Minnesota Black Bear | Show Me Nature Photography

Today’s post features a previously unpublished image I captured a few years ago in the north woods of Minnesota:

In 2013, on a photo trip to Minnesota, Karen (my late wife) and I visited her sister’s cabin in the northern woods of Minnesota. Using several tree stands (used for deer hunting) over several days, I was able to photograph several black bears. The above image was not previously published, so I thought I’d share it today.

Photographic Equipment Used:

• Canon 7D camera body
• Canon 100-400mm, f/4.5-f/5.6 IS lens
• Handheld, with IS “On”
• ISO 800
• Aperture f/5
• Shutter 1/640 sec.
