Spin Cycle - Wild Elements

Spin Cycle

A Spirit Bear from my 2019 trip to the Great Bear Rainforest put herself in the “spin cycle” to dry off after pouncing for, and missing a salmon that was swimming past her.

 

I find the key to the shake shots is ensuring that at least one eye of the bear is sharp, and that there is some motion throughout the rest of the head.  I didn’t really have to think much about shutter speed, because given the low light, I was maxed out at 1/400 anyway.
