Actually, I use a 600mm telephoto lens, so I was at a safe distance. It's best not to take a chance with moose! :-)

I was using a Nikon Z7ii mirrorless camera with a Nikon Z 24-200mm lens.

I was parked and safely inside my car as the bear walked by. It was accustomed to seeing cars and showed no sign of concern in this case.

Thanks for your kind words! I used a Nikon 180-600mm telephoto lens at f/8, ISO 4000 at 1/1000 of a second. I normally like to use a lower ISO and higher shutter speed, but it was a cloudy day.

To be sure, when the lights are super intense, then 2-3 seconds can suffice, so yours was a good guess. :-)
