I am actually lucky to have been able to take these pictures. The night before, in Sequoia National Park, I left some food in my backpack on the table. I also had my T2i sitting unprotected in my padless backpack. So I go to sleep not thinking about any of that of course, and when I wake up, what do you know? A bear is ripping through my backpack eating all my food! Well I was quite fine with that (even though it's a $100 pack) until I realize, my brand new camera was sitting in that bag! Well I tried screaming at it from my sleeping bag, to no avail. Eventually it left and I was already dreading seeing my camera in pieces, until I actually opened my pack to my t2i sitting there unscratched and unharmed. It works perfectly, and I couldn't have been more relieved. I now say that this camera is "bear proof" because it really is!
There's my story to go with those pictures!
