I finally had a great day of bear photography yesterday in Yellowstone National Park with great bears in the morning and afternoon. These two second-year Black Bear (Ursus americanus) cubs were wrestling early in the morning. Due to my strong dislike of noise, I kept the ISO at my maximum 800 and suffered with the slow 1/90 sec shutter speed, and I was only able to get a couple of shots without motion blur when I captured them in the split second where they weren't moving much. Next time, I think I'll go with more noise and more keepers.
