It just takes your breath away being so close to such an admirable animal. This bear was foraging for branches laden with berries.
Canon 50D with 500L f4 IS lens @ 1/320,f4, ISO 800, +2 exposure compensation.
Slight crop to avoid unwanted branch. This was an evening shot in the shade with the sun already on the horizon. This explains the high ISO, low shutter speed, +2 exposure compensation, the use of IS and magenta tint.
Cheers,
Mike
