Close Black Bear

[Incomel]

I was in Lake Clark National Park, Alaska doing interviews and we stayed at an island lodge located at the upper end of the lake. This was one bear that I took several pictures of with my 28-135mm lens. This bear was not threatened by humans being close to it at all (potentially dangerous). The first pic I was about 75 yards away. The second was a much closer 75ft. The last was taken from the porch of the lodge with the bear about 15ft away. An awesome experience!

I like three also, especially the folding chair on it's side, it is almost as if someone has just jumped out of it. i know the expression i would use would be moderated on here.

Good shots mate
