What a nice pose from the fellow. Did you shoot this from your kayak? He looks kind of wet. Was it doing some swimming?

thanks. shot from 30 feet away on the land. the 500mm is too big to handle in a kayak and it needs a tripod.

Great shot and pose!

Quite a shot David! I hope you are using a 500 lens, or I would say you are jeaporidzing your limbs, or your whole body for that matter!

Holy cow, that's close! I purchased Mark of the Grizzly this year (on a photo trip to Mt. St. Helens) and read it while camping, in between hikes. Spooky stuff after dark. There is a chapter on a photographer who died photographing a grizzly; I'm too big of a chicken to get that close.

So what kind of dry bag did you use on the kayak?
Way cool. I love the shot. Nancy
