Just back from a week in Alaska. Despite the fact that it rained almost the entire time, it was still a great trip and it was awesome to get out there and photograph the coastal brown bears in Lake Clark National Park, as well as a few other creatures like moose, fox and dall sheep. I have many photos to go through. I took quite a few of the bears racing through the water at low tide, pouncing (or at least trying to pounce) on silver salmon. This is just one of those shots. More to come, some with the great mountain scenery in the background — for this shot I was shooting almost directly out to the open waters of Cook Inlet. There are some mountains back there, but the overcast conditions were keeping them from being visible. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 360mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/1250th of a second
great pic. ) looks like the the bear has brown leather gloves to do some dirthy work, ) or do the arms and paws look this due the flash, ) or they nonamabnle color ? ) it still is great pic./ )
Holy crap, looks like he’s planning on having you for lunch! The sharpness of the water droplets and his fur is so freakin’ cool. So excited to see more!
You truly captured the power of a bear in full launch mode. Fantastic shot–the mountains would have been a superfluous distraction from this amazing beast.

Love the look in the bear’s eyes. Must have been a great experience. Can’t wait for o see more of your shots.
Wow! What a big boy. And those hands! I agree with Michael….looks like the bear is wearing gloves.
