Polar bear sleeping high above the cliffs. He was about 20-30m up. On this island have been 3 PB's hanging around with a herd of Walruses. One of the PB's has been in bad shape, hungry for sure. Maybe they try to catch a Walrus, but naturally they don't! Have read that when the hunger is to big they give a try. Other PB's I have seen eating sea weed on the beach. All waiting desperate that the ice comes back!. No trash in this image
Only a full moon.
We took turns to photograph this PB up there with the 5 zodiacs. Many have only horizontal images, I have both. Thanks to a little flea I took along this trip from Steve K. I certainly like the vertical better. I took 497 images of this PB, since light was gone from the sun, AF did not pick up the PB very often, my MKIV was at the end the better run with this one. But have a few images with a wider view, as well with the waterline to see how high he was up there!
Conditions to shot, rough sea, all in the boat moving a bit faster, since that kind of image is not out there very often. All trying hard and of course fast moves make a zodiac shake more. My flea told me, take your time and I did, but was hard to have a still hand when the "ground" is shaking than my body shakes too!!!. We spent about 1-2 hours just with him.
Have to add, I took 497 images, just because I wanted the moon to sit where I wanted. I have images the moon is just everywhere. The thing was, get the zodiac driver to drive where I want and hopefully no wave coming to drift us back! Worked for a bout 10 imagesNot because of the driver, no, because the sea has it's own mind!
This is FF, my LR procedure, WB, a graduate filter, tried to get more out of the moon. PS Fine tuning and ripping my .... off for detail in the PB!! Nada. Struggling with high ISO!
MKIV
ISO whopping 4000 ( everything below was just not going, well some did with the shorter lens 70-200 & 2x )
Lens 300mm f/2,8 & 2x ext. III
f/5.6 1/800
Fee free to rip it apart, but also puzzle it together again![]()








Not because of the driver, no, because the sea has it's own mind!

I love the structures of the stonewall, the comp with the moon, and the fantastic sleeping bear. Lovely colors too. All working so good together. I clearly understand you seeing this possibility and having to work for it. It was worth it. All I can say is WOW. Maybe some will comment on that some of the shadows is all black. That donīt bother me, I like that there is some deep black there. OH... just one thing. I think your logo is a bit to big and dominant. 

was looking badly for the Thank you button, was lost with last update of the website, I guess!
