Enjoy watching.
See you out there...
Morten spoils us with these long wonderfully produced videos. What a treasure he is.
Thanks a lot:)
👍🏻see you out there😉….. thanks again for all inspiration❤️
@mortenhilmer I am trying to start a live stream on my channel and do not know what supplies I need, could you tell me what you used for yours?
I could not agree more. I look so forward to watching his videos. They’re very well done.
Morten, you‘re a true inspiration to me, especially when I‘m stressed and don‘t have time to go out in the wild myself. It is always just truly calming to see you go outside and tell your wonderful stories in a very relaxed and calm way. Just thank you so much for being a motivation to go out and take photos or just enjoy nature. Thanks for being such a wonderful person and photographer!
Thank you so much Lukas. I really appreciate your kind words. Going on trips in nature - short or long - is always a treat for body and mind.
Yes! The video that we never realised we needed. Thank you @MortenHilmer
Morten you are my favorite channel for wildlife .....I may not be young anymore at 57 but when I get out to shoot wildlife in my mind I pretend to be in your shoes .........it may be that I look at the adventure like a child would and have the wonder of nature and capturing it even if it is only Parks and some small forests near where I live......YOU ARE THE INSPIRATION THAT WE ALL SHOULD HAVE .....THANKS FOR BEING THERE FOR ALL OF US ........Live long and Photograph .....Be well ....
I am truly humbled by your kind words. Thank you so much. It actually means a lot to me to get such lovely compliments - it is very encouraging.
Love your videos. They are calm and nature connecting. Apreciate to have you back since a while.
I miss Norway and hope to one day make it back there for more hikes and stunning landscapes ❤ Thank you for showing more beauty of its nature.
Lovely little film Morten thanks for all this kindnis and beautiful natur! I like it having you back
Worth the wait! Love that hammock. Beautiful scenery as usual.
Awesome video as always Morten. Always love watching your videos after a long day of work, so calming! Hello from Canada 🇨🇦
This is exactly the review I was waiting for !!
The whole video is excellent! A real pleasure to watch! Thank you very much for sharing! 💯
Thanks a lot - I am so glad you like it.
This is certainly a unique format for a camera review. Wonderful video😊
It's good to see you, Morten - full of energy, on your way to amazing adventure! So much positive vibe in your videos! Can't wait to see, what you are going to do this time! Wish you all the Best, Morten. Greetings from Poland.
Thanks a lot - it is so nice to hear. I want to go to Poland again sometimes soon.
HI Morten, Just beautiful! Thank you so much for taking me along! Camping with a good friend, canoeing, a cozy hammock, rain and a new camera. I couldn't ask for more. Sweet dreams, my friend. Coral 🍁
Thanks Coral. Yes these things creates great memories.
When I'm tired, or feel like everything goes in the opposite direction I want, seating in front on my computer watching one of your amazing videos reminds me how beautiful life is out there! Thank you so much!!
You are so welcome - I am glad you like it:)
First meeting with NPS and...Coffee!! Love it!
Hello Morten, again a wonderful video with a lot of inspiration and true product tests 😀. Thank you for being out with you in the wilderness. Best regards from Germany 🇩🇪
Thank you Johannes:)
This is so beautiful and calming I can't even 😭 I visited Norway back in 2011, hopefully I'll be able to visit again, and my mom really loves Norway too...
I've been waiting for this one! Looks like you and Jens had an amazing time in Norway :D The camera didn't look too bad either :P
It was such a great trip Pica. Always nice to be out with a good friend and a great camera.
Hello Morten! Thanks for your new video! I’ve seen a lot of videos from you, you're often out in the wilderness even in bad weather conditions. You are one of the toughest nature photographers in the world! My full respect! Wishing you all the best!
You are welcome:) Yes I think images made in rough conditions often ends up a bit more interesting.
Thanks Morten....every time, every trip is a dream.
I haven't viewed your channel lately. Always see your new videos, which I enjoy tremendously! Thank you Morten.
Beautiful people, beautiful video and pictures, beautiful landscape. Wow!
Wonderful video, Morten... thanks for sharing your experiences with us!
Morten you have a wonderful ability to choose places with such beautiful landscapes. Intrigued with the fishing gear. Makes me want to get my line in the water. It looks like the Zf is so far on a positive path. I'm sure you will have a great time checking it out. Love the video! As always wishing you the best!
Thank you Ann. Always lovely with a comment from you.
Hi Morten, That's a very encouraging video you shoot. Your videos are taking me with you to the location. I really like your honesty and love of nature.
Lentz is so cool. Rad video, just bought the Zf. Can't wait to get to use it. Thank you for the relaxing review of this camera and for satiating my wanderlust.
