Marcel Huijser Photography Home
This is where I show the most recent images and talk about how they were made. The images typically relate to landscapes and wildlife, but I also blog about photos of highways and mitigation measures for wildlife or road ecology in general. Please contact me if you would like to use any of the images.

I have started to experiment with DSLR cameras attached to sensors. A sensor pair consist of a transmitter and a receiver, in this case a Trailmaster 1550 system. The transmitter transmits an infrared beam that is received by the receiver. If an animal's body breaks the infrared beam the camera and associated flashes are triggered. The sensors are set to a certain height; typically the middle of the torso of the "target species". In this case I was expecting elk or deer, but I set it low enough so that a coyote, wolf, or mountain lion would also trigger the camera. I put the stick where I thought an animal may walk through the beam. The stick allowed me to pre-focus the camera. Of course I removed the stick again after having set up the equipment.
When I was busy setting up the equipment a cow elk wandered up to about 50 m from me. Then she noticed me and issued a series of loud "barks".... it was very loud and a bit eerie in the dark forest with the large trees... Bethanie who was down below came running up the slope to save me from whatever beast was making those sounds!

Montana birds: Bald eagle takes off with white-tailed deer fawn
Montana birds: Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) takes off with white-tailed deer fawn (Odocoileus virginianus), Montana, USA. I saw the eagle sitting in the tall grass, head sticking out. Normally, bald eagles sit in snags along the river, so I suspected something was going on. Then I saw it getting ready for take off based on body posture... I just had enough time to set my camera to high speed continuous shooting before the eagle took off.... phew!
