Another successful Brown Bear Photo Trip

Well, both my clients and I had some wonderful bear shooting in Katmai National Park from August 1 through August 4 this year.  We visited 3 different locations, Little Koo, Margot Creek, and we went to Morraine Creek twice.  All had bears, the most activity was at Morraine but Margot has beautiful backgrounds to enhance your images.  The weather was typical SW Alaska weather, highs in the upper 50’s low 60’s with some wind and rain.  Cloudy every day; some day I will photograph bears in the sun in SW AK but not in the last 3 years.  We did not visit Brooks this year as I planned the trip for later.  By August 1 there were only a couple bears left which is what I expected.  Brooks is still a fantastic place to go but timing is everything when it comes to fish running and the bears that follow.  Both Rex and Ginna Short, and Clay and Carla Smith were happy enough with their images they were willing to share them with me for this site.  So my first post will just include a couple of my images but many more of theirs.  I attend workshops and training myself, and I thought you might be even more interested in what the attendees took than I so have a look at these wonderful shots from the brown bear capital of the world, Katmai National Park.  All of the photos in the slide show below are from my guests.  I'll be posting more of mine later and on my facebook page.

This photo by Carla Smith of the mother fishing with her 2 cubs in the background is amazing. As is the one with the red salmon.
Can I ask you what focal length you were at?
what aperture did you use, fairly wide I imagine to get the blur of the cubs. Also what about ISO and SS for these shots.
I am off to Lake Clarke soon and would love some tips. I plan on taking my Tamron 150-600, tripod and 70-200 with 2 times teleconverter.
Thanks so much Paula