AFTER A LONG WAIT ...WELCOME BACK 🤩
These kinds of content is so inspiring! Thank you so much to share with us your trip with the Zf. I think you found a wonderful nature spot and wonderful new camera to do your filming work.
No filming being done - film went out years ago - now it's recording digital content .........
@@kenwiberg6517 Forgive me to still call recording moving images filming instead of "recording digital content", which by the way also is happening in audio studios without producing any moving pictures. But be my guest if you want to be a nitpicker.
I feel like I was there with you. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Morten, Hope everything is fine, we are waiting for a new adventure from you. You are such an inspiration for me!
I saw the new Nikon Zf in an advertisement today, and thought about when you will test the camera 😀 Amazing, atmospheric pictures. Thank you!
Another wonderful video in a beautiful landscape. Thank you, Morten! Love the sheep😂
This is the best video test for this camera that I've seen so far. Thanks!
Thanks a lot - I am glad to hear that you like it.
Thanks for another wonderful video. I like watching your video because no matter where it is, you always show us beauty of nature and life. I especially appreciate you capture beauty of rain, since we get a lot of rain fall through spring at Pacific Northwest in US. It makes my fall/winter more enjoyable. 😊☔
Fantastic, thank you. Stay well and safe travels. All the best 👍📷😎
Great work, I'm enjoying it as if I'm part of the adventure myself.
Once again superb inspirational video. Thank you.
So enjoyable to watch this one!!! That fish dinner was amazing!!!
Thanks for the video and excited to see your full opinions on the camera in due course: I'm currently looking at something that has to be a go-anywhere, jack-of-all-trades camera so seeing one properly tested out in the field would be very welcome.
What a beautiful place! Watching this, I was struck by the juxtaposition of ancient woodcraft skills with the most modern high tech equipment. Can’t wait for your coming trip into Telemark!
Watching your videos makes me feel better. I get a lot of inspiration.
Loved this Morten.
Thanks a lot Nigel. I hope you are having a great time.
Hi Morten what an extraordinary video, many thanks to you.
As others have said, after watching your videos, it makes me want to pack my Nikon up and head for the woods for an adventure. Keep up the great videos. 👏🏻👏🏻
Wooooow 👌. Zf & Morten's review...much awaited.😊 Hope you kept yourself dry 😅and Kudos you've treated the camera really well!😁
Seeing those forests is very relaxing...thanks.
I watched for the testing of the Zf and found myself recognizing all the camping gear (none of the fishing gear though) and being extraordinarily impressed by the footage. Great stuff.
Such a great video again! :)
Nice work with initial test, Morten. Lovely natural colour; seems very good in low light using low ISO too, and looks like a quick auto focus. You must be very pleased. Morten the fisherman! Jens the veggie-man! That was one yummy feast you had. Can't wait for the next video.
:) ;)
Wonderful area. Thanks Morten! ❤
Aaah Morten with a new video. Nikon has been generous with you - 6 days to test the zf - others got a couple hours.
Haha yes I know. Wait and see the next video - it is filmed with the Nikon Zf - 2 weeks in Norway...
Another wonderful outdoors adventure, Morten. Beats the hell out of a howling blizzard and dodging polar bears in Svalbard, I'd say. Hope you have better luck with your fishing while you are there. Nothing better than fresh fish on the riverbank.
amazing colors, auto focus is superb.
Nice to have you back
Thanks a lot.
Stunning set of videos, look forward to your 2024 journey. Have a great Christmas 🐶🐶🐶🐶
A great watch.
We have missed you videos. Looking forward to more
Yes, sitting cosy with a cup of coffee and a very big smile on my face to watch your amazing content. Its always a big pleasure to may watch your video’s. Every time again and again its a lift up in my inspiration to go out and be there. Just to learn, exploring and enjoy the environment. Thanks!🫶🏼
That is awesome to hear. Thanks for sharing that with me.
Waiting for your next video..... (venter på din neste video...som må komme snart :-) )
Being from The Netherlands, i really love the Nordic countries. Here only at a few places you are able to hear nature. I am living close to "De Veluwe" (south) but even i am walking in nature i always hear the traffic and planes. Besides that, you are never really alone unless you are going to walk at night or really really terrible weather.
I love going north as well. Here in Denmark we have way too much agriculture.
I moved here 4 years ago... and I know the problem, if you find out any places that actually let you feel a bit wild feel free to share!
Again you are able to keep us captured with your video. No action, no bullshit, relaxed, sweet and calm. I love it.... and as an old Nikon FA, F4 and D2X guy, I just love this new Zf. (I am shooting Fujifilm now.....)
