Grizzly Bear: Tom Miner Basin, Gardiner MT, September 2024 — This is another shot of the Grizzly with two cubs digging Caraway roots in a meadow. It was well after sunset so the light was not optimal, and the bears were over 670 yards away…as measured with a rangefinder…that is almost 4/10s of a mile…so I am happy to have gotten any shot at all with the Sony a6700 and the Tamron 50-400 Di iii VC zoom at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my bird and wildlife modifications. Processed in Photomator. A heavy crop from an image at ISO 2000. This is a close as we got to a Grizzly, as apparently the warm fall weather has kept them mostly up in the higher meadows.
