Re: Photography Thread
My Dad died 25 years ago this month, and every year or so I will stumble upon something in the vast collection
of miscellaneous crap I inherited from him. It has been a struggle, carrying all of this junk with me in my 10
or so moves over that time, and a lot of it has gotten tossed prior to one move or another. But he liked to putter
around Salvation Army and Amvets on the weekends, and he picked up all KINDS of 5hit. Last week I got the D100
in and noticed that it had a screw in port on the shutter release for a manual shutter plunger so you could remote
trigger without using the timer. I remembered something in one of the drawers in one of the chests of his stuff,
I always thought it was a kind of tight-space-whatzit-grabber, but I thought, OHHH, it might be a remote trigger.
Sure enough, it screwed right in and pre-meters/focuses and shoots with it just fine. Shame I had to spend so
much money to USE IT, but what the hell...I miss him.
