Just got back from Wapusk National Park, Manitoba, Canada. The temperature was a relative balmy -20C (-4F) with strong wind and blowing snow. 4 fruitless days of waiting, I finally got to see my first polar bear and spring cubs. We stood in the cold for 4 hours until the bears woke up and were rewarded with a once in a life time experience. I especially like this image as it shows the strong bond and emotion between Mother and cubs.
Canon 1DX2
600f4 II + 1.4X TC III, Gitzo 3530LS, RRS Ball head
1/1600, f11, ISO 1000
Large crop, about 30% left of full frame.
I wished I had put on the 2X, but with blowing snow and cold fingers, hard to do anything except to shoot.
Hope you like it.
