Camera shutter release with screwdriver

[eleven38]

Hi all, hope you can help. Im keen to take long exposure photos, like light trails, car lights at night, you know the pics i mean?

I know digital slr camera's are way expensive! Is there a simple cheap, and i mean cheap normal old style film camera that can do this, or with the help of a release cable?

I dont really know if these release cables work on all old film camera's??

Any advice is much appreciated

thanks

ian

Google for Canon's TC-80N3 or Nikon's MC36 or thrid party brand timer remote controllers. Any dedicated film camera will be really cheap and, with proper care, a trustworthy friend. There are great videos here in YouTube about night photography and I do recomend Lance Keimig's "night PHOTOGRAPHY" book. You simply can't go wrong. Happy shooting.
