For Sale – Canon 7D and Gear

Chaps and chapesses,

I’m planning a trip and want to sell my Canon 7D with my lenses, Manfrotto tripod, CF cards, wireless release, etc. I want to buy a Fuji X100 for my trip and the sale is purely to fund that purchase and a Mac Book Air. I need to sell all of the kit together or sell all of the lenses except the 17-40mm L so that I can still take the 7D with me if I cannot sell the lot as a package.

Makes sense? If so, here are the details:

Canon 7D body
Canon 50mm 1.8
Sigma 10-20mm wide angle
Canon L 17-40mm 4.0
Canon 28-135mm 3.5
Canon 70-300mm 4.0-5.6
Manfrotto steel tripod with 3-way head
3 x San Disk 4gb CF cards
Canon RC-6 wireless remote release.

At today’s Jessop’s prices, this lot totals at £3312.54.

Yours for £1900 with my camera bag thrown in. Lenses and body have original boxes and all kit is in very good condition.

I understand that one can buy cheaper than Jessops – it’s for illustration only.

Interested? Drop me a line at colinjparte@gmail.com – can deliver within NI and maybe as far as Dublin 🙂

Day Off Up North

I decided to take advantage of my extra day off this week to head north to Ballycastle, Ballintoy and Port Ballantrae to take a few snaps. I was blessed with some reasonable light and made my first stop in Ballycastle around 11:15. I’ve only ever been there once or twice before. Although it is fairly deserted at this time of year, I was made to feel welcome with numerous greetings from the locals. After coffee and a scone at Boyles, I headed off round the coast towards Ballintoy and crossed the Carrick-A-Rede rope bridge for the first time! The steps back up the hill seemed more daunting than the bridge itself. Stopping for numerous “photo breaks”, I finally reached the car park and drove to Port Ballantrae for lunch at the Bayview Hotel. Scrumptious scampi and chunky chips!

Overall, I was very taken with that part of our shoreline. I’ll be back.

I Wish…

This is a beautiful photograph taken by Flickr member, Wiggum03.

I find that Tumbler, Flickr and a couple of other sites continually amaze me with the range of excellent pictures and fascinating subjects which inspire me to greater lengths with my photography. I wish I had the skills to take a few like this one. Must try harder!
