The Results Are In! October 2010 Photo Contest

November 4, 2010 in Contest, Inspiration, Photo Review, Photography

This has been a special month for the photo contest here on the blog. Not only did I have the good fortune to team up with NAPP to get a sweet prize from my friend Matt Kloskowski, Matt served as our guest judge this go ’round! Thank you to everyone over at NAPP for the generous donation of the prize and a huge thank you to Matt for taking the time to go through and judge this month’s entries!

I know it was a hard decision, as it always is, because my readers can come up with some amazing photos. Even there could only be one winner, I want to congratulate all of those who submitted photos on some truly great work!

So, without further ado, the winner of a signed copy of Matt’s new book, Layers: The Complete Guide to Photoshop’s Most Powerful Feature, Second Edition is:

I’d like to start off by thanking everyone who responded to Wednesday’s post about continuing to build our Photoshop & Photography Community. I truly appreciate you taking the time to share a little bit of your stories with everyone. If you haven’t shared yet, please do! I’d love to hear from as many of you as possible!

There is a lot going on over the next couple of weeks through the beginning of May – personally, here on the blog, and across the digital imaging industry.

4 Exciting Photo-Related Plans in the Works

March 23, 2010 in Contest, Guest Blogger, Inspiration, News, Personal, Photography, Photoshop, TJM Media Group

With all the attention in the photo industry focussed on what’s going to be happening down in Orlando this week at Photoshop World it can be easy to forget about all the other great things going on in other regions of the community. Now, I love Photoshop World and NAPP and I look forward to when I can make my way back to one soon. But I want to make sure you are all aware of some really cool plans coming up here at Jason D. Moore Photography.

New Page Added: Kudos

March 3, 2010 in Inspiration, Personal, Photography, Photoshop

Not trying to blow my own horn, or anything, but I compiled a number of quotes that some of my fellow bloggers and fans have had to say about my work here on the blog and about my photography as well.

You can check out what they have to say over on a new page called “Photo Quotesin my “About” section. It is, by no means, a complete listing and I’m sure I’ll add to it as we go.

Thank you to everyone who has shared such amazing words of encouragement and support over the years! I truly appreciate it and it keeps me going – especially when I fall into a rut that I don’t think I can get out of.

I’ve Been Invited!

So You Think You Can Teach Photoshop?!

September 4, 2009 in Contest, Inspiration, Personal, Photography, Photoshop, Tutorials, Video

So, You Think You Can Teach Photoshop?!

Yes I do!

I came across a tweet the other day from @NAPP_News about a new contest running through the end of October seeking video entries all about Photoshop tutorials. I don’t really enter a lot of contests but I just couldn’t pass this one up.

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I am hoping to get back into the routine of producing video tutorials and this contest seems like a perfect opportunity to get started once again. I can enter up to 3 videos, to their specs, for a chance to win a healthy prize package. There’s some subscriptions and memberships in there but what really makes me want to enter is the opportunities that come along with winning. The winner will be sent to Photoshop World (ticket, flight, and hotel) where you will be given an instructors chair to teach at one of the sessions. The winner will also get a guest spot on Photoshop User TV, Layers TV, visibility in Photoshop User Magazine, PlanetPhotoshop.com and to the entire NAPP community. The exposure alone could be huge!

I’ve been through all of my Photoshop tutorial videos and I’ve decided to start from scratch for my entries. I now have some really nice audio equipment that I didn’t have before which will make a big difference.

At this point, I just have to figure out what to do the videos on. I’ve got a couple of ideas but I’m open to your suggestions. I don’t know how I’ll do in the contest – I know there are some great teachers out there – but I’m going to give it my all and hope for the best!
