The salmon run was smaller than normal this year. The water level was also low during the trip, so the bears were concentrated in one location.

I always enjoy your bear photos, Tom, especially the one showing the fish almost in the bear's mouth that you entered in our photo contest several years ago You had me hooked on bear photography from then on.

Thank you for the nice complement. Typically I enjoy landscape photography the most. It is challenging trying to capture the broad vistas that Alaska has to offer. But bear photography tops everything. Now if I could just make a living at it....

Great shots!!! What lens did you use for such clarity. I'm assuming you were not too close. :)

The lens used on the first three photos was a Nikon 200mm f2. The lens used for the last photo was a Nikon 500mm f4.
