Grizzly family
Northern British Columbia in the Great Bear Rainforest where I was entertained for a short period of time by this Handsome Family. The Weather was like a Rainforest on Steroids !:) Very heavy rains constantly with some interludes of heavy mist . Anchored the mother ship for the evening but travelled into the River with a Zodiac boat and a gentle rising tide , where I came upon this AMAZING encounter with mature female Grizzly and her inquisitive and healthy three cubs. The cubs were busy digging for grubs and checking me out , with a watchful eye. Mother was very relaxed and not threatened by my presence , as she can be seen here , surrounded by the little guys. The opportunity to capture an image with All Eyes Open was a Challenge but with my slow movements and persistent attempts , Success!! Mud can be seen caked on moms front paws where she was digging and seeking food in the mud flats, she has worn down those amazing front claws shorter but the claws will keep growing and lengthen when the outside season ends and she and the cubs go into winter dormancy . D600, Taken @ 260mm VR on Active, Hand Held from floating Zodiac , 1/250,@ F5.6 ISO 1400, Mid Afternoon, cloudy, overcast, Rain. Slight crop to level. -.67 Manual Meter Compensation Comments and Critique appreciated. Bill www.BillBickle.com |
