Polar Bear Encounter | NIKON Z9 on Svalbard - Ep.5

I'm on a 4-day solo trip to a remote inlet to photograph wildlife and landscapes. This is the 5th 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 time I am on a remote location together with Robin Levin from Nikon Professional Services to hopefully find and photograph birds and wildlife. We are facing a few challenges on our trip because we are not alone on the coast line of Svalbard! One of the biggest challenges on a location like this is the fact that there are a lot of polar bears in the area and it takes some preparation to stay safe. ••• 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. --- 🔗 SOCIAL MEDIA & WEBSITE • Website & Shop: https://mortenhilmer.com/ • Instagram:   / mortenhilmer   • My 24/7 Livestream:    / @nature-live   📸 EQUIPMENT An overview of the equipment used in my latest YouTube video can be found on below link.
