February Winners – Everyone!

Given the rigors of the week, closing out the February contest was not high enough on my radar, but having stirred from the hydro-codone-induced sleep, I remembered that it’s time to close out February and begin March contests.  As you may recall, for February, a $50 discount card is being offered up to all participants in the February LDP Contest giveaway, so for those of you who participated and were patiently awaiting the discount code – it’s been published in the February contest thread.

And now – the moment you’ve all been waiting for:  the February co-winners, each of whom gets $150 in printing from NPL, the ones whose images were most compelling, the ones…all right already, they are:

You can find their respective Flickr streams of these and their other photo libraries here and here respectively!  Congrats to both of you and I’ve sent your names over to our contact with Nations Photo Lab so they can deliver the coupon codes for your prizes to you!  Thanks again to Nations Photo Lab for their generous donations for the month of February!  Be sure to tune in on Monday for the announcement of the March contest!

You can win a Drobo!

That’s right – a drobo is up for grabs.  For those that already tune in to This Week In Photography, hosted by Scott Bourne, you probably already know about this, but he and his crew of friends (Steve Simon, Frederick Van Johnson and Ron Brinkmann) host a photo contest about once a quarter.  The goal of the contest is to get you out shooting with a theme in mind.  Well, this month, in order to motivate people they are also including a Drobo for some lucky participant.  So, how do you get in on the action?

  • Well, first, go to Photrade and set up a free account.
  • Then, join the TWIP Photo Contest
  • Finally, upload your favorite photo (that fits with the theme).

That’s it!  Three easy steps to winning a Drobo!  As luck would have it, I just happen to have a link to Photrade here at CanonBlogger.  Simply click on the picture over to your right to get over to Photrade, where you can register and then upload your own entry (or if you run out of time, you can just vote for mine! 🙂 )

In any case, it’s a great prize, and also an excellent backup solution for anyone from a beginner to a serious photographer as the scalability of it rocks!  You can learn more about Drobo here.

Don’t forget, for those RSS readers out there.  Stop over to the blog to see the latest poll and contribute.  It’s more fun and revealing when we all throw our 2¢ in the mix!  Happy shooting, have a great weekend, and we’ll see you back here on Monday!
