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 ;)

    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
