Kamchatka brown bear shaking – This is another image that I found yesterday though it is reasonably hefty crop. I think perhaps one of the most frustrating aspects of photography for me personally is being unable to be set-up for different types of images that any situation might offer. To do so I’d realistically need two cameras on two different lenses and on two separate tripods which in the vast majority of cases just isn’t practical. I say that because looking at this image now I’d love to have shot it at a slower shutter speed, introducing more movement into both the bears fur and the water droplets streaming off it. In doing so my hit rate of success would have been much lower but I think that the resulting images might have been a lot stronger and more interesting. Of course moments like this just happen without any real prior warning and so I’d only have two realistic options. The first would be to set up specifically for the slow motion images so have my aperture closed right down, my ISO set at or near to its lowest setting and then constantly wait for an opportunity to arrive. Of course these opportunities can be rare and so whilst waiting I’d be forced to watch lots of other behaviours, not suited to slow shutter speeds, happen right in front of me whilst I wait forlornly for something that may or may not happen. The second option of course would involve 2 identical sets of kit right next to each other, one set up for fast action, another set up for slow shutter speed images but this isn’t realistic unless I have the might of @ナショナルジオグラフィック behind me and the associated number of people to help me carry my equipment. As such I’m left in that in between stage where, like everybody else, I have to simply commit to a particular image and be prepared to miss others. So whilst I do like this image it has got me thinking about what I can do to become more flexible.
