Photographer @vb_wildlife has successfully tried camera trapping for a shot he thought impossible.

"I wanted to take a photo of raccoons for a long time, but due their nocturnal activity it was almost impossible.”

“For that reason, I decided to purchase a Camtraptions PIR Motion Sensor v3 with two flashes to help me capture this nocturnal animals in their natural habitat. I found a nice spot near the river, where I had previously seen raccoon tracks, and I set up my DSLR camera trap there. After a few days, I checked the camera and there were more than 100 photos of raccoons on it!”

“Here you can see the result. Now I can´t imagine photography without camtraptions."

“I installed my camera trap setup for a few days in the tundra of northern quebec. After a couple hundreds of pictures, I think this one is decent enough. In front of this arctic fox is a caribou antler that was already on site.”

Photographer @michlewicz.m took this photo of a rodent neighbor

“Animals that live around humans are one of my favorite photographic subjects. So when I saw the buildings around the new (new for me, but still old) house, I thought they are a great place for such shots. It took several days to figure out where the rodents are hanging out and set up the camera in a place that will allow for a shot that reflects the spirit of this place. The first rodent that turned out to be an inhabitant of the shed was the yellow-necked mouse (Apodemus flavicollis).”

“Gear used: Canon 6D, Laowa 15 mm f4 wide angle macro, Camtraptions PIR V2 sensor, transmitter and receivers, Nikon SB28 flashes and some other stuff (tripods, flash modifiers etc.)"

“Along these ridges, you might find my signs, scat or a scratch, among some mighty mountain pines.
You see, the tea bushes provide this world out of your sight, a landscape for me to wander, under the cover of night.”

“Earlier this year, I commenced work on a short video (link in bio) documenting the incredible work the Wilderness and Wildlife Conservation Trust (WWCT) undertake in the Central Highlands of Sri Lanka.”

“Their research on species abundance in the mixed-use landscapes of the island's tea country shows the importance of the isolated ridgelines that sit above the estates and their role in sustaining movement paths that connect forest patches, particularly in such human-dominated landscapes.“

“With the main focus on Sri Lanka's apex predator, the WWCT’s "Corridors for Conservation" initiative successfully showcases the Leopard as an umbrella species for driving the protection of these unique landscapes.”

“Pictured here is a female navigating an estate road in the tea-dominated landscape of the Central Highlands. Unlike leopards found elsewhere in Sri Lanka, these leopards are almost entirely active after dark, sharing the movement paths humans use during daylight hours. Despite habitat degradation and intensifying human populations in these areas, she is thriving and raising cubs.”

“Follow the @wwctsrilanka to keep abreast of ongoing work as they expand their research along several other ridgelines that make up the Central Highlands. The work they do would not be possible without continued funding from the And @lanka.environment.fund follow and check out the other important conservation projects they fund and sustain on our island.”

“A big thank you to the WWCT team for the invaluable information in making these images possible, in particular, my field assistant @seanjayasinghe.”

This is photographer @laurazwings‘ first camera trap photo.

“I have used game cameras for over 10 years to see what's going on on our land when the sun goes down, but the quality of the pictures/videos was always a let down. So I pulled the trigger and bought a Camtraption Wilderness Bundle and so happy that I did. Easy to use and so rewarding to have some good quality pictures of the nightime creatures . It feels like Christmas everytime I go to check it 🙂

“One of the most elusive mammals in South America, the Spectacled Bear, as it is also known, lives in cloud forests and parámos, where it looks for fruits and bromeliads to feed.”

“Searching for an intimate image, the team from @parquescolombia and I searched for trails used by bears in the middle of the humid woods to install a camera trap. The result was this selfie shot by this handsome male when he crossed the equipment's infrared sensor.”

“After a month spent unsuccessfully targeting Belize’s larger cat species (Jaguar and Puma), I made a last minute change in location when I heard stories of an ocelot that was taking chickens in the village.”

