I am happy to announce that B&H Photo Video is giving away a $250 gift card prize in a B&H contest (see rules below). The winner will be announced after our last photography workshop (18th of June, 2011).
In addition, Lola and I are planning to give away a couple of great prizes to those who make it to the workshops. Please make sure to glance at our schedule update post periodically, as some of the details might change. I will be emailing those who signed up in advance and will let you know if there is a change of venue or time, etc.
So far we have had one small workshop called “Introduction to Photography Workshop” at the Roxborough State Park and although we did not have a chance to record the session, it went great and we went through the photography basics in approximately 4-5 hours. The next two workshops will be conducted this coming weekend, on June 11th and 12th (Landscape and Portrait/Wedding Photography) and the final workshop will take place on June 18th (Flash Photography).
Here are the B&H Contest Rules:
- Post a comment below with a list of items you would buy from B&H. Something like “I would love to buy a Nikon 50mm f/1.4G lens with a filter” or you can put a list of the gear you want to buy as a list.
- Make sure to use your real email address in the contact form – otherwise we won’t be able to get in touch with you.
- The contest is open to anyone – the gift card number will be emailed to the winner.
- You do NOT have to buy the items you list in your comment from B&H.

If I ever ran into some unexpected money I would definitely use it towards the Tokina 11-16 mm f2.8 as I have had my eyes on that for awhile now, as it will complete my focal lengths I am missing, plus it did just go up in price by 60$ in April :(
I’ve been using a Nikkor 35mm f1.8, love it but it’s not mine! I need one…bad, oh and a b+w uv to keep that gem safe.
Nikon 24-120mm f/4 would be a good addition to my Nikon D7000, which I also got from B&H.
I would love to buy the D90 along with the kit lens, the 50mm 1.8G and a Tamron
70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di LD Macro. Purely amateurish…but thats all I honestly need to do what I want to do with my dream machine, the D90 :)
I would love to buy the Nikon 70-200 AFS VRII and a Nikon D700 and maybe another Nikon SB 900 for a strobe.
If the sun shines more to my side , I would most definetely buy Fujifilm Finepix HS20EXR Digital Camera (Black) and use it for family photos, scenery, travel…..
I’ve just become a happy owner of Nikon D3100 with kit and 55-200mm zoom lenses. The next items in my wish list are: 60mm f/2.8 macro lens, mount flash, and a good tripod. Photography is a great journey, hope to be learning and experimenting more!

Hi Nasim,
Thanks for the “Introduction to photography” session. I learned many things from it. You know what I am slowly advancing from AUTO to APERTURE mode. I am slowly feeling comfortable with aperture mode. I did try few things and did see the improved results.
See you at the potrait/wedding session.
I got my D90 and couple of lenses from B & H. So far I have been happy with their prices and service.
If I get lucky I would like to buy SB-700 Speedlight shoe mount.
I’d like to buy a Nikon D7000 and a SB-900 Speedlight.

Please let buy 50mm f/1.4G B and H they got everything.
humm–a tough one. i use my 70-200 2.8 VR so much that i really want to upgrade it to the VR2
but i’d also love a 35 mm lens or the new 50 mm out as well.
so many things to dream about!
There’s a long list, but first, I would like to buy a polirizing filter for my 70-300mm and also ND filter. The two lenses I dream about are the 70-200 2.8 and the 35mm!
I would buy my dream lens – Nikon 70-200 2.8 VR & Nikon Telephoto AF Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G
Yea, I would love to get a Nikon 17-55f2.8 or get in past to order Tokina 16-50 f2.8 which is more affordable instead of Tamron 17-55 with vibration resistance for my D50. Soft compare to Tokina lenses that I have…
I’m saving for the new nikon 800 camera. I love my camera but I’m aching for a full frame with the 50mm 1.4 lens.
My wish list is long, but near the top has to be the Nikon 85mm prime lens.
I want to replace my D90 with a D3S or perhaps wait until the D4 is available. Regardless, I need a new camera so I will be buying one of these camera bodies. Thank you!! Cheers.
