a day to show a landscape changing with the seasons. Years ago, time lapse photography was all about getting half-a-dozen prints showing the changes to a subject over time. Digital photography has changed all that. Now the individual exposures are merged into a movie. Each second of movie needs 25 images, so hundreds or thousands of images are needed. We will be covering time lapse movies and how to make them in a future issue of EOS magazine. The camera must be set on a tripod or other fixed support during the sequence – you cannot move it between exposures. If you set the timer to fire at long intervals, not only do you tie up your camera for the duration, but you need a secure viewpoint. If you leave the camera to get on with the shooting, you want it to be there when you get back. Compatible cameras EOS 1D, 1D Mark II, 1D Mark II N, 1D Mark III, 1D Mark IV, 1Ds, 1Ds Mark II, 1Ds Mark III, 1D X, 5D, 5D Mark II, 5D Mark III, 6D, 7D, 10D, 20D, 30D, 40D, 50D. If you want to use a timer with a camera which uses the E3 remote socket, take a look at the Hähnel Wireless Timer Remote Giga T Pro . This combines the functionality of a wireless remote shutter release with a timer remote. It is supplied with N3 and E3 adaptors, so is compatible with all EOS digital cameras. Another option is the Hama Timer Remote Release . This is a wired device, but can be used with an extension lead. It offers a range of functions. N3 and E3 adaptors are available separately to give compatibility with all EOS digital cameras.

Mighty light Macro arm light with twin LEDs on flexible stalks for versatile lighting for your macro and close-up shots. You can choose a setting of Off/Low/High for each arm. Each LED operates at a slightly different light level, so you can achieve eight different levels of brightness. The LEDs stay cool and are flicker-free for consistent lighting. The output is equivalent to daylight (cool white) at 5600K. The bulbs have a 50,000 hour life.

Remotes are only effective with a camera on a tripod. If you only photograph static subjects, you can use the camera’s self-timer mode to delay the exposure – this will give time for any movement caused by pressing the shutter button to die away. If your EOS works with the Canon Remote Control RC-6, buy it. This has to be the best- value accessory for your camera. Remote switches are useful where you are photographing moving subjects and need to shoot at exactly the right moment – the LC-6 does the same job with compatible cameras. Wireless controllers are useful where you need to be some distance from the camera when shooting – wildlife photography, for example, or sports photography where you are allowed to set up the camera, but not stay with it. In some cases a remote switch with extension lead(s) may be a cheaper option. Timer remotes are good for automatic interval timing. Most of their other functions can be done in other ways, but are useful additions to the remote. Auto-sensing is a specialised requirement, but the Hama IR Remote Trigger can also be used as a straightforward wireless remote. Remote viewing and panning is useful if you do close- range wildlife photography.

Below The camera was set to self-timer mode – the flashing light on the front of the camera indicated when a picture would be taken. The remote timer was set to an interval of about 60 seconds. This meant that a series of self-timer images could be shot without returning to the camera. EOS 40D, 1/2000 second at f3.5, ISO 400.
