I had a great time photographing this Grizzly Bear last night in Glacier National Park, and it made up for the poor photographic opportunities earlier in the day. After the sun set behind the mountains and there hadn't been any bears around for a while, most of the people left. I kept cruising the area where the bears have been most active, and I came across this new guy really close to the road. In the image above, he had stopped eating berries to look at something across the road so I could capture this sharp image at a slow shutter speed.
