I really like photographing wild bears. Shame I don't live anywhere near them!

Thank you Click, you're very kind! That's the Mama bear next to him on the right. I've got some additional images I've not processed yet. There were 3 cubs and the mother, all up about 35'-40' in the tree, taking a little siesta. This one seemed kind of over the nap thing...

Looking forward to seeing them.

Very nice pics everyone. I will post my bear pic later. It's from the fall of 2013. It would climb the tree and break a branch off the tree. It would climb down and eat the fruit. I only saw it once and was lucky to get at least one keeper.

How about a large male polar bear from about 20 feet With nothing between us but camera, lens and some air. 8)

Not that brave really. I "forgot" to mention it was a vertical space. He was looking right up at the camera noise. The only brave bit was the wife was standing behind me. But I didn't think she would push me. ;D

This was horizontal space and just enough to feel almost comfortable. North west British Columbia off the Nisga'a highway. He was a very healthy specimen and sizing me up carefully.

He looks healthy alright. I would love to go back to BC to see the bears again.

An older shot from a trip to a fishery in Southeast Alaska plus a couple of new shots from an area near Katmai NP. The polar bears were taken in Churchill.
