Ex's...

Keeping a check on how ex-students are doing after they leave is never easy given that they come from all over the UK to study here at Bradford but nevertheless, here's a list of links pointing their way ! http://www.floydphotography.co.uk/ http://www.howardguest.co.uk/ http://www.impressions-gallery.com/news/news.php?id=22 http://www.midyorks.nhs.uk/Our+services/Who+are+the+photographers.htm http://www.yanpreston.com/#/cv/4536373669 http://www.powerhousephoto.co.uk/creative-photography/portfolio/kev-hiscoe

Under Construction...

The annual Yr1 show is finally nailed to the wall and looking good ! Over 60 cracking images from a wide variety of disciplines makes this a very strong show. Congrats to everyone who has worked hard to make this show happen ! Many thanks to the sponsors and here's to raising lots of cash for Marie Curie Cancer Care through print sales....

6v SLA battery pack for Nikon SB-28

Fed up of rechargeable batteries ? AA’s costing a fortune ? Well, you could make your own battery pack which will give you over 500 pops with one charge, and recycle almost instantly ! Basically, its a 6v Sealed Lead Acid Battery housed in a Maplin’s project box. Its fitted with a fuse, an on/off switch and a locking connector and has lugs on the side for a strap. Down the left-hand side, there is a connector for recharging the SLA. The connector is a 2-pin screw-lock jobbie and connects to the flash via a sync cable attached to 2 dummy batteries with a notch cut into the battery door to allow for the cable. If you fancy a go at it, check out these guys first, they are brilliant, and a mine of information. Full credit to them for taking time to break it down into easy steps….. A word of warning though, if you get the polarity of the battery/ dummy batteries the wrong way around, your flash will be fried instantly and will never work again ! http://www.blogger.com/janchristianphoto.com/blog/2010/05/diy-sla-battery-pack-f… http://www.blogger.com/johnmilleker.com/weblog/?p=72 http://www.blogger.com/photo.net/photography-lighting-equipment-techniques-forum…" http://www.blogger.com/www.flickr.com/photos/joeharper/5242436387"
