Canon shooters need an upgrade?

I'll forgive my friend Max for his choice as a Canon shooter, but only because he's selling some equipment. Those of you looking for some awesome fucking gifts for the photographers in their life (who sadly shoot with Canon) should look no further than this.


The EOS 20D is the semi-professional digital SLR to deliver all the speed, precision and flexibility synonymous with high-end film SLR cameras - plus a whole lot more.A rugged magnesium alloy body provides the first clue that the EOS 20D is no ordinary camera. Canon's award-winning CMOS technology delivers outstanding image quality and 8.2 Megapixel resolution. The DIGIC II architecture drives blistering 5fps continuous shooting with a maximum burst of 23 frame JPEG images, class-leading color rendition accuracy, quick start-up times and rapid display and zooming of images during in-camera review. JPEG and RAW files write simultaneously with no loss of performance.9 auto focus points are carefully distributed across a wide area of the frame for fast, accurate focusing, even with off-center subjects and particularly with 'rule-of-thirds' compositions.The E-TTL distance-linked flash algorithm takes factors such as lens distance information and ambient light readings into account for accurate flash metering, even in circumstances such as recomposed shots, or where high or low reflective objects appear in the frame. The camera is compatible with the entire EX-series Speedlite flash range. This includes the 580EX, which transmits color temperature information for improved color stability and auto zooms to match the camera's APS-C sensor size.The EOS 20D is compatible with more than 60 Canon EF lenses, including Canon's EF-S lenses. Built with the EOS 20D photographer in mind, the EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM and EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM cover popular wide (approx. 16-35mm) and standard (approx. 27-136mm) ranges in the 35mm equivalent.An extreme high (3200 ISO) setting extends the camera's wide 100-1600 ISO speed range. Both sRGB and Adobe RGB color spaces are supported. Digital Photo Professional image processing software permits high-speed processing of lossless RAW files.The EOS 20D's USB 2.0 Hi-Speed connection enables fast download of images to the computer. PictBridge compliant, the camera supports direct printing to any compatible photo printer. It takes both CF and CF-II cards, including cards of over 2GB capacity.


I am cleaning out a lot of my excess photo gear. I recently closed my studio location and have items that I just don't have a need for.

Up for auction is:

    • Canon 300mm F4.0 L series non-is telephoto lens with front and rear caps.
    • This is a used lens and does have signs of wear and use as might be expected. All is in working order. Glass is clean, no fungus or marks on the glass.
    • Sample images were taken very recently in a hockey rink, hand held at iso3200 - F4 1/250. This is a VERY sharp lens! Fast Focusing!
    • Be sure to ask questions before bidding!

And a picture, so that you've got some eye candy...

A couple of weeks ago, while shooting some portraits for my boyfriend, we happened upon a really interesting guy who I just had to follow. He was carrying what looked like part of a candelabra so we decided to check out what was going on. He was joined by three of his friends and one of them just happened to be sticking balls of fire in his mouth!

Kickass!, I thought. I asked him to do it again so I could shoot from the best angle. And he did! Turned out they were from the group Burn Buffalo.


This is Robert. He eats fire. How effin' cool is that?


Doktor Potter Dee, the cruise director of the four.


The Good Wizard Time, who almost made me weak in the knees.


And this lady is Kindal. She is impressive as hell if anyone ever gets to checkout a Burn Buffalo practice or event.

You can check them out here on Facebook.
