Just a few weeks ago, I found myself in what can only be described as true photographic nirvana. I was standing on the edge of a high cliff, completely surrounded by a breathtaking natural spectacle. In the glow of the setting sun, majestic Andean Condors soared above and below me, while Carunculated Caracaras darted through the sky. I didn’t know what to photograph first. I was overwhelmed. There are moments when photography is “just” fun. But this… this was pure photographic ecstasy. The kind of experience I might not encounter even once a year. And what about you? What photographic moments make your pulse race? I’d love to hear about them in the comments on this issue of Photography News.

In this article, I will share my experience taking photos of the muskox in Norway’s Dovrefjell National Park in the heart of winter. You can consider this my continuation of the essay “Photographing the Muskox in a Winter Wonderland” previously published on Photography Life by Dr. Michael Rübhausen.
