Fantastic images! Those mother and baby photos are some of the best bear images I have ever seen. Somehow they do look different from brown bear in the US
Wow!!! You're a gifted photographer and that was a pleasure to watch. Well done. You should be so proud of yourself. Great shots, videos and channel. A new subscriber here. Thank you for sharing. All the best. Steve 👍🏻
This was a superb video Andrew. Superb images which were achieved through perseverance. I bet you’re glad you pushed yourself on even when feeling unwell. I’m just glad I found your channel recently because this was one of the best things I’ve seen on TH-cam. Thanks for your hard work!
Being sick while in the hide was an unexpected adventure, glad you're better. That momma bear looked huge especially standing on her hind legs. Thank you for the educational and beautiful vlog. Slovenia is very green 🌱 Your Instagram posts are amazing!
I recently moved to Slovenia from Amsterdam and am totally happy with this decision to be close to mother Nature! Love your content. A new subscriber here. It touches my heart so much to see the beauty of nature and wildlife animals
Wow this footage is incredible, it was so amazing it almost looked fake! Super impressive! Well done you for sticking at it even though you weren’t feeling well! Worth it! 🙌
Hi Andrew. Only recently I started following your photography adventures with great pleasure. Today I saw your adventure with the brown bear. Wow, what a wonderful moment you have captured beautifully. In the photos you have captured the emotion of and between mama bear and cub very aptly. And that on the last morning of your visit ....... a more wonderful conclusion a person could not wish for. Good luck with your beautiful and informative film work, I'll keep following you! With a warm greeting from Holland.
Nice ! I personally met them when I was camping in the wild in Slovenia... I always sleep in hammocks. Meeting them at night is quite scary the bear was walking just next to the hammock and sniffing everything my heart was beating like a trans music. But here in the video they look just adorable and cuddly 😊
This made me cry........isn't nature and it's animals a blessing?! Thank you sooooo much.
Thank you so much for watching and enjoying ! 😃

Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😃
Andrew, I Love to see vlogs like this. I’m inspired to take this adventure sometime soon. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Drew. That’s great to hear and thanks for taking the time to comment
Great work and amazing images !👍
Thank you very much!
Incredible, very beautiful photos. I wanted to ask, when did you go? Thanks man
Hi there and thanks for watching. I do believe this was around June/July. I’d need to check
Nice ! I personally met them when I was camping in the wild in Slovenia... I always sleep in hammocks. Meeting them at night is quite scary the bear was walking just next to the hammock and sniffing everything my heart was beating like a trans music. But here in the video they look just adorable and cuddly 😊
Haha that must have been quite an experience!!! I’ve had similar with lions!!!
Thanks for watching and stay safe!
Fantastic! Hoping to do this soon myself. When were you guy there? Also did you do bear hides in the morning and afternoon?
Hi there. I think it was around May/June. We did both morning and evening sessions in the hides
Nice!
Much appreciated. Thanks for watching
👍
✌️🇸🇮
Great pictures! Can I ask what focal lengths you used?
Hi there. Thank you. I was shooting with my 200-600 Sony lens. Others who were shooting prime had 400mm
@@AndrewMacdonaldPhotography I'll be there in three weeks, do you think my 500mm f4 on full frame might be a bit long?
13 seconds in all I can think of is "here we go"...
Hahah you love it
@@AndrewMacdonaldPhotography yes, yes I do...
Was that Sharon in the car?
No she was back in Italy at the time
Is it possible to get the contactperson who organize the safari
I went with Michele Bravassano but was booked through Slovenia bears
