As many of my regular readers might know, I love to take pictures. What you see on my blog is just a teeny, tiny fraction of the number of pictures I take. I can easily take 50 pictures of a butterfly or a flower just to get the “perfect” shot. Most of my photos end up on my external hard drives or burned on various CDs (sigh…). A few end up on a free stock photography site so anyone can use them as they see fit.
It has been my life long dream to see one of my photos in the pages of a magazien or in a book. Oh… I would be over the moon if that were to ever happen. Maybe…someday…
Here are a few photos that I am proud of.
You can click on each photo for a larger view.
Can you imagine how ecstatic I would be (that would be an understatement!) if one of my photos ended up in a magazine like National Geographic. Oh my goodness!!! I would be beyond thrilled. I would have to buy several dozen copies of the magazine to share with family and friends.
This year Energizer has once again teamed up with the National Geographic Society for the fourth annual Energizer Ultimate Photo Contest, giving photographers like me the ultimate dream opportunity to see one of their photos appear in the pages of National Geographic magazine. Even better, the winner will have their choice of one of three awe inspiring locations around the globe.
This program brings together the society dedicated to inspiring people to care about the planet with the company rooted in developing products that offer high performance with more responsibility. Energizer brought the world’s first mercury-free alkaline batteries to market, commercially available since 1991, and now Energizer® Ultimate Lithium batteries last up to 8x* longer in digital cameras, so you can use up to 8x fewer batteries and create less waste for the planet. A dedication to performance and responsibility is the backbone of the new communication platform at Energizer called now that’s positivenergy.
If you would like to enter please take your best photo and enter it at www.NationalGeographic.com/Lithium. You must enter by June 30, 2011. There are sixt different categories: animals/wildlife, nature/weather, travel/cultures, family/community, arts/music and action/energy. Initial entries will be judged and then two finalists per category, then to one winner per category and ultimately to one Grand Prize winner.
This year the Grand Prize winner of the Energizer Ultimate Photo Contest will also get to select an amazing trip where they are sure to take some breath taking photos. The trip options include an Alaska cruise of the state’s remote wilderness, a Moroccan odyssey spanning the sea to the Sahara or a 12-day journey into the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan. Oh!!! I would have a hard time choosing. I might choose the Alaskan cruise. I’ve always wanted to visit Alaska.
More information about the program please visit www.NationalGeographic.com/Lithium.
In the spirit of the photo contest, Energizer would like to award a lucky reader with a battery-powered desktop mini digital photo frame powered by two Energizer Ultimate Lithium AAA batteries. Thanks Energizer! What a fun way to display your favorite photos. I love that it’s battery powered too so you don’t have to find a place to plug it in and you can take it with you anywhere.
To enter please visit www.NationalGeographic.com/Lithium and check out the amazing photos. Then come back here and comment on one of your favorites.
