Energizer Ultimate Photo Contest & giveaway end june 4

Many photographers dream of seeing their images in the pages of National Geographic magazine, I know I would love to see my work in there. Now, through the third annual  Energizer Ultimate Photo Contest  , photo enthusiasts of all skills levels will have a chance to realize that dream. The winner will have their photo featured in the December issue of National Geographic magazine in an ad for Energizer® Ultimate Lithium batteries, and they’ll also be awarded the trip of a lifetime – a National Geographic Expedition for two to the Greek Isles.

Through Wednesday, June 30, aspiring photographers can visit National Geographic to enter one photo in each of six thematic categories: animals/wildlife, nature, travel, people/cultures, weather and action/energy. Whether you are a digital photography novice, a proud picture-taking mom or a long-time photo enthusiast, all skill levels are encouraged to enter. One of last year’s Category Winning photos was shot by a zoo employee on a regular point-and-shoot camera. So anybody could win!

After the entry period closes, Richardson will review all of the entries and select two finalists in each category. Then, from Aug. 17 through Sept. 15, Americans will be asked to go online and review each of the Category Finalists and vote for their favorite in each category. Once the Category Winners are determined, Richardson will help choose a Grand Prize Winner, to be announced on or about Nov. 4.  So head over and Enter Now you know I will be entering!

Energizer is giving one of my readers two 4-packs of AA and one 4-pack of AAA Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries ($33 value) Awesome.

    I looked at the Q&A with Jim Richardson, the National Geographic photographer, and he said if he could only take one lens with him, it would be a 18-200mm lens. I just got a digital SLR and am finding the standard lens doesn't always do what I want, and now I know what to look for.
