KHUTZEYMATEEN Grizzly Bear , getting refreshed ! The tide was strong and brought us close to this young Grizzly as it played and searched the bottom for some food, the water dripping & claw splashing was entertaining to watch. The claws have grown during the wintertime but will wear down during the upcoming seasons as it forages under rocks, digs for clams etc. Taken during mid afternoon with sun getting lower , providing some rim lighting, with very tight framing.
Nikon D600 with lens at 400mm VR on normal, 1/640, F4, ISO320, Hand held in floating zodiac boat, about 5Pm BC Time, -.67 Meter adjustment,
Comments appreciated.

4 commentsSun was a constant companion over our shoulders mostly,... over the almost week-long Adventure. So we started out earlier each morning to take advantage of the quiet water and stillness that settles in with low misty clouds each day. But higher ISO were very evident from available low light. This sunny capture was later in the day with low and more favorable suns attitude in the sky.
Since the demise of the Leader of the Pack,the bears were nervous this season, with the teenage males jousting for the Leadership of the Khutzeymateen . A Nasty aggressive guy was quite dominant and overall a nervousness was evident within the" Valley of the Bears"
