What you might call a handyman's special or a little fixer-upper.

What do you think?


And at a low west coast price of $500,000. :scared: Buy it now before its gone.....

Absolutely gorgeous pics steve. Hope you're having a wonderful vacation - and relaxing!

Iaink's comment about the digital SLR -- I was just thinking the same thing.

What camera are you using Hangman? Those are really gorgeous photos.

As Butch already said I'm using a Canon Digital Rebel. I'm seriously thinking of selling very soon and getting the latest version the Digital Rebel XTi just released this month by Canon.

If you go to this link you'll see at the bottom of most pictures it says which camera and lens was used also the settings for that photo.

Oh right. I didn't click on the photos before - just looked at the thumbnails. I used to be a real expert at SLR cameras in the olden days. We have a Canon FX in the cupboard. Weighs about 20 lbs. Has an extra lens. It's been there for years and years. Don't know if it's worth anything. We will never use it. I guess I should look for lessons on how to use a digital SLR 'cos I 've forgotten everything I ever knew.

I looked at all your galleries. I love those blue ones taken out at the coast. The ones of the mountains taken from Vancouver Island I assume.

My old boss had one of those metal bodied Canons. Went to Paris. On the Metro a guy tried to mug them. Grabbed his wife by the hair from behind. My boss had the strap to the camera wound around his hand to stop anybody stealing it. But he said it sure made a wonderful weapon. He slugged the guy around the head with his Canon "cosh" - swung it on the end of the strap - and the guy took off!

Sorry about that I should have mentioned to click on the thumbnails to see the larger images.

Thank you for taking the time to look at the other galleries.

I do sell some prints but mostly only if someone asks, I don't try to push them in any way.

Cheers
Steve
