I apologize for the long wait on this guys. We have decided on our winners and their winning photos for the XShot 2 contest. The winner of First Prize and $100.00 is John with his photo at the Washington Monument. look how the XShot enabled John to get not only two people but the entire monument itself. Awesome.
The winner of Second Place and $75.00 is Christine with her tribute to the Red Sox. Christine was able to capture herself and her surroundings with the XShot.
The winner of third place and $50.00 is Raesmom. She used her XShot to capture a bird’s eye view of her daughter in the yard. Beats having to get up on a ladder to get a shot like that.
Thanks to the participants. I appreciate your patience in finding out who won. I will contact you all soon with details on your winnings.
Photo-A-Day 921
Today we tried to get Baby Eva more sun so that we could clear up a little smidgen of jaundice. She’s totally great other than being a tiny bit yellow. So she lay there in the sun and I took Allison’s camera and took a bunch of shots of her in the sun. The way the lighting came out was really cool. the only thing I did to this image was crop it.
Today I went out and got my copy of the Transformers Movie on DVD. I got the special edition at Best Buy and it came with two special edition robot heroes characters, a battle damaged Optimus Prime and Cliffjumper. Both characters came out pretty sweet. I also got a Megatron Lithograph. I had signed up with Best Buy Reward Zone and had $25.00 in coupons plus a 10% coupon on top of that. I saved myself a couple of bucks. I also got the Wii game Acme Arsenal which features the Looney Tunes characters.
I did some other running around and was crazy coupon and gift card boy.
This afternoon I printed a bunch of pictures and blasted through a couple of ink cartridges. I also primed the walls of the new bathroom and painted the ceiling, tomorrow Allison and I will pick out the wall paint and I will tackle the trim. Tomorrow is also Eva’s first trip to the pediatrician. Well the first one while she’s been on the outside.
