I want a 5D…
…i dont need a 5D…but i also think its a bit expensive…
Thing is…what is expensive…we always try to get away with the cheapest solution…make a bargain…end of season sale. Come to think of it we waste lot of money on stuff we dont need…like cigs, beer…COFEE!!! why someone would pay 30k for coffee is beyond my understanding. But then again I am being judgmental. Or its just my opinion.
Point being…nothing is cheap…and expense can take different forms…its does not need to be monitory. Sacrifices is a kind of expense. How much are you willing to sacrifice for something. It can be people, places or in this case money.
How far will you go to get that frame. Jeff Ascough said something interesting…”you cannot put a price on memories…”
Lot of people wrongly think that its me who takes the frame…its the camera+lens…ok maybe a good eye helps.
Coming back…as i said…i want a 5D. So i tried to see my 30D for 5k NOK or 35kRs. But not one seems to be interested, which surprises me…few years back i spent 20k Rs on a FZ5. Compared to that this is a steal. One reason i guess is because i am not selling a lens with it…why would i?…i have just prime lenses and not everyone wants them…most people are happy with a standard 18-55 kit lens, which retails for close to nothing.
I could reduce the price…but it just feels wrong to sell it any cheaper…if you like photography then be prepared to shell out some serious money. Suri…make some money…then like the good old days we can take some awesome frames…

Hi,
Came across your blog through one of my friend (Pranay Rao) blog.
I’ve been reading your blog since many months now and I really love to see all the photos.
I too love photography. Just stated a few months back and I have to say that your blog has inspired me a lot. Brought my first DSLR Camera (Canon 400D) 2 months back, not very sure how good it is as compared to Nikon or any other camera’s, but im exploring it.
All your Black and White photos give a very different feel, and I tend to spend at least 2 mins staring at each of them. I have tried experimenting with my photos too, in Canon 400D i guess there is no option to click BnW frames. I tried using photoshop to convert the color ones to BnW but im not really satisfied with it.
Just wanted to check with you is there any software you use to convert to BnW since the output of your BnW photos are really good?
I am glad that you are enjoying the potogs.
1. There is an option to shoot BW in the 400d
2. I shoot in RAW and convert them to BW in Adobe Camera Raw
Hope this helps.
Thankx Shashank ..
