Don Giannatti at Lighting Essentials is starting up a monthly photo contest. This is the first month, and it looks like there are already some great submissions. This month’s assignment is portraits in an environment; “Show the subject’s relationship to the environment”. We are one of the sponsors by offering the second place winner with a free 16×20 glossy print. We are excited to see who wins!

You have until February 28th to submit images if you are interested. Please check out Lighting Essentials for all of the contest rules and details.

We have a wonderful sponsor, BorrowLenses.com and they will be awarding a grand prize of a weeks rental of any of their great photographic gear. Our wonderful sponsor, Artisan HD will be presenting a free 16×20 for second place and our third place will receive the Lighting Essentials 1 DVD.
