Photo Contests!

The Winner of the Pet Photo Contest is Dog Gone GREAT!

Me Ra Koh

Give up a BIG congrats to Baxter, Lucy and their wonderful owner/camera lady, Beth Berry!!!

Beth, you did a fantastic job with capturing Baxter and Lucy in the yellow chair! I’m a big fan of how you got out of the box, pulled a bright, yellow chair into the lawn and shot away. And even though you say these two are mischievous, boy, they seriously have me fooled!

I hope you were blessed by all the wonderful comments people left in regards to your photo. Thank you for submitting! Now it’s time to claim your prize! Which do you prefer? Your own Adobe Lightroom software to speed up your post process (fasten your seatbelt b/c Lightroom is AWESOME)…In fact, I have to tell you that Michelle, winner of our LOVE photo contest, recently emailed and said;

This email is months late (I had won the Love contest), but I finally had a chance to download Lightroom and use it on my last photo session! OH MY GOODNESS how I am impressed!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! This has made post-session modifications so easy to do! My turnaround time is expedited because of it! A THOUSAND THANK YOU’s!!!!!

OR forget about all that and beef up your dogie treats and dogie sweater collection by choosing a $100 Gift Certificate to the online pet store of your choice. ๐Ÿ™‚

Pick your favorite prize, and then email my right hand woman, Genie, at genie@fioria.us. And we will get your prize shipped off!

p.s. I LOVE the slide image you captured from this recent photoshoot you did. Great job!

A HUGE thank you to all the voters. You all had the BEST feedback for each of the five contestants. Thank you for taking the time to let them know your thoughts and votes. You make our community amazing!

We have a Random Voter Award too! We had 425 votes by the cut off date and time! Shoot! We barely missed 500! Almost friends, almost! We’ll try it again sometime in the near future!

But even so, we want to give two Random Voters a $25 Gift Certificate to Starbucks!!! Think pumpkin lattes! ๐Ÿ™‚

Will Ryan please stand up!

I choose #5 because it is well composed, has great color (black and white is too easy), and has a high fun/originality factor.

Our Second Random Voter is Jane Button!
Jane, are you here? Jane posted her vote and said;

My vote is for #5 – I can relate to the whole “fill in the blank profession” by day, aspiring photographer by night. And I love the photo as well! I hope to be able to create photographs like that with my new puppy soon!

It is a honor to be able to host such great photography contests! Your photo entries, your emails, your votes, your comments are life changing for some of the readers. Thank you.
I’m also working on a special post for Monday. It’s all about Photography Tips When Shooting Objects. Our current photo contest theme is “Inspirational Objects”. Some of you have expressed this theme being a bit tougher than other themes we’ve done. So I’ve come up with a bunch of tips that will make this exercise/photo contest even more fun and helpful. I’ll finish the post and have the photography tips go live Monday morning.
FYI, the cut off date for submitting an image to the Inspirational Objects contest is Sunday, October 26th at midnight PST !
Send your images to contest@fioria.us .
One more big congrats to Beth, Ryan and Jane!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
xoxo, Me Ra
p.s. Your Fall ideas from yesterday’s post were amazing! The kids and I read them together and just loved them!!! If you love the Fall, check out yesterday’s comments!
