Wild and elusive , can best explain this hungry bear.
The Mountains were still covered in the deep winter snow, Valleys were magnificent sites with high and very steep waterfalls of snow melt , cascading down the mountain slopes. Winds were turbulent at times on our mountainous flight . The Alaskan mountains can be seen in the distance of 25 miles. The Grizzly Bears of Northern BC are considered to be Very large, due to their rich diet. Seen eating the sedge grass which is very rich in protein and required to sustain them after their long winter dormancy period. Breeding season here and the Grunts & Snorts of competing males is hair raising and extremely exciting to witness. Taken @ 8;30 am BC Time , Raining, Overcast, but low wind Mist & low lying clouds moving and drifting with the quiet winds. Hand Held while drifting with the tide in a Zodiac boat , at lower tide. This low vantage point is ideal to show off the amazing bulk and size of the Honey coloured Grizzly. d700, with 70-200mm F2.8 with VR on normal @ 70mm. Almost Full Frame with some minor crop to level. 1/250, with F9 ( to get some depth of focus) ISO 450, -.67 Meter Compensation, .....Larger Version shows Excellent Detail.... Comments and Critique appreciated. Bill www.BillBickle.com Last edited by william bickle on Sat Sep 27, 2014 11:48 am, edited 1 time in total. |
