What camera do you have? And do you want Canon branded or 3rd party?

Prices varies between entry level cameras (rebels/450D/1000D etc) to pro-sumers (40D/50D/7D) and then 5D/1D.

Average price is between $40-100 depending on if you want an automatic timer, pre-programmed times to keep it on for etc..

Hope i have helped and sorry for the super long info! Got a bit carried away :(

Nah dude, I for one appreciate you taking the time to explain things.

Hopefully I find the time to contribute some cool stuff like that in future.

No problems!

You can also try it without using a glass, use a big glass dish. That's how people get that kind of effect like its a lake etc.. I might try that later on.

More shots to come tonight :(

sif, the more info the better. love learning what rigs and equipment people are using.

i was just wondering (havent been able to look in shops or find prices online)

BUT

approx how much are shutter release cords? need one for my canon. even though every weekend i tell myself i want to go play with the camera and it NEVER happens.

i like jay019's middle shot and zennons city corner shot.

Thanks Passive

As for a shutter release cable - i got mine from DealExtreme - works fine - was under $5 delivered

Mine looks like this: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12515

agreed - next time take a photo of the setup :(

Ok no problems. Anything i think that deserves a setup pic i will take it :P I'll set this all up again for you guys sometimes this week and take a photo of it.

From what i can see the photos are still looking great

I got a remote one for my canon 40D for about $15 delivered on Ebay. works a treat.

I got one for my Nikon, a 3rd party one from china with shutter lock for $5 delivered off ebay. Works fine, its just a switch on a cable.

The D90 has a feature which allows you to delay the shutter by 1 second so when you press it on a tripod you don't get a shake from pressing the button. Not sure about other models/brands.

It's most commonly referred to as a timer normally with 2 or 10 seconds (Canon).

But looks as though in the manual its called Exposure delay mode (unless that blog is a noob blog, but doesn't look like it).

I'm surprised the D90 doesn't have mirror lock up. I thought it would.

Yeah WISH my D80 had mirror lock up (well it does but for cleaning ONLY)

and no the thing funky is talking about is not actually the normal timer - its just a selling point for noobs imo

yeah the D80/D90 doesn't do mirror lock up, only the D300 and higher. Suppose that's OK for a prosumer DSLR. This thing just delays the exposure by a second, kinda lame, but meh. Never used it, between using the timer or remote with a tripod pretty much gurantees shake free shots. Might be of help to those who don't have access to one of the two.

A few canadian renditions of a friend of mines pub over the holidays! Oddly enough the pictures looked much much clearer with 5 or 6 pints down the hatch ;)

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
