After a bit of checking, it seems that the newer versions of the Vivitar 283 have a trigger voltage of around 9 volts. So I went back to the charity shop and they had reduced the price to £1.00, so I snapped that up. On getting it home I checked the voltage and it was a nice safe 8.5 volts. A...

Found two flashguns in a local charity shop. Jessops 360 AFDN and a Vivitar 3500, £7.00 for the pair. Both working 100% as they should. There was a Vivitar 283 in the shop too, priced at £4.00, but Botzilla said the trigger voltage was way too high for a digital camera so I passed on that one.

I took this shot in February 2005, the national cross country champs at Cofton Park, Birmingham. I took the shot of Mark Whitmore, who ran for my club. Charnwood A.C. I looked at this image again recently when going through some old stuff and noticed the runner in the red shorts from Burton...

Last month I uploaded a few of my images to Pixsy, mainly to see how it worked. One of my images produced 30 matches across 7 countries. I am not bothered about getting money for this, I am more concerned about the image being used without my permission and more concerned about the type of site...

I was assisting the commentator at the Loughborough Students open meet on Wednesday, great evening of athletics, but unfortunately the gantry does not provide the best viewpoint. Hoping to get trackside for the next one.

Many years ago this was an independent camera shop. I got my first SLR there, a Zenit E, closely followed by a Nikon EM and then a Nikon FM. Sadly missed.
