THIS MADE MY DAY! // UNEXPECTED adventure in Svalbard - wildlife photography

This is my last part of my photo expidition to Svalbard, photographing birds and wildlife. This last day, made my day. An unexpected encounter with the white whale was amazing. And photographing the red necked phalarope was just fantastic. This bird has been high on my wish list for many years. Finally it happend.
This is why I love bird photography and wildlife photography.

    We get the dainty R. N. Phalarope through here in the Midlands area of the U. K. on rare occasions must be great to really spend some time with them to get some great images, by the sound of your camera I think there must have been a few thousand shots taken ! As always Trond another very well produced video there - look forward to the next one. 👍

    Lovely, well done. That Phalarope came so close, it was amazing. I saw one a month or so ago here in the U.K. but it was at a distance. During one of my many Winters in Norway, we were skiing up a mountain and just as we arrived at a plateau, the plateau took off. Of course it didn't really, it was a huge flock of Ptarmigan in Winter white plumage, an incredible sight. Unfortunately, back then I couldn't afford the sort of camera equipment I have now and even if I could, there wouldn't have been enough space to carry it along with my military equipment. Keep up the good work and keep enjoying it. M.S.

    Hello! Wonderful video. I frequently see wildlife photographers using tripods for shorebirds in shooting situations like this, but I notice you are mostly shooting handheld. Is that your preference, or was there a limitation of some kind that necessitated it?
