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 ! 😃

Absolutely!

Hi Drew. That’s great to hear and thanks for taking the time to comment
Your patience was rewarded !😮😊
It certainly was Ole! 😀😀
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!
Thank you very much! Yeah the fever wasn’t very pleasant but in the end it worked out well! Slovenia is beautiful!
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
Thanks so much for the kind words!! Glad you enjoyed the video
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 RUclips. Thanks for your hard work!

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.
Thank you very much for the kind words. Thanks for subscribing!
simply wonderful!! a dream coming true... could you please tell me where I can book the lodge/go visit the hides?
Hi there. Thank you. I think if you just Google Slovenianbears.com it will come up.
Yep, bears are not show ponies. 😄Glad your patience paid off. Greetings from a Slovenian (watching from another country, missing home).
Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😃
😮
Great work and amazing images !👍
Thank you very much!
NIce that you like our country :) great video. Always wondered where do you go to toilet in this hides :D
It’s a beautiful place!! Haha yeah…you basically don’t 😂
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!
Much appreciated. Thanks for watching
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
Thanks for coming to slovenia! Welcome to our country (and slovenia is where i live!)
It was an amazing country to visit!!
👍
✌️🇸🇮
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?
Is it possible to get the contactperson who organize the safari
I went with Michele Bravassano but was booked through Slovenia bears
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
