Those are amazing photos! Hats off to your students for such great work, and to you for teaching them so well. I’ve seen so many bear photos in galleries, didn’t think I’d ever see ones that actually excite me, but those were fantastic.

I'm still mad nobody told me to press the ALT key while toggling editing sliders... That would have rocked my world 10 years ago!

Maybe some people take photos just to create memories. And thus they don’t make them about rewords. <br>In this sense nothing was lost in those 10 years.

Excellent! Any suggestions for the majority of amateur wildlife photographers who shoot exclusively local with affordable F8 lenses?

Excellent topic. I think most of us go through a natural progression. Something like this... 1. hey I got a shot of a bear. 2. I got a shot of a bear and it's technically sharp and properly exposed. 3. I got a shot of a bear doing something interesting. and 4. this is what the video here is about ..... I got a unique shot of a bear, I saw it in a way that others did not. I'm not sure you can skip any of those steps, but perhaps can get to #4 faster than 10 years. I'm thinking thats the point of this video.
