Diaries of a Wildlife Photographer: Cameratrap Maintenance and Lynxes in northern Switzerland

Welcome to the 9th Episode: Diaries of a Wildlife Photographer
In this series, I will take you on my various expeditions/photographic tours, show you how I work, how I find wildlife, and techniques to photograph them, as well as tips and tricks.
In this episode we go to my lynx camera traps in northern Switzerland: one will be collected so that I can do local wildlife projects over the summer. the other trap we will move and modify a bit so that it can try to photograph the lynx for a few more months. You will also get an insight into my entire lynx project during the last lynx mating season.

Just watched the entire episode. Such amazing images at the end. The lynx was spooked a bit by the flash, but fortunately it carried on. The deer skull in the foreground of that one image was a nice tough. Did you place it there? Your presentation style is highly similar to mine; unscripted slow TV, as I would call it. I like it! It's natural and real, and I like the pacing. It's not your typical loud, flashy, over the top KZbin video many kids on here produce. Just you and nature. I did notice some compression artifacts in your video, including the drone shots. Do you perhaps output at a low bitrate? If your pc can handle it, try 100 Mbit/s (or even higher). Other than that, keep it up Yannic! I wish I could be there in those lovely mountains 🙂.

Thank you very very much for your feedback😍😍🙏🏻 yes, the Lynx in the snow was a bit spooked, but not very afraid, it was new in the area and probably didn’t know the trap☺️🙈 but it did return, so was not so scary I guess 😉 yes the Skull was placed at the cave, was an idea of a good friend of mine😉 Thanks a lot, yeah that’s the idea, just like you did, take a cup of Tea and enjoy Nature and photography☺️🙏🏻 thanks a lot for the Compliments, appreciate it a lot😍 Yes, I also noticed the Compression, but only at the Camerashots when it got too dark, so I thought it is from higher ISO, may be solved in the future, I’m planning on getting a Dji Action Cam for vlogging 😅🙈 but the tip with the compression is fantastic, should be no problem for my Mac Pro, so I’ll test that in the next Episode👍🏻 thank you very much 😍🙏🏻

Wonderful work, Yannic! Will get some tea and watch through the entire episode 🙂. Over here in The Netherlands, the lynx could make a comeback but we have few places large enough to support a vital population. I am now doing something similar as you, but with badgers. Good luck!

Thanks a lot, nice to hear that the lynx is getting some new territories 😍😍👍🏻 have fun ☺️ hope you enjoyed it ☺️ badgers are awesome, gonna photograph them this year as well
