You can get decent shots by leaving your lens cap on, setting camera to bulb, pressing shutter button then taping the shutter button down somehow, remove lens cap, wait for your exposure time to lapse, then re-attach lens cap and undo the tape.

Feb 12, 2008 12:04 | #4 Thanks guys - the insane idea of taping it down did occur, but I guess I'll have to aim for a release in the long run!

I forgot the 400D had a 2.5mm stereo jack for it's cable release. I actually made a similar item for my old camera. Alas, the 30D uses some wierd proprietary Canon connector. Dan
