- I travelled to Slovenia with friends to photograph brown bears. What a fantastic trip we had. Not only did we photograph bears but we also saw and photographed badgers, hedgehogs, hawfinches ,jays, red squirrels and more. Join me on this wonderful photography trip to Slovenia, in fact it was probably the best wildlife trip I have ever been on.

Well done Steve, brilliant footage and stills as always. What a fabulous experience you've had in the forests there in Slovenia. My eldest son has just returned from a climbing holiday there, I told him to watch out for Brown Bears, I don't think he believed me...HaHa I can show him your footage now.😊 Great stuff, thanks for sharing, Cheers, Robert...

A great trip Steve so lucky to get all those images. I heard someone went and only saw one bear, very unlucky, so glad you had a full family showing Awesome
@@CamillaI Thanks very much Mark, yes it was an awesome trip. I can't recommend it enough. We were lucky to see so many bears. Cheers mate.
Hi Steve
It was a long time coming but worth the wait 🙂 I guess, like me, that you had a huge number of photos to review and post-process from your trip to Slovenian Bears! …. and then you had a video to create!
Your video brought back memories of my trip to Slovenian Bears in mid-May this year, not that I had forgotten my own amazing experience 🙂 You saw Brown Bears of different ages on 3 out of 4 days and I saw them on all 3 of my days so it is a score draw! You also saw and photographed a Badger at the reflection pool hide which I didn’t but I did see a Stone Marten (a first for me) in the darkness well beyond the pool.
It sounds like you had a brilliant time and I trust that you were well looked after throughout your stay by the incredible team of Miha, Lenart and Hana.

Hi Richard, yes it took ages to go through all my images and footage. it was a nice problem to have though.
What an amazing experience, I pleased my video reminded you of your own trip.
It was nice to see the badgers and hedgehogs but of course the bears are the main event. The hawfinches were a good bonus too.
Thanks for commenting, all the best, Steve.
Nicely done Steve, your low down/eye-level perspective work of these wildlife captures gives your images that extra punch that makes the difference between a good image and a great image..I myself cut up an old plastic tarp into a 1.5 mtrx 0.6mt piece, that lives in my side pocket of my camera bag, and so handy to lay on for these eye level shots...
@@waynekirk8951 Thanks very much Wayne really pleased you enjoyed it. Yes the hides are really well set up for photography. It was just such a fantastic wildlife photography trip. Thanks for watching, all the best Steve.
Great video Steve very jealous, off to Croatia at the beginning of September doubt will see brown bears in Dubrovnik. See you in November for wading birds.
@@donaldstewart3799 Thanks very much Donald, yes it was a fantastic wildlife photography trip. One of my best ever! Enjoy Dubrovnik, it's a great city. See you in November, all the best Steve.
and there I was thinking I had a good video with some results I was happy with and then you go and release a video with bloody Bears Steve haha super jealous! Maybe one day!
@@JoeMaranophotography Ha cheers Joe, yeah the bears were awesome. It was just a fantastic photography trip. I haven't had a chance to watch your video but looking forward to it. Cheers mate, all the best Steve.
@@SteveHedgesPhotography I get it! I'm so busy myself I haven't had a chance to watch others (I make an exception for you though Steve!)
@@JoeMaranophotography Thanks Joe, really appreciate you taking the time. Cheers mate.
Well done Steve. Love the pictures. Absolutely great to see the bears. What's the website called again ? I was at Richmond last week. And Bushey Heath Park. I got a great shot of a male deer on it's hind legs under a willow tree. I think that it's one of my best deer shots ever. All the best. Jason.
@@jasonlaughton7 Thanks very much Jason, yes what an experience it was to see the bears. The company's website is called slovenia bears.com I can highly recommend them. Ah that sounds like a great shot you have captured. It shows that you don't necessarily need to be there during the rut doesn't it? All the best Steve.
Fantastic stills and videos Steve, especially the hogs 🙂 No wonder you had a big smile on your face. Are the stills with the 180 - 600? Take care mate.
@@cynical1952 Thanks very much Steve, yes I took the 180-600mm to Slovenia and it was brilliant. I 'm probably using it more than any other lens. All the best mate.
Great shots and an amazing trip Steve. Enjoyed the video. Interested to know what lens you mainly used for the bear still images
@@stefanmarch Thanks very much Stefan, yes it was brilliant. One of the best photography trips I've done. I used my 180-600mm Nikon Z mount lens. I'm really pleased with the lens, very sharp. All the best Steve.
Who did you book with?
@@shortie8512 Hi Alex, I booked direct with Slovenianbears.com they were absolutely brilliant. All the best Steve.
