You don't often see three polar bears together unless it's a mother with cubs. In this case, the cubs were sub-adult but still clinging to mom. The bears hang around Churchill, Canada, waiting for the pack ice to form on Hudson Bay so they can go out on the salt water ice to hunt seals. I took this shot with my 500mm f/4 Canon telephoto, and the settings were 1/1250, f/9, and 800 ISO. I took this shot a few years ago, and I've since switched from using the super telephoto lens to a 100-500mm Canon zoom because it's lighter and the zoom range offers a lot more flexibility in composition.
