••• ABOUT THIS VIDEO •••
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.
Now I am off to a remote fiord to hopefully find some wildlife to photograph. If I'm not lucky with the wildlife the landscapes are incredible beautiful, and it has been a while since I have done any landscape photography.
The biggest challenge is the fact that there are a lot of polar bears in the area and it takes some preparation to stay safe.
Happy watching and stay tuned for Part 3.
••• 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.
Read more about my time in the Sirius Dogsled Patrol: www.bbc.com/earth/story/201602...
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 hope people really appreciate what Morten does in these videos. Not only does he do incredible photography, but he is also like a 2 man film crew. It is so well done, and watching is a true pleasure. As someone who makes videos as well, I can't imagine the amount of work that goes into a video like this. Such an inspiration!

Such amazing scenery and that seal photo is definitely one for the 2023 calendar 😛 Even though you found it hard to describe, you described exactly how I feel about visiting/seeing old buildings. Looks like your bear alarm got a small upgrade from the last time you visited Svalbard. I would still 100% run into it though 😅

@MortenHilmer 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Pica - Always a pleasure to read you comments. Yes old buildings are amazing. Have you seen A Life on this Planet with David Attenborough? The beginning where he is visiting Chernobyl? That is amazing. Yes the alarm got an update and this is much better. I am now building one up from scratch for my next trip. A completely different system with sound only. See you out there...

Nice video, Morten. You put a smile of recognition on my face when you used the buttons to zoom in on what you shot. It took me a while with the Z system until it sank in that the display compares to my smartphone. Two finger pinch zoom. One finger move within the frame. Brief tap to focus on the point tapped and immediately take a shot. Almost a game changer.

When seals are in the water they are difficult to get good pictures. Like you said, they don't keep their head out of the water very long and they can spend up to about 20 minutes under water. They are quite common in Puget Sound in Washington State in the USA. I see seals about 60% of the time usually about 30 meters off shore. I am surprised how many people don't notice them. I enjoy watching how you set up camp. I was surprised to see you drink from a stream. Around here I am going to filter at least and probably boil. That is a cute little old shelter you showed us. As always, I enjoy watching your videos.

@MortenHilmer 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Jeff and thanks for you kind words. The streams on Svalbard all comes from the glaciers so the water is super clean. Here in Denmark you have to be more carefull because of farming etc. Yeah these seals are really difficult - luckily they are very curious:) Take care - see you out there...
