If you have been following this series, you will have noticed that some of the photos feature an animal in side profile and the date and time the photo was taken shown in the bottom left hand corner. In many cases, it appears as if the animal was going about its regular business and does not seem aware that a photographer has just snapped its photo. That is because the photo was taken passively using a camera trap; instead of a person hiding in a blind to take the photo, cameras are strategically placed near key resources (water, food) or in areas where signs of animals have been found in the past.
