Wide angle lens for this shot, Alistair?
Doug, if you are asking if I were unconscionably close to a grizzly family, the answer is yes. However, the focal length was 200mm.
If it is of any comfort Alistair was shooting over my shoulder. The precise distances are best left unsaid. Don’t ask about the shots taken about 45 seconds later.
I’m laughing. reminds me of the day i had an oil pan leak, walked ten miles to the highway, hitch-hiked 30 miles to quesnel (I was out in the wilds working with a treeplanting team) then back and when i came out from under the car after replacing it, there was a black bear about 30 feet away eating greens in the ditch. when we saw each other we both turned and ran; him to the bushes and me into the car.
I’m imagining Alistair taking pictures of Derek, as he feeds the cubs marshmallows…
Such a great opportunity for you guys.
Such beautiful creatures!
