As usual I went out in search of Bears tonight but none were around. The males Bears have started to make an appearance so this has made the mum and cubs a little scarcer for the time being. Because the males are looking to mate, they will attack or chase off the cubs thus putting the mums on edge. I have a photo of the first male I encountered this year (last Friday night) but it was taken at 9pm so I'll wait until I get a better quality image before sharing. He is a decent size and I have seen him twice.
Back to the Beavers. A local had told me the beavers were out again so I decided to go see for myself and to my luck one was chomping away on the river bank. Because it was late I had to really push the ISO so I could get a useable shutter speed for making a sharp image. If you read the Image Tech information below you will how the ISO change affected the shutter speed. The light was not on my side this evening but I mounted my gear on a tripod and this was crucial for getting the Beaver sharp.
I love this first shot of the Beaver stretching out of the water in oder to reach some tasty vegetation.
