I found this black bear a good 20ft up this rosebud tree (not sure what species of tree to be exact) on Monday morning. I had visions of recreating an image very similar to Paul Nicklen's famous spirit bear nat geo cover :).
Looks to a 3-4 year old bear and not that big for this time of year. He is clearly burning too many calories balancing himself in these bushes and I have no idea how those small branches held it's weight.
Camera Techs | Canon 1DIV |500mm F4 II | F6.3 | 1/500 | ISO400 | Handheld - In hindsight I should have added the 1.4x and taken a monopod along but I was on my mtn bike and didn't pack enough gear.
Not as sharp as I would have liked and I may tighten the crop from the RHS. WDYT?
Cheers
Jamie
