*** GIVEAWAY CLOSED ***
Happy Tuesday!
Happy Tuesday!
For all you budding photographers out there,
I've decided to throw a spontaneous, impromptu giveaway!
Because I've learned sooooooo much from this wonderful book,
I want you to have it, too!
If you find yourselves struggling ( like I did ) with the concepts of
Aperture
Shutter Speed
White Balance
and ISO
and you really, really want to take better pictures,
then this book is for you!
The beauty of this book is that you can take what you learn
and apply it to ANY camera!
I went from shooting exclusively on
Auto Mode to Manual Mode
in a very short amount of time,
Auto Mode to Manual Mode
in a very short amount of time,
thanks to this marvelous, easy-to-understand book.
Trust me, if I did it, you can too!
To enter, just leave a comment, I'll pick a weiner this Friday, the 21st.
Good Luck!

This is weird. I just logged on to order this book but decided to visit some of my fellow peeps first ano lo and behold your post was right there. I must mention that I read your previous post about the book so that is how I knew about it. Either way, if I don't win I am still getting the book.
Thank you for such a generous offer.

Wow! Would love to win that book. I definitely need help with taking photos! Please throw my name into the hat!
Oh, I'd love to win your book. I was taking a photography class last spring when my mom went into the hospital. I had to drop the class to go spend time with her in Grand Forks. I could certainly use the help!
Take care ~Natalie
Very exciting! Thank you for another chance at an awesome giveaway. I can use all the help I can get at working a camera! :-)
Oh how exciting! I just started my own blog a few days ago and have recently bought a digital SLR and plan on posting lots of photos there. I'm anxious to learn, learn, learn and this book would be just what I need. I've been following your blog for a bit now and have added it to my blog list. I saw this latest post pop up while I was fooling around with my site. What timing! Whoever wins will be a lucky person (or weiner)!! Good luck to all.
Well, this is exciting! I just started blogging and I need all the help I can get. Guess which mode I have my camera on ~ yep ~ auto pilot
I really, really, NEED this book, so pretty please pick me!!!

Hey, I'd love to have that. I've seen the progression of your photography so I know it has to be a great help. Sign me up to be the weiner!
I'd love to be the weiner!! I have a 4-day old granddaughter and better quality picture taking just went to the top of my to do list!!! BTW, love your photography. Glad you are in love with your new equipment.
I want this so bad. If I don't win it, I'm buying it. Thanks for the opportunity. Hope you're feeling better. Jan
Hi Anne, I really need this! Make me a weiner! lol
Kim:)
Oh my gosh that is a great giveaway. I bought me a 'GOOD' camera but that does not make me a 'GOOD' picture taker. I want mine to look just like yours, they are great. So what can I say I want that book. Sandra
keyskids@gmail.com
Please add me to the long list of people who NEED, WANT, MUST HAVE this book and enter me in your giveaway. Thanks for all the encouragement you give to those of us just starting out.
Oh my, I would love this book. One of my goals for this year is to learn more about my camera and to take better photos. Thanks Anne!
ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME!!!!!!!!!! I'll be your BFF!!!!
That is a great book! How kind of you! I checked it out to learn manual when I got my first DSLR and loved it, but have never bought a copy. I don't know why not.
I would love to win that. I have been really wanting a new camera but not wanting to spend the money on one since I don't really know how to do anything beyond auto mode. I've even been considering taking a photography class or two at our local junior college. This book might be just what I need to get me started in the right direction.

