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

@eleven38 You dont need to use a dslr to purposely make those kinds of picture mostly you need to have a camera where you are able to set all the settings manually, even with a pocket camera you can do it. However you need to make sure you can set the settings to manual and set the shutterspeed to be really slow like 1 or event 3 seconds or even more.

This worked for me with my Vado, unfortunately I can't change the focus screen with the SLR camera I got.

Great idea!
