Wildlife Photography in Norway
The freezing, cold wind hits my face and forces me to stop to adjust my facemask. I turn around and take a glance at the sled behind me. It’s heavily loaded with camera gear, tent, sleeping bag and food rations for about a week. I am in the mountains of Norway to photograph the amazing muskoxen and I want to take you behind the scene and share some of my favorite technics, my camera settings and some photos from this and previous trips with you (click pictures for larger view).

I can still see the mountains towards the West but heavy clouds are approaching and they are now dangerously close. In a few hours the snow will arrive together with the wind, and then the now so peaceful landscape will turn into a whiteout of swirling powdery snow.
I still have more than three hours with the heavy pulk before I arrive at the location where I have seen the musk oxen in the previous years, and if I want the slightest chance to find the oxen, I need to get there before the storm kicks in.
