The range on the ML-元 is 16 feet from remote to camera, and the range on the ML-3 is 26 feet from remote to camera. In this case, you can use either the ML-元 or ML-3 remotes, which use Infrared (line of sight) to trigger the camera. Odds are, if you could have run quick enough to get into the scene by the time the self-timer went off, then the camera is in direct line of sight of your subjects. If running into the scene isn’t for you, don’t worry you’ve got plenty of other choices.
Then you just have to quickly get into place before the self-timer trips the shutter. Set the camera on a tripod, frame up the shot and set the self-timer.

(Compatible with many Nikon cameras, check your User's manual to see if your camera can use this system.) Use the Wireless Remote Controller System (WR-R10, WR-T10, WR-1, WR-A10), which uses radio frequencies (not a line of sight system) to trigger the shutter.
This is also a line of sight option, using Infrared to communicate with the camera. Use the ML-元 remote to trigger the shutter. Use the ML-3 Modulite remote control set, which uses Infrared (line of sight) to trigger the camera. This tethers you to the camera, but, depending upon the length of the cord, you can be anywhere from 1 - 12 feet from the camera when you take the shot. Use a cable release or remote cord such as the 10-pin connector type MC-30/MC-30A or MC-36/MC-36A or the MC-DC2 remote cord, which utilizes the accessory terminal on select cameras.
