Cades Cove 5/4/24. Saw a total of 8 Bears. 4 in the Cove Loop, 4 on Rich Mountain Rd. The one on Rich Mountain Rd has 3 babies, but did not get good pics :(
That's an incredible pic, especially since you can't really "set up" for something as spontaneous as that.
I suppose that what "Burst" mode is for. Or possibly, he has one hell of a video camera and took a frame from the video, but that would be one hell of a video camera.
A few pics from Cades Cove today (and just outside Cades Cove)...
The last one was a long way off. A momma bear and three cubs, but one is hidden behind the momma.
Rich Mountain Road is now open, but we didn't see squat on that road.
A couple of pics from Fort Mountain State Park today.
We saw our first Bear of the year in the State Park. It's been a while - since late July of last summer.
Julie spotted a couple of holes in a hillside, thinking they may be dens dug out by the resident bears. I can see that. It...
No, but that looks very familiar for some reason. Come to think of it, that location might have been a pic posted here on ODT a few years ago. Maybe somewhere on the far upper Etowah River?

There was a ton of new tress down around the Cove due to high wind earlier this week.
I think Black Rock mountain is the highest elevation in any of Georgia's State Parks. We visited there a couple of years ago and it was nice.
I have not been to Brasstown Bald in years. I need to take a trip and get some pics (on a clear day). :)
A few random pics taken today...
The most amazing thing is this picture taken in Paulding WMA. Proof positive that bottles can actually grow on trees (unlike money). :)
A meh shot of a Redtail Hawk flying around:
And the best pic, Violet the Wonder dog. She alerts me if there is a...
Jimmy can answer far better than I, but I can tell you from the little I've learned that for my "entry level" mirrorless, there's a ton of lens "form factors" out there when it comes to lenses, especially when you consider camera vs. lenses over a long period of time.
There are some new and...
That is good quality on your phone camera, no doubt!
JimmyJet's, too.
I have a "beginners" grade mirrorless and have done some amount of experimentation with priority modes. A slower shutter on waterfalls makes for a cool effect.
I showed one of them to my Dad back last Thanksgiving, and he...
