Following on from Part One of my 'make a longer flash extension lead' project I today committed myself to Part Two, by taking the not particularly cheap Canon extension lead and a pair of wire-cutters. That, I thought, as I contemplated the two halves of the lead, could be a very expensive snip if this doesn't work.
( We will cut it up and solder it back together again )
I'll admit to being quite pleased that this all works. Despite all my engineering qualifications I do tend to regard myself as quite ham-fisted when it comes to practical stuff. I've decided to try more build-it-yourself projects as a way to get over this and encourage myself into making actual things rather than just playing around with a computer. Of course, after this project I now get to take more pictures and play around on a computer with those.
