•  Support I have to ask, how did he get them jumping at the same time like that? I don't think he would do any kind of trickery like Photoshopping one of them into the picture, so I'd have to say it's an amazing capture. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:15, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
•  Comment There is one more of this action series. Male bandicoots defend their territory, so perhaps it was a territorial dispute. --Ivar (talk) 09:41, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
•  Support I too wonder how. Triggered on movement? However it was taken, it's amazing. - Benh (talk) 09:46, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

•  Support I would guess he did it by putting his camera into burst mode and having it take lots of shots, could be wrong though. In any case this is great stuff Cmao20 (talk) 01:24, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
•  Support Great capture, but are the exif datas correct? Focal length "33 mm", how is it possible? I wonder how the photographer could get so close to the animals without scaring them -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:38, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

•  Question I'd love to know how you achieved this amazing shot of these two rare mammals JJ Harrison? 1/5 sec but flash did not fire? Did you have 'studio' lighting? It must be so unusual to have two endangered species together like this - are they wild? Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:27, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

  @Basile Morin @Charlesjsharp, it would be interesting to know yes. In the meantime my best educated guess is that it's a triggered trap where the flash isn't directly connected to the camera. That would explains the 33mm and the unusual settings. - Benh (talk) 12:58, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

• Links in case some people don't know how a camera trap works. Example. --Cart (talk) 19:43, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

• Not a good example - flash is activated by camera in the set up illustrated. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:10, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

• Just giving a general idea, to distinguish from other traps where animals are captured. There is no way of knowing what Harrison's setup looked like. An external flash does not always register in the EXIF. Some flashes connected to and synced with the camera will give you a "Flash did not fire" in the EXIF if they use different standards. --Cart (talk) 12:12, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

• Yes it was a camera trap - I used a camtraptions trigger and two off camera flashes. I think due to the lack of E-TTL the exif data is inaccurate with respect to the use of flash. JJ Harrison (talk) 21:39, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
