Giveaway: The Key to Taking Pictures Like a Professional Photographer
Maybe you splurged on a digital SLR camera, imagining yourself taking dreamy photos like a pro. Except that you haven't quite gotten around to learning how, so your camera is permanently stuck on the auto setting. You know you can do better... but how? If that's you, Katie Evans' new e-book, The Key to Taking Pictures Like a Professional Photographer, will help you show that camera who's boss.
Katie writes in a conversational style that's friendly and accessible, and won't make you throw yourself off a bridge when you read about f-stops and shutter speeds. Topics include types of lenses, exposure, settings, lighting, how to get subjects to relax and act like normal people, composing pictures, and fixing up your photos using software. Some of my favorite tips are:
• How to get your subject's eyes to look sparkly instead of dull
• How to make a DIY clip for your camera's flash to minimize the harsh edges you usually get
• How to make a so-so photo great with a few editing tricks
Win a free copy
Katie is giving away five free e-books, each a $35 value. Want one? Leave a comment here with your email address or other way of contacting you. And mention something interesting you'd like to photograph. (I'm betting 70% of the answers will be kids, but we'll see.) Five winners will be selected, contacted, and announced in this post. Giveaway closes at midnight CT on Friday, Sept. 30th.
Get a discount
Interested in purchasing a book? Enter the code ORANGE at checkout and get $5 off the e-book, now through Oct. 7th.
Update: The giveaway is now closed. Congrats to lucky random winners Robyn, Britt, Jolkipalki, Rachel, and Jessica! They've been contacted and will be soon be taking better pictures.

This is a great giveaway! Thanks! We splurged on a DSLR because we had a 20month old and one due any day...and the Kodak easyshare wasn't cutting it for those priceless moments. We've had it for four months and it is stuck on auto. I want to photograph moments, not just faces. And I'd like to capture some things in nature to use as art in my home.
I would love to be able to take great shots of food. No kids yet, so right now all my energy goes into cooking.
i qould love it much.
I would love this book. I have just saved up for a decent camera and really like the style this is written in!

I need to photograph my growing belly! I'm pregnant, not trying to get fat. And of course I want pictures of my existing family as well. Mostly, I want to learn how to make indoor pictures look their best. We can't always get outside, so how do we work around that?
fullertonregan (at) yahoo (dot) com
I'd love to learn to photograph food!
hamalinowski at gmail dot come
What a great giveaway! Yes, I splurged on a SLR camera a few years back, and unfortunately, it's still in the auto setting. This book would be so helpful in so many ways!
How fun! Would love to take pics of the family, of course. But the dog is another favorite of mine! ;)
Lovely giveaway! I want to learn to take better photos of my quilts and other sewing projects. Oh, and my kids, or course.
Of course kids, but I love pictures family interaction...like Thanksgiving when everyone is there.

Great giveaway! I would love to take better photos of people. I'm moving to Portland and would love to take some great photos of the city and architecture that I would be proud to hang on my walls.
We are on a tiiiiight budget right now. I had hoped to take a photography class, but it's looking like my year long dream for that may not happen :( This book would be a great (an probably equally amazing) alternative. I sure hope I win! It would make my year!
I want to photography my family (which includes kids, grin), but also some clever nature scenes and off-beat "a day in the life" photos
Thank you again for another great giveaway!

I'm going on vacay with my beau and will be visiting Arizona for the first time ever! Would love to have this book!

rosuka@gmail.com
I'm part of the 70% - pics of the kids all the way!
You totally described me! I bought a Nikon D3000 last summer and I still have no idea what to do with it. I'm going to Zambia in February on a mission trip, and I HAVE TO learn how to use it by then. So, I guess I would like to learn how to photograph the African bush!
I love photos without faces. I want to capture my daugther's whispy hair, and tiny toes before she grows up.

I'd like to improve my food photography skills so I can put together a really snappy lookin' cookbook of all our family recipes
TheDogMaxwellEdison (at) gmail
I'm definetly from the group of 30% not saying "my kids" - because I have non. I'm a 22 year old student, travelling the world, loving nature, animals & all those humans and cultures I meet while my journeys. I'd love to capture those moments in a way that everybody taking a look at it will feel like 'I have been there'. I see such photographies a lot but can't get such results on my own. I hope that this eBook would help me with that!
Looking forward to your next posts & best wishes

Wow, just a book for our family...

You're right, I'd love some help with taking great photos of my kids.
chellelee7{at}gmail.com
I think every photographer would agree that there is always something to learn. Since photography is an art, it is so largely subjective. I love seeing and learning about what makes a photo beautiful to others and in doing so broaden my palette of what I find pleasing to my eye. I would love to win this book. Thanks, again, for doing this, Orange!
i was going to say my kids, but i want to be in the 30%, so i'm going to say nature. :) i love taking pictures of flowers. would love to win this. i still haven't left my camera's auto mode.

marieke.matthe[at]gmail[dot]com
Sounds like this would be super helpful. I recently purchased a nikon DSLR and it's pretty different from the SLR I learned on years ago. I'd like to become more confident using it on trips. I get great photos now, but want to take them to the next level.
I'd love to get some good photos of my dog - she's black, so she's hard to photograph!

