A puzzle shot that involved vacation bordom, a bottle of wine, two lighting setups, and standing still for a 30 second exposure.
My affair with the Hasselblad turns into a three-some with the 20D.
For most of us humans, fishing for salmon or any other species of fish can be a sport of patience, an all day affair just to catch a few fish, or even none at all. It seems to many to be the sport of it all, in fact many of us "catch and release" just for the mere fun of the catch. Not so for the brown bears on the Russian River of the Kenai Peninsula. They show up for duty - and it's usually very fast, very efficient, & very many, but most importantly - for a very definite purpose. These bear fish for fattening up on the salmon, as it's a much more efficient way to ingest their calories than munching on grasses or berries. So when the salmon run is in full swing, so are the bears. :-)
When they enter the river, they mean business generally. They position themselves to gain access to the salmon, often times where they're in an eddy situation and swarming, so to speak. Much better luck for the bears. With the salmon in sight, they run and pounce on the struggling salmon which are trying to make their way upstream to complete their life cycle. Sometimes the salmon get away from the teeth of the bears, but most often an unlucky one ends up in their powerfully clenched jaws and merciless shaken around, bitten into, and eventually devoured. Remnants are then discarded for the gulls to clean up after, very appreciative of the bears success.
When you can position yourself at their level and wait patiently for them to spring into action, one can feel a part of the action - quite excited, yet a bit sorry for the salmon, and very willing to document the efforts of the bears. People always ask if we get afraid of the bears - but in reality, as long as the salmon are plentiful, we know that they are happy and obsessed with catching them and pretty much disregard us completely. That being said, we know that we are guests in their outdoor home and conduct ourselves accordingly. Sure wish that everyone did the same. :-)
Thanks for stopping by to view and for all of your comments. Will be catching up, so thanks for your patience also.
