There is no bad time to go to Alaska, it's amazing both winter and summer. Biggest downside to summer is the epic hordes of mosquitoes.. but the weather and scenery make up for it. Oh, and expensive hotels that are stinky pieces of poo poo.

HeyEng posted:Lightroom tells me it was shot at 70mm. The time I ran up on a mama brown bear and her two cubs was frightening. They were about 30 yards away. That was close enough for me. Two close really, as mama would catch up to you and rip your head off before you finished turning around to run for the car.

That water is hypnotic.. it almost looks computer generated. Is it from a polarizer?

Drewski posted:Also, autofocus speed is fairly significantly reduced. Also, with the 2x, only the center AF point is useable. B&H has decent compatibility charts for the various extenders, poke around at them before picking one to rent (the 1.4x's are much more forgiving).

The latest episode of Frozen Planet was a "behind the scenes" look at wildlife photography too, if anyone is interested in a little bit of detail on how those guys got their shots. Granted most of their work was video, but it's still photography. Those guys are truly insane. I grew up in Alaska so I generally know how do deal with freezing weather, but they took it to another level doing poo poo that I was told would kill me if I ever tried. On the other hand, they got some spectacular footage out of it. I'd sell organs for a chance to visit Antartica.

InternetJunky posted:No adjustments. I thought for an animal that uses tree bark for dental floss they would have much whiter teeth. They wouldn't care anyways, because their teeth never stop growing.. they chisel them down on trees, which wears them down and keeps the teeth sharp. The orange is actually their healthy color, it's some specialized enamel.

That first photo is quite epic. Bear is all "those settings are totally wrong for this light, let me fix them for you." Though on a serious note, leaving the camera behind probably saved the photographer's life. It's really hard to survive a bear encounter once they decide to approach you. Running only makes them more interested in chasing.. and it's a race they'll win.

Man that guy is camouflage as gently caress. My favorite shot though is the one with the hippos in the water. The choice of focus really works well. Though the bokeys on the far shore is a bit distracting.

Yep, the lighting is pretty baller. I like the way it outlines the shadowed area on the bird. Only distraction is the really bright out of focus branch in the upper right. I'd try burning it or cloning it out.

Moose are only cute the first few times. Eventually you'll regard them as pests that will kick your rear end if you mess around with them.

What the heck do you have going on that wild bears willingly approach? Everything I've ever been told about bears says that unless they've grown used to humans (read: getting food from them) they actively avoid us. In my experience this seems to hold true. Or are polar bears more curious than other variants? I've really only been in proximity to brown or black bears.

Is there a safety reason for pitching tents so far apart? Or is it just for privacy? Or do you just pick the first flat patch of ground you can find?

Wolves I'm cool with but gently caress bears. Most of the places I have any chance of ever encountering a bear has a strict no firearms policy, which means that's the end of my genetic line. At least with a wolf I have a tiny chance of coming out on top. At least until his buddies show up to finish me off.

Those idiots are way too loving close to those bison. Yellowstone is a place I'd like to love, but the people ruin everything about it. This year was particularly bad, they set records for visitors this year.

Bears are a fun hot button topic around Yellowstone, the park has enough of them now that they're starting to spill out of the park and creating problems for regional towns.. Red Lodge had a grizzly on main street a few weeks ago. I mean, repopulation is good, but once the critters start leaving federally protected land and causing problems people are gonna be shooting the things.

A Saucy Bratwurst posted:How can you be retarded enough to go near any wild animal let alone a massive hunk of angry muscle and horn? We don't have anything like that in Australia unless you count big buff male kangaroos but it seems like most people here know not to have anything to do with them unless they come to you. Someone else said it, but it's mostly a false sense of security from having numbers. When you get away from the national parks people are a lot more sensible about being in the vicinity of wildlife. But when 20 tourists are constantly inching closer to get a better picture, they're going to conclude there's no harm in taking another step. As for cows, they're bred to be stupid. Bison will start stomping poo poo for no apparent reason and is why they aren't used as livestock as much even though they're native to the US.

I would crop it down a bit, at least trim off those leaves on the left. And I don't know if the darkness is the original is underexposed or you did it in post but it's way over the top. It's in sunlight, it should look like sun.
