A Brown Bear Eating Berries

Hi Everyone,

Here are a few shots I snapped the other day of a brown bear eating berries. This was shot on my A7RII with the Sony 70 - 200 f4. Would love to hear what you think or if you have any advice!

Nice but 200mm is not long enough for me.

Nice set were you on foot if so you are crazy getting that close with a 200!!

That grin in the second one is hilarious. Man, that beast could do some serious damage. No thanks, 600mm with tc in an armored vehicle for me.

Yeah he was on the side of the road and I got out of my truck. All in all I was about 15 feet away from him. The shot where he was on all fours he was walking towards me. As traffic rolled by he turned around and went the other way. Had I been in the woods by myself I in his territory I doubt I'd be as bold.

I don't know about that. I would have used my 60mm macro and get some detailed pics of his nose hairs.

yes seeing as how i would not get within 60 yards of it if i am out of our car or truck with out bear spray and even then its asking to be charged as all it takes is for it to have cubs in a near by tree to turn it from already a dangerous situation to a really dangerous situation as bears are known to protect there cubs with there own life

That second shot is awesome.

Reminds me of a 50-60's cartoon print add. His face looks to be smiling as his hand is displaying product.
