Gadgets . . . Photography gadgets to be specific

Gadget - n. A small specialized mechanical or electronic device; a contrivance.

Most of you know about my interest in photography, as I have post many pictures on the board. I love taking the photographs, I love the editing of the photographs, in short I love photography. I have always tried to have the best equipment that I could afford, and had the technical skills to use. I currently own two digital cameras, both are Panasonic Lumix. I use them for different purposes and in different circumstances. My big camera is a DMC FZ30, which I use for shots that I can "construct." My small camera is a DMC LZ7, which is more user friendly as a camera for the more "candid" shots.

For quite sometime now I have wanted to add additional accessories to my FZ30. A lot of the photography that I do with this camera is shot from long range at high magnification. I have taken photographs from as far away as five miles. Any movement of the camera body under these circumstances results in some degree of blurring in the photo. To limit this I almost always use a tripod. Now I want to limit movement even further so I have ordered a remote shutter control:

Now once I have the shot framed and focused I will be able to take the shot "hands free" of the camera, eliminating any chance of accidently jerking the camera when depressing the shutter button. This will become even more important when I get my next accessory:

20.4x zoom, I can't wait. To quote MacUser, "ZOWIE!!!"
