3 Days of Wild Camping and Wildlife Photography in Norway

Today we do Wildlife and Bird Photography in the norwegian mountains of Dovrefjell. My goal in this episode is to photograph big bull moose and the european golden plover. Join a WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHER in the field and behind the scenes while I capture all footage with my Nikon Z6 and Z50. This is my first trip to Dovrefjell in summer since 2020, and I got a great adventure for myself.
🐺 ABOUT THIS VIDEO
Being high in the mountains in Summer with the long days and beautiful sunrises is one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. You just feel right at home, there is plenty to do and photograph.
DOVREFJELL is a place where you can find real inhabitants of THE WILD NORTH like the mighty MUSKOX or giant bull MOOSE. This year I am returning to Dovrefjell along all seasons to record a bit of everything for a greater collection of material. Especially in Summer, you get the opportunity to photograph a lot of birds that come as soon as the mountains wake up in spring.
The Muskoxen on the other hand has lived on Dovrefjell in ancient times and has only recently made its return by reintroduction from Greenland, twice. May time show if the precious ecosystem that has found its place here, survives the threats of the years to come.

You do great, Gunnar! :P

Fantastic thank you. Stay well and safe travels. All the best. 👍📷😎

Thanks, Rob. Many adventures this year :)

[@JeremyNeipp]

Super cool stuff! That peace is so satisfying, trying to show Jamin up with those Moose huh? 😉

[@GunnarDresler]

Hard to compete with his giant canadian bull mosse. I have not been lucky so far and never met a real big one. But I do live close to it, so you know, sooner or later :)

I had a very similar situation to you re-cooking gear igniter failing so now I have lighters tucked away in many pockets and bags just incase hah! Glad you managed to get some warm food eventually though. Dovrefjell looks so beautiful. I can see why it draws so many photographers. Fantastic stuff Gunnar.

Nice Gunnar. Nice!

Thanks, Rino!

This was well put together.

Thanks a lot, Kevin. A bit worse than the last one for my taste, but it checks out :D Cheers

Thank you, Rodney :)

Great episode man! I loved the timelapses, and of course all the wildlife footage and images were fantastic as well.

[@GunnarDresler]

Thank you, Brent. I am glad that I can produce so many tours this year!

Tolles Video Gunnar😍👌

Glad you enjoyed it, Lisa! Too kind of you. I am not too happy with some of the footage, but getting better every year :)

[@nawar9261]

Every time I watch your videos I feel like grabbing my camera and walking in the woods .. Great work Gunner 👏👏 .. Thank you

[@GunnarDresler]

You are allowed to do so, after you watched the video to the end ;) Thank you!

[@gregwilsonnaturephotography]

Hey Gunner, this has been a great series. Fantastic timelapse! It was great to see you had some time with the Plover and you captured some beautiful photos. I'm looking forward to the next video. Greg

[@GunnarDresler]

It is really annoying when you realise that air on the Z50 sensor, but gladly I could fix it in the field, besides that the timelapses seem to get better :) Thanks so much, glad you liked it. I will try to bring more in not too long! More islands and forest first.

[@gladysklip6984]

Hi Gunnar, fantastic video! I'm glad you were able to spot the Dotterel. Good that you took things slow otherwise you would have probably end up not enjoying the adventure. Looking forward to the next one, take care!

[@GunnarDresler]

Hei Gladys. Thanks for tuning in. Honestly, I cannot wait to go back next summer in late May to July and photograph way more birds, all the ones I had no time for this summer because of sickness!

[@gladysklip6984]

@@GunnarDresler I can imagine! I've just booked my trip to Svalbard next year in March/April and I can't wait to get out there!

[@GunnarDresler]

You are going by yourself or with a workshop of some sort? I hope it will be great, just hard to get out of town without help quite often. :)

[@gladysklip6984]

@@GunnarDresler I wouldn't dare going by myself 😁. I'm going with a local photographer by car and on foot.

Wow again. Beautifully done. It's a delight to watch you become your aspirations. Going to have to watch again lol.

