Based in the UK, photographer @paulfurnerphotography skillfully captures the awe-inspiring wildlife surrounding him. Showcasing his talent in his first camera trap project, he unveils a stunning image of a magnificent male kingfisher.

“Kingfishers visit this particular location once or twice a day and I had spent quite a few hours waiting for them and, somewhat inevitably, missing the opportunity when they did arrive!

I bought a Wireless PIR Motion Sensor v3 and a camera housing in early April and combined it with a Canon 5d mark III and 24-70 mm lens.

A few days after deploying the kit, and tweaking a few things, I was delighted to see this image on the back of the camera! It was only possible because of the Camtraptions kit.”

Photographer @paulcretinon, a passionate lover of the ocean and forests, has recently embarked on an exciting journey into the realm of camera trapping, further fueling his enthusiasm for wildlife.

"The deer and the hound,
These are two pictures taken in January 2023 a few days apart,
Pyrénnées Atlantiques, South Ouest, France,
Full hunting season here, so a difficult season to work,
But so much harder for wildlife,
Two pictures, one spot, that I let everyone interpret one story in their own way"

"Photographer @yatinverma13 has been documenting wildlife in Delhi, providing a unique glimpse into the lives of urban leopards through the use of cameratraps."

“For the past few years, I have been documenting and sharing photos of leopards in unprotected areas of Delhi and neighboring cities. On this special day, I wanted to share a recent photo from my ongoing project.(doing it with @wildvisuals.in)
This photo was taken during a project with @bnhsdelhi, where we have been studying leopards in Delhi and surrounding areas. Just a few years ago, we had little to no information about the presence of these beautiful creatures, but now we are able to closely observe their behavior, food habits, and other important details.

I want to thank @bazgorana, @omveer.kumar.50702, and other fellow wildlife enthusiasts who are also dedicated to documenting these leopards. Let's continue to raise awareness about the importance of protecting these magnificent animals and their habitats.“

“A collection of Common Raccoon (Procyon lotor) photos from my first camera trap set. These mammals are often common in urban environments. Due to their similarities with panda bears and their affinity to scavenging through trash they have adopted my favorite animal nickname, Trash Panda.”

Photographer @ostvangsperspektiv has been capturing images on his camera traps of the arctic wildlife in its raw beauty – from otters, mountain hares, and lynx to the elusive arctic fox.

“Snow is falling and the red fox is still hidden by the darkness of the night on 70 degrees north. But not for long. In a few weeks the midnight sun will be back.

The camera was mounted in a Camtraptions weather-sealed camera housing, which is perfect for our arctic weather conditions”

Photographer @ryan.pennesi.photography has been trying camera trapping since 2015 and it has become his favorite technique.

“I use DSLR cameras with a wide angle lens and @camtraptions wireless motion sensors. It is fun to see how popular camera trapping has become and how far the technology has traveled since I began.

Fisher: A large male fisher travels along a ridge-line corridor overlooking a river valley below.
Lynx: A Canada Lynx pauses after leaving a snowshoe hare kill site. I tracked the lynx to a spot where it had killed and cached an entirely un-consumed hare. I captured the exact shot I had imagined in my head as the cat left the small forest opening of the kill site!
Bobcat: This large male bobcat pauses briefly to contemplate my camera trap. I chose this spot based on the wild cat scrapes seen nearby at the base of large boulders. I new that it was just a matter of time before a cat would return to refresh its scent territory marking.
Cougar: A cougar walks towards the camera high on a forested mountain on the North Shore of Lake Superior in Northern Minnesota. This is a rare and exciting visitor for my area. I notified local wildlife officials of the sighting.
Raccoon: This common raccoon investigates my camera trap. I chose the location based on a thin travel corridor high on a forested mountain along the shore of Lake Superior. I could see where wildlife had repeatedly traveled along the edge of the cliff face.
Badger: A badger appears traveling a game trail, pausing on a decaying log for a brief glance at my camera trap. This visitor was a surprise to be because it is in an area outside of the animal's known range in the state of Minnesota. Ranges of wildlife continue to shift as climate change advances.
Moose: This mother cow moose got a little closer to the lens than I had imagined! I placed this camera for moose in a black spruce lowland where I could see a worn path in the tall grass and mud.

