I have found your channel after watching Thomas Heaton partake in your challenge. I look forward to watching more of your videos as I'm very impressed with this one. Take care
nice video Oddbjorn and thanks for taking us with you in this adventure. Is always a great feeling. Waiting for your next adventure..... and yes, fog is a complicated and dangerous thing so glad that you guys took the hike slowly.
Storytelling, filming and images, yep as you say around 12 mins after the sunrise at the lakeside one of the more magical occasions in your life.. for sure - it came through in the film perfectly. Tension building as you walked up through the fog to stood infront of that stunning vista the following morning. Lots of great images capture by yourself and associates but loved the telephoto river image and the stitched pano at 12.36. Loved your reflection on the trip and your experiences as to what makes a trip a succes etc.... sometimes as you have just attested, a photograph might not be the moment that makes but a memory - long may it stay with you. atb Alan
Hi Alan! Thank you very much mate. I'm glad you liked the video. Standing there up by Lac Blanc in the night watching the silhouettes was incredible. What the fog hides :) The photograph of the braided rivers may be my favorite from the whole trip :) Thanks again mate and all the best!
Thank you Oddbjorn for teaching me some basic photography and hiking tips that are easily missed by many. I learned a lot from you during the trip and had an amazing time. Looking forward to future photography trips especially the Northern lights photography in Lofoten.
Absolutely amazing, I’d really love to go back here! Those views of Mont Blanc were amazing! You hit the nail on the head with that closing statement by the way 🙂 s.
What a memorable adventure and your pictures and story-telling takes me back to those places. Thank you for sharing your creative thought process. Can't wait for next adventure 😊🙏
Memorable indeed! Thanks for the adventure Kittu! I had a great time in your company! You are all such lovely people! Give my best to all! 🦊🙂 thanks again!
Great video and awesome images Oddbjørn. Those river systems are called Braided rivers, and we have loads of them here in New Zealand especially on the south island. That looked a truly amazing adventure, and very soulful. Thanks for sharing!!
It's fun to watch you seeing things for the first time that I've become familiar with over the years - my first trip to Chamonix was in the late 90s. You do the mountains great justice with the photos.
@@oddbjrnaustevikfoto Apart from a bit less ice and a few more holiday apartments that are ridiculously priced not a great deal. We always stayed up the road in Argentiere, which is a bit out of the way anyway. Zermatt has changed more - a lot more money has flooded into the valley and it's become a lot more crowded. You really should look into coming east and checking out the Dolomites - particularly the area around Cortina - it'll knock your socks off!
@@MikePageKaltenberg Yes I can see that! We were supposed to check out the Dolomites from the Italian side, but we had to cut the trip short by five days, we had planned to hike the Tre Cime trail :)
Now that really was a sight for sour eyes :) Stunning images! I think my favourites would be the panorama and the braided river (although I think it could also look very nice turned 90 degree to the right?). The video also looks like a very long and well good Sony commercial :D (which I would affirm).. Thank you for your great work!
Thanks a lot Markus! Originally it was taken horizontal but I flipped it in editing 🦊 haha! Sony has good cameras for sure 🙂 outclassing my astro image 😂
This was a workshop you arranged and led? Had you gone there before to work out arrangements and make reservations for the overnight stays such as Mount Blanc? So beautiful, that only high altitude and rugged mountains can portray. I would love to have been on that one.
Hi Steve! It was a workshop yes, but it was a private workshop. The group asked me to join them for their upcoming trip to the alps and I said yes! They did all the planning. But booking to those places we stayed can easily be done online. I will post info when my next open workshop will be if you are interested. Thanks for the kind words mate 🙂🦊
People shooting with the lens hood on backwards makes me smile. Neat video. What a trip.
Thanks Sean! One of the more finer places I’ve ever woke up 🦊🙂
Encapsulated from start to finish. You certainly got the lucky conditions for the work shop. Beautiful shots matey. A pleasure to watch👍👍
We certainly did! No rainstorms this time around 😂 thank you James! We all got some keepers on this trek! 👍
That is a fabulous series of videos Oddbjorn. You are a very lucky man to have that experience, and your dad is lucky to have such a son!
Many thanks Bob! I’m very lucky indeed 🙂🦊 oh, he’s a great dad, a pleasure to travel with! 👍
Wow, this looked like a wonderful adventure for everyone. So so cool and very productive! 🤗👍🏼🙌🏼
Thank you so much Irene 🦊 it sure was 🙂

It's not "Sermatt" the Z is pronounced strongly like "ts"
