Young bears love to play. They will start wrestling at the drop of a hat. They are always fun to watch and more fun to photograph.

My son Stacy took this photo of me and a nice cinnamon phase black bear that I worked with for several years. This was scanned from a slide.

It was a pretty frosty overcast morning. The overcast was thin enough to allow for a reasonable ISO and fairly good shutter speed. It also acts as a great diffuser eliminating the dark shadows you often get around the eyes. This grizzly was resting on a rise near a small lake in the frosty grass.

THANK YOU, EXPLORE!!!!!!!!!!

I picked up some scans from slides of this bear this morning. This pretty much shows how much the sun bleached its coat.
The next shot will show the beautiful golden/cream color of the coat after he was all shed out.

PS - The bear wasn't upset only listening to a bear in the trees directly behind him. That is why his ears were back. He was never aggressive towards me.

This is a shot my brother took of me back in the 90's, working with a large Cinnamon Phase Black Bear.
Please Note!
This is something that, Most People Should Not Attempt!
I get along with animals way better than I do with people!
Always have!
Animals are very honest in the way they deal with you.
It does require a lot of time and patience.
Also, you can't fear the animal you are working with. Respect it, Yes! But, do not fear it.
Animals will sense your fear and can react adversely to it.
Steve (my brother) recently had a bunch of his old slides digitized and sent me some scans of myself working with various animals.
I am very grateful for him doing that.
We used to do a lot of photography together.
Then not so much.
Recently he has got interested in photography again, at my prodding!
This makes me happy, as he is an excellent photographer, when he puts his mind to it.
