Taken with a Nikon D3200 with a 18-55 VR lens. Three strobe flash set up. Enjoy.

Very cool shot. You were awfully close to it. Is this a captive animal?

Nope this is a wild animal. This was taken with a Nikon D3200 with a IR trigger with a three strobe flash set up.

So basically, i set up a camera, find a focus point of were i am hoping that a critter walks by and set the IR trigger and walk away. Everything is set up in manual mode. Even the flashes. This picture was taken at Midnight if i remember right. Every once in a while you will get a great capture like this one.

That's awesome! I was wondering how in the world you could get 3 strobes setup. It would be interesting to see a photo of your setup. Do you leave the camera out in the open or it is contained in something?

Here you go Hunter. This is a picture of the set up that captured the Badger photo. You can see the box that i put the Nikon in and right beside that is a little black box, that is the IR motion detector. You can see three Nikon SB28 flashes up in the trees.
I will leave a camera set up like this for weeks at a time. I have a couple of cameras 600 miles from me that I will leave up in the mountains for months at a time.
