About a month ago I announced that I would be offering a Basic Photography class, due to the high number of inquiries that I receive from people wanting to gain a better understanding of their camera, or how to improve the quality of their photos.  I had quite a fantastic response on Facebook and on the online survey and I’m happy to announce the details for the class are set and I’m opening up the registration TODAY!

Image Verification Please enter the text from the image: [Refresh Image][What's This?]

Your Passion. Our Script. What is Image Verification ( Captcha )? A security test to determine whether or not the user is human. This will ensure that only human visitors will actually submit the form, and not spamming bots that are browsing the web from site to site and submit spam where they can. It is well known that programmers can do programs for many jobs, including visiting a large amount of sites on the Internet by following links from page to page and collect emails listed on websites, submit contact forms, or even trying to break passwords by trying to login over and over again with computer generated passwords. Fortunately, it is impossible for a non-human ( ex. computer program ) to extract a word or a combination of letters and numbers from an image, if the letters and numbers are not all of the same size and of similar font. This is why, the Image Verification security method ensures that only people actually can submit a form. EmailMeForm Home | Close

1. Canon EOS 5D WITH battery grip $1500 shipped and insured (body only)

I bought this camera from a camera store in Atlanta a little over 2 years ago. Less than 12,000 actuations on it, no dents – it’s in fantastic shape. Minor scuffing on the bottom of the grip and there is a piece of velcro on the bottom, but it can be peeled off.  Comes with 3 batteries (one Canon brand and two generic brand), a generic battery charger (not shown).  I have the box, all the cords, cables, software, neck strap (not shown), etc. No box for the grip but I can just ship it attached.

2. Canon 70-200mm 2.8L Series Lens: $850 shipped

*sigh* My favorite lens.

Note that this lens does NOT have the Image Stabilization.  Bought this about 3 years ago and it’s been my go-to lense ever since.  Smooth, creamy bokeh, mmmmm.   This lens has some definite wear and tear, the biggest thing is that the filter that I had on the front was shattered and broken at a wedding last year when it was given a good bang on the car door.  Thank goodness I had the filter on it because that’s the only thing that saved this lens!  Because of that, the filter ring on the front is dented and won’t come off and the lens cap doesn’t stay on (and I lost it anyway).  This lens is always kept in my padded bag. I usually rubberband a lens cloth over the end to keep dust off the lens.

This lense was serviced and cleaned March 13, 2009 (I have the receipt), but it could probably stand for another cleaning.

All rings are tight and there is very minor scuff marking on the outside. Includes lens hood, end cap and padded lens bag.

These are some pictures i took with the 5D and this lens today to demonstrate how sharp it still is and how smooth the bokeh is.

3. Canon 420EX E-TTL Flash with stand: $160 shipped.

This flash has hardly been used, works great. Sorry, no case for it, but i’ll keep looking.

3. Sekonic L-358 Light Meter with Case: $245 shipped

4.  Like new Lens Baby & Accessories:  I’ve only had these since summer and have only used them about 5 times.

Composer with single glass optic: $245

Includes everything that came with it: soft carrying bag, interchangeable aperture discs and tools.

Double glass optic: $75 (includes plastic case and cleaning cloth

WideAngle TelePhoto: $70

Macro Kit: $30

OR, BUY THE ENTIRE LENSBABY SET FOR: $400

5. Promaster 70-300mmAF f/4-5.6 1:2 Macro TelePhoto Lens: $115 shipped

Minor scuffing, still works great. Includes lens cap and back cover, no case or box.

6. Brand New Tiffen Neutral Density 55mm filter

I’ll ship this to someone for $5 just to get rid of it. I don’t even know where it came from and I’ve never used it. LOL

Is this thing on?

Hey everyone…sorry the blog has been so quiet this week but we’ve been downright SLAMMED and I’ve been nose-to-the-grindstone trying to crank out the proofs and the orders.  Thanks for checking in and keep checking back…I should have a Sneak Peek up tonight or tomorrow morning and after the weekend will hopefully be back to some regular postings!

And since it’s feel weird to write a blog post without a photo, here’s a couple from our outing to the fair last week.
