lavanut: what about buying a simple motion sensor and wireless trigger (phottix since they are cheap). Take the trigger apart and wire the motion sensor instead of the button. Not sure of you could bypass the remote's button but it might be possible. ANd that could be used as a poor dude's motion trigger?
I haven't really played with 2nd curtain stuff at all...only thing I read was to add more motion to a panning shot the 2nd curtain will not freeze things as much? Or do I have that bassackwards? No matter it's down my list for most of what I like doing right now...still I need to find that section in Understanding Shutter Speed which I have just done a cursory skim of so far...btw, I really like Bryan Peterson's books a lot.
