I captured this image of an eastern striped skunk with a three-flash camera trap setup. The main flash is on the ground behind the log providing the strong backlighting of the whiskers. There’s actually a smaller log behind the visible log, which the skunks, raccoons and opossums occasionally use to get from one side of our back yard to another. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 17-35mm lens (at 20mm) ISO 500, f/11 at 20 seconds, Cognisys camera box, trail monitor and remote flash units.
Which species of skunk is it that speaks with a French accent and is always cruising to get themselves cancelled? Is that the eastern striped or is that another one?

Oh, that is a stellar capture, Sean’
Thanks Sue. The one creature I’d much rather the camera trap comes into close contact with rather than me.
The skunk pops nicely.
Thanks Donna. That’s that flash I have hidden on the ground behind the log.
