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.

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
    • How do you connect 5.1 Speakers to this thing?
    • I agree with both of you... It's absolutely imperative that science is completely based on actual proven facts and hard evidence and is not considered dogmatic in any way. Science is not a religion and it will never be, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
