My first soak
« on: May 15, 2010, 11:04:59 AM »
Heres some pics from my first soak with my new trail camera.  I got 190 photos in a week, but has the camera facing the wrong direction and most were pure white photos.  Here are the ones that were decent.

I am new to trail cameras, what do you use as an average shutter speed?  I set mine at 1 minute, but not sure if this is a good setting.

thanks does the flash work against you in the daylight at all?  My flash seemed to white out some photos.

slow shutter speeds will probably make your pictures brighter, a faster shutter speed will be alot better for moving shots and during the day, is there any way you can set your flash to auto?

If you set it at one minute I would imagine you are talking about delay between pictures. Shutter speed is usually measured in a 1/xxxx configuration. I set my delay at one minute, but I also have salt at my camera locations so I end up with 700 pictures over a 2 week period. If you don't have any bait set it to 30 seconds if it will allow. That way you can get multiple pictures of anything that is walking by.

Thanks, next time I will use a salt lick or dog food.  The pears lasted a few hours.
