Find Amazon bargains!

previous article: next article:

I just stumbled over a clever tip over at the Consumerist – Basically, there’s a clever way of searching on Amazon.com, where you can find deals on photography gear at massive discounts! Set your credit card to stun…

The trick is quite cunning – all you have to do is to hack the URL a little bit, allowing you to find deals with a certain percentage off the recommended retail price!

Collected in an useful list here:

Fabulous, yes? Of course, (forgive me for the ruthless nameplugging) you can also get my book at 35% off from Amazon :-)

Fabulous stuff. Thanks for the tip, Consumerist!

Money made from this advert will be invested in prime lenses.

Anyone know if this can be done with other catagories, such as books, and if so, how one knows how to hack into the url?

Hmm, not a single Canon L series lens in the 90 percent off category…

Strange… :P

Awesome tip! I’ll definitely add this one to my blog as well.

bummer Andrew, I was thinking the same thing (but for Nikon)… really good deals on really crappy stuff… Cool tip though! I am sure with enough time on my hands I could find at least ONE thing that I could use! :)

Some of those in the 90% off category at least are ridiculously overpriced to begin with. Over $100 for a 256MB SD Card? It’s not a deal even with the 90% off.

it’s weird that i’m not jealous you wrote a book, simply that you have an author’s page on amazon.

It doesn’t work for amazon.co.uk unfortunately! It comes back saying nothing is avilable with x% off! Looks like the US has much better bargains!

They don’t ship to Australia . . . hello?!

So, the 550D and the 50D cost practically the same, and have different advantages. Which one would you buy?

My books

Macro Photography Photo Workshop

Macro Photography Photo Workshop by Haje Jan Kamps My day job, if it can be called that, is being a writer. I've got one book out there so far and it's awesome, so go ahead and buy a copy! It's available from Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, and most decent-sized bookshops, too!

To find out more, check out this post! If you want to know more about the 'being a writer' thing, check this site out.

Put another dime in the jukebox

Put another dime in the jukebox In front of you, five hyperactive men with guitars, drums, and microphones. Behind you, five thousand fans. In your hands, a camera... You're going to need more than just a little bit of good luck to pull this one off. That's where this book comes in.

With nearly a hundred fantastic gig photos, and a ton of info about how to get involved in taking photos like this yourself, you can't go wrong. Buy this book. Grab your camera. Good luck.

Street Photography: London

Street Photography: London Take a Canon EOS 450D. Attach a Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens. Hit the streets of London. See what happens.

Sounds simple - but the results are anything but. Moving, intense, and personal, Street Photography: London is a great collection of the people of London, their passions, and their dreams. Look for yourself!

About

This site is all about learning more about photography, from the incredibly insightful (rarely) to the dreadfully mundane (also, hopefully rarely) via just about everything in between.

If this website seems a little whimsical and random, then that's because the author of this blog, who for the occasion is confusing himself by writing about himself in the third person, is slightly whimsical and random himself.

Enjoy!
