Pallid Bat, Arizona - a photo on Flickriver

            I joined Chris Dodds and some other great photographers at the Pond at Elephant Head to shoot some bats this past September.  It's quite an experience.  Despite technical difficulties that seemed to plague me, I still came away with some pictures I'm proud of.  This bat was captured by setting your camera to take a picture every 10 seconds.  A beam is set up across a small (read small "very" small") pond which triggers the flash as a bat crosses the beam. You end up with a lot of black images and some wonderful keepers.  I'll post an example of the other set up which uses a flower the bats love and triggers for both camera and flash.
