Brown Bears on Brooks falls, waiting for Salmon swimming upstream.  As I said before, we spent the first day trip to this area seeing and photographing bears on Brooks Falls.  The second day trip was spent at the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes.  This photograph begins the shoot from day 3.  After my shoot on day 1 and during my shoot on day 2, I knew that my third day would be spent at Brooks falls.  I did some brainstorming on how I could shoot.  I came in on day 3, with a preconceived idea to make a slow shutter speed shot to smoothen the falls.  Here’s my first such image.  Nikon D4S loaded with the Nikkor 200-500mm f5.6 lens.  Shutterspeed of 1/6 s, slow enough to smoothen the falls, but fast enough to ensure that the bears are not fully blurred out.
