2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

European Brown Bear, Eastern Finland border with Russia, Finland
Does my backside look big in this?

Species: European Brown Bear | Location: Eastern Finland border with Russia, Finland

I spent 3 nights in a small photography blind watching the European Brown Bear. In Finland, but you could see the Russian border from the blind. The only activity was the frequent visitors looking for food, males and females with cubs digging in the snow.

About The Photographer

Purely an amateur photographer, I enjoy wildlife specifically. I use a Canon 7D mk ii and the Canon 100-400 L series lens. Sometimes I'll hire a Canon 300mm or 400mm prime for a particular trip.
