Beyond Snapshots – a giveaway

One of the things on my to do list before having this baby was buying the book Beyond Snapshots and learning how to get off auto on my lovely camera. I’ve been wanting to do it since before I had Elodie. I love my camera (an Olympus E-620), I love using it but seriously how long am I going to stay on auto function. So yesterday at blogopolis copies of Beyond Snapshots were for sale and I grabbed one for myself and one for my lovely readers. And I had it signed by the lovely Rachel Devine who co-wrote the book with Peta Mazey.

  1. I love taking photos of our holidays and now that we have 6 grandchildren I thoroughly enjoy taking snaps of them. I just have a regular Canon Digital camera but would love one of these.

  2. I am yet to buy a DSLR but it’s on my wish list. We are about to embark on a working trip around the country and would love to get some great photos for my new blog along the way. Any tips greatly appreciated :)
    Cheers
    Anne

  3. lucky entry number 3! Love the idea of this book, I very much need it.

  4. What a great book. We are off our first more than 3 day holiday in 12 years. I would love some tips to help record our trip, the ever growing kids and my 40th birthday

  5. That’s exactly what i’m trying to do now, using manual.

    I take heaps of photos, the good ones end up on my blog.

    Having some success and many failures, this would be an awesome help.

  6. That looks like the perfect book for me. I have a small custom knitting business and I blog about my life and also to showcase my knitting. I also stick with using the auto function on my camera, but would love to learn how to get the most from my camera and make my photos look professional as well as giving my blog a bit of zing.

  7. I have two stunning babies and I need to capture their world and mine.
    Thank you for the chance to enter!

  8. Occasionally I venture away from the auto setting on my camera but I have no idea what I am doing, I’m sure this book would be a big help.

  9. I love my DSLR… I do know how to use more than just the auto mode… I know how to use “no-flash” too… Ha ha ha… I would love a book like this to inspire me to use more than one of these two modes!

  10. Hi Corrie,
    Am going to seek this book out. I’ve been game enough to move over to manual mode but with 6 cherubs haven’t yet discovered exactly what I’m supposed to do. Sometimes I capture good things – more luck than skill at this stage! You can take a glimpse of our large family love (6 kids here!) at mcarthurverandah.blogspot.com.au
    Cheers Ainsley

  11. Learning to take better photographs is on my ‘to do’ list. I was given a ‘proper’ camera before my son was born…and still haven’t work out how to use it properly!

  12. I’m a little embarrassed to admit that I’ve only ever used my DSLR camera on auto settings! My photos usually turn out okay but it’d be great to know how to make them better!

  13. I am another who needs to learn to get of the auto ! Good luck with the impending birth :)

  14. This looks like a lovely book. I would love to win because I don’t have the patience for professional shoots with my boys but it seems a waste if a camera to us auto all the time x

  15. I love taking photos with my SLR of my two beautiful children, but like you I want to move off the auto function too! What a great giveaway!

  16. Your a lovely thoughtful woman Corrie. This book would be a great help to me, and if I don’t win it I will biputton it because although I have had my flash camera for a few years I still use auto. My kids are grown now but I want to take pics of my first grandchild due in 8 weeks.
    Thanks Corrie

  17. The book sounds like something I need. My husband brought me a SLR for Christmas 2 years ago and I only know how to use it on auto :-(

  66. I used to have a passion for photos in the days prior to digital. I had a SLR and lenses etc. But am too phased by digital so I do leave it all on auto. Would love to change that. Thanks Karen. http://www.madewithmytwohands.blogspot.com

  96. It would be great to receive this book because I must take 100 photos a day of my 3 kids but i’m no good at it. Would love to be able to take some quality pics rather than having huge quantities of rubbish ones :(

  97. Hi Corrie!!!! I want to win the book because I know I need it!!!! I really want to improve my photography skills…..they are too too basic.Thanks!

  98. Thanks for the opportunity! I have been shooting on manual for some time now but I still “panic” and add some in auto “just in case they don’t turn out”. I definitely need help :)

  99. This comment has been removed by the author.

  100. I too need to get off “auto” – seems a common problem. Thank you for the opportunity Corrie to be in the running for a copy of this fabulous book! Love your blog! :)

  101. I would love this book!!! I am due with my first baby in October and would love to be able to get some nice photos of her.

