I wanted to create a deep forest feel to this camera trap setup, with simple lighting - I think the pose of the Pine Marten adds the final element

From checking the woodland they used to enter the garden earlier that afternoon on the first day, there was a particular tree that caught my attention, right on the Pine Martens’ route in. This became the first area for the camera trap set-up. Messing about with a combination of flashes, flash power and using flash gels (to change the colour of the flash) I was eventually happy and we moved away and waited in Robert’s garden at an elevated point to watch in hope they would come to us. Robert had set up a sensor in the woods and, sure enough, around 9.30pm/10pm the sensor’s receiver flashed to alert us something was moving through the woodland.
