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 us:)............

@darekpro6117 2 года назад

very true. had i watched Marten's videos before choosing the system it would be N probably even without thinking about it. Nikon should sprinkle Morten with the latest gear :)

@MortenHilmer 2 года назад

Oh thank you so much - What a lovely compliment:)

I just hate when it ends man.. I’ve been refreshing RU-vid 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 RU-vid 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

@MortenHilmer 2 года назад

Thank you so much for writing this heart warming comment. I am really grateful. Thank you so much. I am looking forward to sharing many more adventures with you. All the best Morten

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

@CookedLight 2 года назад

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 😁

@a97b18b 2 года назад

One of the big considerations I had when debating on getting a Nikon even though I don’t really go out in bad weather. I couldn’t decide between canon r6 or Nikon z6ii. I went with canon, but I have a month to decide if I want to keep it. I’m just a hobbyist so there’s nothing spec wise that I really need. But I the autofocus is what swung me towards canon for now. I do like how all of nikons lenses are WR where as canon only L glass has WR

@GeorgePrince 2 года назад

Thinking the same thing!

@catmonkey6826 2 года назад

Thought that too.

@harpenfluit Год назад

The difference is that Nikon will give him a new camera for free and most photographers must pay for their equipment.

@klaushimmer4697 2 года назад

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.

@jeffolson4731 2 года назад

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.

@anirudharun04 2 года назад

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

@GediAstro 2 года назад

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

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

@FaviousM 2 года назад

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

@picapica42 2 года назад

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!

@MortenHilmer 2 года назад

Thank you so much Pica - I will definitely have that photo in mind for the 2023 calendar:)

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

@ChrisHunt4497 2 года назад

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. 🙏

@FrederickDunn 2 года назад

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.

@lucabieri9250 2 года назад

Sunday evening with the family and a new episode of your adventure in Svalbard…What more can you ask for 😉? Greetings from Lucerne 🤗

@MortenHilmer 2 года назад

Hey Luca - so nice to hear from you. I hope you are all having a great time. I have a few trips for this winter, and then afterwards, I would love to come and visit you again:)

@theoldneworleansfoodandrec2992 2 года назад

If anybody needs the definition of a man, well there it is. This guy is all real. I spent eight years in the Marine Corps and lived under the harshest conditions on the planet but Morten puts himself there for photographs. I'm seriously impressed.

@Touuraab 2 года назад

I haven't watched the whole video yet, but i already feel nostalgic. ❤❤❤. You are awesome Morten

@jimtipton8888 2 года назад

Thanks Morten! This entire series has been a colossal treat!

@ashurock1000 2 года назад

The fox footage is almost hypnotic🙌🏻. The transitions at the end as he goes behind the rocks is great 😊

@jfwatson8892 2 года назад

Fantastic video and series! It is always great when Morten posts a new video no matter the subject or location. Nikon made a good decision choosing Morten as an ambassador, great representative for the Nikon brand. Best channel on RU-vid!!

@catmonkey6826 2 года назад

Yesterday I fell off the ladder at work twice, crazy tricky job. Bruised and cut, wet, cold and tired but I carried on. Today you made me cry at the beauty you capture and the conditions you work in that make my day seem like a breeze. Incredible work. Properly blown away. Thank you

@СергейМогутов-ъ4д 2 года назад

This was heartwarming. I do understand that it's sometimes nice to just go outside in this conditions - wind, rain, snow, and everything in-between... God bless modern membrane clothes which allows you to feel yourself like that fox, chilling in this conditions.

@julioamaral4391 2 года назад

Morten, Thanks for inspiring me and my wife Luana! We live in the south cone of America and having photographed Antarctic Peninsula, South Georgia, Falkland Is and Shetlands twice, we feel there is a lot more to be done! See you out there! Love, Julio Zenkner & Luana.

@davidgrandy4681 2 года назад

They are really (and semi-subtly) pointing out the great weather proofing of the Nikon/Nikkor setup. Without actually saying anything most of the shots show the camera and lens soaking wet!

