The PERFECT Badger Photo: Wildlife Photography Camera Trapping
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- I finally got the perfect badger photo! And in this weeks' vlog I will show you how I made that, using camera trapping techniques for wildlife photography. Last week I showed you how I scouted this location with a game camera. Now I will show you what equipment I used to setup the camera trap, and what decisions I made and why. It all resulted in an amazing photo I am so happy with!

Hey Jeroen, I can see why your family wanted that photo on your wall. What a great photo! It looks like the trigger worked out well and I am sure it was a exciting moment when you checked your camera. Fun video for sure! Greg
Thanks Greg! We all love badgers here. Both my sons and my wife have gone with me watching badgers. Awesome animals!
Brilliant photo. Well worth the effort. Congratulations.
Much appreciated Matthew!
I love your passion and enthusiasm!
Thanks Tim! :D
Great photo worth the wait..
Thanks so much John! Very happy with the photo myself :)
Hey Jeroen,
Some thoughts for your Q&A.
What is your favourite subject? Firstly by genre and then individually (birds/ mammals/ landscapes etc) then favourite bird, mammal etc.
You are very proficient at camera trapping and use it as a tool in your armoury. Do you find it any more or less satisfying than being actually present behind the camera at the time of exposure?
It seems a large part of photography these days involves a lot of post processing on the computer. Do you think there is a place for manipulation in wildlife/nature photography?
As a RUclips creator your videos are quite "mobile". Do you prefer a more mobile approach to wildlife photography or would you prefer a more static hide based approach.
All the best.
Robert
Some excellent questions Robert! Especially on being mobile and the contradiction with this type of photography. I will get into that!
Wow nailed it completely Jeroen!! Absolutely love the sand in the Badgers coat showing how the Badgers had been working away on the den. Well done mate. Cheers Keith
So happy with it myself Keith. Wish photography would work out like this all the time :D
Well done Jeroen. That is the perfect result for your vision, planning and execution.
As you mentioned, finding a sett that is photogenic is one of the hardest parts of badger photography. I have an image in mind at a local sett which like yours involves an attractive tree but i also want to include some sky through the branches. As it is not an active entrance (the overall sett is definitely active) it is going to involve some baiting for a little while.
So, I have the image envisioned and now I need to do some more active planning, then follow your example and get off my backside to execute it!!!!
Nice one.
Oh that sounds awesome Robert! Can't wait to see your end result!
Great capture! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much again for watching Jon!
Awesome capture Jeroen Stunning shot.
Thanks so much Kevin!
That's a great shot Jeroen. I can just imagine your face when you spotted the second badger in the shot, behind the tree. Well done.
Haha yes, I only first saw the second badger at home, on my pc screen :)
Great photo - it's obvious that your work and patience paid off.
Thanks George! Very happy with it :)
That's a superb image Jeroen 👌👏
Thanks Nick!

Thanks Andy!
Amazing photo Jeroen. Well worth all the effort you put into getting it.
Thanks John! Wasn't as difficult as the wolf photo. But this type of photography takes more time then the usual wildlife photography for sure :)
