So here I was, on my way up to British Columbia, Canada to photograph some grizzly bears during their most photogenic time - when they're on a salmon-feeding frenzy. I had with me the new Sony 70-400 G II lens (an amazing lens that's just perfect for wildlife) and my A99 and I was looking forward to taking pictures that were so sharp that I'd be able to blow them up to wall-sized enlargements, and then people would stand 2 inches away and exclaim, "Wow! I can count every hair in their fur!" (My equipment is capable of that.)
That's what I was hoping for, anyway. Instead I ended up having to deal with RRBL (Really, REALLY Bad Light). Without good light, even the best equipment might mean mediocre results. Could I manage to bring home sellable shots in such poor conditions?
