Some results of my most successful bear photography trip yet

The number of high quality images both my clients and myself took in the first week of August 2013 continues to stun me, in a good way. Every time I open Lightroom to go over the images I keep finding another keeper that I need to process.  Spending 2 full days at my favorite creek (I will share it with you when you book a trip) was the ticket for success on action shots.  Here I just wanted to post a small slideshow of charging/diving bears.  I estimate I have over 40 publishable images in excellent focus with great action.  One of the benefits of this creek is we line up on one bank, and the bears are right across from us on the other.  Luckily the fish are in between allowing us to get great shots, often coming right at us, as the bears dive for fish.  It also allows for great "broadside" action if the bears are up or down river from us.   Next year I'm bringing some tilers knee pads as I found the best POV was when I was kneeling in the water; good thing the lodge provides chest waders.   This is just a few and hope you enjoy.
