This chase, among many others like it, was an honor to witness and a tremendous thrill to photograph and share with others. That’s Katmai, the very best bear viewing in the world. Enjoy.
This series of images was taken on Moraine Creek, Katmai National Park and Preserve, Alaska. Canon EOS 7D, Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS II USM with tripod.

WOW, what an amazing series of shots! Just phenomenal captures of this gorgeous animal! Love it, thanks for sharing!
Is that the famous Brooks river? Were you in a safe place, or could it be dangerous in case of a “bear charging” ?
Great shots as usual Richard! That 500mm F/4 L Mark II lens is pretty sharp too and I can see why you rated it so high with your previous blog post..
Awesome sequence, Richard!!!
Do you have to give it back?
What a awesome shot!I just cant imagine how many images do you have during this moment.
NICE! I especially like the last two. The fish definitely has a personality in those.
WOW. What amazing images… Feeling a little sorry for that fish!
Epic series bro!
Great set of shots! I really like how the birds in the background are not even bothered by the bear!
Beautiful captures. Nothing like really fresh sushi! LOL
Excellent work Richard. The very best I’ve seen.
Exquisite work, as usual, Richard.
The last shot in the series tells a story all by itself. “too big to go over”, “too wide to go around”, “too low to go under”, it’s time to negotiate! … Great work
Yowsers Richard!! Loved those photos. You caught the look in the eye of both the predator and the prey. Amazing!
