This is last moment LUCK! | NIKON Z9 for Wildlife - Ep.6

I'm on a 4-day solo trip to a remote inlet to photograph wildlife and landscapes.
This is the 6th episode from my 4 weeks photo travel to Svalbard.

For quite a while now I have been planning this 1 month trip to Svalbard, and now finally the time has come. I spent the first week together with my dad, and we had a wonderful time.
I have been on a 4-day solo trip to a remote fiord to find and photograph wildlife.
This is the last video in my series from Svalbard. I am on a remote location together with Robin Levin from Nikon Professional Services to hopefully find and photograph birds and wildlife.
So far we have been lucky to find reindeer, birds and a polar bear to photograph. This is the last day and while I did not have a lot of expectations, I have to say this day turned out very good. Last moment luck I would say.

••• 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. I have spent two further years in the northern parts of Greenland meeting the local people and working on photography projects. My driving force is a sense of adventure and my fascination for nature, and my curiosity and empathy for other cultures has led me to many remote regions.

Beside being featured in publications and in my books books my photographs have been awarded in the Wildlife photographer of the year and European Wildlife photographer of the year photo competitions.

I do not think Nikon could find any better ambassdor than Morten Hilmer, always sharing form his big knowlege. You are a big inspiration to all of

[CookedLight]

Absolutely superb footage. Most Z9 buyers are going to throw a panic attack if they get a single spec of mud or drop of water on their kit, and yet you show exactly how tough it has been built 😁

The best Moment at 10:14 when the fox spotted the guy with the Camera.He looks up and he is thinking: Oh it is Morton Hilmer from Denmark.No reason for panic and I can relax myself.Love this.

A cup of coffee, a comfy chair and a new upload from Morten, what a lovely treat for a Sunday afternoon 🥰

[HEARTISTWORLD]

I just hate when it ends man.. I’ve been refreshing YouTube everyday waiting for you to post a new video.. and i instantly look at the length of the video hoping for a 45 min long one ( wishful thinking). Ive been connected to wildlife since i was a boy, and over the las year ive reconnected to it when i picked up my first camera Nikon z6. When i found you ive been hooked every since. Ive been going through so much since my daughter passed away two years ago, and you as a person, as a human, your personality, your passion for wildlife, these videos, they are so therapeutic for my mental health.. i was going threw some mental challenges this week and i was on YouTube everyday hoping Morten put up the next video.. thank you for being a beautiful creation of our God/Creator.. sharing your life and story with us. Much love to you my brother

Everyone else: "This weather sucks, I'm going home." Morten: "Kinda like this weather."

This was such an amazing series and Nikon couldn't wish for a better ambassador. 😊 Loved the footage and photos of the arctic fox and how it didn't really care about your presence. My favourite being the first photo with that beautiful backdrop. Whispers: Please put it in your 2023 calendar😉. I'm already intrigued by the next video!

[jeffolson]

No one should worry about this camera being tough enough for wildlife photography. This has been a great video series. You got great images.

This could be edited into a feature length film.

Another Sunday treat. I love the Svalbard Series badge you have in the thumbnail

[janoschpetersen]

I am a simple man.
I see Mortens video notification, I click!

[Touuraab]

That fox is so cute. And look at it's camouflage. It almost perfectly blends with the rocks

[anirudharun]

Morten is probably Nikon’s best ambassador. Worthy of the equipment and an incredible human. Keep up the work Morten!

[Ruizinho]

It's amaizing how you can give an emotional ending to "a YT video", great job as usual! Such an inspiration

[alanwattz]

Mr HIlmer,
Never STOP doing this you make people like me believe in magic

[AtaBoraBasar]

I wish this series never ends... Thank you Morten.

[Ticolme]

Great ending. Loved the dedication to all and the brief information about Svalbard.
Really enjoyed the drone footage. Nice that it was a success.

[ChrisHunt]

The little fox is adorable. Thank you Morten for this brilliant series and thanks to all the support group. 👍 This has been the highlight of the year for me. 💕 God bless you. 🙏

[ArieVanderwyst]

What an amazing adventure and thank you for sharing this with us in this wonderful documentary, your love for nature and wildlife is contagious... thank you again 🙏🏻💖🍀

[FrederickDunn]

I love the opening... it's like the beginning of Never Cry Wolf. One of my all-time favorite films. What a great environment to really run the Z9 through its paces! I'm binge-watching all videos on the Z9 while I wait for mine to ship :) Thank you for this truly extraordinary production!!! Thumbs up and I wish you all the best and am already subscribed. Truly exceptional.
