Hi,

I really like this and the wolf capture and am looking foreword to seeing others!

Had I seen a brown bear looking right at me as is illustrated above, I’d have probably been too busy backing away to get the image you did!

You might also notice that the bear is running at you.

Great capture, Jaime. Is there a story here?

[Jaime Johnson]

Not a huge story with this one. I just spent three weeks with the grizzlies and managed to take thousands of images. I think the most important thing with the images is timing - I try to get the bear making eye contact, I try to be on the same level as the bear and I try to time the paws to catch one in the air as they walk.

Jaime,

"I try to get the bear to make eye contact"


If you do that with your thousands of pictures, that means, over and over, you are telling the bear, "Look at me!" Why does not that result in the bear looking at you as an invader or threat?
