Such a cute little hare! Awesome job Espen.I need to get “home” to Scotland again soon…I so miss those hills💙🏴💙
What a serene and beautiful place, stunning,breathtaking wonderful video something special this is Espen!
Thank you 🙂
Beautiful Scottish conditions. Never seen it that quiet in Glenshee in those conditions.
Yeah it was a fantastic day 🙂
Spot on that Espen. The snow shoes made a huge difference lol. These are defo on the list.
Thanks a lot mate!
Wow, dedication and endurance is rewarded👌
Thank you Ton 🙂
your tenacity, has given you incredibly beautiful memories and photos. Scotland is very beautiful.😇❤
Thank you 🙂
The lengths you went to capture this footage is incredible. And the pictures with the morning light was just amazing
Wildlife and landscape in one go, what's not to love!
Corgeous buddy, great shots! Nearly got stuck up there last week lol, i was prepared in the van so made it out. Going to look up at glenmore to see if i can spot any i think.... Top stuff, stay safe, JP x
Thanks a lot JP, best of luck!
Absolutely brilliant once again. If you ever do a tour group count me in.
Thanks Andy 🙂👍
I thought you had spotted a Musk Oxen ! Always time for a coffee. What a view, just hope that snow doesn’t get any deeper. Must be hard going on the knees. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us. Mountain Hares and Snow Buntings in one day….Wow !! Espen do you ever remember the two figures sat on what looked like a seat they were on a hill at the side of the ski centre I think they must have frozen away. Great video
Thanks a lot John 🙂 musk ox in January 😁
All the best Bonnie Lad gr8t video
Quite the workout to get a photo of a Hare. Awesome! Great to see all the snow, especially at a ski area.👍👍
😅 yep they can be hard work 😁
Brilliant video as per usual, thank you
Thanks Andy!
So beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing the beautiful landscape of snow and bird and hare. ❤
Thank you Karen 🙂
This was an excellent video Espen. What a workout, all worth it when you found the hare though. Great point about enjoying the process too. All to often its easy to get enveloped in the photo but theres no guarantee that it will happen. Great shots and the snow bunting was an awesome bonus too. Love those little things.
Thanks a lot Timothy 🙂 I do too
What a beautiful video, Espen, I thoroughly enjoyed it in the comfort of my home, and I felt happy for your cup of hot coffee at the end🙂
That coffee was very necessary 😄 thank you Sam
Well done you Espen, super images of the hares, and that lighting,wow, I envy you being there. All the very best for Christmas. Mike.👍
Thanks a lot Mike 🙂 Merry Christmas
so beautiful, totally worth crawling through the snow. May you and yours have a happy holiday.
Thank you 🙂 same to you
I even got out of breath going up that slope😳
Lovely hare shot and nice video. I’m glad you stopped at times to admire the view, so many photographers just chase the ‘shot’ and not see the beautiful surroundings.
Thank you! Such a nice day hard to not stop and admire the views 😄
Lovely post Espen. Some of my wildest and most enjoyable wildlife encounters have been in Scotland-10 in a snowstorm photographing mountain hares. Very envious. Jason
Thanks a lot Jason 🙂 often the case, the worse conditions the more memorable
I loved that. Great reward for the effort you put in. The first hare image was really special. Superb work.
Thank you Malcolm 🙂
Nice one Espen, lovely conditions. Ive just bought myself some snowshoes in the hope of getting up there soon. Hopefully we'll get another dump of snow. The Snow Bunting was a nice little bonus. Do you think some snow camo might of got you closer? All the best, Si. Have a great Christmas and new year 👊🏼🎄
Thanks a lot Simon! Not sure about the camo, it might help get closer, but I think mostly the hares know you’re there and it’s about moving slowly and letting them get comfortable with you. Would be interesting to try though. A great Christmas and new year to you too 🎄🎉
Great film, I love mountain hares.
Out of interest what snow shoes do you use?
Hare is awesome!!!! 👏👏👏
Fantastic video Espen, love the last image of the hare and the last sunset image.
Thanks a lot Bryan 🙂
Absolute bliss, 12 mins of pure enjoyment I want to be there 😊
Thank you Alan 🙂
Great video frends🥰
Missed you!
Thank you 🙂 felt good to get back out and make a little video!
Brilliant video again Espen thank you
Thank you 🙂
Thank you. All the best. 👍📷😎
Thanks Rob 🙂
Thank you for sharing this video with the fascinating scenery, I am amazed. Happy for you that you did find the hare, I've never seen one before, what an adorable little creature. Stay Safe and wish you pleasant holidays.
