Camera trapping can be emotional

Camera trappers soon learn the agony of defeat, but sooner or later they celebrate the thrill of victory.

It can be a heady experience, as you will see in this footage when famous wildlife photographer Gordon Buchanan  views his camera trap results in the field in Bhutan.

    That is just beautiful! I can imagine the feeling. I have been known to dance around in a little circle upon a good capture...:)

    I've seen tyro camtrappers get pretty excited about the most commonplace and mediocre photos, and I have been known to do some John McEnroe victory gestures. Camera trapping is powerful recreation.

    Touching and all, but it might be more interesting to see some McEnroe DEFEAT gestures in the middle of the woods. Branches and pinecones flying, etc