[@GunnarDresler]

I have a video of me in late May moving into my new place and being completely uncertain about my future. That was around 3/4 monts ago, it seem surreal that things actually got kinda good :P Glad you like it that much. Reality show here :D

[@juanitakelly3082]

Loved the moose in silhouette at 8:16. Cheers to "new" things for you Gunnar.

[@GunnarDresler]

Body is in good shape, beautiful nature all around, and I do not have to be scared about leaving any time soon :) Thank you!

[@atropicali]

What a beautiful atmosphere with a camping and birding Awesome bird with a cool shots 👌🏼 Keep the good stuff Gunnar 👏

[@GunnarDresler]

I liked the last episode from the overall shape better, but I am also happy with this one. They belonged together though. Glad you liked it!

[@trondwestby5264]

Really nice, and well crafted video. Looks like you had a great time up there. 👍

[@GunnarDresler]

Hei Trond. Tusen takk! Ja, det var noen fine dager. Dessverre var min skadet muskel så vondt at jeg sovet veldig dårlig. Det er bedre nå igjen, mye bedre. Jeg skal se at jeg fotograferer mye mer fugler neste gang :)

[@Kjell_H]

Alr i alt synes jeg dette var bra Gunnar. Timelapse-opptak var bra. Flotte opptak av Heilo og elg(okse/r). Du har fin fortellerstemme som passer til stemningen du formidler fra fjellheimen. Ga en tommel opp og i tillegg hilsen herfra 😊

[@GunnarDresler]

Tusen takk, Kjell. Jeg håper at jeg får mer muligheter til å fotografere fugleliv i fjell neste år. Sommeren var jo vel ikke så "langt".

[@Kjell_H]

@@GunnarDresler Må bare ikke gi opp Gunnar. Var oppe på vidda selv (Hardangervidda ) og filmet Heilo, Sandlo, Rype og Villrein i sommer. Det gikk bra. Synes det så greit ut, men jeg lever ikke av det😂

[@richardfink7666]

Wunderschöne Aufnahmen! Ich hoffe wir schaffen es nächstes Jahr dieses wunderschöne Land zu besuchen. Übrigens finde ich deine Videos sehr beruhigend, sehr interessant und sehr entspannend.

[@GunnarDresler]

Vielen lieben Dank, Richard. Ich plane gerade daran auch einen deutschen Kanal zu bringen. Die Hauptsache ist es wirklich das es auch was neben reiner Fotografie zu bieten hat, einfach Natur geniessen, Zelten, draussen sein :)

[@richardfink7666]

@@GunnarDresler So sollte es sein! Die Natur und die Ruhe genießen...und wenn dann noch ein paar schöne Aufnahmen entstehen, umso besser.

[@drferry]

You need to go to the tropics!

[@GunnarDresler]

I would be melting in no time^^

[@drferry]

@@GunnarDresler I saw you shivering and trying to keep warm by eating hot food. And that’s in the “summer”! So go to the mountains in the tropics where it’s cool. The bird list for Wildsumaco Lodge on the east slope of the Andes in Ecuador has over 600 birds!

[@GunnarDresler]

Yeah, it’s like I have no heat or cold tolerance, I just like the cold more 😄 but what you’re saying sounds very cool. If I ever have the resources and a mission I might go, but I’m far from that.

[@j.kimmer1509]

When i watch nature photographers just sitting in a tent eating on the ground; it makes me feel like I am watching the thousands of homeless here in Commiefornia. Just watching a homeless man eating, talking in a tent. No gear, no animals, no environment etc. I want to see gear more gear, talk with your gear next to your cheeks, behind your head, in you hands ... pictures of grass, rocks anything but a homeless man suffering. Thank you for the video.

[@GunnarDresler]

So you feel like watching a homeless man while I camp in the mountains? I do not fully understand what you mean. Tenting in the outdoors like this is pretty normal in Norway. And I do not think I will talk more about gear, I am fine like this and this is not all about photography but about an experience on this channel. Maybe I misunderstood you though. Also, this is a series, so this episode makes more sense with the previous one.

[@riverphillips3331]

Great video Gunnar! I have only just discovered you so I shall enjoy the rest of your videos. The last thing that you look like is a homeless person! I have no idea what J.Kimmer means either. Anyway, keep well and keep producing! Good work brother.
