Two Weeks into 2010!!

The year is off to a good start! We're now almost two weeks in and I'd like to announce that I have started a Flicker account and will be posting new photos and art there every weekend. Sadly I haven't uploaded anything there.... YET! I will take requests for what types of photography or art you'd like to see up on my page.

Photo Contest Update: Today was the last day to upload photos and pay entry fees for many contests, a notable one is the one held by Studio414, they do global contests about once a month, and another that is a weekly pre-chosen category contest. The contestants can enter as many photos as they wish with an entry fee of 5 dollars per picture. Like any contest with possibly hundreds of contestants, there is a considerably decent judging period, for this contest it is ten days. The winner, 2nd, 3rd, and honorable mentions will be posted to the studio's page on January 22nd. First prize winner is given the choice between a $2000 dollar prize or a Canon 5D Mark II DSLR camera!

I must say that is quite amazing. The camera is among the Top-of-the-Line choice cameras for professional photographers and has had been in featured articles in numerous photography magazines! I am unsure if the camera comes with a lens, but I can safely assume that, since the camera alone is worth up to $3000 dollars in some places, it is likely to be just the camera body. But for most of you photographers out there, it would not be a hard task to get a few decent lenses for this majestic camera, albeit they may be a tad expensive, as is any fair camera lens.

I also must add that I am unsure of how legit this contest is seeing as it world-wide, it seems like it may be a safe choice. Though there is no immediate choice for paying for entry costs in a safe link through the basic upload page, there is a choice through the alternative which is labeled for any technical problems, which will allow you to pay fees through PayPal, a much safer method.

May those of you who enter a contest have luck on your side! Have fun and be safe!
