Description

This was captured on our last day on the tundra 11/25/2006 during a blizzard that cut our time out short. Shot at ISO 400, 1/250 sec, f/7.1 and +1 ev. It has been a while since I posted Polar Bear captures so I thought I would upload a few. You can see the snow falling in front of his nose and the red in his eyes.

Exif: F Number: 7.1, Exposure Bias Value: 1.00, ExposureTime: 1/250 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 140.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 20D

I have to wonder how a Southwestern TX guy managed to handle a blizzard much less get all the great polar bear shots he did! What fortitude...and skill! :)
