August Snowstorm

[dana]

I found this grizzly feeding in an August snowstorm above the Arctic Circle a few years ago. I tried to take some long distance shots but the camera kept focusing on the big snowflakes instead of the bear. I worked the wind and terrain to my favour and crawled to within 70 metres where I was able to capture some quick snaps and then backed out without the bear even having a clue I was there. Was a very memorable experience that I will never forget.

I always enjoy looking at your photos... even if I do think keen interest sometimes overcomes concern for self-preservation. Been there too just didn't have a camera!

Those tundra Grizz are something else. I miss being up in that part of the world. Thanks for the share.

Seems photobucket must be down. Just goes to show why there aren't many that share photos on an archaic web design. Hahaha

Are you not afraid of someone scooping your pic and selling it? I know there have been cases of that with cat hunters..

I think you can put a watermark on them to copyright them
