Set your camera to self timer. Usually around 10 seconds isn't it? enough time to press the button and steer clear of nudging anything!

most cameras have a shorter setting, too.

I use a wireless remote, myself. Best $20 accessory I've gotten for my camera!

Thanks for the tip!

You got a wireless remote for 20?Which one did you get? ! I've just checked and the cheapest wired switch is $49, wireless 3rd party - $90 :/

Zhivago, if you're on the canon boat, lookup "Canon Remote Controller RC-1". Can get them in the UK for about ?15, and photography gear seems to have a roughly 1:1 USD/GBP exhange rate, so it should be around $15 for you.

Thanks! I've found this one!

edit: looks like RC-5 is a crappy one with 2 second delay. I'll get RC-1 for 5 bucks more:))

massively crooked?

I ended up upgrading the head unit to 804RC2. There was a problem with a previous model - really annoying to set it straight horizontally each time.

Tough luck. It appears that Canon 40D doesn't have a wireless reciever chip inside:(( so the only solution is to use a wired remote or spend another $300 on a complete wireless kit. I just got from the store and that's what I was told. I got RS-80N3 for $90 instead....sigh....

Get a Cactus or Phottix.

I was in the process of packing to move and trying not to look outside and see how clear, sunny, beautiful, and blue the sky was. It got the best of me and around 4-5ish I grabbed the girlfriend, the camera, and hopped in the car westward bound for the coast. It was so beautiful and just amazing. Here are a few shots from my expedition, two of them being Haystack Rock. The first has a man who was standing there watching the sun. I thought it would be nice to have him in frame to show just how massive Haystack is. The second is in infrared with an R72 mounted and about a 30 second exposure. The third is Cannon Beach as seen from Ecola State Park.

Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days.
