Anything to make it unique? Like a sticker from the store, or the ID number, or accessories?

In solidarity...

Wow, nice photo.

"Tanker" s/b ship or container ship.

Believe the street price will be $1300.

Yes, the 40D will be a much better choice for most people, unless they really value being able to get the most out of bright wide-angle lenses and/or specialty lenses (such as a 15mm fish-eye or 24mm tilt-shift).

An SE is no different from an fd, basically. Possible difference in finish - gun metal vs. silver.

Looks like a great little cam.

High-larious.

Videos appear to have been disappeared.

Re: Bloggers Divided Over Lane Hartwell Photography Issue

If that is the entire defense -- the video is a parody so we can use any photo we want under fair use -- then the singing group doesn't really have a defense.

On the other hand, if you posted the snapshot to ridicule it (not sure how one would do that) or to illustrate a point about how to adjust white balance or fix chromatic aberation, that would be a different story. You'd have at least an good argument that your use was fair. Which side would win? That would depend on a host of details.

The singing group and the shutterbug might be having a symbiotic relationship going, whether they realize it or not.

Re: $99,000 Canon 1200mm f/5.6L EF USM Super Telephoto Lens

No mention of the tripod, which should be included.

$550 for UPS ground delivery. That's negotiable. As is the price for the lens itself. Still available.

A 600mm IS 4.0 with a 2x extender and/or a 800mm 5.6 IS might be preferable alternatives.

Thank the European Union for the discontinuation of this lens. Not enough demand to make Canon convert to lead-free glass.

All the videos get taken down after an hour or so of being posted. They are all the same with a complaint about Anonymous and then the outing of an alleged member.

The jpg at the bottom of this page tells the story.

MJ is innocent ? News to me.

Here are some recent daytime photos from the air that show NL in a state of disrepair.

Highly unlikely to have so much street parking available on both sides of the street at any time of the day or night.

Imagine the Indy character got paid, had worker's comp, insurance, etc.
