- Join me on a train journey through Norway to photograph the pre-historic animals of Dovre Fjell in -22 Degrees Celsius, using my OM System OM-1 and the M.Zuiko 150-400mm f/4.5. Along with @trondwestby, @oddbjrnaustevikfoto and @GunnarDresler we enter the mountains of Dovre and find a baby muskox.

This is my first time seeing a video of a muskox. It is a beautiful animal. So sad about the young one. You told the story well. Thanks
Thank you 🙂
Trond and the spoon situation 😂 Great and inspiring video Espen!
There’s always one 😅 thanks Olle!
A wonderful but sad story Espen, nature is so cruel at times!😢 This video is a great tribute to the poor young Muskox!
Thank you Peter 🙂
What an amazing story and film told with such respect and admiration for these superb animals. Sad ending but a lasting tribute to the calf. Well done.
Thank you David 🙂
Hi Espen that was amazing the images were fantastic I especially like the black and white ones, very sad about the young musk ox
Thank you Raymond :)
Espen, I have watched literally thousands of videos on YT... and let me tell you... that video had everything, excellent camera work, excellent storytelling, the wonderful scenery, not to mention the friendships forged, but also the harshness of life itself.... excellent work Espen... can't wait to see more from you...BR, Yoki...oh and totally agree on the coffee...lol..
Thank you so much Yoki, means a lot 🙂
So sad that the little calf didn't survive, and even though he will not know it , your pictures and video means we all got to share a little time with him. and that image is one I am unlikely to forget anytime soon. Thank you. . on a lighter note, the train trip from Bergen still looks amazing , It was very comfortable when I took it but without the cafe .( But that WAS 50 years ago 😉) I will have to take a look at Tronds video too . . Thanks for sharing another great view of our wonderful planet🙂
Thank you John 🙂 love that train journey!!
Great video Espen! Interesting to see the videoes from all 4, and that Gunnar apparently is everyones favorite! 🤣
Every group needs a short German. Apparently 1.83 is short :P just norwegian things.
😅 sneaky that one!
WOW! What a beautiful made video Espen! I can´t wait until our next adventure together :)
Thank you Trond :) Hardangervidda here we come 😃
Espen, what a fabulous film. Excellent work and love seeing others showing what the Olympus gear can do, in particular the 150-400mm.
Thanks a lot Daniel :)
Hi Espen,
what a really nice advenure and beautiful captures.
Thanks for share these unique moments with us.
Best Regards Mario

Thanks a lot Mario :)
While I sit here at 8:30pm its 27deg I could still feel the cold . Great production and of course wonderful images . I feel for the little guy nature while beautiful can be cruel .
Glad you enjoyed David :)
Excellent video and images, Espen! Thanks for sharing this amazing experience. I'm 76 now, but this video reminded me of what it was like when I was much younger and enjoyed doing things I wouldn't or couldn't dare do now. It's all wonderful and is a blessing that we can do these things and later have such wonderful memories. What beautiful creatures!
Thank you Greg 🙂
Thanks for sharing these great pictures.
Congratulations on a truly wonderful episode and introducing me to these extraordinary animals.
Thank you very much Catherine 🙂
That was fantastic.
Thanks a lot Brent :)
Love nature
One of your best videos! Nature is so beautiful but yet so unforgiving beautifully captured thank you
Thank you Evan 🙂
Well done, Espen. I really liked the background music, too. A fine adventure for you and your friends.
Thanks a lot Clifton 🙂
Hi Espen, Great video of your fantastic experience. And... Thanks twice as i ll travel next week to Norway for 3 months ! I discovered with your video this marvellous animal !
Thank you 🙂 have a great trip!
Great video Espen. Love the commentary and wide views
I watched Gunner's video but your my favourite😂
EEEEYYYYYYY, rude :P
😂 Thanks Robin!
Have just seen this, loved it and I love Scandinavia, also love wildlife. You're a great crew. 😊
Thanks a lot Janet 🙂
A great video Espen, albeit with a sad end. It was fun to see you all together. I asked my wife what she thought would be the collective noun for a group of UA-cam wildlife photographers. Without a moment’s pause and a straight face, she said, in a matter of fact manner, a boredom. 🤷🏽
🤣🤣🤣 thanks Julian! I definitely think Truls got a bit bored of us filming everything last year!
hi Espen
thank you for making this beautiful and impressive video with a sad touch.
