I sold these items through Craigslist. I love photography, but I didn’t use the equipment often enough to justify keeping it.

A few nice photo scanner images I found:
Old Franklin half cent
Image by readerwalker
Even back when I bought this at the post office I wondered what anyone used a half cent stamp for. Thoreau tallied to the half cent the costs of his Walden cabin materials, but that was a long time ago (March 1845).
This is a test of my new Epson Perfection V300 Photo scanner. Not bad for an inexpensive scanner ( from B&H, including shipping). Note the detail and clarity in the much enlarged original size scanned image. This stamp turned out to be an unusually good test for the scanner.
In googling I found several web pages about a different looking Franklin half cent stamps before finally finding a picture of this one and this explanation:
"In 1938, the United States issued a set of definitive postage stamps featuring images of the nation’s first 29 presidents. This issue has affectionately become known as the Prexies issue. In addition to the 29 presidents featured on the stamps, fractional postage stamps were issued with images of non-presidents, such as Benjamin Franklin and Martha Washington, and the White House.
"For those not familiar with fractional postage, some types of U.S. mail required a partial cent, even though there was no coinage for half cents in use in the United States at the time. Thus, a person could buy 2 half-cent stamps for a cent, and use them as additional postage for some classes of mail. Also, the half-cent stamp was used to round the 1-1/2 and 4-1/2 cent purchases up to the nearest whole cent. However, throughout its existence, the half-cent stamp was never used, by itself, in order to mail a letter as the minimum postage was never less than 1 cent.
"The first stamp (in denomination order) is the half-cent Benjamin Franklin issue. As the United State’s first Postmaster, he was chosen to appear on the first fractional value stamp."
That according to: www.stampsofdistinction.com/2008/06/8-things-you-didnt-kn…

This was shot in 2001 on our honeymoon in California somewhere along the Pacific Coast Highway as we traveled from San Francisco to Los Angeles.
This was shot with a Yashicamat-LM TLR using Fuji color slide film and scanned at 2400dpi with an Epson V500 Photo scanner.

Answer by Hondo
That completely depends on what you will be photographing. Landscapes? Family and friends? Flowers?
I find it strange that you spend over ,000 on a camera body but have no idea what type of lens to use…

A few nice online photo sharing images I found:
My 20,000th Upload to Flickr
Image by Thomas Hawk
The photo above marks my 20,000th upload to Flickr. My first photo uploaded to Flickr was uploaded on January 2, 2005, four years ago. Over the past four years, sharing photos online has redefined how I view my own work. I have found inspiration from other photographers daily and I’ve met some truly, truly amazing artists, photographers and people participating in this new world of social photography along the way.
Thanks to everyone who over the last four years has stopped by my photos and left a note, a comment, a fave — touch from one human being to another. Your testimonials, your emails, your blog comments, spending a few hours walking around San Francisco or Oakland or Berkeley or Hollywood or Sacramento or Las Vegas or Portland or Seattle or New York or New Orleans or anyplace else our paths have crossed, in real life or online have held great meaning for me. I’ve appreciated the feedback, I’ve appreciated the friendship, I’ve appreciated the support. It’s made me a better photographer. It’s made me a better person.
20,000 uploads to Flickr represents 2% of a goal that I’ve come to define as part of this process of learning about myself and my photography.
I’d like to publish one million photographs online before I die.
This means that I’m planning on shooting, processing, and publishing photographs every single day for the rest of my life. It means that I have to live a long time and be careful to maintain a pace that makes this likely based on human life expectancy. It means living my life with a camera constantly by my side. Permanently attached to my being. Framing my world hour by hour as I move about this planet. Every day a new opportunity to find and present new beauty to the entire connected world.
I’m optimistic about what the future holds. A phrase I’ve repeated often is that the best photographs in the world have yet to be taken. This phrase isn’t meant to discount the amazing work of so many great photographers of yesteryear that have paved the way for the world of photography today. Rather, it’s meant in a spirit of hope. Hope that tomorrow will bring still more opportunities to capture the human condition and the beauty around us. Hope in an evolutionary creative vision that lives in all of us and that is constantly finding new ways to express things artistically. Hope and a belief that in technological advances are born even greater ways to help us achieve our artistic passions.
And on the continuing ride that the next 40 years or so may have in store for me, I’m excited about how much of my life will overlap with the people that I continue to have the good fortune to run across in this world. As much as my photography allows me to constantly interact with people in the offline world, friends and strangers alike, as big a part of that overlap, at least for me, comes from this great big world of online photo sharing that we all share with such generosity.

The Bristol Flickr group is putting on an exhibition and it’s free! You should come.
flickLgraphique
16-21 April 2010
at The Photo Gallery, Photographique, 31 Baldwin Street, Bristol, BS1 1RG
We are pleased to announce a curated exhibition of some of the best images from members of Bristol’s online photography community, the Bristol Flickr group.
flickLgraphique is the result of a partnership between the Bristol Flickr group and Photographique, Bristol’s premier photography shop in the heart of the city. The exhibition is a showcase of some of the best photography produced by 50 members of the Bristol Flickr group. There’s something for everyone: from street to studio, mystical trees, quirky angles and striking portraits, urban action night and day, with kites, bikes, trains and tiny details in between. What unites all of these pictures is that the people who took them call Bristol their home.
Flickl is the name given to exhibitions organised by Bristol-based users of Flickr, the online photo sharing community, because Bristolians know that all words sound better with an L on the end!
flickLgraphique is the third event to be organised the Bristol Flickr group. It follows last year’s successful exhibition, Flickl II: An Eye for Colour, held at the Theory Café in Millennium Square, and the inaugural flickL exhibition held at the CREATE Centre in 2006. The Bristol Flickr group currently has more than 2,000 members who meet on and offline to share experiences, photographic and otherwise; membership is open to all irrespective of background or experience. flickLgraphique is our way of showcasing the amazing diversity of the group.
Visit flickLgraphique, 16-21 April 2010, at The Photo Gallery, Photographique, 31 Baldwin Street, Bristol, BS1 1RG.
