p.1 #1 · Smoky Mountain Black Bears

Congratulations to Steve Perry for winning Feature Thread of the Week with 3 votes - View Previous Winners

It's been awhile, but I was finally able to put together some of my black bear captures from the Smokies. All but #2 are from this year.

Looking forward to getting back down there this summer for a few more

All taken with a D4 and usually a 600mm lens + 1.4TC

Let me know what you think and thanks in advance for your comments

Steve:

An excellent series. 1 and 2 are dynamite IQ. I like the poses in the others but they are not up to the quality of the first two.

They're all great Steve, but my favorite is the first one. That little guy, you want to take home with you.

Fantastic Steve! Give me shout when you head this way. You probably can find the bears easier than I can and they are my neighbors.

I think the first and last shots are outstanding. Nice work with an 850mm focal length at 1/400 as well!

fantastic shots Steve, on top of being great shots they all also nail the cuteness factor

Fun (and good) shots Steve. The cubs are so cute (unlike those from Chicago). Sure a lot of green reflected onto the snout of the first one.

A great set Steve. I'd be happy with any of these, but the first two stand out ~ Ron