This e-book looks like just the ticket for me. I've just ventured away from auto settings on my new DSLR in an attempt to get more creative and artsy with my photography. I also like to do family portraits for my friends.
tinydancer3856 at yahoo
Love it, I'm exaclt y the person you talk about. Nice camera, no idea how to use it!
Yup, my kid...but also my dogs!

Paola
I would love this! Hmm...I think I'd photograph evening scenes without a ton of blur and nature/landscape scenes in an interesting way. It's tough to get those shots right, and maybe this can help me!! Also, I'd love to attempt to keep up with my crazy good photographer of a sister. :)
laurajean3 at gmail.com
I want one! I'm a terrible photographer, but I *want* to be good! My hubby is actually a pretty fair hand--er, eye--at it, so he'd probably get more out of it than I would. My kids would, of course, be my main subjects, but we have some stunning scenery around here that I'd love to capture.
I can always use more tips - especially that tip on how to reduce the harsh on-board flash - that's worth $30 right there!
I'd like to start doing more self-portraits, as vain as that sounds! I take pictures of everyone else but I'm never in them!
shanghaicowgirl dot m at gmail dot com
That looks great! I would love to win one :)
There are so many things I want to photograph, but I would especially like to get better at taking pictures of my friends and of food.

I also want to take better pictures of different people in my life, of the different places I visit (even if it's in my own garden, a nearby city, or a nearby park), of different things in my home or of flowers or insects or of any other thing that strikes me or inspires me!
Thank you for such a great give away!

This IS a great giveaway! I've avoided splurging on an SLR because I wouldn't know how to use it. If I win this, I'll DEFINITELY buy an SLR. My favorite two things to take photos of are flowers and dead umbrellas. I can't pass up any opportunity, even if I'm running late, or threaten to get soaked or struck by lightning, to snap a shot of a sad, torn, forgotten, discarded, suicidal, or just simply dead umbrella. Every picture and every dead umbrella tells a story! I would love to win this book to take enough new pictures to publish my OWN book! audrey dot lapiner at gmail dot com
I would probably just take more pictures of my crazy cats...
my cat; if I could ever get her to sit still long enough!
I'd love to be able to use light more effectively in my photos! I love dramatic lighting, but it's hard to too when you don't know what you're doing.
This would be fantastic! I would love to be able to take better pictures of my nieces and nephews!

Count me in! I just like to take pictures of all the places we go. I have a great camera, but unfortunately most of the time I use auto. And even when I don't, I just adjust random things until I like what's happening.
I have been so close to ordering this book, I would share it with my father who has taken many great pictures of my childhood and is now trying to get used to his new DSLR as am I! thanks for your great blog! I love to photograph things from the unexpected angle! Leanne

merribell @ bellsouth dot net
I love taking pictures of everything :)
My kid is my best subject to shoot. Other than that, I love nature, or rather the details of nature that some folks don't pay attention to that makes the best photograph.
my honemoon! we're heading to London & Paris soon.
Plus food for my blog
I would love a chance to win this book, it looks fantastic, I bet it's got lots of yummy tips on photography I've never read before. I would use this book to fine tune my skills on which lens to use for what, I never have any idea on what works best for which situations.

I would like to take better pictures of dogs in shelters so that they get adopted more frequently. Most of the photos they use are such bad quality they do not do the dogs justice.
My favourite things to photograph are those unique things I come across when I get lost :) Oh...and anything under a fisheye is awesome.
I would LOVE to win this book. I bought a digital SLR when my first child was born...and totally intended to take a class...but, it's now 4 yrs and 3 kids later and my setting is still almost always on auto. I NEED to learn to use my camera better! I would love to learn to take frame-worthy pics of my own kids/family.

I would love to win! I love photography and am just picking it up as I am a new mama....Crossing my fingers! kristin.hallak@gmail.com
i'd like to photograph my flat (apartment), namely my turret. We've just had to reluctantly rent it out whilst we move from the east to the west coast for three years for my studies (this sounds very dramatic till I clarify that I mean 'of Scotland' so it's only 60 miles, but in Scotland that is ENORMOUS....Edinburgh and Glasgow are different worlds).
I'd love a classy pic of my beloved flat to keep me company in Glasgow these next few years, but everything I've tried comes out all dull and boring....
I know the manual settings on my DSLR pretty well, but need some go-to tricks to compose photos better and take more professional-looking shots. I take millions of photos of my daughter, but want to take better photos of her with her grandparents, her dad, and our kitties!
Thanks for the giveaway, my fingers are crossed! erinsenge (at) gmail (dot) com
I would love to win this book for my husband who dreams of becoming a photographer. I just dream of getting better (definitely am a one setting person at the moment) and being able to take pictures of our new home in France, built in 1700! tara dot champetier at ldcom dot com.
I would just love to win this e-book. I have been starting to dabble in photography, but mainly sights when traveling (or even local sights). I love using my photos as art in my home. Thanks!

I would love to better photograph my crafts so I can post them on my future blog. Thanks for such a great giveaway!
This is super! While currently childless, I do anticipate photographing my children in the future. In the meantime, however, I love to photograph my handmade greeting cards and artwork as a reminder of the things I have created and for inspiration when I have crafter's-block.
This would be an awesome asset! I prefer landscape photos, but I would love to learn techniques to take other types as well. Thanks for sharing!