Thank you 🙂
Wonderful episode Espen. Great story telling, and sad to see how harsh life can be for these creatures. Thank you!
Beautiful footage Espen. You guys make great team!! Glad you get to try that BWL :-).
Thanks a lot Narin 🙂
Love the story line along with the amazing photography.
Thank you Sue :)
What an Olympic effort, Espen! Thank you sir for a great production and, the confirmation of Olympus camera/lenses holding up in such harsh weather conditions! Outstanding pics and video!!!
Thanks a lot 🙂
¡Gracias!
Muchas gracias Javier 🙂
What beautiful photo's so lovely to see.
Sorry about the sad ending though.
Thankyou for taking us all with you, so lovely to see your friends
Thank you June :)
Wonderful video Espen, so much emotion. I loved the train ride and the friend photos. And of course the amazing musk ox photos incredible experience ❤️
Thank you so much Debbie 🙂
Fantastic video, fantastic impressions.... great Espen
Thank you Udo :)
Wonderful storytelling. Delightful photography.
Thank you Brian 🙂
Cracking video Espen; it's a magical place; I managed to visit Dovre last year. I will certainly have to plan a return in 2024. Nature can be cruel and unforgiving, but the little calf's death will mean other animals will benefit... Cheers Adam
Absolutely, thanks Adam 🙂
I want say only one word Espen.....wonderful video!!
Thank you so much Alberto :)
Superb video! Thank you for this beautiful voyage into nature.
Thanks a lot :)
Great movies and photos Espen !
Thank you 🙂

Thank you 🙂
Great storytelling Espen! Loved the progression. What an awesome adventure and trip
Thanks a lot Jeremy :)
Hi Espen. Really wonderful video. Muskoxes are so stunning. I really enjoyed the amazing trip. greets Stefan
Thank you so much Stefan :)
This was awesome. So calm and relaxing narration and great images. Thank you!
Thank you 🙂
Superb Espen I’ve just watched Trond and Gunners vlogs the same story told in different ways, mind blowing experiences for you all
Thank you so much :)
An amazing video and thanks so much for sharing. Tears welled up when you said the little one did not make it :( - nature can be harsh at times.
Thank you Judy :) it really can
Great camera gear set up and more importantly, great shots! I have an Oly EM1 Mark III and have been thinking of upgrading to the OM1...
Thank you Rob 🙂 it’s definitely worth an upgrade if you can spare the cash
Thank you for sharing - stay safe
Thank you Lars 🙂
Brilliant video Espen. great storytelling, and sad to see how harsh life can be for these mighty animals, fantastic episode Espen
Cracking video Espen.
Thank you 🙂
Great video. Others have said what I feel. Oh to be young and fit again!
Thanks Steve 🙂
What a great adventure. I enjoyed this video. Your storytelling is amazing.
Thank you very much :)
Wonderful storytelling behind the scenes, including all the highs and lows of nature photography. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Stephen 🙂
Brilliant video Espen. Life can be very cruel for some.
Certainly can, thank you Ron :)
Great story and photos, iv watched the videos from all four of you now, but just love the different angles and ways the story is being told. You do a great job getting us into what’s happening. Thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks a lot James 🙂
This is a truly beautiful video, Espen. We really get a sense of the environment that those incredible Musk Oxen live in: the beauty, the cold, the harsh reality. Thanks for the story and the images!
Thank you very much Peter 🙂
really awesome video, in all respects. wonderful story-telling here, some sad, some greatly uplifting. thank you!
Thanks Marshal, I like bringing out the contrast :)
Thank you for the beautiful video!
The poor little one... It can be heartbreaking as a photographer to watch such scenes and know that there's nothing you can do about it. The other day, I watched a fox with a bad case of fox mange and felt that same sadness and helplessness, knowing that this once beautiful animal, now a shadow of itself, would soon die.
Thank you. That’s very sad
Excellent vlog enjoyed it very much. On the bucket list .
