Forest Retreat
by Laura Dyer
On a trip to Finland to photograph bears using semi permanent photographic hides, I wanted to capture a shot that showed the bears forest environment. They are secretive animals, as they are still hunted, and the forest is on the Russian Border. This bear came out late one night, just before the sunset, and paused for a few moments before carrying on foraging.
Equipment: Canon 7D, 70-200 lens

I picked up my first DSLR a few year ago as a way of appreciating the natural beauty I saw around me on my travels, and I have never looked back! I am a Masters student in Tax Law, but my passion is nature conservation and photography, so I spend all my free time traveling as much as possible.

Great capture. Bears are not easy to find in the wild. They may be large, but quite stealthy!
