Liking these a lot; are the bears used to humans? They would feel no threat across a stream, I imagine.I called this bear Krasotka ("Pretty woman" in Russian) - she liked the name and agreed to a private photo-session

I lived with them for 40 days. I started with Nikkor 600mm lens in the first day and ended with 45mm Phase One in the last. This a a national park, so hunting is prohibited and these bears (most of them) did not see any threat from a human in their life. Females realized quickly that I posed no threat, and in the end of my expedition they would even leave their cubs with me (literally 1 meter away) and would go fishing. This is the greatest form of trust a female can demonstrate. They do see people from time to time so it is no shock to them, but it takes time for them to get accustomed to you and start feeling at ease.Liking these a lot; are the bears used to humans?

A rare privilege in these times: child minding of a wild species!I lived with them for 40 days. I started with Nikkor 600mm lens in the first day and ended with 45mm Phase One in the last.

After the private session, maybe you will take her out for a cup of tea:thumbs:

A thought:
This would give more separation through diffusion, as is already happening with the middle-distance island copse against the far distant background.
