16.04.2024 - Wrapping up Svalbard and Polar Bear Death

In this episode, I wrap up the two Svalbard expeditions I just completed (trip reports coming soon) with my thoughts on the experiences and wildlife encounters. I discuss the unfortunate incident in which the Polar Bear researcher's actions in Svalbard have again resulted in the tragic death of a Polar Bear (this time a young cub). Lastly, I also discuss the recent Asia/Pacific Photography awards, a revelation about autofocus when shooting in heavy snow, my plans for the rest of 2026, and more.
