Behind The Lens

Location

The photo is taken at lake Clark in alaska

Time

It’s taken during mid day on a clowdy day.

Lighting

The mother bear was approaching us on the path and the cub behind her stoppped and gave me a curious look.

Equipment

Taken with a Nikon D4s and 600mm on a tripod.

Inspiration

For me the moment that our eyes meet is so precious and had to wait for this moment.

Editing

I normalised this shot and only did some levels adjustment.

In my camera bag

My wildlife kit consists of a Nikon D4s, D810, 600, 70-200.

Feedback

Have patience and be bear aware.