LOL! I'd love to win this, Anne...thanks for offering it!
Crossing my fingers and toes!
This would be so awesome to win!
Goodness knows...I need help understanding this new camera! Thanks for a chance!
:)
Cool giveaway! I'm still afraid to move my camera setting to anything other than the little green box/auto. I have this book on my amazon.com wish list. I'd love to win! Happy Tuesday to you :)
It's on like Donkey Kong! lol I was just thinking about this book today and how much I need it. I was going to root back through your posts to find the title. I think it must be meant for me to win. I would understand completely if you just called the whole thing off and mailed it to me. lol Great giveaway...please include me!
I need this book! My photos should be a LOT better! :)
Oh girl!!! This is right up my alley!!!! I would love to win this book! What a great giveaway! Thanks and I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed!
Since I'm now a "Anne-Wanna-Be", I TRULY need to win this book, Anne! lol! Thanks for thinking of us rookies out here with this thoughtful giveaway, friend! ♥
xoxo laurie
I really need to learn more about my awesome camera. It is way smarter than me!
I'd love to win this book! I'm still learning how to use my Nikon and an easy to read book would be such a help!
Abby
wow, there are quite a few comments. i don't know if they just want to be picked as a "Wiener" or to get lucky and win the book. either way, i would like a chance also, so please put my name in the hat also. Bestest,Denise i always love it when you have a giveaway as it always come to a complete surprise for me.
Thank you so much for your offer! It sounds like a wonderful resource to own :)
I just went ahead and downloaded it to my e-reader. I probably would have won if you knew the whole story, like how I bought the big lense like yours for my D5000 and I only had it one day when I saw you had a whole new camera. Yikes! And how this is the first blog I've ever really looked at (the window picture blew me away), and because you looked like a friend I lost track of. Weiner? Maybe I should have had my hubby write in. Anyway I'm just glad to be here.
"If you find yourselves struggling ( like I did ) with the concepts of
Aperture
Shutter Speed
White Balance
and ISO" - check
"and you really, really want to take better pictures," - check
"then this book is for you!" i'm convinced! i need this book! thanks for the chance to win!
I would love to step away from AUTO more often... this sounds like a wonderful book! :)
And we have a Weiner!!!
This book is on my wish list, but hey, if I won it, even better! I'd gladly be the weiner, the hot dog, even your gal Friday if I could win this book! LOL! Thanks for the chance to win!
Hugs,
Judy
Oh my gosh!! I soo need this book. Thanks for the awesome giveaway. Love your blog!
thanks for the giveaway, I hope I'm a weiner!
I could certainly use help! ;-)
Thanks! ~ sarah
This sounds like something I need. Things just aren't coming together in the photo area like I hoped. Got my fingers crossed :)
Ouuu I admire your photography and wanna be like you when I grow up! :-)
Any help, advice and tid bits would surely help me!
Smiles, Dolly
I really do want to learn how to take better photos...planning to take a class in February. With this book, I could get a headstart and impress the teacher! ;)
I want to be the weiner , please, please, please! I have always wanted to be a weiner and be able to take better pictures. Please think of me as your top 'dog' (get it?!) and let me win, even with that random thingy.
Looking forward to Friday when I get my prize!!
Would love to have this book. Love your blog! Jonette
back to say ... there ain't never no way I'm getting a different camera
( 12.2 Canon)
can't afford it ...
don't have time to learn even this baby ...
so
I decided that I need not compete with all of you pros.
what I do best is design and style ... my calling is to do just that.
I think sometimes we all think we need do do it all ...
and of course, we can't ... so we shant ...
now you on the otherhand ... you're my idol- picture- taker- girl
I AM learning manual, tho and love it
I've been trying to learn about my Nikon D5000. It is very sophisticated. But I practice and practice. And I've had helpful hints from a photographer dude, too. But this book needs me, I think :) Thanks so much for the chance!
Blessings

Boy, there must be lots of bad photographers {and wieners} out there...........

Oh my word, I would LUV to have this book. I hope I am lucky enough to win your giveaway!

I just bought
this book because
of your recommendation
{via Becky} and am
looking forward to
reading it. My dad
got my mom a new
dslr for X-mas and
she was just telling
me YESTERDAY on the
phone how much she
loves your pictures,
so if I my little 'ole
name got pulled, I'd
give this book to her.
Thanks for your continuing
inspiration, Anne!

Great giveaway! I'd love to read that!
I took Kim Klassen's Photoshop online class, and feel comfortable using it. It would be so much better to take decent photos first. I would love to win this book so I could do just that. Thanks for the opportunity.
HOT DOG, I wanna' be a wiener, I'll be the bestest wiener ever........I promise!
Thank you for the opportunity.

