The most important thing to remember when photographing bears wheather or not they have cubs is stay a safe distance. While bears look big and slow, they are a really fast animal. I've personally seen them charge across a field and was amazed by the speed the produce. With the black bears, I aplologize that the pictures of the cubs didn't turn out. It was disappointing when I got home, but that's part of photography, especially shooting manual and not auto. But for me the pictures are worth the risk in the end with the good pictures, and I'm still learning too.
If you make it to Yellowstone, to see a bear, if you see a late group of people stoped on the side of the road, find yourself a safe place to get off the road and go check what everyone is looking at. The is a chance that they are looking at a bear. There is also a chance it could be another animal but it is always worth looking. You never know what you might find.

So if you manage to find bears be sure to shoot from a long safe distance, 100 yds is suggested minimum. So whenever you have the chance, grab your camera head out and take some pictures. Just remember to always be safe in your adventures.
