DSLR Trap Wildlife Images
Came across a neat video with just a couple hundred views. The photographer figured out a way to setup a dslr that would be triggered like a trail camera. The Flickr album linked in the video description has some really impressive images!
Thought it was pretty unique setup and great results 🙂

Those are excellent results! I'm surprised how he was able to edit those dark flash photos to look so natural. Amazing what he was able to capture.
The trigger device he's using makes the most sense. They make some especially designed for lightning capture as well, and someone I follow on Instagram uses one with great results.
When Ricoh released their Pentax SDK to the public a few years ago I started playing with what kinds of apps I could make with it. I made one that took a baseline from the liveview feed coming into the app, and each new frame that came in would analyze sections for changes in pixels. You could define the grid and how big or small and the threshold for each square to suit your purposes. It wouldn't have worked at night though, sense you would want to trigger using IR or something that could actually see. For general motion capture it worked, but for lightning it was too slow. The actual computing was fast, it was the communication back and forth between the phone and the camera that was too slow for lightning.
Anyway, cool stuff.

What a coincidence, I was wondering if anyone has done this before. I'm at my girlfriend's Grandpa's cabin in Northern MN currently, it's in moose, black bear, and timberwolves territory would be cool to setup a DSLR trap.
Wow these almost look like museum dioramas! I can only imagine how freaked out a badger would be if it was getting after some mushrooms and suddenly from nowhere it just gets blinded by a flash though haha.