Thank God 🙏 wait is over now❤ Happy to see you sir in nature
Morten, waiting for your next video it's too much time missing your videos
Great video Morton, and I love the ZF, I shot Nikon sine I was a kid and switched to Fujifilm a few years ago, this could tempt me back.
Morten's like: Give it to me already, I want to hold it in my hands! :D
Another beautiful video! Took some time during the last months to watch all of them, I am hooked.
Thanks Ronald. I am glad you liked it
What a gorgeous time you had with a gorgeous camera
love following your adventures, morten! -eve
Excellent video! And I bet that Brookie tasted really good! It sure looked good!
It's amazing that you cant watch this content for free, absolutely amazing.
I really anticipate every Video of you. They are always so special. There seems to me no stress in selling the viewer something, you just tell a story
best review of Nikon Zf I've watched so far..
Long wait is over 🎉
Such a treat when you bring us along on your trips! I'm with you -- think rain is such gorgeous weather (certainly when in the natural world!). Oh and when you speak to Robin next ask him to push his colleagues at Nikon to make and ship my 600 Z tc which I ordered nearly a year ago! :) Cheers!
Enjoy your videos love the photos of the lake!!🥰 from Canada
Loved this Video 😍😍😍😍
Beautiful camera!!
Long time no see Morten.. Great to see you back. Keep in mind that if you end up purchasing a ZF there will be no excuse for a making videos for us a little more often. He, he, just joking, but I enjoyed the video as I always do. Thanks for taking us along.
I have actual been busy making videos;) I am editing the next one these days...
@@MortenHilmer Yeah, I knew you were busy 🙂. There's a professionel life beyond YT. Always looking forward to your the next video. The ZF looks really nice though, and it seems to take a hard rain pretty good. You need it my friend. You need it...
Great Video, certainly made me feel hungry 😋 keep well & Stay safe 👍🇬🇧
I have been waiting for a new video from you. I was wondering where you went! Please make more!🤣🤣
Omg i LOVE your videos… I have been considering the Zf . Should I , shouldnt I . But thank u for this beautiful amazing video…. Im envious of your travels !!!!!! Hello from MINNESOTA ❤
Learning how to fly fish is on my bucket list. Great episode Morten!❤
That is a great thing to have on your list - It is very calming and yet exciting at the same time
everytime nikon asks Morten to test a camera or a lens, they choose the right person to torture in real life.. if morten says ok then it passes the test.. 😃 great video Morten.. 🙏🏻👍🏻
finally, a new video 😍 where have u been all that time, hope is everything okay. Greetings from Libya 🇱🇾 🙏
Wonderful video, of course not because of the photos, but because of the experience.
Thank you, Morten, for sharing. Again, a great story and great fun to watch your experience. The shower for the new camera and your comment 😂
I like your movies so much! Thanks a lot for your job!
Kanon god video Morten! Perfekt sted at teste den nye Nikon Zf 😀
Tusind tak Nicolas:)
I really enjoyed this video.
Great, beautiful video! I finally managed to get out for some photography again lately and got really excited for late autumn / early winter (before skiing season starts) because i saw a kingfisher fly by at the local river two times. Not sure yet how i'm gonna do it without a photoblind and a secure spot to put one, but i'll find a way... or maybe I'll just have luck ^^
You could just build a temporary blind of some sticks and a camouflage net. I am sure that will be enough. Even just some branches and some leaves will do it. I have a video about just that somewhere on my channel.
Superb !!!
Only Morten can get me this excited about a coffee!☕️🙏🏼
Great contrast in the black & white mode from looks of it.
Morten You are truly unparallelly unique with your works & presentation as well.... I'm following you from very beginning, you appear on KZhead. lots of respectful love from Bangladesh .
What a nice compliment. Thank you:)
This was a nice surprise for my morning chill time after walking the dogs! :)
After a long time ❤
When they announced that camera yesterday, my heart jumped a bit. A few hours ago i was able to try it out at photopia and now i am in love. Amazing to see that nikon trusts you with this camera, especially with (or because of?) how you treat it. Crazy how much rain this thing can survive, but that's also something that my Z6 had to endure, so thats one more positive reason to get this Zf!
Every Nikon FX body is that weather resistant 😉 Plus the top models (Z8/9/D850/6/5) beeing "even better sealed", whatever that means. I just love Nikon for the robust gear so that the photographer doesn't have to think about it or can stay in harsh environments for taking the shot. 😊
Yeah they can actually take quite a bit of rain. When I in rare cases experience that something stops working due to the rain, I take out the battery and card, and dry the whole setup for a day and then it works again.
Waiting for next videos ❤
Hey Morten! We need more videos man, hope you are doing well and everything is fine?
You are truly amazing 😍 Loved your videos Love from Assam,India
