Firstly, I apologise for waiting over a week to announce the winner! After a minor hiccup with my laptop (which had a couple of entry emails stored on it…) I finally had the list together.

The next step was to enter the names into a virtual barrel (aka: list randomiser)

After running the entries through the list randomiser (love the internet!)

I’m pleased to announce

that

the name

of

my first ever

competition winner

is:

I haven’t notified the winner yet – thought there might be a bit more excitement in reading it on the blog! But, over the next few days I will (as well as notifying the lucky 2nd and 3rd place draws who will receive a special discount offer – so you’re still not out of the running for a prize yet!).

Thanks so much to those who did enter, I was afraid I’d get no entries. Nine isn’t a bad start though…

A new competition is already in the works – to be teamed with a new feature to the blog.

So hang around!

Gaby, I look forward to taking some lovely photos for your family!

That’s right a competition! And it is simple to enter!

It’s that time of year again, Photo5! I love this competition. The nature of the game; taking each object and trying to find a unique and creative way to showcase it.

Last year I made the finals in two categories. This year I got the surprise of my life, a phonecall from Canon – my email address from last years comp had changed, so they called to ask about using my images (see here, under Box and Chalk) in the promo material for this years comp!! They used both my final images from last year and I received $100 per image for the privilege (hard days work).

This years objects are: a Red Ribbon, a Crayon, Bubble Mix, a Cocktail Umbrella and a Tealight Candle.

And these are my entries for 2008:

For me, the best part of this comp is cruising through the gallery to see how people from all walks of life can come up with the same/similar shots, from one simple prop. As well as a huge diversity of ideas.

The finalists are announced in November – please cross your fingers for me!

There are a few things changing around here! I’m branching out, trying a few new things, expanding my range…

Stick around to see what appears!
