While we were on a small boat in the Alaskan Arctic, we saw a lone polar bear far far away. We couldn't get any closer as the sea ice had all frozen. The light angle to most of us on the boat was not "ideal" as the light source was not behind us. So most of us didn't even put up their camera but just observing. I instantly saw a rare opportunity. The sea ice reflected gold. With the dark profile of the polar bear, I envision that once the polar bear breathed out, the warm air would turn golden, and the dark profile of the polar bear could let the color shows. Too far away? Not when I had the 2X teleconverter! I immediately put on the converter and waited for the moment. 600mm and 2x converter is extremely heavy and hard to balance. My arms felt numb when finally the polar bear faced our direction and breathed out. Not only did the air breathing out turned gold, but also the wet fur.