“Only a few hours after setting up this camera, the Ocelot was caught sneaking into the village, and gave the camera an annoyed glance as he passed by. In the last few days of my trip, the ocelot was captured moving back and forth along this trail, allowing for some interesting shots.”

Photographer @rob_g_green on his work helping Grizzlies in Montana

“A female grizzly emerges from a culvert trap. The last thing she likely remembers is nibbling at bait rigged to a tripwire that slammed the gate shut as soon as she tried to take it. Then she acted in ways cornered grizzlies sometimes do: She gnawed on the bars until her gums bled, slammed her body against the corrugated steel, clawed at the seams until she wore herself out, then raised her head just long enough to feel a tranquilizer dart sink in her shoulder.”

“She wasn’t looking for trouble, she was merely drawn to the calories she so desperately needs this time of year. After getting into some poorly secured grain bins, she found herself on human property and a potential threat to its human inhabitants. If anything, bears are opportunists. If it’s got nutritional value, there’s a good chance they’ll eat it. As more people move to and through Montana, bears are increasingly drawn toward human-caused attractants, and it’s almost always the bear that pays the price.”

“For all her power, she looks timid. The anesthesia is wearing off and she’s trying to get her bearings. This is what conservation looks like sometimes. Instead of simply euthanizing her, wildlife biologists carefully sedated her, gave her a thorough health screening, tagged her, and released her into an area she’s less likely to run into humans.”

“Most would say the next step is hers. Will she learn to forage for her traditional food sources in her new surroundings or will she head back down the mountain toward attractant sites she knows hold food? If she makes the decision to come back to town, there’s a good chance it will be her last.”

“As she took her first steps into her new habitat, I was struck by the question I circle around more and more these days: As we expect her to change her habits to survive on this ever-crowded landscape, are we willing to do the same?”

Photographer @toftphotosafaris has been camera trapping wildlife locally in California with amazing results.

“I've been working on a back valley camera trap project for the last several years at my home in Southern California. I call the project "Wild Ramona" after my small nearby town of Ramona.”

“I have 4-6 DSLR cameras working most of the time capturing a variety of wildlife like Mountain Lions, Bobcats, and Gray Fox. This image of a Red-tailed Hawk was a very unusual image for me.I've made a small waterhole in my valley for the wildlife as we live in a very arid environment. The camera in placed on a support in the middle of water with three strobes to light the scene.”

“Camera trigger is Camtraptions PIR v3. Wireless capability between flashes and camera is also Camtraptions gear.”

“I should have posted this image in time for Halloween. I captured this image using my DSLR camera trap. After hours of observation I noticed this chap hopping up and down a post in the garden.”

“For those of you who love a Tree Creeper then you'll know how difficult it is to photograph these woodland birds.
Look at those claws!!!!”

Photographer @daniconnorwild has worked on a camera trap project with red squirrels and an abandoned truck

“After spending many months watching red squirrels in northern Sweden, I discovered they used an abandoned scania truck to navigate through parts of the forest.”

“I decided to start sprinkling a small handful of sunflower seeds inside the truck. Nature has slowly taken over the truck. The roof has an old wasps nest, tree saplings and amazing lichens cover the back of the truck. The red squirrels would run under the truck to get to another section of woodland so it didn’t take them long to discover the sunflower seeds.”

“To get these shots, I climbed into the car through the window. The keys are still in the car but completely rusted and stuck so there was no way for me to open the door. I didn’t want to alter the car in any way, so I was careful to keep it how I found it. I set up my camera whilst sat on the drivers seat. I used one flash with a diffuser. I set my camtraptions sensor with a delay between each shots. But the squirrels were already comfortable with my camera gear as I’d been working with them for many months. I was thrilled to get a baby squirrel jumping into the car too!”

"In this image I was able to capture the beauty of the lady of the forest, the genet, it is rare to see genets in the daytime, but this specimen uses the trunk to pass from side to side of the mountain as a small river runs underneath."
