Wim also shares the technical challenges of camera trapping, including balancing distant security light with flashes, working at 15-second exposures, and enduring sand, lost gear, and countless failures before seeing the winning frame. He also discusses predicting behaviour, his shift from stock photography to hosting and fine-art print sales, and a shot made with a submerged wide-angle camera triggered remotely.

Listen out for a very special giveaway from Pangolin Photo Safaris and Wim van den Heever.
