The Last Swan Song!

It has been a long time coming, but it is finally time to retire my Canon Rebel, but one last shot before I do. It has served me well!

[Graeme Stevens]

excellent shot

[Clare Gadsby]

and what a swan song - fabulous composition and b&w. why does it have to be retired? and what will you be using instead?

[gloria jones]

Fantastic b&w shot, composition, light

[Gerasimos Georg.]

wonderful black n white shot

[Jodie]

A wonderful last shot, I got my old Rebel out the other day for some shots and actually quite liked it again.

[Rachel]

Oh, poor Canon. I have a retired one in the cupboard too. What have you moved to? Lovely shot.

[Richard Sayer]

I like this... at least the Rebel is bowing out with great panache! I assume the XT2 has arrived?

[Jennifer]

Fabulous finale!! Fav. Good luck with your new camera.

[Taffy]

A terrific way to say goodbye to your trusty camera. I hope it has a good home somewhere else!

[Walks @ 7]

This last shot has a wonderful musical feel to it. Fav!

[David]

Canon must be looking over their shoulders at the march of Fuji X! Mind, if you can still get shots like this perhaps you could hang on to it for a while. Do you have several canon lenses also ready for the retirement home?

[Jasper]

So long and thanks for all the pics.

[alta]

What a fabulous farewell shot. So brave to let it go, i will have problem saying goodbye to a trusty camera.

[Jerome]

very nice shot! very nice processing

[Joan Robillard]

Wonderful capture

[Bill Fenske]

great comp & b/w processing

[Tom]

Lovely use of light and contrast once again in wonderful composition

[Francesca Ciarrocchi]

Super b&w shot!

[Steve Angell]

Goodbye Canon! Lovely last pic with it.

Are you full-time with your X70 or are thetre more cameras?

Also, I don't think I have replied which I apologise humbly for, to your questions about my travels to the US. I am flying straight to Minneapolis on Sunday so won't have time to visit Chicago. I decided to make sure I got my Visa sorted safely and with time to spare that I wouldn't go early. I could have gone in retrospect but I didn't know the US Embassy would be so quick processing the Visa.
Maybe next time..??!! :)

[Steve Angell]

Also, are you coming to the UK and Norfolk?
I am away until the 10th October. Will you still be around?

[Ukandie!]

@stevecameras I am in Norfolk now, so would not have been in Chicago if you had been, ironically I fly back to the US on the 10th! I was pretty much full time with my X70, but have added the XT-2 to go with it.

[Ukandie!]

Thank you @pistache @888rachel , I have gone mirrorless and have the Fuji X-T2.

[Ukandie!]

@vignouse Thanks Richard, yes the X-T2 has arrived :)

[Ukandie!]

@yrhenwr Thanks David. I do not have too many canon lenses. Just a nifty 50, and a Sigma 17-50mm that I used pretty much all of the time, along with the 2 kit lenses that came with it that I rarely used and are worth next to nothing. So not too heavily invested.

[Steve Angell]

@ukandie1 Yes well will just miss each other! Oh well, another time perhaps.And yes I am also thinking of the X-E2. It looks like an amazing camera.
