Description

This polar bear came right up to my window and was staring right at me as if asking to have his picture taken. The tundra buggies windows all drop down so that at no time did we have to shoot through glass but it was 29 degrees below zero and the tundra buggy would get very cold very quickly so you had to maximize your shooting efforts quickly. I was shooting with cloudy WB and +1ev

Exif: F Number: 8, Exposure Bias Value: 1.00, ExposureTime: 1/320 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 1000, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 105.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D

These guys are not known for being on the gentle side. This is a Nat Geo moment that had your heart beating and I am so glad you were able to keep your cool and get this amazing look right in face.
