This cute little cub seemed to really enjoy playing with a empty clam shell!
Here are more bear photos.

That’s awesome, what a great little cub. We didn’t see a single cub while in Katmai, glad to see someone saw a cub.
Thanks Dave!
You sure got close to some bears there in Katmai – I had wondered if you saw cubs – I guess that answers my question.
Ron
Wow. Simply wow. The lighting looks like it was done in a studio it’s so perfect.
The presence of mom with the action and innocence of the cub is stellar.
I’d love to see more from this series just to get a glimpse of what you were working with.
Wow.
Great shot Ron, he’s adorable!
I wonder, what precautions do you take when going out bear shooting? I can imagine it’s risky at times…
Such great expressiveness in this image Ron. I have always felt that the picture says as much about the photographer as the subject, this image tells of a great sensitivity to the emotions of wildlife.
Whoa. Really good at capturing the xpressions Ron.
I enjoyed this photo a lot. Thanks.
Thanks everyone!
I agree Cody – I think the heavy cloud cover made for some really nice soft light – that worked out well.
Kris, around Seward I have been carrying bear spay and using a remote – I’m pretty cautious. For these photos, I was actually accompanied by a guide who has been working around these animals for a couple of years. She seemed to know the individuals pretty well and got us close. I was also using a 600 with a 2x converter.
Thanks,
Ron
