CAMERA SHUTTER RELEASE x CABLE RELEASE (CAMERA) xx CAMERA ACCESSORIES xx CAMERA SHUTTER Computers and eclipses. Tips on photographing a solar eclipse. Includes a description of the problem of changing shutter speeds during various intervals of the eclipse, and a possible solution by letting a home computer control a 35mm camera equipped with a motor drive. Hunting the computerized eclipse. Interfacing a Nikon camera equipped with the MD-2 motor drive to an Apple II computer. Computer controlled viewing of the 1980 eclipse of the sun. Includes the final version of the PASCAL program used in the Apple II computer to control the motorized Nikon camera. Keeping your distance. Accessories for remote control photography. What is available in camera shutter remote-control systems and tips on their use. Low-cost, hardwired, control system for activating remote cameras from several hundred feet away. Est. cost: $25. A guide to selecting and using cable releases. A photographic essay on New York's subway resulted in devices to trip a 35mm camera remotely and the installation of a 16mm camera in a large picnic basket with remote cable release. Includes tips on photographing people without their noticing. Optoelectronic detection circuit that will trigger a camera or an electronic strobe when an object enters the space between an infrared emitting diode and a phototransistor. Using infrared photoelectric tripping devices to trigger cameras. Background information and a systematic approach to making unique photographs. Alarm-triggered photos. Adapt a Polaroid "One-Step" camera for remote control. Use as part of an alarm system or to include yourself in photos. Remote camera-triggering devices can help you capture elusive images. What is available and tips on their use. How to take your own picture using a remote control air release, or an auxiliary self-timer. How to attach a remote control rig to your camera. VIC-20 computer controls a camera taking time exposures in order to capture meteor trails. Electronic circuit with a variable time delay will operate an electrical shutter release (solenoid). Use as a self-timer for camera. Tip on how to reinforce a cable release at the point where metal meets fabric cover by covering with heat shrinkable tubing. Tip: Alternative design for a shutter release when a Mamiya C220 TLR camera is mounted on an accessory hand grip. Make a push-button remote cable release, a remote battery pack, and a remote shutter release for a camera equipped with an auto winder. Made from readily available electronic parts. Make your own remote release for your motor-drive or auto-winder. Build a pneumatic remote-control release for a camera auto winder that cannot be adapted for electronic operation. Tip: Use Velcro strips to keep camera cords and cable releases from tangling, flopping about when on camera, and similar uses. Tip: How to use a continuous loop of cord to secure a cable release to your tripod so it is readily available, but can not get lost. Tip: Use heat shrink tubing to repair a flexible cable release. Home-made dual cable release. Tip: Attach a microswitch to an elastic band and wear it around your knee. This can serve as a "third hand" to trigger a camera, flash, etc. How to adapt model radio-control units to make remote adjustments to a still or movie camera. Use them to control shutter, aperture, and other actions from a remote locations. Convert an ordinary electric clock into a switch box for time-lapse photography. A magnet glued to the sweep second hand or to the minute hand will close a magnetic reed switch glued onto the face of the clock. Tip: Plastic film canister is modified to serve as a mouth-operated cable release. Tip: How to trip your camera shutter remotely by using your tongue. How to build a radio control for your camera and flash from the remains of an inexpensive radio-controlled toy car. Est. cost: $10. Build an audio trigger to operate a motorized camera whenever a loud noise is detected. Included in an article on photographing a space-shuttle launch. Est. cost: $35. Electronic time delay mechanism can be built for older Graflex 4"x5" cameras to enable you to get exposures in the 1/2 to 1 second range. This timed solenoid mechanism can be used for other photo exposure and timing applications. Convert the radio receiver from an automatic garage door opener to activate a motorized camera whenever the transmitter is keyed. Works at distances up to 240 feet. Est. cost: $90. Long exposure photography by automatic remote control. Uses an air release on the camera, attached to an air supply controlled by a timer. This allows timed exposures longer than 1-second without any operator. Wireless remote camera releases. A look at what is available in infrared, radio and pulse code devices and tips on their use. Electronic shutter control for taking night time nature photos. The "target" takes its picture when it breaks a beam of light. The battery is disconnected after the picture to save on power. Remote camera shutter release triggered hundreds of feet away by a signal sent over a wire. Camera timer for time-lapse photography. Adjustable timer turns on a floodlight to provide illumination and then activates a solenoid to trip camera shutter. Circuit that will trigger your camera shutter when an animal or person steps on a switch or breaks an invisible beam of light. Homemade self-timer uses a can full of water and a can full of rocks. When the water runs out, the rocks trip the shutter. Homemade remote shutter release is made from wood and rubber bands. What you should know about cable releases. How to take photos from the "ultimate" angle by using remote control. Some ideas. Use a mechanical cable release on a new electronic shutter with this simple accessory. Tip on modifying a Radio Shack Invisible (infrared) Beam Sensor for use as a camera trigger. Photo-Trap, a simple case containing camera, flash, batteries, and a trigger cord is used to photograph wild animals. A long-time self timer. Simple electronic circuit provides a continuously adjustable delay of up to 2 minutes before releasing the shutter. Est. cost: $18 plus camera cable. Two timer circuits for controlling long exposures with the Bulb shutter setting on a newer (electronic) camera. One uses a spring-wound mechanical timer and the other uses an enlarger timer to set the length of exposure. Build an electric cable release. Use a solenoid triggered by a switch to actuate a standard mechanical cable release. Microprocessor control of an eclipse camera. Homebuilt single-board computer controls an automatic camera telling it when and how long to expose a series of eclipse photos. Est. cost: $40. | |||||||||
