Testing HTML for E-bay listing

Photo Light Studio set up – 2 flash heads with case, and all accessories.

2 flash heads – (similar to Courtney / Bowens) The stronger has an output of 175 joules, the other has 115 joules. Both fire with a flash temperature of 5500k.
Each unit comes with stand, mains lead, reflector, protective lamp cap and white brolly. Full instructions for both units supplied.

Kit comes complete with carrying case for convenient travelling to on-site locations, and for easy storage. Also included are synch leads, a snoot – (for directional lighting.)

I am also offering a superb Shepherd Flash Meter under a separate listing – (You may already own a flash meter. If not, it is STRONGLY recommended to use one with this type of flash set up)


These were bought by myself new several years ago, whilst working in photographic retail. Trade price was about £500, Suggested retail I seem to recall was in the region of £750 - £800

I have sold off the majority of my non-digital photography equipment, and am now only using a digital compact camera which is not suitable for use with studio lighting, hence this sale.

The IMAGES below

The images below are partial instructions and specification sheets for the two units. If you cannot see any of the images, or require any further information please do not hesitate in contacting me. Also, if you are local to the Newbury or Basingstoke area, and would like to see these units, please contact me to arrange –

(I will NOT offer a buy it now price, but am starting the bidding off with a very low price, and NO reserve.)

- If these end at less than £400, you will have bought an absolute bargain!

I HATE DIY with a Passion - (BEWARE of toilet mouth syndrome!)

Yes. I really do. I hate, hate, hate DIY with the sort of passion, that is as strong as my equally passionate love for old records. anybody that knows me, knows that is pretty strong.

I dislike putting up shelves, building units and re-directing electrical stuff. I HATE messing about with pipes, and drains and anything else that is likely to (which invariably means WILL) make a bloody horrible mess if I get it ever so slightly wrong. This also usually means that the job entails getting somebody else in to 1 - Sort out the original job, and 2 - repair any damage caused by my initial efforts!

So - It was with some distress, that I was met with the words from Mrs Jayster "I would like to change the front room - I want to get rid of all the old skirting boards and put in new ones."

SHIT! - It looks like an easy job, but I've got a nasty feeling it will be far more difficult to get a decent result. This was partially confirmed by my father in-law, who leant me a mitre saw and said it was, a bit tricky! - And that coming from a very good builder!

The old skirting was built in at the time of the house build in the 1950's, and held in place with huge, square nails - Yes they were an absolute bastard to get out, and insisted on bringing out huge chunks of the wall as well. Good start!

Surprisingly, I didn't find cutting the corners that difficult, and only made a couple of minor mistakes on smaller sections, which I was able to rectify with virtually no wastage - Hurrah!

I ended the first days work by sticking up 2 sections with Grip & Fill and a couple of small nails. The corners were not perfect, but not bad either. Mrs J was surprised that it had taken me so long to stick them in place, but happy when she realised that I had actually cut to shape and size all the other skirting boards

THEN..... Mrs Jayster suggested that while I get on and make the box section that covers the pipework, she would stick the other normal boards in place.

Now. If I thought that getting the skirting boards right was a bit of a bastard, it was nothing compared to the cunty cunt cunt of a job that making the box section was going to be. for one thing it is the longest wall, so my lengths of wood were too long to fit in my designated wood cutting room I also had to contend with cutting holes in exactly the right place to get the radiator pipes through, then cutting the hole in half to fit the pieces together, and similar cut outs for TV ariel and power leads.

Isn't the advancement of technology wonderful?????

Because Blogger has been upgraded, improved and all that other jargon,. I NOW have to log on twice, and cannot leave comments on other artists work from Illustration Friday.

YES I AM PISSED OFF!!!!!!!
