BATTERY PHOTOGRAPHY MASTERCLASS #3: Panasonic Low Power, Aerocell and Panasonic TOP SECRET

Here's some filler material for a slow news day, provided by battery photographer par excellence Lee. He's under-selling his latest batch of shots by a rather wide margin - they're pro quality!



"Here are a few more battery photos. They're a bit rubbish so at best they'll be filler material on a slow news day.

"First up - Panasonic Low Power - rubbish battery, but at least it doesn't lie and pretend to be "super extra industrial power". I found it in a pound shop. They came in packs of four and were clearly labelled £1. Imagine my delight when the hag at the till only charged me 79p. Bargain! I've put the 21p "profit" toward the next pack."



"Aerocell: they're nearly light as air, and about as efficient at powering electrical gadgets. I discovered them inside a miniature Christmas tree with unreliable and headache inducing fibre optic lights. I removed the Aerocells and then destroyed the tree."



"Not for retail trade: Someone in the comments section of the other battery post requested this. That's practically demand, so I feel it my duty to supply. Sorry they're not that great. I don't want to give ammunition to the battery naysayers. I promise to be more creative if I buy a second flashgun - Lee."

Thanks, Lee! They're awesome! Sexy, even. You are the David La Chapelle of the battery photography scene. If you'd told us you'd found these as hi-res CMYK TIFFs in a password-protected part of the manufacturer's press extranet we'd have totally believed you.
