Caution: Construction Zone

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

Just a headsup to everyone out there that things make look funky around here for a few days…we’re going to be giving the blog a makeover. :)  In the meantime, check out the spanky new updated website for some fresh new faces & new music.  I spent last weekend working on it and I’m pleased with how it reflects me and my style of photography.

So, this week will be the blog facelift, and the senior site revamp is coming up soon too!

Oh, as an aside….my computer totally bit the dust last night so until the new one gets here, orders and Sneak Peeks may be delayed a bit.  So sorry for the inconvenience!

Have a great weekend!

Cleaning House – Some Canon Gear for sale

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

I’m clearing out some of my gear and thought I’d put it up for sale here.

I’m attaching pictures/descriptions for almost everything, but if you have any questions, feel free to email me at: info@tamminowackphotography(dot)com

If you pay by paypal, you’ll have to cover the 3% fee. Serious inquiries only please. :)

Items for sale:

1. Canon 5D with battery grip, 3 batteries, & charger.

2. Lens baby and with multiple accessories

3. Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L series lense

4. Canon 420ex TTL flash

5. Promaster AF70-300mm f/4-5.6 1:2Macro Zoom lens SOLD

6. Sekonic Light Meter

7. Polarizing Filter SOLD

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

Hey everyone, I’m BACK! Didja miss me?

I had a great time over the holidays, relaxing with  my family and recharging for 2010!  If you’ve called or emailed me over the last 3 weeks, please be advised that my inbox and voicemail box are SLAMMED and I will be returning messages for the next couple of days. So please hang in there just a little bit longer and we’ll be setting up appointments and bridal consults and sessions in no time at all!

So let’s start things out right with a blog post, shall we?

Enjoy this Sneak Peek of Katty & Christian.  Their wedding day dawned bright and….well, RAINY.  And COLD.  But that didn’t dampen their spirits one bit.  They had a beautiful Christmasy wedding and threw one heck of a party after!  Enjoy your Sneak Peek guys — thanks for inviting us to be a part of your day and thanks for your patience over the last couple weeks! :)

More posts to come soon!
