Papa Bear

ISO200 60mm f/4 1/160sec

Heres the last of the edits from the other days zoofari adventure. I always love the bear exhibit as the large beasts pace from side to side and occasionally take a dip in their bear pool.

I was drawn to this photo because of the motion that it had as the bear had sneezed as it was making its turn to pace back in the other direction, leaving a bit of motion in the paw and head. Last year at the exhibit I seen the two bears (One brown, one black) get in a bit of a brawl, and was sticking round hoping that I would be lucky enough to capture a similar quarrel through the lens. No such luck this time around.

As you can probably tell over the last few posts, Ive really enjoyed shooting and editing these “wild life” shots, and its made me kind of excited to go on some actual wildlife photo adventures in the future. Im not one for hunting and killing animals, but I am down to do some big game shooting with the ol’ canon!
