Collin's been telling everyone you were dead.

Rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

Not bad How about you?

Not bad. Been busy getting excited about a change in style (photographically) and being completely ignored on redbubble.

If I had the spare readies, maybe. What you asking?

Man, that didn't take long! TWO posts.

Yes, a price is a good idea

I dunno what they are worth these days.
$1700?

The first part sounds good but Redbubble seems pretty useless. Like a lot of places on the net, you'll only get going on there if you contribute a lot yourself.

$1700 is probably a better price than what they haven't been selling for at other places.

Great set Andrew !!!

But I'm not too sure of the wisdom of the guys running the Navy boat over, The Navy guys might have BIG backup !!!

This idiot is shooting at 70mm, 1/20th, and blaming the lens.

Maybe he figures it's better to blame the lens then your own ignorance....Or then again maybe he doesn't know he is ignorant !!!

I liked it because they focus on art rather than just being a dumping ground, so theoretically the quality is better. I never intended to sell anything, but I don't seem to be getting many views or anything either.

Like I said, if I had the readies, I might. I'm starting to warm to the idea of going FF instead of lusting for a 1Dx

You need to market in order to get the exposure. That's how ANY gallery site works.

Thought you sold that awhile ago..

I'm actually after a second 5D, but not interested in the grip.

Well, redbubble is similar to flickr in the sense that it's a social networking site as well - there are groups for different topics and each has its own forum. Just adding your images to groups exposes it to a number of potential viewers.

How's the 5D Mk1 standing up these days? Not too old yet? I guess it wouldn't be hard to be an upgrade for my old 400D..

The 5D is a huge upgrade over the 400D. You'll be blown away by the high-ISO performance and the "pop" of your images created by the naturally lower DoF. The body is also much more ergonomic on the hands and you'll have a ball with the huge viewfinder...

If you can afford it, do it!

Yeah, I know what you mean. I've never really gone through the place but I remember it being very arty. Hell, Flickr's cameras section shows the iPhone as the most popular 'camera' by shots uploaded.

Definitely. But some places are very stuck up and it just doesn't work because the elitists don't want new people trying to invade

It's great if it's what you're looking for. It's not too old at all.

Love to, but not just yet. I'm actually just about to downgrade cars to free up some disposable income, but I may be travelling to the UK in 18 months or so and want to upgrade before then (or buy a new one to take, and get it duty-free.)

Oh, he knows - people were lining up in the thread to tell him, and he rejected it all, as per the above comment. Unreal.
