As I have mentioned in previous posts, I am mainly a landscape photographer. However, there is nothing better than taking pictures of bears!

Thanks for you comments. I used Nikon's 500mm f4 G lens for all of the pictures, except the last one. The last picture I used Sony's 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 at 400mm.

The camera I used with the 500mm was a D850, it is a great combination. The big primes are expensive, but they are worth it. The background is smoother, and the focus speed is amazing.
