Not everyone has an opportunity to photograph animals in the wild, but the field cameras that I am using to photograph wildlife in Arnold will work in your backyard. I wrote a blog about this, My First Experience With A Field Camera, and I’d like to recap.
I started using a field camera after my dad and I discovered that something was eating our pumpkins. So I purchased a field camera and set it up in the backyard — our adventure began. I had photos of squirrels, ground squirrels, rodents, birds, and kitties. I want to go through my steps to set the camera up if you are interested in trying this yourself.
Over time some of the cameras that I have recommended are no longer available, so below is the most recent camera I purchased on Amazon. The Strikeforce cameras have worked the best for my purposes. However, there are many different types of field cameras to choose from.
I’ve included photos of the front, back, and sides of the box to show the camera’s specs.
After a week I checked the camera to see my photos. They weren’t all keepers, but I have some terrific pictures of Teddy.
Be sure to share your results with me if you set up a field camera, but have fun with this new adventure!
