Hi Everyone,
I need some help and advice.
I am looking for a remote device that i can use to control my camera when in 'bulb' mode for the shutter.

Basically, I want to be able to press a button to open the shutter and the button again to close it again.
I am trying to capture images with really long exposures (potentially hours) and dont want to hold the camera.
Me holding it will increase the chance of camera shake and it will get uncomfortable.

I have seen a couple, but the are selling for $180 NZD which is alot more than i expected.
Can anyone give me some advice?

Many thanks in advance

Matt

A Google search for "Canon EOS 1100D remote shutter release" produced this ==> http://goo.gl/M0vN4 Prices range from 27 cents on up. :)
