Northwest Wanderer Posted February 10, 2014 Share #1 Posted February 10, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Female grizzly at Teton National Park, Wyoming. Image taken June 2013 with V-Lux 4. I sat in my truck with the motor running. I was amazed to get good detail for a hand held 600 mm image. Welcome, dear visitor!

pauledell Posted February 10, 2014 Share #2 Posted February 10, 2014 Bill, An incredible shot for sharpness for handheld with 600mm and fine tones. Does your camera have the anti-vibration feature? Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northwest Wanderer Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted February 10, 2014 Bill, An incredible shot for sharpness for handheld with 600mm and fine tones. Does your camera have the anti-vibration feature? Paul Thank you Paul. Yes the V-Lux 4 has an image stabilization function. There is on way I could have pulled this shot off without it. Between the vehicle vibration and my hands being less than steady from the excitement, I'm surprised I have a decent image at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northwest Wanderer Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share #7 Posted February 11, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Stuart, Dee & Jeff, thank you. Dee, glad you like the toning. The image didn't look as good in color. Sepia seems to work well with the subject. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografr Posted February 11, 2014 Share #8 Posted February 11, 2014 Outstanding shot, and a good thing you were in the truck. I once had a close encounter with a grizzly when hiking at a high altitude in Yellowstone. Not fun! The toning on your image is beautiful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northwest Wanderer Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share #9 Posted February 11, 2014 Thank you Brent. From your comment it's clear you know what it's like to see these great bears in the wild. It's a thrill that can't be expressed in words. I would never put myself in a situation where I'd be in danger or cause the bear problems. I've seen many bears over the years. The first Grizzly I ever saw was while hiking in Glacier National Park. I encountered a female with cubs while fly fishing a high mountain lake I'd hiked into. Like you it was an experience that you don't want to have again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
