This picture of grazing bear was taken last year at Hurricane Ridge, during Bruce Barnbaum Olympic Peninsula workshop.

Hey Sasha!

It’s great to see you back, you have been missed.

What a really cool shot of the bear. And I like that he is eating grass as opposed to someone...

 

[Jeffrey]

Nice imaging, Sasha. He and I have the same diet!

 

[Bob Denton]

This is very nice!

 

[Ben Egbert]

Yep bears are omnivores and eat anything. Very nice pose you got here and great image.

Nice shot of the consumption event - the bear looked up for almost the perfect pose.

 

[Jim Dockery]

Nice shot. How was the workshop?

Thank you very much for the replies and warm welcome!

Nice shot. How was the workshop?

Thank you, Jim.
The workshop was great, but since it was my very first long workshop, I have no comparison. There were about 20 participants, most of them seasoned photographers, and three instructors: Bruce himself, Bill Ellzey, and Jack Dykinga, holding very informative critique sessions. Field sessions were also great but it was up to the participants to make the most of them. I was keeping close to Jack since he is my superhero. This bear was photographed in low light in a dusk, but both Jack and I got good pictures.

Nice image, Sasha. Is Bruce still doing great B&W work?

Yes, he used his view camera during the workshop - but we yet to see the results
