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 ;)

Sorry for the odd sizes and the amount of pictures, just thought id give you a taste of canadian alcholism :huh:

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
