What Remains?


I meant to post this earlier, but somehow I forgot. It's a portrait of photographer Jean-Michel Komarnicki at the opening of his exhibit "What Remains?" at the Kent Farndale Gallery in Port Perry. His show ran through the month of February. Can you guess which lens was used? You got it. 85!

PC Hotshoe to MiniPhono Hotshoe Conversion for PocketWizards


A step by step guide to making your own PocketWizard cable. If you can find a hotshoe with a cable in the used bin at a camera store, this whole operation should cost you under $10. If you buy everything new, it will cost you $20. It's still cheaper then buying a MiniPhone hotshoe cable which retail starting at around $40.

What you need: Small soldering iron (10$), electrical solder ($3), sharp knife (exacto, box cutter, razor etc), PC to Hotshoe adapte cable (or any hotshoe with a cable $0-$20), 1/8 inch x 1/2 inch phone/miniphono plug ($2).

Editors note: I've never soldered anything before, so if I can do this, anyone can :)

Special thanks to Lyle Aspinall, who gave me these directions about a year ago.

Happy tinkering!
