Aww,man great shots! I would have loved to have been there! Dang! I love wildlife and these are some I'd love to photograph... Closest thing we have here is the Zoo with black bears "and they wouldn't let me in the exhibit to take close ups :( "


Man,be careful what you are wishing for.I definitely think that encounter was one too many and my knees were kind of weak for a couple of days.I do not mind meeting black bears face to face but brownies are bad news.

Much agreed on the brown bears as they are very temperamental, but I've got a 840mm lens for that reason, black bears on the other hand are calmer but still deadly! A friend of mine lives in the country and had a brown bear named "smokey", he got loose one day and the town Sheriff shot him, anyway, he was very friendly but that was before I got into photography. Smokey was more like a big puppy if you will.

Sure,black bears can do a good number on you as well but everybody who dealt with brownies has tendency to underestimate black bears.840mm lens wouldn`t do you any good here inside rainforest,the light levels are extremely low.Sorry to hear about Smokey.By the way the link to your website doees not work.

True, black bears are extremely powerful, but they are more calm than the great all mighty grizzly... They are also not as tempered as the grizzly.

I am currently working on my site again as it needs updated... Sorry it didn't work this time, I should have it up and going with in the next few days. Thanks for letting me know.
