The camera trap doesn’t always work out as planned. I keep a few surveillance trail cams around to see where the animals are crossing through the yard and also to monitor the effectiveness of my outdoor studio. These two black bears were in quite a playful mood as they made quick work of my camera, throwing it to the ground before actually tripping the shutter. You can see that this is a three flash set up — two hanging from trees and a third on a tripod. Of course, the light doesn’t matter if the camera is facing into the ground. Thought everyone might enjoy this look behind the scenes.