  102. We (our entire family) have just given my sister-in law a whiz bang camera for her “good grief, a new decade” birthday. This is just the book she needs! I’ll keep an eye out for it!

  103. Wow – is there anything you don’t do Corrie? You always seem to amaze me; your generosity, thoughtfulness for your gorgeous family and your readers, your home baking and crafting even whilst expecting baby no. 5.
    I don’t know how you find the time and energy. You are truly are an inspiration!

    The book looks amazing, thanks for the chance to win it.
    I inherited the love for photography from my father and aunty and don’t go a day without taking a photo. Unfortunately I have an amazing camera that my husband gave me but I too still have that problem of not being about to take it off ‘auto’! This book would surely make for an insightful read.

    Also I wanted to thank you for your blog. It’s because of you I have taken interest in the amazing thing called a thermomix and knitting. I grew up sewing but never knitting so I’m teaching myself now.

    Thank you and good luck with the impending baby arrival!

    Hannah

  104. This book would be a godsend for my husband and me. We have just bought a DSLR camera to take photos of our Granddaughter and auto is how we use it:0(

  105. Oooh! what a great looking book – and so useful! I neeeed all the help I can get! Thanks for the chance to win!

  106. I once was a scrapbooker. As soon as I stopped scrapping away went my camera, I look back through photos now and feel so sad there a big chunks of time missing where I have gone for months without ever getting the camera out. I really need to get motivated and learn to take some lovely photos worthy of printing and maybe one day scrapping. I think it will be so sad of all my 4 children have a files on a disk instead of actually photos to look through.

  107. I love taking photos and would love to be in the running for this awesome prize :)

  108. For 7 years I have used my DSLR on Auto. It really is time to get off it and use the other features my camera has to offer. Thank you for this great give away and good luck with the arrival of number 5.

  109. I borrow photography books often from the library….and never read them! They all look so technical. I would love some practical tips, especially for taking quality pics of the kids. This book looks like it speaks my language. Thanks for the chance. Blogopolis looked amazing BTW, I enjoyed your tips.

  110. Yes, please! I’ve got the fancy DSLR and need to learn to make better use of it, too.

  111. Please – I have a quick shoot camera but 25 years ago I loved working in SLR mode. I need to get my skills back.

  112. Ahhh – this is one of the reasons I love your blog. You always seem to come up with ideas and suggestions that mirror my life!! I have been playing around with the settings on my camera and have had some success, as well as some disastrous results!

  113. I need this book. I scrimped and saved a couple of thousand for a DSLR and all it’s trimmings and most of the time I am scared to take it off the manual settings because I don’t trust myself enough

  114. With four kids, taking an acceptable photo takes an effort akin to herding cats. Would love to be able to have nice portraits.

  115. Oh Corrie, I have a couple of books on photography, am happy to loan you for a read – next time I am over remind me – I love photography books, would love to be in the draw. I’m a sponge when it comes to books, love to soak up knowledge and every little bit counts when trying to get off auto on your camera.

  116. I need to get off auto too. I’d like to be able to teach myself how, this book looks ideal!

  117. I would love this book. I’ve fallen victim to the ease of my iPhone so would dearly love to haul out my beautiful digital camera and explore the potential within (mmm in me or the camera!).

  118. Oohh. I am stuck on auto too! Would love to switch but too scared I’ll miss a moment and take a dodgy pic! Would love this book.

  119. I’d love to win this book.. simply because I need it. There is way too much room for improvement with my photography skills!

  120. I’ve done a one day course on using manual settings but would love this book so the info will sink in!! lol

  121. Am just like you. Have a canon digital SLR and need to learn how to get off auto too!
    Lucy

  122. Photo book sounds fun! Contest sounds fun! I need more FUN!

  123. I am a huge bimbo because I couldn’t find the stall where the books were! I looked and gave up.
    I’m kicking myself for it now.

  132. I too just want to switch off that Auto button, three years down the track after purchasing my camera!!!!

  133. My DSLR isn’t stuck on AUTO, but it is stuck on A & F1.8, it seems that is all I shoot in. I need to learn some new tricks so would love to win this book.

  134. What beautiful photos! I’ve done a WEA camera course and yet still shoot mostly on auto. Like you I just never seem to get the time to play (and I have one less kiddo and no baby on the way LOL!)

