Camera Accessory Acquisition Syndrom

I had the bug again today. That mean old camera accessory acquisition bug. I had to feed it. I had to scratch the buy-stuff-for-my-camera itch.

I bought a remote shutter switch and a tripod. I went el cheap-o on both of them. I’m crazy, but I’m not that crazy. The remote is a Rocketfish wireless, and the tripod is a Dynex 60″ Universal.

I set the tripod up in the dining room and took a few pics, including one where the shutter was open for more than a minute. Droooool.

I then took it outside, just around sunset.

The remote didn’t work outside. It worked inside, then I took it outside and it didn’t work, then I took it back in and it did work. ummm… I need to figure that out. It was really cheap, so if it’s an indoor toy then so be it. I pointed the camera at the woods and took some blind shots without being able to focus well.

I don’t see any camera shake, do you? I also pointed it at the sky for a half minute and it seems pretty steady.

So far so good.
