yeh a few of them were using those..

what I did was just used tripod... set timer to 2 seconds.. got the shot in focus and hit the button.. the camera sits still and in 2 seconds takes a perfectly still shot good for long exposures

got some great tips from the guys too.. like when taking pics of sunsets and clouds are in teh shot and its orange/red/pinks and stuff shot using the setting with the clouds/cloudy as it really pops out the colours in the clouds and sunsets

cant wait!!
