I'm trying to figure out what peed on it.

- I had seen these photos a few months ago

and my nose centimeters away from an animal marking.

- [Becca] Welcome back to Full-Frame, buds.

when I hear the words wildlife photography.

Powerful animals photographed using long lenses

But sometimes getting an amazing wildlife photo

because it's hosted by Becca Far-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha.

I specialize in wildlife conservation photography

- Hello, my name is Keith Richards, you know,

- So I got the DSLR to actually make videos,

and my husband and I had moved up to the Catskills

And I just started photographing nature up here.

and it just like grabs you by the throat,

In the fall of 2019, I got the camera trap set up

- [Becca] Camera trapping is the process of leaving a camera

in hopes that an animal will walk by, trip the sensor

The camera is typically kept in protective housing.

the flashes are placed well above the animal's eye line.

You can trigger the system in different ways,

but one common way is by using a passive infared sensor,

- Track and sign is the art of looking for

to try to understand where animals might have been

- I realize if you really study track and sign,

it makes your success rate for your photos go way up.

- [Becca] So we hiked around the Catskill Mountains

for about three hours, looking for clues.

- Two and three eights by one and seven eights.

We have a deer bed right here and, yeah, this is a hoof.

- These little green saplings, foxes just love 'em.

- [Becca] Which Dan then insisted I smell.

- You wanna give it a breath, like a hot,

a nice warm breath, and then take a nice sniff in.

- [Becca] The pee of a red fox, to be clear.
