When I was first getting into camera trapping, I kept reading articles about how to avoid capturing so many shots of mice. Along with birds, however, they’ve been one of my favorite surprises and I look forward to their consistent appearances on my camera cards. Fallen ash trees in my back woods create quite a world for them to scurry around on, over, and under. Even though this shot only illuminates the bottom of a fallen tree, I get a sense of it being an environmental image of the deer mouse’s world. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 17-35mm lens (at 17mm) ISO 500, f/14 at 1/160th of a second, Cognisys camera box, trail monitor and remote flashes.

These mice shouldn’t be in the spotlight, having their picture taken so much. It’s not good for them. Look what happened to Brittany Spears.
