More Fun With Wireless Shutter Release

I always forget that I have a shutter trigger when I'm out...

I remembered at Nostell Priory this weekend...

As you can see... Practice is required...

The main issue was 'distance'...

Indoors the Chinese trigger works flawlessly over distances of 10+ metres... Outside however it struggles with distances over 3 metres...

I had a similar problem with my first set of flash triggers (YN-04II) and was not solved until I upgraded to the Cactus triggers...

The chinese remotes are so cheap that I find it hard to justify the price of the Pentax one (Pentax-F??)

Lovely! I'd recommend Chinese Yongnuo YN-128 which comes with an antenna on the trigger and works for years and it operates quite a long range of distance. It's price is less than reasonable.
