Photographing Alaska's Brown Bears

摘要

Last summer I won a trip to Alaska to rub elbows with the bears in Katmai National Park. These were not the bears at Brooks Lodge where there are more people than bears and the wait for your turn of 30 minutes on the platform may be four or five hours. These were the ones that live 150 miles from the nearest roads and the chances of seeing another person were very remote. Sounds like a pretty dumb, life-threatening adventure, doesn't it? Not so! It was an awesome trip that presented some photographic challenges, as well as great photos.
