I'm in desperate need of a remote control for my camera since I mostly use it for fashion shoots and filming. It would make everything go so smoothly if I didn't have to run back and forth from my camera to my backdrop :P
Thanks so much for the contest!
P.S. Your photos are gorgeous! I love the portraits that you do :)
Was the remote release the IR kind that works directly with the camera, and didn't need anything plugged into the camera? Like this?
If so, that may explain why it worked in bulb mode that way. Canon doesn't expect you to aim the IR remote at the camera for 5 minutes to do a 5 minute exposure. The camera knows you're using an IR remote, and acts accordingly. I'm just guessing, though.
On the other hand, a release that plugs into the side of the camera will have a built-in way to hold down the button, and Canon makes that kind of release work just like the shutter button.
