Do you want to unleash your creativity and take your wildlife photography to the next level? If so, this eBook is for you! Let me start by saying, this is not your average eBook. This digital masterclass was designed to not only teach you everything you need to know in order to get you started, but also teach you the skills necessary so that you too can master the art of DSLR camera trapping.

DSLR camera trap photography is rapidly gaining popularity among wildlife photographers and nature enthusiasts alike. Remote camera traps use DSLR (or Mirrorless) cameras, combined with wide-angle lenses to capture remarkable, one-of-a-kind images of wildlife in their natural habitats. Photographs that would be otherwise extremely difficult, if not downright impossible, to capture under normal circumstances. DSLR camera traps can be left out for extended periods of time, from a few days to several months, making them very effective at capturing rare and elusive species. When combined with speedlights (flash), they become indispensable tools for capturing images of nocturnal wildlife.

This eBook is for anyone who is interested in taking the exciting leap into DSLR camera trapping but has no idea where to begin. Not just for beginners, even advanced and pro photographers will benefit from this unique and informative guide, designed to teach you everything you need to know and more about this exciting field of wildlife photography. Think of it as more of a crash course in camera trap photography, rather than just another instructional eBook. Besides covering the basics, the guide also discusses several important topics in-depth, including camera settings, lighting, powering equipment, camera protection, and much more. It also contains a wealth of information and insights that will be beneficial to those already familiar with the craft. Many of the techniques I describe in my eBook have originated from years and years of camera trapping experience.
