Grizzly Bear #399 Nursing Her Cubs

Grizzly Bear #399 Nursing Cubs

I posted this photo onto my 500px page and after the great response, I realized I didn’t have it on my blog yet. I got this late one night while plugged into a friend’s Canon 500mm and also seeing just how good the 7D could handle high ISO. It turns out that even though there is noise, it’s still pretty usable and I’m looking forward to making a few prints to test out just how big I can get away with.

The sun had just set, but that didn’t stop many of us from staying out and watching grizzly bear #399 and her three cubs. There were wildflowers, the cubs were active and there was great light, though not much of it. Regardless, I don’t pass up opportunities and this was a great one. Then she turned a great opportunity into a better one as she sat down to nurse and looked right into my camera.