i'm borrowing this book, but i'd love to have my own copy. it's awesome!!!!
Thanks for wanting to share with your fellow bloggers...great! I also can't wait to see photos of Willow Nest. Cheers! Agnes
Does Mr. Peterson come with the book...'cause that's the only way I'll ever improve.
Deb
Wow! Thanks for letting us in on the book-even if I don't win, now I know where to turn for help-it just may be the thing that will finally encourage me to start my blog:) Thanks so much Anne-as always you are fun, inspiring and altogether terrific!
Anne, oh please enter me in this wonderful contest! Just look at my photos on my blog...you know I need it!
I would love a chance to win this book! Thank you for the great opportunity.
Love,
Susan and Bentley
xxoo
whoo Hoo! I would love this book, maybe I will be brave enough to move out of the auto mode! I am so happy for you and your new profession! Can't wait to see the pictures!
Pick me, Pick me! I would LOVE to have this book. I checked it out at the library a few months back and it is now permanently on my wish list!
whew. my mouse ran outta juice coming all the way down here. Anne, you have 95 other people (so far) wanting to be chosen. I have follower envy, camera envy and Anne envy. not a good thing, but good things come to nice people. That being said, hope the random picker thingy choses me
for da book. I need a boost.
I'm sure my little camera can do sooooo much more if only I knew how, so I would love to win this book - for my camera's sake as well as mine. :) xx
How sweet of you to think of all us camera inept bloggers...seriously! If it is part of your success with the camera, it must be good!
:)Heidi
Would love that book! Thank you for the generous give a way!
Ooooh! Count me in girlie!
Blessings,
Missy
OHHH...that is just what I NEED! I shoot all my photos on auto. The little book that came with the camera must be written in Greek, cause I just don't get it. LOL
What a great give away...
I need this book! I bought myself a new camera. I have read the book that came along with it,( That was a first, I never read the instructions until I get in trouble)and I still am just looking at all those buttons and dials. Lucky to be able to find how to turn the flash off! I even checked out a digital camera for dummies book from the library!
Deb
I would LOVE to win the book!!! And if i don't i will search it on amazon since it is a recommendation of yours---your photos make me smile and say ahhhh......
chris
If I don't win, could you just come over and show me how to turn the dial from A to M? Please? I've tried, I've failed, but I keep on trying. Maybe this book is just what I need (but I'd rather have you come over!).
Oh good grief there is hope for me. Please let me win as I am desperate!!!!!!! Have a great day.Sharon
I am an auto mode girl, lol, so I could definitely do with this book. Fingers crossed. x
Hmmm...well I guess if I sound like I know what I am talking about it could justify the purchase of a new camera?!
I'll be keeping my fingers crossed!
Oh Anne, I would love to win this awesome book. Since I live way out in the country, it is 40 mins to the local jr college for a class and they are not offering one this semester :( I really could use a good book to help with my new Nikon camera.
Thanks for the giveaway.
I would love a chance to be the 'weiner' of this book :-) Thank you for being so generous, I really would like to start taking photos like you do.
Thank you so much for sharing a resource that will up the quality of photo taking. I am off to Amazon to snag a copy!
I would love to understand all of that jibberish...shutter speed, apeture, ISO is all Greek to me! Thanks for the chance to win, Anne.
Great giveaway! I would love to win this book. I have been taking pictures for two years now and there is so much I have to learn.
Does this mean I can be as good as you???
A girl can dream right?
Thanks for the chance.
xx

This is an impromtu comment to go along with your impromptu giveaway! It is kind of fun being compulsive! Seriously, I would love the book and need any hints and ideas on photography possible! Constance from Utah constanceoc@yahoo.com
That is a very cool giveaway Anne! I just read Suzanne's post about her photography classes and I'm trying to follow along as I've been an auto mode gal for so long. Thanks for the chance to win! xoxo ~Lili
What a great idea for a giveaway! I've had my eye on this book for a while now and sure would love to have a copy
If you say it works for you, I may have to pick it up even if I'm in the losers line!
wow what a great give away and although i'm here in australia and may not be eligible i would love to have a copy of this book. i've been into photography and own my own canon dslr and love it however i am still struggling with shutter speeds and apertures even though and just when i think i've got the hang of it...it appears not quite yet. thanks for a chance to win. hugs xo
I'm so lost with my camera :( I'm going to go buy this if I don't win....OK I guess I need a few more hours in my day too :)
XOXO
Kristin
looks like a good book...thanks for the opportunity.

I really enjoy reading your blog! Thank you for the give away. I'm trying to learn all of capabilities of my Canon Rebel T1i.
This sounds great, I'd love to learn more about photography. I a new comer to you blog, I added you to my blog roll a few weeks ago, so glad I did!
You have no idea how much help I need with my photographs, this book would sure help. Thanks for the opportunity!
eeeeeekkk manual mode!!!!!!!
I'm so glad I found your gorgeous blog! I am nuts about your photography. I especially like the one of the blue pitcher on the white chair. So clean and vivid.
I'm also a beginning digital style shutterbug myself. While it might be nice to be a winner, win or lose, I and my blogging companions are sure to stop by here again and again.
Rose McGuinn
thanks anne i actually bought this book because of your recomendation ;). but wouldnt it make a fab gift for an aspiring photographer?
I am working on my photography with some frustration . . . thanks for the hopeful words and the good book recommendation.
Impromtu giveaways are fun.
Fondly,
Glenda
I so need this. If I'm not the weiner I promise not to be a whiner though I may have to "wine" just a bit to dull the disappointment! Many thanks!
I've always had a dream to be a fabulous "photographer". I would love a chance to have a book like this especially after seeing the wonderful photos you take!! Thank you!
~Trisha
I would love to learn how to take better pictures and to be able to do more with them once I have taken them. Sounds like this book would be the perfect learning tool. Thanks for recommending it, but better yet, pic me...lol.
Thanks & love your blog.
I need help in all areas of photography! Thanks for a sweet giveaway! Suzie purrpage3 at verizon dot net

Thanks

aka:tot
Who knows what doors would open to me if I could operate a camera!
I am a very amateur photographer who would like to finally get off AUTO mode on my DSLR. I could use this book for sure!
Sounds like a very needed book. I use auto - no flash - and haven't learned to edit! This sounds like a great book!
Oh, I do need this...between trying to learn about my camera and Photoshop I'm a wreck...so much to learn and so many things to do!!!!
I forced myself to never shoot on auto two years ago and I still don't have it down... so this is me, jumping up and down, spazzing out, saying,
"Pick me, pick me pick me!"
