My Cool Giveaway
Comments(15)
Well folks, here it is. My cool giveaway. I hope you are as excited as I am.
First, I have a little something for all of you, Dear Readers. Every one of you is a winner! Every single one, down to the shyest lurker on my site.
myPicturetown.com is an Internet site that allows you to backup all of your treasured photos and movies of your grandchildren, friends and family, trips to exotic places, and all of you other photographic endeavors. You get 2 GB of free storage capacity. (That’s one heck of a lot of storage space if you ask me!)
Not only can you store your photos, you can also share your pictures with others. No more clogging someone’s e-mail with copies of your pictures. You can create movies with your photos complete with backgrounds and styles, special effects, text, and music. Photos stored in your Picturetown can be shown on your blog, in Facebook, and Flickr. (Thought: this year, you might want to consider sending a digital Christmas card that you create with myPicturetown instead of the traditional snail mail version.) I’m thinking of having another contest where readers submit what they have created on myPicturetown . . .
Here is the promotional code where you can get 3 months free of a Gold Account on myPicturetown:
FREE3MTHS
So, hop over to myPicturetowon, sign up for the three free months, and enjoy!
Now for the cool giveaway . . .
Win a Nikon COOLPIX camera!
The folks at Nikon are allowing me to give away one Nikon COOLPIX S5100 camera!!
(See me clap my hands and jump for joy!) This is one sweet, sweet, camera, if you ask me.
Isn’t that the coolest thing ever?
(I told you this would be a cool, neat-o, rad — and every other similar adjective — giveaway!)
Here are some features of this camera:
- 12.2 megapixels
- 2.7 inch diplay with anti-reflective coating
- 5X wide-angle optical zoom lens
- stabilization to minimize the effect of camera shake
- best shot selector that automatically takes up to ten shots while the shutter is pressed and then selects and saves the sharpest image
- blink proof automatically takes two sequential shots and saves the one where everyone’s eyes are open (how cool is that??)
- blink warning that alerts you if someone has blinked (it would be going off all the time if used to take my picture . . .)
- you can take 720 high-definition movies in addition to still shots
All you have to do is leave a comment describing a photo that has significant meaning in in your life and why it is special to you.
This contest will close at midnight on Friday December 10. I will use random.org (to select the winner) and post the winning name Saturday morning!
Don’t wait! Hurry and post your comment now!

I have a family photo that we took last year around Christmas outside of the Salt Lake Temple at the pool of reflection. I love it because of the clear reflection of my family with the temple. It reminds me that because of the wonderful things that take place in our temples, I get to spend eternity with my family. And that is a truly wonderful thing.
I have a picture of my son that is special to me because it catches his sweet personality as he looks off to the side. It’s also special because my wife took it. So when I look at it, I think of my son and my wife.
I have so many wonderful and treasured pictures. But the one that brings the most happiness to me is a close up on my wedding day as I gaze into my sweet new hubby’s eyes! But I love taking pictures of my sweet little girl because she loves smiling! We definately need a new camera!
My favorite pictures are of my daughter. One of my favorites with her is her holding my hand and my wife’s hand as we are walking together in the fall weather.
I have a picture of the cat I had from 3rd grade through my early college years (gasp, did I just mention a picture of my cat instead of my human family?!) that, without a lengthy, boring, and somewhat depressing explanation, represents friendship, loyalty, comfort, and new beginnings.
I have a picture of my grandson holding his little sister and the look on his face made it feel as if he already knew her. It helps me understand a little more how eternity works.
I have two old, old photos that I love. One is my G-G-G-Grandfather at over 100 years of age, the other is of G-G-G-Grandmother and her six daughters. Mom left Ill. at an early age and settled here in CA. We visited there once when I was about 4, but other than that I’ve never really known her family as well as I’d like to, so these photos mean a lot to me.
I have a picture that has my grandpa, dad, sister, and niece. I like the fact that it has four generations in one shot. I have several pictures of my family that I enjoy, but that is one of my favorites.
One of my most treasured photographs is a three generation of my father-in-law, my husband & my son. I call it “The Three Calvins” because they all bear that same name.
I have to go with a picture I never liked, but it was always Mom’s favorite of us together. Now that she can no longer see it clearly due to her failing vision, it has so much more meaning to me.
What an exciting giveaway!!! I would love to win! Thank you for this opportunity!!! One of my favorite pictures is of my brother and me the last year we lived in Lincoln Nebraska. We are outside in the back driveway. We had built an igloo of all the snow (a record year at the time) Our dog is in the pic too. I recently had that old black and white picture reproduced and gave it to him for his birthday. Fond memories for a brother and sister!
My new favorite picture is one of my grandsons (2 1/2 and 10 mo.) taken over Thanksgiving by a professional photographer while visiting me from out of state. (The parents never had a professional photograph taken of the boys.) It will be sent to my son (their dad) who is serving in Afghanistan with the Army. The picture will be delivered on Christmas Eve to his e-mail account. I wish I could see the smile on his face when he opens the e-mail…..it can’t be any bigger than the one on Skype when he saw his boys on Thanksgiving after being gone just six weeks. I hope the picture will sustain him until he returns to his wife and sons in October of 2011. I know in years to come this picture will remind him of the sacrifices he made to serve our country and how much he missed his boys and their many milestones in the early years of their lives.
For me it’t the pictures of the animals that were so much a part of my life, especially since it has been many years now that I’ve lived in an apartment, without a pet. Most of all
When I was about 10 we moved into our first house and almost immediately wound up with three dogs from the shelters. “Snoops” was really “my dog” more than anyone else in the family, and every morning when Mom opened the bedroom door to wake me, he’d dash onto the bed and I’d be just about smothtered with doggy kisses. Sometimes I’d hide under the covers and he’d whine and dig at them until I came out again.
I love looking at the pictures of Snoops, but especially the one that’s just a closeup of him sniffing the camera, as that’s just about how I saw his nose coming at me every morning.
I just took a pict on my 5 year old insufficient camera (HINT HINT!) of Thanksgiving. We ate on the dining room table that is almost 100 years old. It was my husbands granmother’s. The china was also hers. My mom who taught me to cook was there. The grandkids made cookie turkeys after the meal. Family memories are always shared over meals. I like to take pictures whenever we are together, it preserves where we came from and how much fun we have on the way to wherever we are going! Too bad my camera is sub par (HINT! HINT!)
I grew up with a family tradition of off-roading. I continued to take the opportunities that came up to go to Moab, Utah throughout my college years. At the time I had a beautiful red Dodge Ram 1500 that was lifted and oversized tires. I got the truck out on this very picturesque point to get a photo of my truck. That picture has since been enlarged by family that loves me dearly and it now hangs proudly in my hallway.
