Hello Gunnar, Some super images and a great video. Keep well, keep safe and do enjoy your photography and filming. I did love your Eagles(amazing image), But I do have a soft spot for the little Dippers.
Enjoyed the video and the 'story telling' part throughout the whole video. As a bird-lover I enjoyed the close-up of the eider and eagles. But, I have been at Dovre so the Musk 😍
Hey Bryan, glad you liked it. I needed a second to get what you mean. As of my knowledge, the bait at the hide is roadkill, if it was other I would not be going.
Very enjoyable to watch and to listen to as well. It would be difficult to pick a favourite segment at the expense of the others. But I will give the edge to the dipper. I can imagine how hard this would have been, . I am enjoying this format as well as your regular style. I have only recently "found" your channel and still have a lot to catch up..
Thank you very much, John, glad you found the channel. The problem with my dippers is mostly finding a good place to lay low, but also where they are spending most time!
Absolutely amazing footage once again Gunnar! I really loves seeing the muskoxen bashing their heads but the eagle footage takes the win. The brown eyes of the young golden eagle were especially stunning! The more orange looks of the older ones is fierce too but there is something about these brown eyes that amazes me…
Disclaimer: This video shows baiting (different nuts for squirrels & roadkill for the eagles at the hide). Baiting is subject for open ethical discussion. If it is ethical or not may be qustioned, but what it is for sure is a shortcut and all photos are unauthentic. I leave this video, but I will not continue using or showing (if not discussed) it in the future, because I came to the conclusion that it is not at the heart of wildlife photography. Let me know which segment is your favourite?! Sorry about the crappy muskox slowmotion, but I had to do it digitally.

Great video Gunnar. I hope you’re healthy and going well. The footage is all magnificent. Thanks for putting it all together so well and sharing your experiences from the other side of the world again. All the best from Australia, Joseph
The stills and videos of the Golden- and White tail eagles were one of the best I’ve seen👌🏽. Definitely loving the new format. As far as which parts of the video I liked most…well, there is so much, like a mini-documentary. I like the entirety! I must add I also very much enjoyed the previous vlog of your outing with Trond, Oddbjørn and Espen. Love the humor and camaraderie 😃. Have a great weekend!👋🏼🦊📷
Thank you, Irene :) It was some work to put the first one together. I originally wanted it to be around 40 minutes. The thought behind it is simple, I cannot spend more time on RU-vid right now, so I have to boil many videos down. I hope to be out with the guys again, maybe in summer some time, we still have to figure it out. Enjoy your weekend!
Hi Gunnar, wow what a fantastic video! I love the behind the scene footage and the way you're telling the story as a narrator. I love the squirrels but the eagles were just amazing! I hope you keep on doing this new format. Greetings from the Netherlands, Gladys
Thank you, Gladys. There is certainly something coming about spring and we see if I continue after that. Fall often does not seem to be more than Dovrefjell :D
Ahhhhh, great video Gunnar! Have too say, that eagle segment is amazing! I like that format! Do prefer when it's just one trip or topic, because your way of filming and your choice of music is always very calming! And I like that brown Fjallraven winter coat, never seen those here where I live! Cheers man
Thank you, Wayne :) I will be doing "normal" videos here and there, but I just do not have enough time to do them that much anymore I think. I cannot spend fulltime (or just more time) on RU-vid at this point. I think some of the videos that I still have from last year will never make it. There is still 3-4 I think. The jacket I am wearing is from the Värmland series, it is for hunting originally, but serves me well. It is warm, but not intended for winter, but especially it does not make any noise with buttons etc. Cheers

Very nice as always :) question: how hard are the squirrel-pictures cropped or do you use a TC? - I have a Nikon D4s with a 200-500 and i cant get anywhere as near as you do with a 400mm - but since you have 45mpxl and i have 16...im sh!t outta luck when it comes to cropping.
Hei Kim, The squirrel photos are not done with the Nikon Z9, I only had that one on Dovre in January and for the eagle trip. The photo are not cropped or barely cropped. The squirrel here is around 2-4 metres from my hide, so easy game as long as you can focus and move the lens fast enough without scaring it. Cheers
I have mostly been using magic. Well, the magic of post editing. I record in 4K and then zoom in around 105-110%. It does the trick, at least for me. Everything else would be too much work and planning in the sparse time I have out there alone. Thanks for asking, cheers :)
Good video as usual. What I haven´t appreciated much was to see the fox being used as a bate. I hope that beautiful animal have died from natural causes and not being shot because of the photos.
Yeah, Roadkill. I mean there is the option to leave it on the road I guess or cremate it. I hope you do not suggest that the hide owner drives over foxes on purpose? That would be a hard job.
I totally get that, which is why I do not often go to hides. Maybe once in two or three years if I look back. Hides do have the feel of photo tourism for sure.
