From the look of the “passenger” I take it you are not in the UK. Great shots. Impressed that this was with only a 300 mm lens. No data with the images. What sort of distance would you have been from the birds? In a hide?

This was in a small wildlife marsh in downtown Kelowna BC. Max dist would be 125ft. Of courses varies when they are flying. The nest tree is across a small pond from a boardwalk with 2 viewing areas. There were two birds with young in the nest but short of brief views of a head couldn't tell how many.

Some more of what I take and I will stop.

lovely images. I hope you were a bit more than 125 foot from the bear!

No about 80 ft but he was upslope and I wasn't threatening. As a rule they don't bother with you if you don't pose a threat to them. Leaving tomorrow to shot some pics in Waterton National Park in Alberta. Hope to get mom and cubs this time. Maybe a grizzly but not likely.

I somehow believe I'm not the only one who'd like if you don't stop

Just one of 800 or so images
I took this last 3 days. Was trying out a 2x converter which I definitely dislike. Made too many of my images fuzzy.

It’s the bear that’s fuzzy, fuzzy bear! Great shot though. haven’t seen too many of these around in Cornwall. luckily.

No converter.
RE: This is my passion -
Dean - Sep 18, 2013
yes, much sharper. What was the lens and converter? Still the 300mm?
RE: This is my passion -
EdMak - Sep 18, 2013
Close enough to shake paws with, great. Are you doing any post processing. Ed.
RE: This is my passion -
Formerbob - Sep 18, 2013
Ed not as a rule. With the converter ones I tried to sharpen them. I used the converter with a 100 - 400 zoom I was using. I am not to good with photoshop. Lots to learn.

A young cub eating. We saw lots of bears this trip. The other one is a lone male. Just had a ripping good 3 days. Shot over 700 pics.
RE: This is my passion -

Love the picture of the cub. Great depth of field and composition. Could, possibly, sharpen a bit, just the bear.
