Black Bear

I've been up at the cabin at Lake Tahoe, CA, for a few days last week, and late one afternoon we had a visitor, I shot this from the front deck of the cabin

If I get a bear with a 105mm, I want you to barely be able make him out in the frame. Seriously cool shot!

Did you offer him/her any honey ??? Cool shot !!

Thanks everyone, yeah, I was a little close, less than 20 feet away, there were four of us on the deck shooting, so if he charged I had a 25% chance

Looks like a big one!

Very nice.

What a fortuitous chance! Wow! I'd love to be able to photograph bears in the wild with a very, very long lens! Good job!
