I see a family of raccoons just about every night in my backyard, giving me time to try different lighting at my camera trap. The strongest light in this image is coming from behind the log, but I also have two other reduced-power flashes hanging from tree branches to the right and in front of the raccoon. Now I just need to get her posing with her two young. 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 flash units.

Beautifully lit!
Thanks Honora. Wildlife photography is usually so reactive, but camera trapping allows one to be much more considered. I nice change of pace for me.
this looks like a campaign for a cologne that smells like raccoon spit. Racouen For Men, by Calvin Klein or something like that.
Nice!
