Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

Yep, due to a tragic turn of events, now Bear:1, D4:2

Those brown bears seem very very nasty.

Nah, they're just at the top of the food chain. Mess with them at your peril.

In the recent death by bear, the victim ignored widely publicised recommendations and conventions to keep at least 1/4 mile from any bear and retreat if they move in your direction. He approached close to the bear to take photos.

If that was the case then you do have to question the sanity of the persons involved

Arguably beyond question.
