Photo Of The Day By Alex Speijer
Photo By Alex Speijer
Today’s Photo Of The Day is “Family Portrait” by Alex Speijer. Location: Banff National Park, Alberta.
“I saw a couple of cars stopped on the side of the road,” explains Speijer. “I decided to park a little up ahead on the road, hoping the bears (there was a second cub, too) would walk towards me. Well, they did! This was just after sunrise in the shadows, so I had a hard time completely eliminating motion blur.”
Canon 6D, EF 100-400 IS II. Exposure: 1/500 sec., f/5.6, ISO 3200.
