Black Bear, Mendenhall Glacier, Alaska - Image 2579 A mother black bear with her cubs stroll through the forest at Mendenhall Glacier. I started shooting digital last year. My black bear book is my first all digital project. Most of my shooting career I have been using slide film…Fuji Velvia with an ASA of 50. In my opinion slide film looks miserable at anything above ASA 100, but digital looks pretty good at higher ASA’s or ISO’s. Moving bears in the dark forest would almost be impossible to shoot at ASA 50 or 100. But with an ISO of 800, this image becomes possible. This image illustrates page 23 in my newest book just released in early June, “Black Bears of Alaska’s Mendenhall Glacier”. Nikon D200, Lens: 20-35mm F/2.8 Nikkor, Digital Mark Kelley
