Ok so let me explain,
i had my slr on my slr gorillapod on a window ledge with my shutter release cable plugged in.
what you are looking at here is the gorillapod letting me down, and my beautiful Nikon slr and my pride 50mm 1.4 lens falling to the ground from a great height.
this is the moment i felt i was having a heart attack!
I threw myself across the room like in an action movie to grab the camera but my stupid clumsy hands missed.
"NOOOOOOOOO!"
(well what i said was not repeatable on here, so 'no' will do)
It was my big stupid hands that managed to grab onto something/anything.
it was my shutter release cable, very luckily for me the cable stayed plugged into my camera long enough for me to grab my camera and put it on a table after disconnecting my gorillapod n swearing at it.
It was grabbing the shutter release cable that took this shot.
it only happened 10 minutes ago, and now im uploading it with my story of a near heart attack experience.
i guess the moral of the story is use a real tripod if you value your camera
The DIY shutter release really does the treat!!
This shot was 2220" (bit less than 40minutes) at F14 and ISO400 with the white balance set to auto and the focus on manual - it didn't shot with the auto focus but I didn't change anything really!
This made me realise that i didn't really need a focus switch and might get rid of it to avoid possible short circuits...
Anyway just a test... still need to get the different settings in balance and find something a bit more interesting to shoot... =D
This is what the switch looks like where it plugins into the case. The switch is enclosed in a plastic holder in my case.
I bought 2 disposable film camera this day, limited edition made specifically for ComicCon, for only $1.99ea. I'd say that's a deal. School was ultimately uneventful.
might delete/change this later.

Shutter release sound, a great sound. Not sure how this one sounds as it hasn't worked since I got it, a sad story.
I had seen Chickadees landing on a limb I'd pruned last fall before they'd fly over to the feeder hanging from a pine limb near our house. They wouldn't land there when I was close enough for a clear shot, so I set up a tripod and used a remote-controlled shutter release, viewing the location from a distance through binoculars. I'd focused the lens manually for what I hoped was an optimal shot, and then turned off auto-focus. It took awhile, but one of them finally played along with my silly human game.

This image has been on the cards for some time now and tonight I gave up my laziness and took the picture. I used a bedside lamp to light the subject (40D)

If you have a motherboard inside the case, the power cable usually plugs in with a bunch of other plugs near the bottom corner.

Remote Shutter Release for Canon Powershot, built by my dad for me to use with my helmet cam! He used these instructions for the hack, & I'll download this firmware to use with it. Blogged.
Super easy to make... but since I didn't have a soldering iron or wire at home, I ended up spending a lot more money than if I had just bought one... Next step is to just make one with a 1/8" jack and buy a 1/8" male - 3/32" male adapter and then just use one of the many 1/8" audio extension cords I have.
Got my new stuff in today for my Canon Rebel XTi. I got a Gorillapod, a Shutter Release, and a Battery Grip.
Still bored this evening... just finished a paper on endochondral ossification... need to photograph something. This is my remote cable shutter release for my Canon SLR and DSLR. The light was bad so I used a ridiculously long exposure.
The shutter release button of my wife's D50 makes an interesting subject for today's photo challenge.
