A Photographer's Paradise | 4-Day winter trip to Norway - Ep.3

I am on Dovrefjell in Norway on a 4-day trip to photograph the musk oxen. Winter wildlife photography and wild camping - it doesn't get better than this. Finally I get the light and weather I have hoped for.

✦ ABOUT THIS VIDEO
Winter wildlife photography is definitely one of the things I love the most, and this time I am bringing my tent and camping equipment, so that I can stay out for several days.
In this third episode I am pleased with the amazing light combined with a blizzard.
I am looking forward to sharing this experience with you.
Happy watching and stay tuned for the next video.

✦ 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 don‘t want to scare animals just to get a photo.“ That‘s the quintessence of the philosophy of a true nature lover and inspirational photographer. Thank you, Morten, you‘re a role model for us.

That light was something special....Beautiful pictures Morten!

Morten, giving you 1 thumb up is a crime. I wish I could give you 1000 thumbs up for each video. You have exposed me to the part of the world that I would have not seen. For that, I'm very grateful to you. May God bless you with his infinite wisdom and grace...

Oj!! Morten, thank you! Besides the great photos of the musk oxen in that lovely light I appreciated the calm contemplary feeling in the video. Thanks a lot!
Best regards. Paul, Sverige

You forget the cold, the hunger, thirst, tiredness and you think of one only thing, you're next picture! That's impressive! Thanks, Morten!

I'm having a stressful week with deadlines right now, but watching a video of Morten is one of the best ways to take a break. Thank you so much for the awesome content!

This is all nature and animals and harmony is a magnificent gift from a loving Creator to us. When I see all this beauty I almost cry.Thanks for filming it.

I never thought I would be interested in Musk Oxen, but you make them fascinating. The shots of them backlit against the pink sunset with blowing snow are fantastic! At 76 with no arctic skills, I could not possibly do what you do. Thank you for taking me along vicariously!

that light was amazing. putting yourself through those temperatures is true dedication. the results are worth it in the end

[PaulAmicucci]

Morten, You are a legend, thats all I can say. Wow.

[Nikonsoji]

Beautiful pictures ! I was very very moved. Thank you Morten. You are our role model, our longing, dreaming.

[porkster]

The best videos on YouTube. Truly outstanding.

Hi I’m from America and you have just done a presentation to my school and I just wanted to say that your work is awesome and you should keep doing what your doing

[martijnverdonk]

You really nailed it with these shots! I also love your ethics not disturbing the wildlife. Thanks for sharing!!

Morten, this series was incredible. Thanks so much for doing it. I’ll never see that part of the world, at least not the intense way you did. I’m very appreciative of all the extra work you put in to film all that *by yourself*! I just watched it in my living room in front of my fireplace, and had to laugh at your “pathetic human” comment. It’s clear which of the two of us is the pathetic human, and it ain’t you! 😀👍

[andylv]

The photographers' paradise for sure. Extraordinarily beautiful!

[FaviousM]

I guess it's Morten Monday! Loved the video, looking forward to seeing stuff from your Yellowstone trip when that happens

[chadadventure]

Liked how you brushed off the camera, then set it in the snow.

[JudyStarchild]

Such a calming and professional video with stunning scenery and of course the musk oxen who were very relaxed in your company. I cannot wait for your trip to Yellowstone, I was so excited when you announced it 😊

[Max_Gindele]

Wow - Well done, Morten. You are making so nice photos and videos! Keep up the Food work 👍🏻
