I recently had a very good experience selling ALL my old film equipment, lenses, strobe, and a D100 Nikon digital camera. I got a good price. The New York oufits I called didn't even want to discuss buying my stuff.
I got this organization thru the Nikonian web site.

Nikon D100 plus 28-200 lens FOR SALE
This is a 6.1 megapixel digital single lens reflex camera in outstanding condition. It includes a Nikkor 28-200 lens, two batteries, a charger, and a memory card. A perfect way to get started in digital photography or graduate from the snap shot, digital point-and-shoot world that immediately defines you as an amateur!
This limited offer to only GCC Blog readers will not last forever.
All for $450. Compare to ebay prices, but buy from someone you know.
Why am I selling it? I own a Nikon D200 and don't need an extra DSLR.
Note: A decent point-and-shoots will cost at least $350.

A-10 Landing - 160 knots
Taken at about 100 feet with a Nikon D200 using a Nikon 70-200 f2.8 VR lens. Set camera for continuous high-speed shutter and continuous focus at about 1/400 sec., ISO 200.
Plane passed me going about 160 knots according to the pilot.
I has special permission to be on the median between two runways.
The plane is an A-10 designed to knock out tanks with 30mm rapid -fire canon in the nose. You've seen it at the Granby Memorial Day Parade flyovers.
The plane was flown by my neighbor.
The tire smoke was supplied at my request.
This plane is a flying gray card, so white balance was a snap.

Ender's Fall Early Morning...best times?
This was taken early in the morning on a hot and humid summer day. Has anybody taken photos of Enders at sunrise/sunset? What's it like? Best times?

Fun making panoramas
Stephen & Nancy Hayes house and goat farm on North Granby Road. I stitched about 6 photos together to get this shot. Panoramas are good to document farms, etc. to show entire farm rather than pieces. It would be impossible to get this shot except with a fisheye lens, but that distorts and is not apporopriate for this kind of work. This photo covers about 180 degrees.
