This year, Smith captured the Best in Show title at the Lions Gate Camera Club’s 2020 Celebration of Nature Photography competition, for his photograph Grizzly Cubs Playfighting. He took the prize-winning picture of two grizzly clubs romping in the Chilco River during a trip last summer to Tsylos Park Lodge, a wilderness lodge at Chilco Lake in the Chilcotin. “It was challenging and I had to really work hard to get that perfect shot,” said Smith, who has spent decades shooting nature. “We were on a river on a flat-bottomed boat that was always moving about — then you throw in the weight of those big lenses.”
