22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Still Focus

Katmai National Park is a major place in the world to see coastal Brown Bears catching salmons that are swimming upstreams for spawning. Millions of photos of bear catching fishes have been produced. But I would like to picture this phenomenon in a different angle. Would like to show those bear's dedication, patient and endurance. I experiment with the long exposure and show how the bear is focusing on its task.