  135. Oh, yes I would love to move beyond ‘auto’. I even bought a tripod with that progress in mind. Alas, I now take pictures on the tripod with the flash held down – because it pops up on auto:)

  136. OMG this is the book for me. i have a beautiful Canon DSLR that still only gets used in auto. I’m gonna buy that book if dont win.
    Thanks for opportunity

  137. Thanks for the wonderful competition. I take lots of photos and do a lot of scrapbooking to display them. Great looking book!

  138. Siince having my first child 2.5 years ago the vast majority of my photos are of my children and I would love to get better at taking GOOD photos of them.

  139. Oh honey, just an endorsement rather than an entry as i bought the book too at Blogopolis after Rachel’s incredible talk on photography – what i love is that the two photographers who wrote this book . . . on uses NIkon, the other Canon, one uses Mac, the other PC, so it COVERS EVERY BASE!! It’s so unbias, easy to read & simple to follow, yet brilliant manual for your camera. Good luck everyone, love Posie

  140. Corrie

    I have a Fuji S6500 it’s not a DSLR I have not spent the money on one as I have never managed to get up the confidence to take this camera off auto – maybe this can help me build up confidence and then I can make that all important DSLR purchase without guilt !

    Thanks again for all your inspiration – got me back into knitting and cooking just a little more (I work fulltime) and sometimes did not find the time with two busy children.

    Thanks again

  144. I have 3 littles ones and a DLSR… and no idea how to take great photos!

  145. Learning to use my DSLR has been on my list of things I want to achieve this year, but everything I have looked at has been so dry. That book looks fabulous and would be a great help!

  146. Like everyone else I love taking pictures of my family and desperately want to get off of Auto! This book looks like it might give me the courage to try. Thanks for the giveaway.

  147. i want to take better photos of my lovely children!

  148. I am with you on this one Corrie. My hubby bought me a new camera for the birth of our first baby and now 6 years later and 3 kiddies I am still using the auto. Photography is one thing I would love to do better especially with all these great tutes on how to make your own canvus prints. Fingers, toes, arms and legs crossed lol

  173. I’ve been eyeing off this ever since she did a signing at my local bookshop. Please let me win, my extended family would be thrilled to have more photos to show off!

  174. Thanks for another great giveaway. I invested in my first DSLR about 18 months ago, I’m yet to have the courage to take it off manual and would really love to. I take so many pictures of my kids & family and would love to be able to use my camera to its full potential.

  175. With my 3rd about to enter the world through my first c-section, and having never taken a camera into the labour and delivery room, this is the ultimate time to learn to get out of auto mode! My husband is not the best photographer and as long as the camera ‘on’ light is lit, he thinks it’s ready!

    This would be a great read in the days leading up to the scariest (at the moment) thing I’m about to do

  176. With the birth of my first child I really want to be able to capture the wonder that is our little family.

  177. Ooh, that looks like a great book! I would love this book because I want to venture out of “Auto” land :)

  178. A photo captures more than a moment, it captures a memory!

  180. I would love to win this! I’ve always had a camera in my hand ever since I got my very first one at aged 15. (so that’s 7 years so far!) But I also tend to keep it on auto, or if I do try to play with the settings it just never turns out. I’d love to learn to get my camera off auto!

  181. I’ve a good camera..and i too would love to get it off auto?!

  182. Thank you for the opportunity!
    I’d love this book because I keep trying to “get off auto” bout I don’t really know what I’m doing so I tend to always miss the decent shots when I’m experimenting, and losing good shots with kids gets me all frustrated so then I switch back to auto again -would love to figure out what I need to do so I can actually switch into manual “and” make the shot count! Thanks!
    And not long now for you!

  183. would love to take better photos of my new grandaughter

  184. Hopefully I can score myself an early birthday present to go with my new camera… previous one lost by our 2yo. Also, you’re not the only one still on Auto.

  185. Greetings! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are
    you using for this site? I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  186. How could I sign up for your posts by e-mail?
    I like getting brand new articles sent directly to my inbox whenever
    possible; keeps me from needing to check over 3
    dozen different websites daily, is this doable?

  187. I would love to own this, I think this would help me with starting off in photography!
