Wildlife Photography - Musk Oxen part 2 | Behind the scenes with wildlife photographer Morten Hilmer

[@randygeene9455]

You hike through a snow storm, haul out your camera, check the front of the glass and give your gear a little love pat and carry on. Now that is love of nature, love of the environment and love of your gear! Amazing, Morten.

[@lintownboy]

The world needs more positive, nature loving people like you.

[@scottlawrancephotography5938]

Thankyou Morten for the inspiration..you work so hard to keep the dream alive.

[@sarahhajarbalqis]

The sounds and sights are out the ordinary world. Thank you so much for taking us along this awesome journey.

[@godfish67]

I can feel your joy and how much you love Photography, great photos your the real deal.

[@ianfrazer9575]

Frozen eyelashes, that is dedication to a passion. Another amazing video, thank you.

[@PeteWoronowski]

Morten, your photography and video work is nothing short of incredible as is the lengths you go to. Your talent is admired and respected more than I can tell you. Very best to you in 2018! Cheers, Pete

[@MortenHilmer]

+Dark Horse 👍👍 hi Pete and thank you so much for your lovely compliment. It is so kind of you that you take your time to write such a nice comment. I really really appreciate and it makes me happy to know that someone out there is getting something from my videos 👍👍😊 happy new year Pete. All the best, Morten

[@PeteWoronowski]

Thank you for replying and I can't wait to see what you will present next year. I am amazed that your camera's and batteries hold up in this weather. My main photography camera's are a Canon 1D MK111 and 5D Mk11 but have recently added a Panasonic GH4 to progress my video and editing skills. There is so much to learn from your work and I am very grateful.

[@MortenHilmer]

So good to hear. I will do my best to inspire:) If you have any questions - just ask:)

[@AsSniperHunting]

*I agree with you,,,*

[@RaakeshBlokhra]

Love your videos my friend

[@MortenHilmer]

+Raakesh Blokhra 😊😊😊

[@MikeHermesPhotography]

Morten, you are a total beast when it comes to wildlife photography. Respect man, respect.....

[@KenLittle]

Morten, I know that this was filmed over a year ago, but I am hooked on your channel. What I keep thinking of is how much dedication you put into making these videos. For instance, just watching a scene of you trekking across the frame, since you are by yourself, you have to go outside the frame so as to not disturb the snow and set up your video camera, make note of where the it is framed then go back and make your trek across the frame, then go fetch your video camera. The same goes for capturing different video angles in the same scene, where you have to stop and reposition the video camera and continue the dialogue, as well as sprinkling in the landscape to help us get that sense of place. It all seems so professional as if someone else is shooting it. I'm not sure everyone truly thinks about this and appreciates all the effort to make the film so engaging, like we are your friends. I get fully engaged in your adventure and learning. The pictures are the cherry on top. I haven't watched all your videos yet, but plan to. If you haven't already done so, how about a video about your process or thoughts on your video filming and production process. While I think that we all know that it is not just the technical skills of your videos but the content and passion you add, it would be nice to know from the filming side. Thanks again for sharing so much of yourself and your multitude of skills. I am a huge fan!

[@ScriptureToday]

My feet got cold just watching!! Stunning landscape, animals, and photography. Well done.

[@dannynash5713]

These videos in these conditions are just unbelievable! I don’t know of any content/channel that puts out this kind of amazing footage in these conditions and the imagery and video is a “10”! Not only that but your exhilaration from being in this kind of environment just adds to the enjoyment and makes me laugh! Love this channel Morten! ✊👊👌🙏🙌🙋‍♂️

[@charlottewittrup69]

Morten. Du er bare den sejeste jeg kender. 💪👍😉

[@MortenHilmer]

Haha - Tusind tak:) Håber du er kommet godt ind i det nye år:)

[@williamwest8324]

Lost for words. Your photo's are absolutely stunning. But the thing that I admire most about you is your passion and your respect for the animals and world around you. You are at one with your surroundings. Oh those photos, I feel like I'm there with you.

[@aaaaheahea]

I'm crying right now, like two waterfalls down from my eyes! I love animals so much... what a great video both of them! I do not often cry but you made me and I'm a 37 old man from Sweden. Thank you so much!

[@edralph49]

This kind of work needs real skill, dedication and passion - not the sort of thing the masses can churn out on instagram! The combination of the extreme elements, outdoor skills, photography and wildlife is amazing. Brilliant work Morten.

[@MortenHilmer]

Thanks a lot Ed - I love your comments. That is like a power boost to my self confidence 👍😉😀 Looking forward to sharing more adventures with you:)

[@ryanolinger9355]

I agree Ed. Well said about the mass production of photos that we see on a daily basis. I don't think it makes better photographers or really provides that much inspiration. However, watching Morten work and his results should inspire anyone!

[@lindaclark5911]

Phenomenal! Absolutely blown away! Tenacious,enthusiastic,good natured,diligent, nothing short of EPIC!! Those snow shoes on that snow makes my back itch, does that mean i am part bear and prefer hybernation? Lol The musk oxen visuals bring tears , maybe it is the music. Spectacular!

[@henrybrening]

Wow Morten! Thank you for taking us along with you. Great photographs and amazing weather.

[@quarkyman1]

Morten you should have your own TV Series, so inspirational and your presentation just draws the viewer in. I don’t know how you do it but I love it. Thank you and all the best. Mike

[@anjak4004]

Thank you for taking us with you! I will spent 10 days there in December and now waiting even more eagerly and hope to see them too.

[@TheMehmetsenkaya]

Inspiration man I have ever seen... Friendly, sincerely, target oriented... There is no a special effect, no camera fake... It's just nature. Go on my friend, never give up. I am looking forward to seeing your new projects...

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

Absolutely stunning in every way. Beautiful score selection.

