I love your videos!!! So relaxing, and enjoyable!!! You could be taking photos of rats and it would still be amazing!!! Lol fantastic shots of the biason, and awesome drone views!!! I can't wait to see your next adventure!!!!!!!
Wow, looking forward to watching this later! Watched a bit but I shall enjoy settling down with a coffee and watch it properly:-) 😁👍
What an amazing video... just loved it... The buffalo is one of my favorite animals and had a small herd when living in Texas. Now living in Ukraine and didn't know there are buffaloes here! Such great news! Thanks for being such a great inspiration! I am about to buy my first large prime lens! )))
Your ability to tell stories is so inspiring!!
The bison were amazing, they are powerful and calm at the same time and yes, it is really something how quiet such large animals can be. Here in northern Ontario the black bear and moose may have taken stealth lessons! I especially liked the photos of the birch, they stand like sentinels of the forest.
Morten you won another follower, here from Guatemala 👍💪
Amazing animals and, as always, spectacular photos. Congrats Morten and Simon!
I love the way you photograph nature ❤ but morten you forget to take coffee with simon 😀
I love those pictures at the end. The one with the sharp horn and blurred trees is beautiful. Big thank you for making such beautiful films!
I morten. Happy to se another video. Big respect from México.
This was excellent, reminds me of some of your first videos ever for some reason. Well done, beautiful photos and you and Simon make a great team!
Fantastic, I loved this film.
Exceptional images Morten 👍🏼
Lol, see, I remember Simon from you doing your Camera equipment video- and trying to finish before Simon walked in! But- then he made a cameo of course. 😉 LOVE Bison- we have great American Bison here in Kansas.
Fantastic video, as always, though! You always get me with the music and photo combination at the end of your videos. If you ever make it out to the states, give me a PM, Kansas City BBQ and Beer on me! Then we can run around the Midwest- or even head to Yellowstone. 😉
Awesome as always!!
Love two backlit photos at the end. Białowieża is beautiful next time come and see Bieszczady (and photograph lynx).
Only Morten Hilmer can take pictures. Again great video. Well thank you
You're always creative.
I wish you luck and success.
Beer and coffee = best combo! As always, great video - thanks!
Such beautiful Bison photos!
I cant imagine the trouble you go through just to bring us such quality content as this. I thank you from the bottom of my heart👍
Finally got some time to watch this :) Seems you had an amazing trip with your friend Simon and what a beautiful place. Really love the pictures of the bison in the sunset. 😀
Now I can only think about the bison tiptoeing around in the forest 😂
Love it Morten, thank you for showing me that I don't have to fly to get some nice photos... though sometimes it's faster to get to Africa than to drive to East part of Poland :D
i love watching your videos they inspire me so much
Amazing photos! I hope that you liked Poland ;)
Hey Morten, thank you for your beautiful videos. They are always a pleasure to watch!
What a beautiful video Morten, and from a country where I'm not so familiar with the nature. It was great to see the magnificent beasts in their native environment. Just what I needed to watch today, currently stuck at home. Take care, and stay healthy!
Thanks a lot Oddbjørn and the same to you:)
Very very wonderful
Welcome to Poland, Morten.
Damn I have at work at 530 am tomorrow and looks like I will be going to bed late after watching this beforehand 😂
What a wonderful world Nikon and Canon together!
What a beautiful country! The Birch trees are so amazing with the moon as a back drop! I absolutely love these pictures you shared. The colors and silhouettes of the Bison are so beautiful! Thank you again, and God Bless!!! :)
Hi Morten, great to see you visited Poland and Białowieża. I hope you enjoyed your stay. We are very proud here of our bisons (or "żubr" as we call them). 100 years ago, after World War I, they were at the brink of extinction, as there was only 50 of them left in the whole world, but polish project of rebuilding european bison population in Białowieża was very successful, and their number is more than 5000 currently (being redistributed back to other countries, too)
This is amazing sir.. I think it was so adventuring in Poland.
Best of luck
Simon is Canon man yupiiii :)
I enjoy watching your VDO now in Siem Reap Cambodia. It’s truly beautiful nature and wildlife there with the scenery.
Love your work Morten!
Once more a wonderfull documentation. Thanks for this, Morten you gave me great moments while watching this video!!! Greetings, Rolf
Back plan music is very relaxer 😴😴😴😴
Good that you have been there Morten, very nice to see it through your eyes. I often visit Poland and love the country. Thank you.
I realy love him -Your friend looking so human and silently person ☺️👌
Great, nice fruitful stay!
Another great post. Can't wait until Pt2 is posted.
Absolutely beautiful images. Thanks Morten!
Really like your channel, just like an adventure, your photos are gread.
Wow, some nice photos Morten
I love your videos, they really accentuate the beauty of the great outdoors
hello MORTEN really really good job I like so much congratulations
I like many others find your videos amazing to watch. If you get a photo its great but even if you don't the pursuit and the passion are inspiring. I saw another comment where someone else was not breathing while you stalked the Bison, I realized after a minute or so I had a mouth full of food and wasn't chewing so I didn't spook the animal. Thats how you draw people in to your adventures, excellent work.
Thank you for sharing your adventures in nature photographing the beautiful animals our lands have been blessed with. I know the feeling you get when you come in contact with an animal and you able to get some fantastic shots, it's a high like no other. Keep focusing, a saying us photographers can use to inspire more awesome photography!.
Brilliant Video Morten, Beautiful Photos.
11:36 That passion and Friendship of Simon and Morten is real! They Fight Together i love this team hopefully we can see more of this Duo!
I got some 'Where the Wild Things Are' vibes at the end there.
