On the first image, the child in the bag smiles while I prepare the setting. Notice the look on my face denoting effort! This is one of those photos that simply happen when the sensor is accindentally activated, as the equipment is being prepared...
On the second image, the Genet that inhabits the place crosses the path at dawn. As expected, as the animal goes by the sensor activates the camera, which turn makes the four flashes go.
A few days only mediate between chance and a programmed photo.

photographing vultures with wide angle lens and infrared beam cells
Tejo Internacional, Portugal


The Griffon Vulture and the Eurasian Black Vulture are the two species I plan to dedicate more time to, in the near future. This is one of the approaches I am currently working on: using a wide angle lens and infrared beam cells to photograph these necrophages feeding. This system is easy to assemble, but some aspects have to be considered to preserve the equipment, since an attack by 50 to 100 birds, some weighing over 10 kg, can seriously jeopardize cameras.
