Location
This image was taken along the Alaskan Highway in the Yukon Territory of Canada.Time
This image was taken around 11 AM. At this time of year and this far north, the sun rose at about 3 AM, lol.Lighting
The sun was coming at a low enough angle to give us great lighting. I would have asked her to turn her head slightly for a better profile, but . . .Equipment
I took this image from the safety of my car with a Nikon D5100 and a Tamron 150-600mm lens.Inspiration
When travelling the Alaska Highway, one always is aware of the plentiful wildlife that may wander into the road ahead of you. In this case this female Grizzly and her two cubs were grazing along the road. Another car had stopped to observe, and right after I snapped this image across the highway, the other driver foolishly got out of his car to get a better image. Instead of attacking, she gathered her cubs and brought them to our side of the road and spent another 20 minutes grazing and playing with them outside our car window. Beautiful creatures!Editing
No post processing other than a slight crop.In my camera bag
I carry this Nikon D5100 with three lenses and a Canon Powershot SX710HS compact camera.Feedback
Be adventurous, don't get out of your car in this type of situation, keep it in gear with the foot on the brake, carry bear spray!!!