@fhccinematic5736 2 года назад

I don't know how you do it Morten. Every single time you touch my soul as nothing else does. Keep it up budy, there's none like you.

@tedk2814 2 года назад

VERY VERY VERY NICE!......Totally enjoyed it and learned just how much rain and sand the Nikon gear can tolerate and keep on working. Thanks so much to all who helped make this possible, Ted in Sebastian, Florida

@milessheppardson3008 2 года назад

Good to know that the f to z lens converter “FTZ” does not compromise the quantity of to f mount lenses. I shoot with 2 d850’s can’t wait to get my hands on a Z9

@garykuiken6191 2 года назад

Morten an other great video. Wildlife photography in the truest sence. No help from vehicles, no spotters, true wilderness and the ability to think on your feet and look after your self, much like being alone high up in the Canadian Artic which you have experienced. Great production value. Love the wonderful images of that fox in this video. Take care.

@ArieVanderwyst Месяц назад

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 🙏🏻💖🍀

It´s unbelievable how good these videos are! That video recording of the artic fox is one of the cutest things I´ve ever seen!!! I wish the next episode was already online...

@rhodericlourens3323 2 года назад

Fantastic footage in a mystical location! Hats off to all the Nikon ambassadors who stuck with Nikon through uncertain times and to be ultimately rewarded with the worlds best camera!

@ArkansasPrepper 2 года назад

Morton you have so grown. I see it has changed from just a year ago. Make me sad that I am to old to reach deep into nature safely. I truly enjoy your work. Thank you, Rick

@momentlichfotografie4903 2 года назад

It's time to dream and come down with Morten... your videos are so amazing. You show us the beauty of life and nature. Thank you so much for the trip on your side!!!🙏

@jimowens8105 2 года назад

Thank you Morten for taking us all with you and showing the beauty of such a unique and un-disturbed place. Your enthusiasm and respect for nature is truly an inspiration to all that will listen. Your "real life" example of what it means to be a nature and wildlife photographer is refreshing. You demonstrate that the camera gear in your hands is like any other tool... It is there for a purpose like a hatchet or knife, unlike others where it is simply jewelry to keep in a bag, polish and wear around their neck to show off. Thank you for being and inspiration to us all.

@karstenbursak8083 2 года назад

propably the hardest field test a new camera can be taken to ;-)

@VentureFarOut 2 года назад

I can't believe you can just have the camera and lens out there in the rain for such a long time! That impressive.

@gilbertrolland8505 2 года назад

Thank you so much for this incredible série Morton. I have enjoy every moment. What a great surprise to see you in action with the Nikon Z9 in those harsh climatic conditions. Be safe and I hope the best for your next projects.

@Allotmentwithpaul 2 года назад

OMG, I've got a big lump in my throat after watching this video, the wildlife we have in the world is amazing, the mountains and glaziers where spectacular this is definitely for me the best video I've watched I take my hat off to you Morten amazing work please keep the films coming Thanks Paul Uk

@EdwardKilner 2 года назад

Excellent video. Hard to imagine how the wildlife you list got to the island. “Fun for the camera” is a thought I’d never have. Thank you!

@ezteok1 2 года назад

You have come a long way my friend from that little fox in that little forrest near your house in your fotoblind... or that ghost of the mountain stag somewhere in Schotland along the way in a camper and heavy rain. I'll still watch those video's from time to time. They are a inspiration for me and i added these ones to the collection. Just great!

@tjrsasea 2 года назад

nice, how you just left the camera outside in the rain!

@grahamlambert1732 2 года назад

Morten, you bring the viewer with you, such real life situations. All through this series I have been totally absorbed by your technique and story telling in some inhospitable environment. My original interest was the goal of your project, the Z9 in Svalbard, but I found myself more and more just awestruck by the content of each video and how you managed in Svalbard. Some 46 years ago I was there, a young photographer with a limited amount of film You have rekindled the memories of that trip. Thank you for this and your awesome channel (love the BTS personal touch).

