A camera in a remote location
Wireless Photography brings together the medium's creative and technical aspects. This is not a simple task, you must first understand the basics of photography and your equipment. Cameras and wireless shutters can be expensive, and there are always new products entering the market, so it is best to shop around first. You don't need to blow your mortgage payments to go remote. There are also different types of transceivers. Some are infrared, these require line of sight with the camera. Others are radio based and have set working distances. Most brands have a dedicated shutter too.
Instructions
Start to Finish
1. Take one transceiver and attach it to the hot shoe on top of the camera. Set both transceivers to the same radio channel, if there are multiple choices.
2. A camera attached to a tripod.
Attach camera to the tripod or gorillapod by screwing it into the bottom of the camera. Move on to Step 3 if you are not using a tripod.
3. Turn on the camera, followed by both transceivers. Test the shutter release by pressing the button on the off-camera transceiver. Ensure a clear line of sight from the camera to shutter release.
4. Remote locations to place camera
Place the camera in remote location. Secure the camera, either using the tripod or to a nearby object using ball bungees. Look through the eyepiece to set composition. If you are outdoors and rain is likely, place a protective cover such as a plastic bag around the camera.
5. Get close to wild animals with remote shutter release.
Travel allocated distance from camera and press the transceiver when ready. Camera will photograph remotely.
