    Does anyone use a wireless remote to include themselves in the picture? If so, do you have any tips on placing yourself in the correct position once the camera is setup? I often fish alone and would like to be able to get some “lifestyle” shots while I am out.

    Self portraits with wireless remotes are tricky.

    I’ve seen a few cameras come with a wireless remote, about the size of a usb flash drive, that inserts into the camera body.

    Are there other types that one can get if their camera did not come with a remote?

    What about an itunes app? I have one to control my itunes anywhere in my house, a camera one would be cool too. If you can start a car and turn on your house lights with the iphone, why not a camera too.

    Rob,

    I think most DSLR’s have a way to be triggered with a wireless remote. I had a Nikon D70 and now have the D80 that can be triggered with the Nikon ML-L3 wireless remote. The ML-L3 is infrared, so it has to be within the line of site of the camera. I am looking on ebay at a RF (radio frequency) remote for my D300. With RF I should be able to shoot through a vest pocket, trees, etc… The RF remote also has a range of 300′, the infrared ML-L3 had a range of about 15′.

    Google “wireless remote” and your camera name and you should come up with something. There may also be apps out there for cameras that can be fired with infrared. I once had a program for my Palm that would trigger my D70.

    Thanks for the feedback Neal and Eric.

    It’s going to be a little tricky hanging that teddy bear over the middle of the river. ;D

    How about waiting for the next drift boat to come by and saying, “Hey dude, I’ve got a cold PBR in cooler here if you’ll snap this grip-n-grin shot for me!”

    Just go fishing with Corey Kruitbosch. He rocks! Problem solved.

    Who knows, you may end up on the cover of a fishing magazine. ::)

    I have not used one for fishing shots.

    I bought a $20 (shipping included) remote off eBay.
