I need a 5D favor - 07-02-2009, 01:23 PM


TPF friends, family and comrades, I need a favor. Namely, I need a favor from someone in Houston who shoots a 5D MkII.

I would like to take a picture of your camera (with my camera). That's all. I will meet you wherever (within reason, no dark alleys) and I will go so far as to provide you with an 8x10 print of the photo of your camera signed by yours truly.

Thanks for your help!

Why don't you just go to a camera store to take the photo. I can't imagine Houston Camera wouldn't let you take a photo ... tho I have no idea why you want to do this.

Poor focus behind the camera creates as many bad photos as poor focus through the camera!

HCE or HCo-Op don't have any in stock!
If I had one I would let you, but I don't.......

Try a best buy or circuit city (OOOohhhh, too soon? )
But yeah, I don't think BB would mind you taking a shot of their floor model, or maybe even Fry's. I wonder if Microcenter has any in stock...

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe a stock sale thing? I get requests from stock companies all the time for images they want/need.

OK, so here's my thing. I am going to take a picture of a 5D Mk II and I'm going to trade it for a REAL 5D Mk II. Well, not directly (although that would be snazz), I'm going to trade it for something and trade that for something else until I get the real deal. That's the plan.

How am I going to do that? I have NO idea, but luckily I'm not in a big hurry. BUT, in order to begin, I need a photo. This is where I need the help.

Also, if you're interested in making a trade for a kickassawesome photo of a 5D, make me an offer. =)

Kind of like the red paperclip guy who eventually got a house, right? You're aiming too low; maybe shoot for a Ferrari.

Yes, much like the red paperclip guy.

Most people take a real thing and make a photo out of it, I'm looking to do the opposite.
