Ready for bears
A boat load of photographers floats on the river and points their telephoto lenses towards a sedge grass meadow on the shoreline, ready for a grizzly bear or two to come by, Chilko River, British Columbia.
Regina, we're out for up to 12 hours at a stretch or even longer depending on the wildlife, with a short lunch break in between.
Janet: often the people with the big glass are men, but were were 3 women in our boat, and on my recent trip to Alaska were were 5 women and only 1 man.

on May 1, 2022Outstanding shot Terry and a beautiful reflection! I was curious how you were getting in position for these fantastic bear shots. This must take a lot of patience but the results are well worth it.

on April 30, 2022Terrific shot of the photographers with their big lenses! Wonderful reflections! Interesting composition gender-wise on your trip to Alaska. I wonder if it will turn into a trend.

on April 30, 2022Excellent capture of these photographers with their big lenses. Looks like the on in the left is at a disadvantage trying to get a clear view past the others. It must take enormous patience. How long to those photographing usually stay out on a shoot?

on April 30, 2022Great catch of the photogs at the ready Terry... I've noticed from this one and your previous images of the photographers that there is a predominance of men, I'm happy you were there to represent all the excellent female wildlife photographers....!! Were you the only one?
