Shutterbug Photo of the Day: “Josh the Bear” by Lorenzo Cassina

The Editors  |  Feb 13, 2015

Today’s Shutterbug Photo of the Day is this wonderful close-up of a bear by Lorenzo Cassina. Lorenzo captured the shot with a Nikon D80 and Sigma 70-300mm lens at f/4.2, 1/80 sec, ISO 640.

“Josh is a 14 year old, 600 lb Black Bear rescued as a cub and cannot live in the wild,” Cassina writes about this image. Cassina volunteers at Flamingo Gardens in Florida, which raised funds to build a large, 8000-square-foot habitat with its own pool and cave for Josh the Bear.

See a larger version of the photo in the Shutterbug Photo of the Day gallery here.

You can see more of Cassina’s photos on his 500px page.

If you want to enter Shutterbug Photo of the Day, post an image in the Shutterbug Photo of the Day Gallery and include your real name and some background on the image (how and where it was shot; the story behind the image; gear and settings used etc.) in the description field to qualify.

We will select one Shutterbug Photo of the Day image every month to run as a full-page feature in the magazine.
