Here's a shot of an American alligator captured with a Nikon D3200, f11, 1/200, ISO 200, wireless active IR beam break sensor and 2 SB-28's. A second camera (D7000) placed farther back in a tree captured some behind-the-scenes shots.

Very nice Casey. I'm wondering why you use the D3200 for the main shot rather than the D7000. I know it is physically larger than the D3200, would it not fit in the case?

As I recall, the 3200 was already rigged up and I pulled the 7000 from another site and used it as an afterthought. I slightly prefer the 7000 due to the CL adjustment mode and dual cards, although the 3200 produces some really high quality images. I have several of each of those bodies and like them both.

I need some training on best way to attach images here.

There are two ways to post pictures here. You can start a gallery using server space here. Or you can link to pictures from your own gallery. SmugMug, Flicker, etc.

That is a great gator shot but the second image puts it into perspective. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the behind the scenes! Cool perspective on that gator.
I've been trying to find a sturdy flash housing for the strobes and curious what your tubes are?
Thanks,

Very cool shot! What style of beam sensor are you using? I need one to compliment my PIRs.

I am really glad all I have to worry about is ticks and mosquitoes.

I'be been thinking about using a second dslr camera in some of my rigs. I hadn't thought to do it this way. Great idea

I'm in Mass, had my first deer tick crawling up my arm yesterday.
