Took these on one of our bi-annual trips to Yellowstone. I rented a 400mm lens

Yeow.. That's a portrait, and that bear looks none too happy!
Great shot Maureen, but I don't think 400mm is long enough for me!
I would want more of a running start

are you wielding the 2.8 or the 5.6?

Beautiful shot Maureen. I think using a 400mm was a very wise move. The second shot is a ripper.

Nice shots, Maureen. Were these in the wild, or over at the West Yellowstone sanctuary?

Have plenty of Canons, enough ammo, enough to blow 'em to "L". Now, I just have to learn to aim.

Pretty sure this one was near Madison Junction. Also shot another cinnamon colored bear near Tower Junction on the same trip (we have been a couple of times in the past 2 years) but I can't remember for sure which one.

Very nice pics, Maureen. You know that you will probably end up purchasing the 400mm lens, so that you can take more pics.

Great shots, Maureen. I especially like #2.

All I want is just a little more than I'll ever have.

I ended up purchasing the 300 f/4 & thinking about asking Santa for the newest canon 2x teleconverter. I needed a beanbag or tripod to manage that 400mm lens & it was a bit too much for me.

That bear has got the evil eye thing happening Maureen! Evil enough that I reckon you were probably too close for comfort! Thise things are massive.

Excellent capture & he's not the type of critter I'd like to be close to. You deserve a bravery award.

He was too busy to care about us being close.
