A quick interruption of the Africa picks to report on this week’s activity up at the camera trap. Lots of deer, raccoons and rabbits, but also a bobcat and this young(ish) black bear. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 17-35mm lens (at 19mm) ISO 500, f/14 at 1/200th of a second, Cognisys camera box, trail monitor and remote flash units.

That’s an awesome portrait of a black bear! I love the details in its face. Nicely done, Sean!
Thanks Sue. The wet fur added a bit extra detail in the fur.
His head looks out of proportion with his body!
That’s the nature of the 19mm focal length which distorts perspective.
Now we know why the teddy bear is still a beloved children’s toy. Wonderful capture!
Adorbs!
This particular bear brings back memories of my stuff childhood bear. He’s packed away, I should find him. 🐻
Ha, I think I knew a bear similar to this one too.
