Yesterday a polar bear, today a coastal brown bear. This one was taken a few years back at Lake Clark National Park in Alaska. The bears were heading to the shoreline at low tide in hopes of catching a few silver salmon spawning from a nearby river. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 310mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/1600th of a second.
What a dramatic image, Sean! You captured drama in the movement of the bear that plays out beneath a dramatic sky . It must have been exciting to be there to see it in person. Bet you couldn’t wait to see the results on a large screen!
Great, great shot! Such a muscular, healthy looking bear, thrashing through water, capturing the motion in stop action. You even got a great look at those amazing claws in mid=stride. Glad you weren’t one of the “low tide snacks” he was looking for!
