I can control you from afar

Yesterday, a very special friend gave me an early birthday present: a remote release for my camera. Now I can take photographs like this. There may now be a spate of remote control blips from me :-)

Time for a minor rant. Nikon make a very nice little remote control for their "amateur" DSLRs, which costs about £15. I have a D300, and the nice wee remote won't work with that, because the D300 is part of Nikon's "pro" range... The Nikon "pro" remote release costs £200+ Serves me right for having a big flashy camera... The remote in the picture is not the genuine Nikon article - my very special friend doesn't have more money than sense - it's made by Hahnel, and while it isn't exactly cheap, it's a damn sight less expensive than the Nikon remote and it works perfectly well :-)
