Photographing bears in the wild
ALL potentially dangerous. Extremely.
True is that a surprised bear is something to avoid when in the
woods but that applies to all wildlife… specially skunks though
your camera will not record the smell!
Being silent is goodif the bear ignores your presence but…
When on the hunt (for images I hope!) a long lens and moving
upwind (be always aware of what's going on behind your back)
even in the open will be a plus.
Bears are top predators AND THEY KNOW IT! They are more on
the carnivorous side of their diet anywhere in early Spring and,
in the north and by rivers, in Fall.
I would suggest you study their behaviour seriously, there are so
many contradictions reported and many bad ending encounters.
Light is free… capturing it is not!
