Hey guys, check out some footage I shot with my canon 7d of a severe blizzard that pounded Churchill in November, 2013. The tempetaure was around 5 degrees far, and the winds gusted over 50 mph. The polar bears were difficult to locate that day, as the visibility was reduced to near 0 at times in blowing and drifting snow, but we did find a few large males who seemed to enjoy themselves. They spent half an hour sparring, as they werent as limited by overheating, as they normally in milder weather. I filmed these guys with my 300 prime f4. The end of the video shows us driving back to town in a whiteout on the airport road. It was pretty rough that day!
It was tough to find bears with such reduced visibility, but the ones we did find were great to photograph in such brutal, atmospheric conditions.
