WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY close to home ⎸ My winter projects

Recently, I completed my service as a combat photographer for the Norwegian Army. Since then, I have dedicated all my time to wildlife photography, and have had a handful different local photography projects. Through videos and images, I shine a light upon the fascinating creatures that brave the brutally cold winter close to Oslo, and in this video, I bring you along to experience some of my highlights from this winter.
The species I photograph in this video are: whooper swan, goosander (common merganser), common goldeneye, white-throated dipper, Eurasian river otter, bohemian waxwing, smew, mallard and coot.

[@TomReichner]

I love how perfectly level your horizon line is at the 0:03 mark ..... sadly, there isn't enough of this precision out there these days, and too many folks are sloppy about such things

[@TobiasGjerde]

Thanks for noticing the little details! I put a lot of effort into trying to perfect the small things, so I appreciate you noticing :)

[@marcorossignoli224]

Magnifico, as always.

Super nice shots. Are they all made with a maximum of 300mm?

[@TobiasGjerde]

Thanks a lot! Well most of my images are only with the 300, but I use the 2X extender quite a lot as well

[@KareHoftvedt]

This is my backyard 🙂

[@TobiasGjerde]

What an amazing place to live!

[@kurtis8384]

Quick question. Why did you choose the r6ii over the r5?
Im looking to upgrade but i can't decide which one

[@TobiasGjerde]

Hi, I believe I sent you a direct message on Instagram elaborating on this. But the quick answer: this video was shot before I got my R5
