I have taken a series of HDR shots today using my 1D X and 24-105L lens. I have also used a tripod and the camera is set to auto bracketing (5 exposures). In just about every series of shots the very first picture has camera shake and the other 4 exposures are sharp. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem before and if it is possibly the Image Stabalizing motor causing the shake? What is strange is that it is for instance a 3 sec exposure that is shaky but the longer exposures are perfect... This is very confusing!

Uhhh.... Isn't the shutter release button supposed to be pressed? ;D Sorry I know what you mean and I am not using a cable release, but I press the button exactly the same way with all 5 exposures and it is always only the first exposure that shows camera shake. I will experiment a bit more but I do recall I had some issues with sharpness before using the camera on a tripod with IS switched on.

So indeed,
1- Do not use the IS when on tripod
2- Use shutter release with a delay (2 seconds or 10 seconds )
let us know how it goes
have a good one.

It is indeed the Image Stabalizing! I tested some more images today and when the image stabalising is switched off, the first frame is fine, but when it is on, I get camera shake... I know this sounds like exactly the opposite of what should be working, but it seems the IS doesn't like it when the lens is beign held still by a tripod ;D
It also looks like it is happening more in the f18-f22 range and when the camera is slightly tilted upwards. Looks like the Image Stabalizer kicks in for a second to see if it should stabalise and the vibrations causes the camera shake.
Thanks for the input

Pfffff... a lot of useless posts, Nobody knows everything, ok?? :
Some tips for hdr or tripod shooting:
- Almost all the lenses induces movement when used on tripod, as a rule of thumb, when you use the tripod, switch the IS Off
- Use a remote shutter, cable or wireless
- If you don't have a remote shutter, use a 2 sec delay shutter
- Its useful to use mirror lockup to eliminate the mirror shaking when taking the picture
Good luck

For my humble TI1, I use mirror lockup + tripod + remote shutter or 2s timer shutter release to make everything as stable as possible when doing long shutter photography. I also use my heavier tripod for this. I don't know if I can teach you much because I'm just a rebel user.

Silent mode at least on the 5D3 also helps with the camera shake on a tripod.