[@isar-wildlife]

Mind blowing, Morten. The essence of wildlife photography. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures!

[@MikePhumanaut]

Thanks for taking the time to record these videos while you are out in these conditions that most of us won't get to or can't imagine. Just seeing how you manage the simple things up there is quite inspiring to watch

[@murtazapoonawalla7265]

Your dedication is inspiring !

[@hkahnialum122]

a greater and better version of bear grylls because unlike bear you don't kill the animals but you show us the wild and your love for nature, and you are all alone by yourself.. love it

[@PeterLavender]

Fantastic, amazing to such extreme cold and beautiful scenery. You did an incredible job photographing the Musk Oxen and the BTS filming to take us along with you. Many thanks Morten.

[@MortenHilmer]

Thanks a lot Peter.

[@colewyland1583]

To see how much joy you have in photography is very inspiring!

[@lauragonzales-lgphotograph1004]

Wow!! Incredible videos!!! Just beautiful Morten!

[@luifalcon]

Magnificent is the only word I can think of! Almost prehistoric scene, love-your videos man!!

[@MortenHilmer]

Hi luifalcon - thanks a lot;)

[@FlyinRyanProductions406]

There is truly something in your videos that touches my heart. I’m ready to abandon my life and just come take photos with you. Lol

[@jc32750]

This is a very good series. You are living the life.

[@danrooke7372]

Truly inspirational Morten, you've really gone above and beyond to not only get the shots to vlog and share the experience too! Thank you

[@MortenHilmer]

Hi Dan - thanks a lot;)

[@jj_nashtackle]

You took wildlife photography to the "stratospheric" level! I admire all your work!

[@aaronbourque6379]

You’re an old soul, and I feel like you’re an old friend sharing your journey. Many thanks from Canada!

[@FlyinRyanProductions406]

Unreal. I use to do a lot of backpacking/camping. Never in the snow but many cold days. Respect! WOW!

[@Hangiinjohnny]

Such a strange animal in a strange land but stunningly beautiful in its own way

[@irvanroysirait4568]

Thank you Mr. Morten for this amazing video

[@rickymackie2340]

After watching these Musk Oxen videos I will now be buying/consuming large amounts of coffee/hot chocolate to improve my nature photography. Thanks Morten!

[@MortenHilmer]

+Richard Mackie haha 😉👍 that's a great idea Richard. Nothing is more cozy 😁

[@zenphotojourney]

Haha, If only that made our photography better! Then all the chocolate I eat would make me a brilliant photographer! LOL

[@ianbrown704]

OMG - I will never complain about getting in my warm car at 4am again - my wife thinks I am crazy, well she did until I showed her this vlog - brilliant stuff thank you

[@telkirton]

Excellent photography and thank you for sharing your time with us.

[@jenstybring]

I just had to watch these videos from your trip to Dovre-fjell again. The Mox oxen never stops to impress me. Wonderful videos of beautiful animals.

[@BrentCizekPhoto]

Absolutely stunning. Best wildlife content on KZbin.

[@MortenHilmer]

+Brent Cizek what an amazing compliment 👍👍👍

[@RussellMcCollom]

awesome job in harsh conditions.

[@cillyede]

Great, great and great! All I can say

[@sidvicious3129]

Morton this in incredible as always and truly shows your passion. Guys like you and Dave Morrow who is also out in the snow shooting landscapes, it's just incredible and words can't describe what I'm seeing here and thank your for doing this. This is not to mention that you have to be in excellent physcial condition to do the hiking, not just when the weather is good, but especially when the weather is like this.

[@GingerPhotographer]

Outstanding! - During my time in the British Army "9 Years" I spent 3 months in Norway and personally know just how cold it can be. It's incredible how calm & excited you get in such cold conditions and still nail the shots. Great work Morten, inspirational.

[@isabellaandsophia7527]

Excellent videos Morten, I’m looking forward to more in the future!

[@gregorytortissier5518]

Morten, insanely great video. The place you put yourself through end the happiness you show is just inspiring. Best of luck and can't wait for the next video

[@秦艳贺]

你好，看了你的视频让我很敬佩你，非常感谢你能给我们拍摄这么棒的视频。

[@kurtbaldwinwildlife]

These two vids have been mesmerizing to watch. The images at the end are surreal and feel like theyre out of another world. Thank you for investing the time to create this!

[@honeyxplayz5684]

Part 2 did not disappoint! Superb again. I have no idea how you do it.. takes some balls to be out alone in such environments. I know I couldn’t do it. Hats off to you. I’m glad you’re going back in a month or so.. the images are great they all tell a story of the environment and struggles of the musk oxen.. but seeing the effort you put in to getting these shots makes each one 100x greater. Here’s to a great 2018! And many more adventures. Andy.

[@MortenHilmer]

Hi there Andy and thanks a 1000 times. How nice of you to leave such an awesome comment. You are really great. I think it looks tougher than it really is, but thanks so much. I have already started packing for the next trip, and I can't wait to get up there again:) Happy New Year to you and your family:)

[@CB-kn1ox]

Hi Morten, I've just recently discovered your videos and I just love them . I'm just an amateur wildlife photographer, mostly birds. But last year I managed to chase one of my dreams... to get to the north and take photos of polar bears in the wild. A dream come true! So I totally understand your thinking and passion. I do have a question.... do you ever carry binoculars ? I realize it's extra weight is a deterrent... but sometimes it's just nice to see the animal up close and live. I will take in the scene and then I start taking frantically taking pictures! lol. Best wishes from Canada. Coral

[@earnedwardiansonburgermeye2067]

I love your photos. The ones you show at the end are very impressive.

[@SailingPardonMyFrench]

feeling inspired by your dedication and passion

[@abarrilleaux]
