Kodiak Brown Bear captured by Z 9 / Z600f4TC
Alaska is a glorious place to explore with a camera, there are stories at every step! One of the aspects of shooting there that has to be mastered is, shooting in the rain. Life doesn’t stop for an act of nature that happens all the time. This Kodiak Brown Bear we named Goldie, she had one COY (Cub of the Year), which was on the smaller side of life. She took great care of that cub, which included providing food as well as teaching it the story of life.
Bringing back their story required working in the downpours. It’s actually pretty darn easy when you’re prepared for it. Working in flyfishing boots and waders, extra long Carhart rainshell and with dry white towel, one. can click and click away. I know that if I can take the rain, the camera can. Simply blotting the gear dry every so often with the white towel, shooting can continue on without missing a click. If you want the photo, ya gotta adapt becuase, life goes on.
