What lens are you using for these? Thanks Nello... the 70-200 F4 for most of these, except for the portrait of the bear.. that was with the 300 and 1.4 TC. May 09, 2008 at 05:21 PM

Terry D Offline Image Upload: On First bear of 2008 and rams...(13 pics) Oh God... you and Lou and the bears... How far away were you from it Shelley? I love to see pics of em, but I don't think I could do bears close up. Very nice series... beautiful shots of the Rams on the hillsides. Terry May 10, 2008 at 12:44 AM

lhdvries Offline Image Upload: Off First bear of 2008 and rams...(13 pics) Wow, I'm so envious !!. Beautiful shots, all. I kind of like 11 the best, but wouldn't want my life to depend on having to pick just one. May 10, 2008 at 01:38 AM

Psych101 Offline Image Upload: Off First bear of 2008 and rams...(13 pics) Fabulous bear shots, Shelley. You must have been waaay too close unless you were in your car. The ram shots are unbelievably good, but those bear close-ups are stunning and so hard to get. Very well done. I always enjoy your work. Carole May 10, 2008 at 12:34 PM

OwlsEyes Offline Image Upload: On First bear of 2008 and rams...(13 pics) Wow are these images amazing. I really like the ram portraits backed by the evergreens... While the bears are great, I think the young ram jumping from ledge to ledge is an awesome capture! cheers, bruce May 10, 2008 at 04:09 PM

AhrenL Online Image Upload: Off First bear of 2008 and rams...(13 pics) #1 & #14 are my favorites. How do you pick your border colors? By each individual shot? Do you sample colors from the capture? May 10, 2008 at 04:58 PM

Thanks Darren... you'll definitely have to make a trip out there. Just spent the weekend there....LOTS of bighorn sheep around, and after numerous trips up Cameron Lake road... saw the same bear cub twice. May 12, 2008 at 02:56 PM

Some how it seems that perhaps that bear was a little closer than you may have expected, what a beautiful coat of fur. The rams are very cool and massive, a few of your shots show a great perspective with the mountains in the BG and ridge line. Seems the ones on the run were feeding and got spooked up What a wonderul rugged outdoor hike that was, glad you shared it Karl Thanks Karl... this was no hke... just driving around Waterton. The bear cub was walking along the road... and when I came, he just sauntered over to the edge and just took his time looking around.. the bear shots were taken from the car. And the rams on the run... another person spooked them. I was sitting comfortably observing them. May 12, 2008 at 02:58 PM

shelleyc Offline Image Upload: On First bear of 2008 and rams...(13 pics) anthony whitmo wrote: Back to the home herd I see Shelley Well done. The Ram always strikes a very powerful pose. The Bear looks like it was pretty darn close. How often do you see these guys a year? I've only seen one bear in the wild, it was at yosamite. And as I got out to take a few pics the Ranger appeared out of nowhere to scare it off as it was drawing a large crowd on the side of the road. Anthony Thanks Anthony.... last year, I saw so many bears, but did spend alot of time in Waterton. This year... hmmm , just got back from a weekend in the mountains. We got a heavy snow there on Friday, and after LOTS of driving around, only saw the same cub as I showed here.. and in the same spot. But it may be early, or our timing was just off. We'll see. We will camp there for 10 days in June with the hopes of finding some cubs. I was close to the cub, but he was on the road, and these were taken as he meandered off the road, and before he dropped down into a hillside where I lost sight of him. May 12, 2008 at 03:04 PM
