Some of the best places to fish were at the base of the falls. Here are a couple of bears checking out the pools just below. One of them is Snaggletooth. Bruce

Another nice series Bruce, what an experience... definitely on my bucket list.

I like #3 best... surprisingly sharp at 1/25 sec.

Wow, fairly close, and nice exposures! Pretty exciting to witness that! Great job!
Forgot to ask what lens did you use to get a 400mm @ f5.0?

Great shots, as usual, Bruce. Love the look the bear is giving you in #2, but #3 is my favorite.

Bruce has the light and maneuverable 400 f2.8, so he can get those lovely low-light shots. This particular lens was partly sponsored by the national chiropractic organization to increase their business.

Kirk, you are right, it was very difficult to get a sharp one at such a slow shutter speed, but I took several hoping the bear would hold still. Bruce

Mark is correct, he knows my 400 2.8 and how sore my back is when I have to pack it in as I did here. I do not think my back would have gone one more foot carrying it when I left. Bruce
