Forum Tips Competition Winners!

As we mentioned a few weeks ago on the dPS blog and ImageVueX.

The Tips

We had around 120 entries in our little competition. Some were great, some were funny, some made our judging panel look at each other with that “umm, are you sure” face! But we’ve come up with our two winners and they are as follows…. (are you ready for this!)

First place goes to… (drum roll, please…)

withlime. We’ll be posting her tip about surveying the edges of your image before shooting here on the DPS blog shortly.

withlime wins an Olympus Tough 8000 camera (see more details of the camera below).

Second place goes to….

timkoo. He submitted a post about getting past some of the issues that might stop you getting out and shooting with your camera. Again – we’ll be posting his tip here on the DPS blog later today.

timkoo wins a web gallery package from ImageVueX.
