I have meant to share my last Polar Bear safari in Canada in its entirity for a while. So, I am happy to present a short video featuring this amazing wildlife photography tour. Besides still image creations, you will see a couple of videos from the tour. One of them features two male Polar Bears gently tussling in the Summer landscape. Enjoy!
This Polar Bear photography tour was a fantastic experience that I would love to renew in the future.

ISO 400 | f/4.0 | 1/1600 sec. | Manual mode | AI servo rear focusing
This photograph was created with the Canon 600mm f/4 L IS II USM lens (Canon 600mm f/4 L IS II USM review), the Canon EOS 5D mark III on a gimbal head over tripod.
This bear looks like he is sniffing the light! Bears have a really good smell and often point their nose upward to detect interesting smells. Note that to make such a creation, onw wants to underexpose by at least two stops. The result can be quite dramatic. It is often your best option with a back-lit subject.
