    Thank you. Welcome back to Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Taking shelter from the rain like that always takes me back to my childhood. All the very best. Cheers.

    Talisker whisky ... powerful stuff! Excellent for the weather you had there!

    Morten, I agree that a car makes a great photo blind. I am currently laid up from surgery and cannot easily walk around, but able to get in my car. I hang camouflage from the car door draped over the window and shoot through a lens hole concealing my movements. I have been able to photograph Whitetail Deer, birds, hawks and waterfowl. Love all your videos, you are a master film maker!

    It's been a long week and this was just the thing I needed to relax a bit😊 I felt a bit nostalgic because this style of video where you drag us along with you looking for animals really reminded me of your earliest videos. I do love the big adventures, but these smaller and a bit more intimate videos are just so cosy. You really had really harsh conditions with the storm coming in during your stay. Looking forward to the next one!

    "A big grey wall of heavy rain...and wind coming..... ohh, it is snowing.... it is AWESOME"
    That is what separates most of us, from those like you. Thanks for taking us on this journey. A little bit of behind the scenes, dinner looked great, well done.

    I’m amazed by that meal in the camper van! As someone whose camp culinary skills lie somewhere between peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and freeze dried meals, that was simply magical.

    Morten I love your videos. I really love the pictures of the buck.
    I do find it interesting that deer often will allow you to get closer while in a car than on foot. That said, there are plenty of places near me, Seattle/Tacoma area in Washington USA, were deer will get very close to you.
    Having just eaten I must say I am jealous of the meal you had in the van. 😃 It looked like a gourmet meal.

    • @zenphotojourney
      @zenphotojourney 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I grew up in that area. I remember a deer and faun being within a few feet of me once when I was a kid. Now I live in Southern Utah and the deer are much more like the ones in this video.

I love the things that nature throws at us and revel in all its majesty! Thank you for what you do, take care and be safe out there....

    Scotland is so nice. I have friends in Inverness and they took me all over a few years back. In and around Loch Ness and then the west coast up through Assynt up to the Stoer Lighthouse. I saw so many deer and lots of sheep! 😁 My wife wants to return to Scotland when we retire. She is from there I am from New Hampshire USA ... I can't wait! 🐑 🦌

  • @picklebird1261
    @picklebird1261 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    OMG! This weather reminds me of our last trip to Africa during the shoulder season when it was always overcast, or showering, or the best shots appeared after sunset, or the animals were in too dense brush to get a clear shot--LOL. The life of a wildlife photog! Your videos are great and show the "bad" with the "good" in getting the shot. These videos should be a "must" for every aspiring wildlife photographer because you are the best at combining the realism with the joy.

    I have photographed the last 5 spring warbler migrations from the window of my Tundra pickup truck. I call it my mobile bird blind. I put a piece of foam pipe insulation on the window for padding and lay my 8.6 pound 500mm f4G on the pad. The electric window helps with elevation controls. I can get some good close shots of these wary little birds using this system. Looking forward to your next post and hope I can also see it on PBS.
