Trying to shoot some birds at our three different bird-feeders we have at our house. So to help, we purchased a Remote shutter release for an Nikon D-90. Works great, but the cord length is very short, about 3', and right now have the camera on a tripod, by a living room window, with the shutter release passing through it so we can fire it from inside the house. We would like to purchase an 'extender' for it. To lengthen its reach! The local camera store, knows of nothing available, and have no idea of what to call it, so as to even look for one on the internet.
Have no experience with digital, so are these even available? .
Thanks for any help..
Background:
Borrowed a Nikon D-90 back in 2016, from my brother in law, as we were doing some volunteer work in Texas, and needed something simple to use so we could take some shots and e-mail it for discussion over the internet, on a project that a group we belong to, was doing down there. Worked great for that! .Returned home, but he wouldn't take it back, and stated with a smile,... .. "Keep it and use it!"
Ha.. Had a friend help me set it up for B&W, set to manual, with the thought, might try to use it as a precursor for sunrise and sunset shots in getting a better exposure setting, before taking a film shot. Like Polaroid was used in the past, when shooting LF.for different difficult scenes, to help get a correct exposure. But alas, dragging another camera around, just didn't pan out, so it never got used.
Then my son and daughter in law came for a visit, recently, but she had forgotten to bring her camera! Soooo we dug out the old D-90, that we never use, and let her have a go with it. They left, and was messing around with it in the living room, and took a shot of a dove in the bird feeder.
Oh.. my.. never tried to shoot birds with film, as they are what they are, and I'm sure those who do, .. shoot birds with film, go through roll after roll.trying to get a descent shot. But have had a lot of fun with it, and thus the title to this post.