Thank you Chris :)
Great video, fabulous storytelling and amazing photos!
Thanks a lot Jen, was an amazing trip :)
Espen beautiful video,Tronth also has a nice expedition
Yes he’s got a great one, thank you 🙂
Lovely episode Espen great adventure and story telling 👍
Thank you :)
When you're done with that Lens .. send it my way ;) Great vid
Can you believe it, Trond took it back! 🤯
Wonderful storytelling throughout this video Espen, the images were superb showing just how these animals survive in the harshest extremes. Sad to see the young musk ox didn’t survive. On a different not, how feasible is it to photograph moose in Norway. Thanks again
Thanks a lot Bryan 🙂 hopefully I’ll find out later this year and I can let you know 🙂
I tip my hat to you all. Even in teen °F my fingers can't stand the cold let alone in minus temperatures. Thank you for sharing this beautiful story. Sad ending for the little one though.
😅 thank you very much Danny, I definitely needed some good gear to keep me warm
Super! Super!!!
Thank you 🙂
That was magnificent.
Thank you Malcolm :)
Super video Espen stunning , shame about the little one but nature is nature . 22:27

Great story and pictures, sad about the little one
Thank you 🙂
U got the big white lens. Are you gonna do a review on it ?
The remind me so much of the buffalo I saw in South Dakota.
Very nice stoory and nice to see other UA-camrs
Thanks a lot Kalle :)
What a Wonderfull visual storytelling.. unfortunately a sad ending for the calf, but its how hard nature is...
Thank you 🙂
superb
Thank you 🙂
Lovely
Thank you 🙂
Oh maaaaan, I missed the spoon. I will forever regret this! :P That is something I will not get to see, even with only 3 hours of driving. Did I mention that it only takes me 3 hours to get to Dovrefjell? It takes only 3 hours!
Lol
That's why I filmed it all and made this video, so you could experience the spoon :) yes, yes 3 hours - we know
@@EspenHelland It is actually 2,5, just saying ;)
great video
Thank you 🙂
Great video Espen. How did you enjoy the 150-400? I love mine! How much exposure comp did you dial in to get such great photos in the snow?
Thanks Chad :) Loved the lens! I tend to shoot manually and expose to the right using highlight alerts
That was a very sad video 😔. Poor little 😪
such a heartbreaking story about a little muskox....
You’re living the dream my man; embrace it…. Most can’t
Thanks Les!
It will let in the same amount of light, but you need to do a 2x on the DOF when you compare m4/3 to full-frame with the same focal range. It's never a direct comparison which is sad to see that so many still think it is. If it was that easy, there would simply be just one sensor standard, but because it isn't, you are wrong. That camera and lens setup will give the light of f/5.125 but the DOF of f/11.25 at 1000mm if it was full frame. Then you need to factor in the quality of the lens itself as well as the camera.
Try to compare m4/3 to m4/3 instead, and you'll quickly see that your own excitement will drop simply because now you'd be comparing apples to apples which is the only valid one.
m4/3 is not and never will be equivalent to full frame. It is different and you know that.
👏 well done mate. Not really a comparison video of camera systems this, but kudos on the use of decimal spaces 🙄
@@EspenHelland You are not my friend, and adults claim responsibility of one's own mistakes. I see that comparison from so many who choose a cheaper option, and the reason is to justify it all by telling the lie that there is no difference between sensors as if you're above physics.
I've heard all the excuses before and I'm just sick of it. Quality is real, and that just simply cost more because physics demand more if you want more out of it, and that simply cost more.
so sad for the little guy. is there like a wildlife sanctuary for these animals, where can take care of them until safely release in the wild?
You’d think so, but I suppose it would be quite a lot of effort. They try to keep this population at around 200 even culling them if it gets too large. Don’t understand why, would be better to try to reintroduce wolf to the area and have a better functioning ecosystem.
❤️👍
Great story, funny company and outstanding images! What do you want more?
Thank you Joerg 🙂
Did you have your own cabine in the train? And how much was the trip?
No, I was sitting in the Cafe when I was on my own. It's really cheap if you book in advance, think I got it all for around £40
