A vision, patience and a bit of luck is sometimes required for getting the shots. Here is how I planned my photos of the Common Buzzard.

I was walking in the forest when I heard a familiar sound: the call of the sparrowhawk. How could I get close to them and get decent photographs in the dense forest? The hunt was on.

Here is how I customized my SB 28 flash units to run off of 12 rechargable Eneloop batteries for extended lifetime when cameratrapping.

After first finding some droppings I suspected was from the pine marten, I was determined to get photographs of the elusive predator.
