Vastness of the Tundra [Contest Pre Finalists November 2014]
Uploaded: November 12, 2014 12:12:12 | Entered: November 12, 2014 12:15:13
In this capture I wanted to show the vastness, starkness and texture of the frozen tundra so I decided to shot in the vertical presentation used the bear as foreground interest and the early morning sky in the background. The bear was hungry and hunting seaweed as he had yet to get to where the seals were at the edge of the ice.
Exif: f/9, 1/400 second, ISO: 200, 80mm
