DSLR camera traps revolutionize wildlife photography by providing unparalleled access to natural animal behavior without human interference. Remote camera traps use DSLR (or Mirrorless) cameras, which allow photographers to capture candid, high-resolution images of elusive and nocturnal species that are often difficult to observe in person. These powerful devices are invaluable at capturing behaviors and moments that would be nearly impossible to document otherwise. In addition, camera traps can be left out for extended periods of time, from a few days to several months, making them very effective at documenting rare and elusive species. When combined with speedlights (flash), they become indispensable tools for capturing images of nocturnal wildlife.

Whether you're eager to document wild animals in their natural habitat for the first time, or simply want to hone in on your skills, this guide will serve as your steppingstone to mastering the art. Think of it as more of a crash course in DSLR camera trap wildlife photography, rather than just another instructional eBook. Many of the techniques I describe in my eBook have originated from years and years of camera trapping experience.
