Reindeer in Rough Weather - Wildlife Photography on Svalbard

I am on Svalbard, Norway for about a month to do nature photography. I am focusing on wildlife and in this video I am lucky to find the Svalbard reindeer while a blizzard is hitting this archipelago.
My Nikon Z9 and the Nikon Z400mm 2.8 are being put to the test in this snow storm, and I am giving some tips on how to take care of it afterwards.
Temperatures ranges from just around 0 degrees Celsius down to minus 22 degrees celsius and the wind can be very brutal.

I am here just as the sun is about to return after 155 days of darkness and that gives me the best of both worlds. Dark nights, plenty of "Blue Hours" and some hours of daylight.
I am staying here for a little more than a month and while I am on Svalbard I am living in a small cabin close to Greendog - a dog yard owned by my good friends Martin and Karina.

This is the first episode in this small series about wildlife photography on Svalbard and I am looking forward to taking you behind the scenes when I am working in this beautiful region of the world and to share some great experiences and some photo tips with you.

Sorry I had to re-upload this video. I had a lot of issues with the white images burning out on YouTube.

Enjoy watching.
See you out there...