Thanks a lot 🙂 have a great holidays!
beautiful adventure and such fabulous shot, thanks so much.
Thank you 🙂
Beautiful. Perhaps the hare thought his luck was in spotting a carrot (hat) in all that snow. 😉
😅 that must be it!
Stunning landscape and light!! It's good that you slowed down to enjoy the process and your surroundings. So many people never slow down and miss the beauty around them.
Very nice images! The eastern cottontails near me will sometimes come towards you before they go in a different direction.
BTW, in the vlogging gear list on your website you mention camera and lens. You don't list the focal range, only the aperture range.
Thanks! I’ll have to have a look at that. Cheers
Wonderful photos! Really hope I can do adventures like this in the future.
Thank you Paul 🙂 hope you do!
Cracking video Espen, two weeks time ill be heading to the same area when I get home from work!
Thanks Tony! Hope you get some good conditions
Beautiful.
Hei hei Espen, godt aa se Scotnorsk wildlife:D
Great footage and photos, very envious of the wildlife in Scotland! All we have down south are pigeons, seagulls and grey squirrels, but they make for good subjects. At least the underwater critters are good :)
Keep it up, I like seeing this.
I'm a D500 underwater photographer, but I also use it for land based wildlife. Looking at the OM-1 + 300 PRO as a secondary unit because of pro capture, weight and the insane IS with the sync.
Did you ever shoot DSLR or were you always M43?
Hei! Thanks a lot 🙂 I used to shoot Canon, a few years ago I had the 7Dii before I made the change
Flott video Espen. Fantastiske omgivelser. God jul
Tusen takk Geir, manglet bare litt Nordlys 😁 God Jul
Nice too follow you Espen :)
Thank you Håvard 🙂
Great video Espen, snow shoes made it look easier.
Right! So much easier😅
Stunning photography.
Thank you Steve!
👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
👋🏻🙋🏻♂️
That was enjoyable. What was the battery life for a day ? Do you have a blog for camera setting in sub 0 weather. Cheers
The battery lasted surprisingly well, never ran out. I don’t use any different camera setting for low temperatures.
Brilliant work 😊
Thanks for taking me to such lovely places and scenes where I would never get to otherwise. My how I would love to see the hare. I’m new to Oly and would love to know your settings for the face on hare image
Thank you Deborah! There’s a link in the description to my website for all the images and settings 🙂
What lens were you using Espen? Thank you and Seasons Greetings.
Loved it…almost like being there, albeit my toes stayed warm! Wonderful photos, and great video footage, was that part done on an action camera or an OM5?
Thank you! I used a combo of a gopro and the OM-5 for vlogging in this one
@@EspenHelland thanks…checked on your gear page too, but think you need to update! Note; watched that video several time I so enjoyed! Considering a OM5 for hiking trips.
Great video Espen looked hard work good on you can I ask what jacked you have on thanks
Thanks Derrick! It’s a down jacket by Bergans a Norwegian brand
Excellent 👍
Thanks Syed 🙂
Yummy 🐇, I think I would have fallen over getting out of the van!
🤣
Great video and LOVE the light how do you keep the snow so white in your Pictures?
Thank you! I make sure I expose to the right
@@EspenHelland thank you
That was fantastic, but I have 2 questions. I totally understand the concept of camouflage when stalking wild animals and birds, but a red hat when everything around you is white? And secondly Espen, I would love to know your camera settings for the pictures of the Hare? You normally put the settings on the screen with the pictures, because I find it almost impossible to choose the correct settings with photographing in the snow, and I live in Poland and we get a lot of the white stuff here!
Thanks a lot 🙂 the hares are dichromatic so they don’t actually see red, it’s just a darkish colour, though I stand out with dark colour clothing in the snow anyways. I’m not actually trying to hide from the hares they see me, I just want to make myself small and moving slowly so as not to scare them.
I’ve posted the photos on my website with settings, there’s a link in the description 🙂
@@EspenHelland OK, thanks for the reply!
How many wild hares have been murdered by the estates in the area?
I hope it’s better these days when they need a licence, but you never know 😒 I suspect and hope they have a different pattern when it gets really cold and a lot of snow have fallen, maybe they move to lower levels.
Om-1 with 100-400mm? 😊 Or the almighty 300mm?
I need warmer sox for walking in the snow 😬
The almighty 😁
@@EspenHelland I'm only ruling the 100-400mm 😅 btw, do you ever use sh1/2 mode? I mostly use sh2, but my lens can max 25 fps 😬
the hardest work is when it doesnt come together.
.... good job Espen .... ✊
Thank you Josef 🙂
@@EspenHelland .... credit where credit is due Espen .... 😎
