    A wonderful but sad story Espen, nature is so cruel at times!😢 This video is a great tribute to the poor young Muskox!

    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..

    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🙂

    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!

    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.

      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.

  • @a8f235
    @a8f235 Рік тому

    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.

      @a8f235 Рік тому

      @@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.
