It's time for Part 2 of my introduction into the world of camera trapping! In this video I'll be working with a simple two flash setup, focusing my attention on some rodents. I'll be finding a spot which looks ideal for camera trapping based on activity in the area, and setting up my gear.
It took a couple of attempts to get the setup working right and I was pleasantly surprised by the results although the subjects that turned up were somewhat something of a surprise!!

Hey Simon, I too started camera trapping about a year ago. It truly is a rather large learning curve. We all can surely learn from each other. I learned from a guy by the name of Randy Robbin’s from CA on our west coast in the US how to make a water prof tube out of PVC tubing for my flashes. I expanded on his idea and attached Ram Mounts to mine so that I could mount them on a tree and 90 degrees from that mount I attached a quick mount to them so I could also if needed mount them on a tripod. I live in North Carolina in the US. I’ve watched all of your videos and enjoy your work and have learned a lot from you. Thank you!

@simoneardley 8 месяцев назад

Hi there, youre right about the learning curve. So many ideas for gizmos and gadgets to improve my setup already!! Its going to be a great journey, thanks for watching 😀

@JohnFormstone 8 месяцев назад

A great start Simon, Rats and mice in the garden was my first subject too. 😊That buzz when you open the housing and check for images never goes away, I feel like a kid at xmas everytime. Keep up the good work mate. 👍

@simoneardley 8 месяцев назад

Cheers John, quite pleased with the results. Its so handy when the setups on the doorstep and also knowing the gears gonna be there in the morning!! Catch ya soon, Si 👊

Got to say Simon you are reeling me in mate I may take a crack at this myself,it's great getting out in the field and waiting but so much is missed at night my CCTV at home picks things up but even with the night light the pictures are not the greatest (unless you are a burglar at the back of the house) another great video mate I'm looking forward to the next one all the best

@simoneardley 7 месяцев назад

Nice one Keith, its amazing whats knocking about at night and theres so many opportunities to capture it with todays modern gear. Thanks for watching mate 👀👊🏼

@nigelroberson8911 8 месяцев назад

I’m enjoying this new venture. Flash is of course powerful and some softening would give a natural look.

@simoneardley 8 месяцев назад

@divhead 8 месяцев назад

Simon, use the flash metre, it’s invaluable for setting up, also try to move the flashes to 45 degrees each side of the camera and use 1 as the main light and 1 as a fill set to slightly less power, then play with it from there, good luck, it gets addictive !

@simoneardley 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for the tips, learning with each setup and cheers for watching the channel 👍🏼👀

@rikarthur8969 8 месяцев назад

@simoneardley 8 месяцев назад

Thanks Paul, this setup was on private property where I knew they would be safe. I'm going to cover security and concealment in another film.👍🏼👊🏼

@GeoffCooper 8 месяцев назад

Enjoying this little series Simon and looking forward to seeing where you go with it! It's inspiring me to have a play with that kind of thing - I've actually got some Camtraptions gear that I got during the pandemic with the idea of setting something up in the garden, but then somewhere in between the weirdness of lockdown and the arrival of my daughter, it never made it out beyond a couple of quick tests... 14:26 Interetsing that the Osmo Pocket 3 didn't still manage to face track with the foreground objects - must have been the camo ;)

@simoneardley 8 месяцев назад

Thanks Geoff, aye get the gear out and give it a dust off. It was the onset of Winter and the short days that kind of spurred me to have a go at it. No reason why it cant be used all year round though. Still playing round with the Osmo settings, I suspect I had it in product mode where it switches focus the the nearest object in the frame!! All the best, Si 👊

@GeoffCooper 8 месяцев назад

@@simoneardley yeah, that might have been it with the OP3, but it was moving about which makes me think it was trying to track something... Clever wee bit of kit either way - I had the original one for years and just upgraded to the new one!

@Gazzab6 8 месяцев назад

I would class that as a success Simon. Your attention to detail and vision is first class when it came to planning the result you were after especially with the moss etc. Good luck with the house move and hope it’s before Christmas so you can enjoy the festive season.
