I was fortunate to be in the right place at the right time last Thursday morning, capturing this image of a grizzly sow with her four cubs. This is on the beach at Naknek Lake in Katmai National Park (near Brooks Falls). I am a little bothered by the blur in the foreground caused by some out of focus foliage in front of me, but I'm happy that it's not too prominent. The weather was basically clear, except one might say it was raining mosquitoes (which can clearly be seen in the image). Light was scarce and I had to make compromises with iso and shutter speed, shooting way slower than I would have preferred.
Details: Canon 1D Mk2N, EF500 f4L IS lens tripod mounted, 1/160 at f4, iso 800 in natural light. This crop is approximately 2/3 of the original frame.
