Name your Dream Assignment – Winners!

previous article: next article:

If you can remember back to mid February, I did a post called If you can dream it, you can do it – which, among other things, called out for entries for the Name Your Dream Assignment competitions.

I was one of the judges, and Christ with a jetpack, if people didn’t come up with some absolutely awesome ideas…

The winner, Picture Hope is a well put together bid for a photographic project full of hopes, ideas, and more than a little bit of passion for a cause – and a well-deserved winner, in my opinion. Also check out the two runners-ups!

Incidentally, the Lenovo laptop the 3 winners win is pretty damn awesome – a huge 17-inch screen and a built-in Wacom tablet to do your photo editing on might actually be enough to (gasp) make me consider having a closer look. Now if only I could run Mac OS X on it somehow, I’d be a very happy bunny indeed…

Anyway, a huge congratulations to the winners, and if you didn’t win – go ahead and fulfill your dream assignment anyway. Especially you, Doubletrax – your Changes in Latitude project deserves a special mention here, because it was the one I found myself telling people about in the pub!

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

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!
