If I was filming and saw a car at that speed coming straight for me I would be the one doing the zooming - out of the firing line

Where was the guy standing who took the film?

Way to go Andy. Well done. I remember how chuffed I was when I sold my first photo.

Welcome to the forum Leo, and you're certainly living in the right place to practice landscapes. Bob

I was up on Stanage Edge waiting for the sun to go down last winter, and the camera was on a tripod. I was jumping around trying to keep warm with my hands in my pockets and a gust of wind blew my camera and tripod off of the rock and the whole thing fell about 8 feet onto rocks below. There was...

Excellent work.

Hi Malc, and welcome to TP. You know that the forums are going to steal your life don't you? What sort of photography are you interested in?

Rob, that flikr site in your sig, ratsnruins, is that your webite? I tried clicking but it suggested that i might have meant Rats Brains.

Many thanks for your help and research Rob. Somehow I think I will stick with my cable release and gently break it to my daughter that the nasty man in the shop was telling fibs!

Thanks Peach and Rob. I have a plug in remote which works fine but the RC-5 is a radio type, or infared or suchlike. Looking on the sites for RC-5 they all quote 50D as compatible, and the camera shop told her specifically that it would work on my camera.

Would a kind person care to check their instruction book for me (mine seems to have gone walkabout). My daughter bought me a Canon RC-5 remote control. She checked in the shop that it was compatible with my 50D and the instructions with the remote say "set the camera to receive remote control"...
