p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · I can bearly stand it.

Here are some shot from last week's meet up with Mitesh. As I said earlier, Mitesh is a blast to shoot with, and we had lots of fun. So here are a few shots I felt were nice enough to post here. I am posting them in the order they were shot - no story here.
Thanx for stopping by, and comment if you would like to ~ Ron

1- Cropped on the sides only.

2- Cropped on the left side.

3- Cropped slightly on the top and more on the sides.

4- Cropped slightly from the sides.

5- I've never seen a bear eat water plants. Shot as a portrait and cropped letft and right only.

Super detail in all of those Ron. The bears have a bit of a lavender tint that you might want to address.

One more.

6 - The best shot I took of the mother and cub. More of a crop than I would like.

Wonderful shots. I like the grassy environment versus being blocked by trees.

What a great time you must have had and the photos are wonderful Ron...one day I am hoping for a bear to find its way into my viewfinder

Great captures, Ron. The last one of the cub is my favorite.

I hope you were in a vehicle when you took your bear shots. Years ago I came across a cinnamon colored black bear with two cubs in Northern New Mexico and she gave me a look that made it clear I should leave. I was back packing, but it took no time for me to put some space between us. I've read that bears can be very unpredictable, but I am far from an expert on the subject.

Thanks for sharing.

Very nice, Ron. Really like the pose of the fawn. You nailed the exposure.

Nice shots Ron. I would crop a little less and leave a bit more of the background. Especially in the first shot (unless here was something distracting you wanted to crop out).

Also, I would not feel the need to "explain" what you cropped. Cropping is part of the art of doing the print.

1,4 and 6 are my picks of this lovely set Ron. Looks like the wet weather did not keep you from having a great day.

Absolutely great shots. Thanks for posting them. Gives me hope for bears in western Maryland.

#6 is very fine but #3 is the winner here. Great shot. These bears are much tougher to shoot than those big brown bears.

Thanx Phillip. Sometimes I can shoot from the vehicle, but most of these I stepped out of the car.

Thanx Ryan. The fawn was fun because she kept running around.

Thanx Jerry. Some here like to know how much the shots are cropped, but I did get carried away this time...

Most of these are full frame - at least in one dimension, so there was not much more bg to add. What crops I did make were for comps, but some could have used a bit more space.
