[Sold] Buy my Canon 400D + 17-85mm IS USM + Bag

Well kept Canon 400D. Treated well. Ideal for someone wanting to start out in photography.

Included: 17-85 f/4-5.6 IS USM lens. Superfast near silent focus. Image stablisation is amazing. I have had sharp images at 85mm at 1/10s shutter speed.

Lens Hood. This has some scuffs on it. It does its job, that is, protecting the lens!

UV filter. No scratches or marks.

1GB Compact Flash card allowing for about 215 jpegs at full resolution, or about 100 shots in RAW.

Canon camera strap.

Camera bag.

Second battery.

Rear lens and body cap.

The flash was never really used and consequently is a bit sticky. That is, when you press the button to pop the flash up, you also need to pull the flash up with your fingers.

Very reasonable price of $450 + postage.

Pickup is welcome. Either in the Melbourne city, or I could potentially drop it off?

The full Moon again. 9/2/12. I didn't see it behind me all the way home. I glimpsed it when I turn into my street and it took my breath away.

I raced inside and in a flurry collected the camera and tripod and climbed up onto the roof. This is a representation of what I saw. That is, a combination of a long exposure for cloud detail and short exposure for moon detail.

The intention was to subtly blend the two images so that you can see the Man in the Moon on this cloudy moon lit night.

Not long to go now.

More Mosaics from Julee Latimer

On Monday I went out on location with Julee Latimer. Her commissioned work that she completed mid way through the year had finished being installed and needed documenting.

It was very exciting. I had seen the works in progress, but not the final creation.

We walked in and they were all there looking absolutely stunning. We are going to go back when everything in the house is sorted to photograph the other butterflies. I am really looking forward to this.

More in Black and White

I am currently going through a pretty heavy black and white phase right now. I am enjoying the look of these processed images quite a lot. When I get time, I have been going back and looking at some of my older images and re-processing them.

Altona, again showing off in the sunset

We had a gorgeous Saturday here in Melbourne, Australia. One that makes you go outside, sit back, relax and simply enjoy life.

It was a bit too hot to go to the beach in the middle of the day. We went in the late afternoon. And, as usual, Altona beach was simply stunning.

I would say that this is the perfect beach for young families. The water is shallow. The water is warm. And everybody is friendly.
