Just a BIG thank you to all of you following my blog. I hope you have all found my articles helpful in furthering your own photography skills just as I have learnt and incorporated some of your tips into my photographs. 

I've decided to celebrate the 200 follower mark not because it's considered a super massive number. More so that it's a small one. I definitely don't think I could have replied to all your comments and discuss photography techniques with each of you if there were a thousand of you. I'm glad I got the opportunity to get to know you, some of you more than others. If you do want some questions answered about anything you've seen so far, don't hesitate to ask. I'll continue to try my best to make beginner friendly tutorials and show you the world through my lens as I travel.  

Ok, now to the fun stuff..

Photography Competition

I like the idea of competition. I think a bit of healthy competition is good. Healthy being the operative word.. I'm not talking about your gladiator-style-fight-to-the-death competitions. Just a friendly one that will give those with great photography work the recognition they deserve. If you feel you've taken an absolute stunner of a photo that has gone under the radar, this will be a great opportunity. Alternatively this could be the biggest flop ever and there's like.. one entry.. in which case you just win by default.. Hey, winning is winning.

The Prize!

The winner will receive 10 SBD + Whatever This Post Makes in SBD. Yeah Boi! Thats right! 10 whole shiny new Steem Backed Dollars! Buy yourself something nice. Treat yourself to that Maccas meal you've been craving all afternoon or change it into dollar bills and make it rain. That's practically all I have in my wallet :P my posts haven't been making the thousands of dollars I would have liked to pay off my gold plated lambo, but it's never really been about the money. It's also the only way I can give something back to you for helping grow this steemit community. Without you, I wouldn't even have the 10 dollars!

The Rules!

1. Original Content: Kind of a given, but thought I'd say it anyway. You must have taken the photo and edited it yourself. Obviously if your friend took the photo and edited it, I'll have no real way to check that.. honesty policy
   
2. Follow me: This competition is for my followers, if you aren't already one, follow me to be eligible
   
3. UpVote this post with at least 30% of your voting power (gotta be in it to win it!)
   
4. Comment below with your photo and how'd you spend your 10+ dollars (it wont effect the competition, I was just curious to see if any one else had a really creative way to spend the winnings)

Thats it! After 7 days, I'll announce the winner and transfer your $$$. 

I look forward to seeing your entries! If you're super keen about winning I wouldn't resteem this one :P so ignore that part of the little outro below. But remember, the more people that enter, the higher the SBD gained in this post, so the higher the prize! Cash Money!

Good Luck!
