Remote shutter release

I took a few minutes to play with my remote shutter release (ML-3) for the D100, today. I just set up the camera, with the 80-400mm VR, and pointed it at the thistle sock. Then, I went in the house and waited for the finches to come back. When they arrived, I was able to trip the shutter (by remote control) from inside the house. It worked pretty well, although the range is pretty limited. Here are a couple of shots. This one is an American Goldfinch...

... and this one is a House Finch. I usually don't see house finches on the thistle sock, but this one posed for a few seconds. They seem to prefer the bigger seed feeder.
Cheers,
Tyler
