In this video I am in Glen Etive in Scotland to do some wildlife photography. The stags are very shy though, maybe because of the heavy rain so I have to improvise. By using my car as a photoblind I manage to get close enough to capture some beautiful moments.
Episode 2 will be published on Saturday:)

✦ ABOUT THIS VIDEO
I am in Scotland to meet up with Nikon and the Landrover team. We are going to photograph wildlife with some new equipment and there will be a film crew covering the 5 days.
I went to Scotland 6 days in advance to visit the Cairngorms to try my luck with the mountain hares but I did not see any.
I met up with my friend Joanna and we used her campervan as a basecamp for 3 days.
Together with her, I spent a few days in Glen Etive trying to photograph the Stags. They were very skittish though so I had to use my car as a photo blind.
✦ WHO I AM.
My name is Morten Hilmer and I am a professional nature and wildlife photographer.
I am a Nikon Ambassador and I work as an ILCP photographer.
Nature conservation is very close to my heart.
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.

  • You have made it to the UK. Here you will get rain rain and more rain, enjoy. Hope you like the massive Island I live on it’s very sad down here in London but up in Scotland it’s much better

  • 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!

  • The car is a good hide. Some of my best images of wolves have been from my car.

  • 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!
