Musk Oxen PHOTOGRAPHY on Dovrefjell ⎸ EXTREME 5 Day Solo Expedition - part 2

Dovrefjell is a mountain region in central Norway known for its rich flora and fauna. For five days in March, I explore its rugged landscapes and search for the specialized creatures that call this hostile habitat home. Join me for an epic adventure of blizzards and snowstorms, captivating wildlife photography and ruthless winter camping.

Thank you very much!

[@hstein27]

I just watched both parts back to back. The fact that not only did you survive this expedition alone, but managed to get some wonderful photos and videos is a huge accomplishment. As I write this you're at 4.99K subscribers so 5k should happen very soon. Your videos are BBC/NatGeo level quality, so you deserve it. I loved the ptarmigan photos where all you can see is the eye mask.

[@TobiasGjerde]

Thank you very much, I really appreciate that!

[@jeroenschoondergang5923]

Absolutely great video, true dedication. Thanks Tobias!

Merci pour cette extrême aventure.

[@TobiasGjerde]

Thanks for your support!

[@theflyingdutchman7127]

hi Tobias
These are really beautiful images that you shared with us. are you still using the 300mm F/2.8?.

[@TobiasGjerde]

Thanks a lot! Yes, that was the Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM you saw

[@smurgy99]

Well filmed, and narrated in terrible conditions.

[@TobiasGjerde]

Thanks a lot!

[@JEtamBenCo]

Great vid! Have you been happy/ was the focal length enough with 300mm f2.8? Thanks for sharing! Btw how did you prepare for this solo trip? Cannot wait for next one :)

[@TobiasGjerde]

Thank you very much! I would say the 300mm is a bit too short quite often, but I also like to include some scenery, and for those cases, I really like it. For preparations, I have done several solo winter camping trips before, and I was also a year in the army at the Arctic Ranger Batallion, which gave me a lot of experience in that field

[@JEtamBenCo]

@@TobiasGjerde I see, quite some experience there:) reg. 300mm f2.8 I would use it with TC 2x so f5.6 what I thought can be better than zoom lens 200-600 f6.3

[@richardfink7666]

Beautiful, but why are you doing this to yourself? It could be more convenient! I`m getting chilblains just from watching.

[@TobiasGjerde]

Hahah thanks a lot! This is what I live for ;)

[@jasyamaha]

Magnificent, thank you.

[@TobiasGjerde]

Thanks a lot!
