Remote Control [explored]

Last weekend I finally got around to picking up a remote shutter control for my camera. Thinking I'd invest in a decent one with all kinds of extras, my shaking wallet was quickly put to ease by the sales dude, who said my 60D doesn't have the correct jack for the high-end ones =S, so I settled for the bog standard Canon 'one button' RS-60E3.

Armed with some free time and my new gadget, this evening I went to the Sumida River to try it out. For a first effort I was gobsmacked at what is achievable when your exposure runs longer than the standard 30 sec limit. Now yet another whole facet of photography has opened up, so I guess I won't be getting much sleep from now on =P.
