Bobcat
Greater Vancouver Area, B.C, Canada This past fall, winter, and spring, I made an effort to learn how to use a camera trap. Setting up in a local rainforest, I dispersed some raw deer bones in the area to see what would come by. I figured that by using this to attract animals, I could speed up my camera trap learning curve by attracting frequent subjects. My camera trap works by having the subject break an infrared beam, which sends a signal to take a set number of photos. I ended up getting this bobcat just about every week that I checked the camera. Overall, I found that camera trapping is quite possibly the toughest type of photography that I have ever done. Almost every week that I checked the camera, I had made some sort of silly error, or the wet weather would cover the lens in condensation. Another challenge was having the bobcat be in an ideal pose. Finally, after months of trying, I ended up getting some decent results! Trailmaster 1550-PS | Canon Rebel XTI | 15mm | F10 | 1/80 | ISO 400 | 3 flashes Thanks for looking! |
