Description

Taken on our last day during the blizzard. These two male polar bears were sparring (it is call the Polar Bear dance as they will not hurt each other in the winter but are practicing for the spring when they will be fighting for the females and will kill each other). You could hardly see them the snow was so thick. Shot at 240mm @ ISO 800, F/10, 1/800sec and +1ev.

Exif: F Number: 10, Exposure Bias Value: 1.00, ExposureTime: 1/800 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 800, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 240.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 20D
