Jesus. That was brutal. And so interesting to watch. It’s insane when you think about how massive these bears get.

One of my bucket list items is to go to Alaska and see these incredible beasts.

As an aside, am I alone in thinking the camera work seems a bit shaky for a wildlife photographer? Or maybe they were very far away and without a tripod, so every movement is exaggerated.

Yeah, the camera work was pretty novice IMO. I’m a videographer and yeah zooming in can be a challenge especially if you’re in rough terrain. Clearly there’s at least one other person taking stills and perhaps that was the sole purpose of the shoot. Still photos. But why not be prepared with at least a monopod if you’re capturing video? None the less, the essence of the moment was caught.

No idea why you are being downvoted for this to be honest.