@MHTutorials3D 2 года назад

You are soaring at great heights my friend

@evasz814 2 года назад

Wow! Another beautiful film with beautiful music. Congratulation to the new assignment! You deserved it. I can't wait to see the next footage. Thank you.

@don_wild 2 года назад

Morten, you are one of the few true wildlife photographers on RU-vid! Great inspiration! Doing the same, but on a much smaller scale, I can't imagine such kind of photography without spending night in a tent, without feeling a full cycle of nature with a beauty of a different weather, seasons, time of the day, after all. And you have all of it in your life! That's amazing! Keep sharing it with us please! It's so nice to watch your videos, especially when not being able to feel a portion of it myself on a weekend...

@zalan5390 Год назад

Hi Hilmer. I know its a older video and u propably not going to see this message but... U are an inspiration for me. What u doing out there is phenomenal. Every one of ur videos is entertaining and when it ends im looking for another one. This series was very special. U given me inspiration for the future. Thank u

@lockygolfer 2 года назад

This is why Nikon gear is so good! It isn’t just designed for features, it’s meant to be used in the most rugged terrain and poor weather conditions. 👍

@IliasKoureas 2 года назад

As a fairly new photographer that shoots with the nikon D3400 mr Morten is a huge inspiration!

@CharlesMercer 2 года назад

There is no better way to start the day with a warm cup of coffee and a video from Morten. This series is next level in storytelling, nature photography and videography. Looking forward to hear your comments on the Z9 and watching your next adventure. Thank you.

@matzky12 2 года назад

Absolutely superb ...Morten, you are an inpiration. I never see such a brilliant footage from a polar fox. I love the equipment, this gigantic tele and the (want to have new Nikon) Can´t wait for more content. best regards from Germany

@celeritasc9207 2 года назад

You certainly put the Nikon Z9 through the paces to achieve extreme real life testing and it passed. Nice work and great images/video. The drone footage at the end highlighted the beauty of the rugged landscape.

@wildpatagoniafilms16 2 года назад

My friend there is no one.. no one that shares the love.. passion & respect for the natural world and wildlife as you do! watching your work is like having a key to a world of beauty.. good taste ... love for animals and the outdoors... simply superb. You are an amazing photographer and storyteller, but even better: you are an amazing soul! Thank you for inspiring all of us .. photographers & filmmakers alike. Looking forward to your next YT presentation! Thank you!!!!!

What an incredible series this was. From the videography to the photography to the presentation, every part was exquisite. I've been catching up on your channel over the last few days and must say it outclasses every other photography channel I'm subscribed to. Thanks Morten.

Thank you so much Peter. What a compliment. I’m really glad you like to join me on my trips😊

Beautiful, Morten you take people to a special place. I know I will never go there but thanks for showing how beautiful this world is. Glad Nikon have recognised your work , they couldn’t have got anyone better to test the new Z9 .

@kevinmorris4872 2 года назад

Fantastic video as always. Love the images of the artic fox. Without question, the best wildlife photographer on RU-vid bar none. Well done Morten. Kudos !!!

@jmlr2011 2 года назад

Beautifully done Morten, I agree with WM Nikon couldn't have found a better ambassador for their new camera. Can't wait to hear your thoughts as well on the Z9 soon.

@dougsmalley2072 2 года назад

I can't think of the words to adequately describe this series, awesome, stunning and breathtaking come to mind but seem somehow insufficient. Thank you for taking me along to a place I'll never go - listening to the shore ice crackling took me there and I could almost feel the cold air on my cheeks. An outstanding accomplishment by you and your support team!

@steenmogensen1220 2 года назад

Love every moment of the entire series @Morten Hilmer. It is a great example of what it takes to be a wildlife photographer in rough locations. Makes one view your images from the cold regions with even more appreciation, now that we have a better idea of all that went into capturing them. Cant wait for your next video :-)
