✦ ABOUT THIS VIDEO
I have been on Dovrefjell almost every year for the last 8 years and I love Norway, the location and the musk oxen so much.
Winter wildlife photography is definitely one of the things I love the most, and by bringing my tent and my camping equipment, I am able to stay out for several days, weeks or months.
This is the first time I am using a guide on this location, but being together with a very experienced local wildlife photographer / guide is definitely an advantage. Not only to find the musk oxen, but also to lear about the animals and the area in general.
My Guide on this trip: Even Hønsen Agerup from Moskus Guiden.

In this first episode we are hiking up the mountain to establish a base camp. We are going for the first photo trip, and in the afternoon I say goodbye to Even and I have four days in front of me.
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 always think about how much effort and time it will take to film yourself when you walk in and out of the shot. Set up the camera, walk back and often with a bend so as not to leave any footprints and then walk past the camera. Then the reverse when you walk out of the shot. And that many times in difficult circumstances. Incredible passion for nature and photographing showing us how fantastic it all is.

@terrydanks 2 года назад

@Ron: Yes! That has me saying to myself all the time: "These shots don't just happen!" Was amazed at him pitching his tent, alone, in pitch black night and in a howling winter gale in one of his other vids! I was paralysed with cold just watching! LOL!

@Ruslan_davudov_photography 2 года назад

It's his dog who is behind the camera 😂

@Bob4golf1 2 года назад

Often thought the same thing as Ron.

@raysanders332 2 года назад

Yes, I think about the added time it takes to make these videos. Retrieving and going ahead to setup camera. Doubles your trip.

@Methodical2 Год назад

Too much work and time for me. I don't have the patience. I just want to get there and go to work. I don't want to waste any energy doing all that camera work. I applaud those who do though.

@SuperFucdat 2 года назад

The best wildlife photographer on youtube & the best thing Nikon did was make him a Nikon Ambassador. Can’t wait for part 2.

@montanaylago 2 года назад

“I’m out of shape” says Morten after carrying a 40kg backpack for a day up the mountain with a another 30kg in a pulk! Really beautiful landscapes, I’m looking forward for next episode when you show us the musk oxen! See you out there!

@Ticolme819 2 года назад

Beautiful landscapes. Enjoyed hearing and seeing your enthusiasm on just being out there. Totally love your morals and ethics for the animals. That's why your the best!

@Torbjoern76 2 года назад

Absolutely!!!

@anirudharun04 2 года назад

The reason I love Morten is not because of his images and videos but because of the human he is. Instead of disturbing the animals he decides to take his chance, and he was rewarded by nature. He enjoys every bit of the journey, the sunset, the snow and can we please appreciate how nice he is to the people around him. Show him some love. With all the love possible Morten, Anirudh Arun.

Thank you so much for such a lovely comment

@KatMac5 2 года назад

I agree with you Wilderness Films. The experience rather than some pictures gained at any cost.... calms me to know people still exist like Morten.

@Sashman077 2 года назад

Morten, my wife gave me your Silence of the North book for Christmas. An amazing work of art. All the effort you are putting to create these images is remarkable . Your dedication to photography and wildlife is truly inspiring. Looking forward to see your next episode.

@raffaeleortisi1896 2 года назад

Hey, my wife gifted it to me too!!! What an amazing gift.

When some RU-vidrs sit by fake fires and talk about the demise of Nikon, Morten shows Nikons enduring strengths.

I'm in agreement with many others. Your videos are the best. Your passion and deep respect for nature is obvious and so appreciated. Keep up the great work and I can't wait for the rest of this series!

@1unisol1 2 года назад

shots like that 04:31 show real dedication, running ahead, setting the camera, walking back and then walking towards the camera. wow.

@sebulban 2 года назад

For me, Morten you are the no1 outdoor human of the 2000’s. Such a respect towards the animals and the nature surrounding you. Also your way to express and find the beauty of weather conditions , even at hardest icy storm, makes you a truly unique person. Let alone this RU-vid scene. Best of luck finding those musk oxes and stop by in Finland when ever you might find the time 😊

@cliftonwhittaker260 2 года назад

Another amazing adventure, Morten. One thing I am learning for sure, I would never buy a used camera from you. Looking forward to seeing your capture of the musk oxen images. :))

Climbing up a mountain in a snow blizzard, then to decide not to go closer to not disturb the animals and giving up a perfect picture or movie of them. You have such respect for the animals which is amazing to see.

THIS is why I subbed to your channel! I love these long, winter photography trips. You've changed my life in such a good way by showing me how great adventures like these can be. I'm still saving up for a decent camera setup, but it has become a new life purpose to have adventures like these. Thank you for sharing it with the world!

@terrydanks 2 года назад

Really appreciate Morten's videos. The B roll content always impresses. He's alone, usually. Those clips of him walking away, setting up camp, or out on the trail require work! Has to set the camera up, go back and get the shot and then retrieve the camera again before moving on. Only to have to do it all again for the next clip. Also, he's tough! Even too many years ago when I was his age, my idea of fun would not have been enduring the cold and blowing snow he seems to take in stride! Way to go, Morten!

@nick_401 2 года назад

I'm already excited for the next episode. Your filming, storytelling, but mostly your passion for nature and wildlife photography is so genuine and inspiring... You opened up my eyes and showed me what I wanna be doing with my life once I get out of the military in a few years. Thank you!

What an ordeal. I had the good fortune to see several herds of Muskoxen in the Canadian Northwest Territories on a summer canoe trip just near the arctic circle. Summer mind you. Nothing like this winter trip. We were generally warm and comfortable - although even in summer it is harsh country on the tundra. At least you don't have hordes of insects! The muskoxen are gorgeous creatures.

Wow Morten! This is just wonderfully, amazing footage of your journey to Norway. Over Christmas, I went north.. I live in central Alberta and we've had an extreme cold front settle upon us.. minus 34 to minus 40 Celsius over night, not including any windchills. I walked along the frozen Sturgeon river, hoping to spot a snowy owl but no such luck, It's so invigorating to be outside with nature... your dedication to your craft is mind blowing. Thank you for sharing your passion with your followers.

@nickykwan9794 2 года назад

Crazy extreme environment. You are the hardest working natural photographer I have seen and follow. You have bit by bit inspire to explore a potential camping trip for wildlife photography in the tropics.
