Hello, It's Me
Her Good Side
When it comes to wild animals, I would be lying if I said I ever had a plan when it comes to getting photographs. I don't have a blind and would never bait the animals. I never even know where they are going to be.
Serendipity rules... often I return home empty handed but other times something magical happens. On this occasion, I was just slowly cruising along a gravel road and as I crested a hill, this dark shape popped out of the bushes right on the side of the road. I probably muttered something profound to myself, like 'Holy ****, a bear!'
She was on the right shoulder of the road. I rolled down the passenger side window, grabbed my camera off the car seat, the bear popped her head out between some branches and posed and I took this shot, one handed.
Could have been a bit sharper but considering it was getting dark, I was pushing my camera to ISO 1000 and I had to reach across the truck and shoot this one handed.... well, can't complain.
(Does this color balance look ok?)
