can save you if you're frightened while shooting

These shots taken at Castle Mountain Chalets, in Banff Alberta Canada. K20D, DA*300.

I took about 30 shots of this Grizzly Bear, but only a few came out reasonably sharp - camera shake in many. Unfortunately, my concern over my safety over-rode my ability to keep the camera steady. A couple of times I had put myself in a bad position, where if the bear had charged, I would have had trouble getting away (not that I could have outrun him anyways!).

That Croc from user440, is moving awfully fast for my taste too. Wouldn't want that sneaking up on me either
