I just couldn't believe it. I brake, did a U-Turn and took some pictures of that other bear too. lol for the rest of the month driving to Alaska, I just couldn't hope to see another bear in my rearview mirror everytime I cross dense forested areas.[/span]

I worked in the mountains near Terrace for about 0ne year there were so many bears - unfortunately for me i was not in a car 99.9% of the time.

one bear was coming really close to our camp and wouldn't go away... so i picked up some rocks and was throwing the rocks to scare the bear ... but apparently the adrelaine had kicked in and i chucked the rock pretty hard and he was reared up on his hind legs. one of my guys was filming the incident and when the rock hit the bear in the chest you could hear the "thud" on the videotape.

Last time I saw a bear besides the one I see in the mirror every morning was south of Port Hardy and the guy was just chillin eating on some leaves sitting on a hill side next to the road. The guy looked content, and said to myself 'damn I want whatever he's on.' The rabbits have the same kind of attitude too on that island. Joe Camel wannabes sprawled on the sidewalk saying 'what's up' and nodding their head at you. lol

Very cool pic Van Guy. I wish I could do a night pic. I've missed so many gorgeous shots, because I don't know how to make that happen. I end up with nothing but light trails.

Is he angry Michel ?

My Bard Owl is back. I sure wish I could see him. All I get is to listen....and man are they noisy. Mating season should start any time soon, so they will get noisier. They have a regualr call....then they have a multitude of voices when they mate which is unbelievable.

I wish ! I would give anything just to see him, let alone catch a pic !!!!

Love the bear picture, Michel.

I wish I could hear owl sounds. Just about the only sounds we get here are cars, cars, cars and oh, the occasional caw caw of the crows.

Thanks PC.

Night shots take a lot of practice and patience. With my shots- I would say 1 out of 50 is worth looking at ... the other 49 are total crap.

You have to have a tripod and use a shutter release that doesn't involve you pushing the button. (i.e. i use the camera's 2 second delay mode)

You can do lots of nifty things - if you want to emphasize something you can "paint" it with your flashlight. i.e. if there is a tree or a house or

wave your flashlight on it - to add a bit of light - the longer you paint it the brighter it becomes relative to the rest of your image.
