I am guessing it would all be automatic ... once the photographer had spent years monitoring the movements of the wolves; years putting together, practicing with, and refining the equipment; weeks deciding on the best location to set up; and spent months waiting and getting nothing or lots of photos of local dogs and cats
It's rather like last year's winner - the photos of the Snow Leopard - they are so rare and so hard to come across that the IR route is about the only way to go. I have to say though I thought last year they had way too many Snow Leopard photos winning in different categories ... I went to see the exhibition locally and I think the same guy won 3 sections with slightly different photos of Snow Leopards. It's a very difficult thing to get but I thought there were better photos in some of those sections and it looked like the judges had just given him the prize on the rarity of the subject.
