Shutter remote

Hi Woo,Yes they are a great help.Mr Kandy says that if you are trying to take night time shots,or anything that needs a long exposure{Low Light Conditions}then a Shutter remote control is a must as is a Tripod to hold the camera steady.Good Luck

 

I haven't got one :( and my camera won't accept one I just have to use the camera timer to try to reduce camera shake

 

My Nikon D70s came with a wireless remote (for shutter release) and I love it. It also works on my Nikon 8400 point and shoot. Great for night shots!

 

Which camera do you use.
On Canon SLRs,there is no screwthread on the shoot button,but you can get a strap that wraps around and has a place for a cable release.

Theyre a must for wildlife photography aswell,as you dont have t be too close,which often scares the animals away.

Good luck

Most DSLRs have a socket for an electrical remote control cord, some of these are not cheap!!
As GlenW says above if you don't have a remote control then use the "self timer", these can usualy be set to give a delay of up to 10 seconds, used to be so you had time to dash round the front of the camera and get in the pic yourself, if it has a facility to adjust the time select something like 2 seconds, less time for the wildlife to fly off.
