Think Tank Photo Rotation 360 – Review Sample Giveaway

By

I recently reviewed the remarkable Rotation 360 camera backpack from Think Tank Photo. It’s time to unload Photography Bay’s review sample to one of you guys.

Sure, it’s slightly used with a 9 mile hike under its belt and a few photowalks around town in order to put it through the paces for our review, but I assure you that it’s got plenty more miles left in it.  And, I promise it doesn’t smell bad ;-)

You want it?

Show us your best “hiking” themed images by following the directions below and we’ll cover shipping anywhere in the US. [Read more…]

Think Tank Streetwalker HardDrive Winner

By

The winner of the Think Tank Streetwalker HardDrive backpack giveaway was Alan Gornstein.  I asked Alan to share a little bit about himself as a photographer.  His reply follows:

I’m an old Nikon and Kodachrome hand. Love the technical end and used to develope my own slides and make Cibachrome Pro prints. Even mixed my own chemicals. After my kids talked me into a point and shoot, the Nikons were put in the display case, and I never looked back! The timing of this win couldn’t be better-I just got a G1 with the 15-45 and 45-200 lenses, and don’t have anything to put them in.

Thanks to everyone that took time to enter.  Also, a big thanks to Think Tank Photo for sponsoring the contest.

If you read the Streetwalker HardDrive review and are wanting to pick up some gear from Think Tank, remember that you can get extra gear for free if you spend more than $50 and order through this link for Photography Bay readers.

The current freebies include the following choices:

Some great entries are rolling into the Seagate Fall Photo Contest.  See them here in the Photography Bay Flickr Group Pool.

Don’t miss out on your chance to win a Seagate FreeAgent Go Drive by submitting your best “Fall” photo in accordance with the contest rules.  Seagate is giving 3 of these drives away.

You can learn more about the Seagate FreeAgent Go Drives here.  You can also connect with Seagate via their Facebook page and win a number of other prizes in the FreeAgent Inspires Locker Art Design Competition.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  Please don’t forget to read the rules.  Entrants may only submit one photo to the contest.  I’ve seen a few duplicate submissions and I would hate for anyone to miss out on the contest by doing this.  So long as they are removed by the time the contest closes, you will be ok.  Just don’t forget to remove the duplicate submission and post your single best photo.
