Pallid Bat Drinking
This "beautiful" creature was photographed at The Pond at Elephant Head last year. The way it's done is to set up flashes aimed where the bat is hoped to come in for a drink. the pond itself is tiny, making the target reasonably small. The camera is set to take repeated photographs until the battery runs out and the flashes are set off by a motion trigger. This allows the photographers to enjoy a nice glass of wine or beer and swap stories watching the flashes go off a short distance away. Now that's photography at its best!
