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.

[FST513]

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

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

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.

timer

[FST513]

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.

[ZENNON]

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
