Pallid bat at oasis

Fantastica¡¡¡¡

Great timing , excellent reflection, ciao Giangiorgio

Thanks! Timing is all electronic. The camera is pre-focused on the point at which a bat will break an IR beam, thereby triggering flash units. The short duration of the flash freezes the motion. Of course you don't know when a bat will come along so you set the camera on continuous shooting with the shutter set at 30s and hope just one bat comes through at a time. It does need to be pitch black, so out in the desert at night is ideal.

It does not get any better than this!

...unless it's just touching the water to cause a spray of droplets. Trigger by Phototrap.
