Great capture - looks like Moma Bear is saying: What got I into with my 3 babies?

Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken in Eastern part of Finland, could be called Bear district. Martinselkonen in Kainuu is the exact place.

Time

All this happened in the middle of the night. During midsummer you shoot all night long.

Lighting

In the night the lighting is quite even, all the sunlight is bounced. Mother bears hair is so fine, it shines in very dimm lighting conditions.

Equipment

Canon 6D, 200mm +1,4 tc, tripod

Inspiration

To see those wild cubs playing is enough, photos will come if they are coming.

Editing

Basic Lightroom, whites, blacks, contrast, noise reduction and crop.

In my camera bag

Canon 6D, 7Dmk2, 15mm , 20mm, 300mm, tc 1,4 and 2x, tripod, 10x grey gel.be

Feedback

Be patient, there s much to happen all the time, you just have to concentrate in one at the time. Usually the best shots are taken, when animals arrive in the area.
