For Sale: Canon 5D

It’s with great trepidation and sadness that I offer my original Canon 5D for sale. This camera is my favorite that I’ve ever owned and it pains me to part with it. But since it sees so little use sitting in my equipment closet, I feel like it would find a better home with someone who was using for the purpose for which it was intended, taking pictures.

For those of you who might be fans of my work, this is the camera that took almost all of the 365 Portraits project. As well as the majority of my editorial work through most of 2008. If you’ve been a cropped sensor shooter up til now, moving to a full-frame sensor will be a treat. More control over depth-of-field, better low-light performance, actual wide-angle lenses, etc.

It’s certainly in used condition, but in that good way that feels like it was part of something great. Otherwise it’s in fine working order. It comes with the original box, the Canon battery charger, an aftermarket travel charger, and three batteries. The markings are covered with gaffer’s tape, but those come off cleanly, showing off all the free advertising Canon could fit.

I’m looking to get $1000 USD for it, plus shipping if it’s international.
Feel free to email me any inquires or questions to bill at billwadman dot com or @billwadman on twitter.

From the Air

Found these in a folder of image from a trip I took two years ago… spurred on by @wachterface’s twitpic from today.

Pinhole Experiments

Take your pinhole camera, add low light and the slow shutter speed it requires, add a sprinkle of camera shake, and serve.

Sometimes it’s fun to go back and play with an old image you never got around to.  This shot was taken when I shot Jes for my 365 Portraits project last year and I bumped into it while flipping through the 60,000 images on my drive.  I’ve got enough raw material (pun intended) to keep me busy for years if I wanted to.  Exercise is good.

Rob

A couple of months ago I got an email from an old professor of mine at Berklee.  Apparently he saw some of the photos I took of Jhumpa Lahiri in the Improper Bostonian and so looked me up.

Anyway, I was in Boston last week with my friend Jonathan who was visiting from LA and so we stopped in to say hello to some of our ex-teacher friends.  Rob is now the chair of the dept though, so he got a portrait taken.  😉

By the way, I ended up bringing my 5D instead of the 1DsIII.  While I love the images it gives, the weight is killing me when traveling.  I can’t wait to get my 5DII when they ship.  I’ve already got my pre-order in at onecall.

Below is a quick portrait I shot of Rob while I was there.
