Re: outdoor photos captured remotely - advise?

Minolta XD-series camera are similar in that power is always there,
just touch the shutter release (not pressing to trigger it). To solve
the problem is that you need to have a camera with a save and wake up
modes or with a longlife on mode. Some video cameras have this for
remote applications such as a movement sensor which triggers the camera
record mode. Wildlife photographers use this along with some other
field applications. The USGS used this to record glacial outburst
floods triggered by sensors attached to rocks which are moved during
floods. If a digital camera can stay on for a long time (weeks) then a
intervalometer will work to trigger it. Pocket Wizards have a range of
seconds to days between trigger events. The last question is simply the
installation to weather and critter proof it. A good NEMA enclosure
would do that. Human proofing it is another matter.
