Nichol's Intimate Portrait: Tigers Living Like Tigers
From the website: Setting up an unmanned camera trap at a water hole in India's Bandhavgarh National Park proved rewarding for Nichols, when Bachhi, a young adult tiger, braced herself along the rocks for a slurp of water and temporary relief from the 120°F (49°C) heat.
On Assignment with Nick Nichols by Leah Peterson
From the website: The trap works like a burglar alarm. There is an invisible beam and when the animal breaks it, the camera is set to take 1, 3 or many multiples of pictures. The animal sees the flash, which could cause him to bolt or to freeze. We had one ape take 53 images of himself by staying and triggering the flash. The cameras adjust the shutter speed throughout the day and we also set the trailmaster, the computer that triggers the camera, for certain times of the day when we know the animals will be there.
