Thanks again Howard!

Thanks Don, it is also expensive to watch the bears eating salmon!

I have had Brooks Falls on my bucket list for many years. I do more landscape photography than wildlife but I am learning. Brooks Falls is a unique place in the world, close proximity to the bears while standing up on overhead platforms. Getting to the platforms is via a 1 mile trail and several times we encountered close bears coming along the trail. Fortunately they are getting all the food they want during the salmon runs and don't take any interest in people. Of course we were not allowed to have so much as a stick of Chapstick in our pockets or packs.

The experience was even more amazing than I had imaged it would be!

Many people had the huge lenses but my biggest lens is a Nikon 300mm PF and often I used the 70-200 lens. No tripods are allowed on the main platforms but elbows on the railing worked good for me.

Absolutely! Numbers 1,5,6,7,8,9 I focus stacked. Numbers 2,3,4,10 no.

Wow, thank you! They are all different so I would have trouble picking my favorite. Actually one of my favorites from the trip would not upload even though the file size was fine. The site help people have not figured it out yet either...

Thank you! We were there in the fall a few years ago and the yellow Larch trees were beautiful but I think the early summer is amazing with some wildflowers and small streams still flowing.

The bride and her photographer were moving around this calm cove and taking a variety of photos. I happened to be there when she was standing on the rock so I asked if I could take a quick shot. The color of the water was beautiful also.

Thanks Earnest!

Thanks to everyone, I appreciate all of your wonderful comments and support!!!
