CAMERA EQUIPMENT FOR SALE

I grew up on Film Cameras (from the 70's) and was very happy with them until PROGRESS/CHANGE reared it's Ugly/Necessary head and changed things for ever!!
I've been holding on these Cameras as long as I could, but now, I really have to pass them on to another Home!
I will NOT be handling the sale but have passed it on to Photographic Wholesalers at 47 Hutt Street in Adelaide, South Australia.
ALL items are on display in their Store.
Here is the link to the page where they are for sale HERE. They are at the Top of the 'Other' section.

They are split into 4 sections-
From the top Left, Bronica ETRS KIT with '4' Lenses-50/75/150/200mm & AE II Prism Finder (Metered), 2-120 Film Backs and Hand Grip/Winder and instruction booklet. It produces 15 lovely 6x4.5cm images/ roll. For Only $800.00 AUD-Great value. SOLD.
Top Right, Bronica ETRS KIT w/75mm Lens, Non metered eye level viewfinder & 2-120 Film Backs and Hand Grip/Winder. Another great bargain at $200.00 AUD
Bottom Left, Fuji 690GSW III, Fixed Wide angle lens-65mm and only had 21 rolls of Film through. Boxed with instruction booklet. It produces stunning images on the Lightbox. A Steal at $850.00 AUD SOLD.
And now the Piece de Resistance, my Favourite Film Camera ever, the Hasselblad Xpan Mark II w/45mm & 90mm lenses. You can shoot Panoramic [24x60mm-approx] and/or standard size shots on the same Roll of Film at the flick of a switch. All Boxed, comes with centre filter for the 45mm lens and Two Lens Hoods, 2 sets of Batteries, instruction booklet and a few other extras. Daylight Robbery at $2800.00 AUD, SOLD.
Most lenses come with 81A and Polariser Filters attached.
The reason there have only been 21 Rolls of Film put through the Fuji 6x9cm Camera (there is a counter on the Base Plate) is, shortly after I bought it, I also bought the Hasselblad Kit and fell in love with it, I could walk around with it taking hand held shots just about any where with fantastic results.
I would appreciate it if you could settle for the price asked:) as the commission eats into my final payment, thanks,
John.

It's a free competition and is well worth entering.
Congratulations to the Winner.

As of the middle of November 2011, ready to hang Canvas prints, will be available on all images on the site.
While most of them are of a standard format ratio - 1:1.5. some, because of the cropping I have administered to take away unwanted Sky of Fore-ground, will be more of a Panoramic or Squarer size!!
These will Not be printed by me but will be done by a Canvas Printing Company.
As soon as I have MANY Thou$and$ more to play with I will contemplate Getting a larger Printer capable of doing them, until then...
Many thanks,
John.

I thought with the increase in hits over the last couple of weeks, around 1,000 I would treat you to some new images to drool over, so why not treat your self to one of them :) Just have a browse through the various Portfolios that you think might resemble the image?!?

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT

I know that it says 'Landscape and Nature Photography' near the top of the Home page and that was my intention to stick to that original idea, but those of you who know me from my Camera Club days might remember that I always loved to create a lot of my images by adding two or more slides together and copy them with a slide copier and I did very well in Competitions and in Photography Magazines and sold a few as well!!
I had seen a few articles in Photography Magazines and on the internet about Fine Art Smoke Photography and was fascinated by some of the results they had achieved, so I finally got around to trying it myself.
Of course it is hit and miss and you really need a good imagination to see the faces I can but I have complete faith in you.
The photos nave been cleaned up because 'smoke gets in your eyes - (every where)' and it can make the back ground look messy and dirty. Also where I have seen Faces I have emphasised the eyes and some of the features. Several more have been added to the Portfolio as well.

Gone are the days when all I had to do was gather a collection of Slides, sort them on the Light box, label them and post them off for the Picture Library to sort through and either put in a Catalogue or more recent, on their Web site.
These days you have to do every thing your self, well almost. This is where Photium comes to the Rescue to help Computer nerds like my self compete with all the Computer Savvy of you out there.
My first site -STOCKSHOTS4U took me quite a while to get organised but the easier HTML on the site now, has allowed me to get a bit more creative!
Now it's time for the next step and offer you discerning image lovers a chance to place some of my work on the walls of Your Home. It still is a step by step process to get a workable collection on-line and ready to Print but I would rather get it right the first time.
For now have a look what is on offer in the galleries and keep watching this space for new additions.
If you have any questions or requests for specific Images - Keep it Clean Please, just contact me.
Best wishes,
John.
