This is the view back towards the Banff Gondola building. Climbing to the top of the walkways the view is amazing with a 360 degree view of mountains

This sunset was on January 1 2016, great start to a new year.

Lucky enough to catch this Grizzly Bear while crossing a single lane bridge on a back road near Tumbler Ridge B.C.

Caught these Ducks taking off the lake just after sunset.

Taken on a frosty winter day. The frost was thick on all the trees and plants, throw in the sun low in the sky and the colours of the clouds and you

Location

This photo was taken near a little town in Alberta called Robb. We frequently travel this road looking for Wildlife.

Time

This was early evening, we were on our way home when we encountered this Grizzly Bear. The mother Grizzly and her two Cubs were in the ditch eating weeds.

Lighting

It was actually a little dark as the sun had gone behind a hill so the Bears were in the shade.

Equipment

I used my Sigma 150 - 500 mm lens. Though I did not have to zoom in as the Bear was very close. I used a gel pad on my Jeep window to keep the camera still.

Inspiration

Love wildlife and we had seen this family of Grizzlies a week before in the same area. It was great to see them again.

Editing

I used Lightroom to get the lighting a little brighter.

In my camera bag

Normally I carry my Canon 7D mark ii camera with my Sigma 150-500 mm lens. I also have my Canon t3i with my Sigma 16-300 mm lens. Then I have a tripod and a gimbal mount with extra batteries and cleaning cloths.

Feedback

Be wary of how the Animal reacts to you. Seconds after taking this picture we had to drive off because the bears was very interested in us and our Jeep. He was coming over to see us, so we quickly drove off.
