My name is George Shearer and I took this image of a bear in Alaska a few years ago on a tour there. I used a Nikon D100 camera with a Nikkor lens.. I used the settings of F/6 @ 759 sec., ISO of 200 and aperture priority. The bear was climbing on a sod roof on one of the buildings at a game preserve to be honest, but I still like the effect of the image.
