Hi Folks,
As time went by, I've used a number of methods to release the camera shutter in a controlled fashion (usually to avoid camera shake, or to use long exposure times). My early cameras used a mechanical shutter release, some with a countdown timer, others with a (long distance) pneumatic bulb release.
These days we can often trigger our electronic cameras with a variety of tools, ranging from built in timers to external trigger devices, some wired, others wireless, some even with (remote) live view.
I thought it might be useful to start a thread where we can share our experiences with particular solutions for various problems we might face, and add links to some commercial solutions (or even home made ones), or tutorials where such tools are an unavoidable asset.
I'll kick-off with a simple tool that doesn't cost you an arm and a leg, but can be useful for many different applications, and supports many (but not all) cameras. Feel free to add you experiences of solutions.
To be continued...
Cheers,
Bart
