Switchable Battery Pack
In order to continue taking long exposure photographs I have had to create a battery pack that I can actually switch off. The SLR camera that I kind of inherited is an Olympus OM40 and it has some serious problem in the electronics where it chewes through the batteries. So instead of taking them in and out all the time I whipped the up the ugly creation below. It seemed to work very well when taking shots of the fireworks last night on the banks of the Yarra.
