SVALBARD Photo Travel | Birds and Landscapes - Ep.3

I'm on a 4-day solo trip to a remote inlet to photograph wildlife and landscapes. This is the 3rd 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. 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. In the last episode I got photos of a seal but it only stayed around for less than 3 minutes unfortunately. I had a beautiful light, so even though I was not too lucky with the wildlife photography I could make some beautiful photos of the magnificent landscapes. 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.
