  • I photograph Pallas Cats and lots of other wildlife in East Mongolia with my Nikon Z8. The temperature gets down to well below -30ºc. This was a real challenge. Thanks to Squarespace for their sponsorship. For 10% off your next domain or website visit www.squarespace.com/heaton

    i can't express in a youtube comment how much i appreciate that you share how difficult it is for you. as an amateur photographer, it is so important to see that the pros can have a rough go as well. Especially as you are normally a landscape focused photographer, to see you branch out and shoot wildlife really really gives me hope for long-term success.

    You should visit in the spring or summer when nature's power and life are fully displayed. It's a time when life blossoms vividly, contrasting the harsh winter depicted in your video. Witnessing countless herds of goitered gazelles and saigas, massive bustards strolling through the steppe, majestic Bactrian camels wandering gracefully against the backdrop of sunsets, Przewalski's horses, and of course, the vast herds belonging to the nomads, with their horses, sheep, goats, and cows, truly showcases the vibrant ecosystem.

    Think the only other video I have watched where the place has been so desolate was Morten Hilmers trip to Ellesmere Island, Canada to capture the artic wolf so it's fitting Thomas you were also looking to capture such an elusive animal as well. What a wonderful end to a very enjoyable series and I'm sure you have memories now to last a lifetime