Photographer @thesantogrial after years of trying

Photographer @thesantogrial after years of trying he finally got the photo he was after of a wild puma in the region of San Luis Potosí.

“After many attempts, my perseverance, patience, and persistence finally paid off. On a sunny morning, while I was checking my cameras, the puma was there, right in front of my camera trap, majestic and proud in its natural habitat.

The photograph shows us this majestic cat in its natural habitat. It is a reminder that these magnificent, agile and impressive animals are also fragile and in need of our protection.
We must take steps to preserve and protect our fauna and flora, and learn to appreciate the beauty and importance of wildlife in our lives.”

Based in France, nature and landscape photographer @maxime_berenger_photography used his camera trap to capture this image

"The common genet is a nocturnal animal and rather discreet in the south of France. I wanted to make an aesthetic image of this animal in its natural habitat. At the end of a tree lying on the ground, was this tangle of branches quite aesthetic, I knew that the biotope corresponded and I had made some images of Stone Marten (which shares some of these habits). After several weeks, the Genet finally appeared, and it is not less than fifty images of the animal that were triggered that night, my favorite remains this one, posing proudly in front of the lens."

Photographer @filipbl is based in Gjesdal, Norway where he is being camera trapping pine martens.

“I saw signs of this pine marten, and deployed my cameratrap in the autumn. When it started to snow later that winter, I was lucky that it was already used to to the camera gear, and I got several photos of it in the snow. By then, the pine marten got its beautiful thick winter coat.

I used the PIR v3 sensor, a Nikon D810 with to flashes, triggered by the wireless Camtraptions triggers.”

Photographer @atharva.raut capture this image of an ‘urban leopard’ with his camera trap

“In the middle of the metropolitan city of Mumbai, is a 104sq.km protected wilderness - Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP). Surprisingly, this forest has the highest density of leopards in the world despite the overlap of an encroaching urban landscape. Leopards frequently venture out in the city on the outskirts of the protected area. This image of a sub-adult male leopard was shot in the outskirts of SGNP, in proximity of an apartment building. Coexistence at its finest! These leopards use the cover of the night, to stealthily traverse their urban habitat. Made this image with an intention to capture the resilience and wit of these incredible animals up close.”

"Wild boar winter photography could be very challenging sometimes, mainly due to their noctural activity. One of the best ways to photograph them in the snow is to use Camtraptions equipment. I set my DSLR camera trap near to my backyard and took this photo after three nights."

Photographer @finleydennisonphoto captured this beautiful portrait of a squirrel in the snow with his camera trap set up.

"Red squirrel (Sciurus Vulgaris) - Whilst staying in the Cairngorms, I stumbled across a red squirrel in the local woodland. Giving me the idea to set up a camera, which would be triggered if the squirrels came to feed on the nuts I had left. The aim was to try and capture a wide angle perspective of the squirrel, incorporating its habitat and surroundings.
After a week of no luck with lots of trial and error, I was thrilled to find one morning that the squirrel had come, and everything had worked. Not only that, but an unexpected snow storm in the night, had transformed the woods. Amazingly the camera had captured the squirrel in a snowy wonderland, amongst the falling snowflakes.”

“The photo was taken in Lødingen, Northern Norway. And I used a Nikon D3200 with a nikon 18-70mm DX lens, and 2x Nikon SB-28 flashes. The camera was placed in a Camtraption housing, and trigged with a Camtraption PIR v3.0 sensor.

The camera trap I placed nearby a path in the deep snow, made by the hares. In deep snow conditions they often use the same route over and over, to move easier in the snow.”

“In the high mountains of Montana lives a creature with a formidable reputation. A vicious beast rumored to be capable of driving grizzly bears off of carcasses. Gulo gulo, the wolverine, is without a doubt one of Montana's rarest carnivores. A true symbol of the wilderness.

World of the snow leopard

“Against a backdrop of the spectacular mountains of Ladakh in northern India, a wild snow leopard has been caught in a perfect pose by Sascha’s carefully positioned camera trap.
Thick snow blankets the ground, but the big cat’s dense coat and furry footpads keep it warm. Sascha captured this image during a three-year camera-trap project high up in the Indian Himalayas. He has always been fascinated by snow leopards, not only because of their incredible stealth but also because of their remote environment, making them one of the most difficult large cats to photograph in the wild.”
