Photographing Pallas Cats in Mongolia | -30ºc w/ Nikon Z8

In case you dont make it to the end: there is a collection of images that didn't get filmed at 26:40 📷

-30c no wonder the cats can look grumpy. Beautiful images. Thank you.

i can't express in a youtube comment how much i appreciate that you share how difficult it is for you. as an amateur photographer, it is so important to see that the pros can have a rough go as well. Especially as you are normally a landscape focused photographer, to see you branch out and shoot wildlife really really gives me hope for long-term success.

Deeply appreciate you for visiting my country, Mongolia. You passion and positivity made the hard cold winter looks just nothing. All the best for your future trips. Welcome back again when the time allows. In fact I didn’t know about this wild cat

I've been watching your videos for years, I can honestly say this was one of your best.

Awesome. From someone in West Australia facing a +40C day tomorrow watching someone in a -30C environment is just unimaginable but mentally cooling. Fantastic images.

Absolutely stunning. The stark beauty of isolation. Your photos of the wildlife..... priceless !!! Thank you Thomas for having us on board for this adventure as we watch from the comforts of our homes.

Think the only other video I have watched where the place has been so desolate was Morten Hilmers trip to Ellesmere Island, Canada to capture the artic wolf so it's fitting Thomas you were also looking to capture such an elusive animal as well. What a wonderful end to a very enjoyable series and I'm sure you have memories now to last a lifetime

Those cats are absolutely adorable! The Mongolia trip has been an absolute treasure, with all its ups and downs. Amazing videos as always, Tom!

Mongolia during winter! Cold -30C degree with brutal snowing wind, but nothing of that matters, when one could find and photograph a wild Cats, with the name Palla Cats Hats off for Thomas H and rest of the team that survived and shot great images🎩👍

You should visit in the spring or summer when nature's power and life are fully displayed. It's a time when life blossoms vividly, contrasting the harsh winter depicted in your video. Witnessing countless herds of goitered gazelles and saigas, massive bustards strolling through the steppe, majestic Bactrian camels wandering gracefully against the backdrop of sunsets, Przewalski's horses, and of course, the vast herds belonging to the nomads, with their horses, sheep, goats, and cows, truly showcases the vibrant ecosystem.

Wildlife photographer of the year?? You should enter those Tom . Outstanding pictures and fantastic filming/editing. Top job

OMG I loved this video so much. Thank you Thomas. 🙏Such great photos. Yup, another Canadian here having a good chuckle well before you brought us up in the video. Just shovelled out this morning after the second storm in 12 days. The first storm lasted three days and we were 'storm stayed' for five days before we could get out to the road. Gad I'm still chuckling.🤪

That first image of the fox was awesome.

The images of the cat running towards you are stunning! What an experience the whole trip must have been.

Cats...check! Snow....Check! Photography....Check! Gawd, what wasn't to absolutely love in this episode?! Loved it! Thank you for sharing.

Absolutely mesmerising, thank you so much.

Wow the Pallas cat photo towards the end is awesome. Brilliant video, Thomas.

Amazing adventure. I was expecting bigger vehicles with snow chains on the tyres. I felt really bad for your tour operator & helpers having to dig the vehicles out all the time. Bloody hard work. Your photographs from all the Mongolia videos are breathtaking. What an experience. Thanks for taking us along with you, loved it from the comfort of my warm home! LOL.

Watching your video is as close as I will ever get to the wilds of Mongolia. Loved the cats.
