Photonetcast 4th Anniversary Giveaway!

Photonetcast has reached its 4th Anniversary!  To celebrate the occasion, they have decided to hold a very generous prize giveaway and photo contest!  They are offering up prizes totaling over $1,400 in value!

 

In the past year or so I have really gotten into listening to podcasts.  During that time, I have also found a love for photography.  These two interests have coincided for me with Photonetcast, an excellent photography podcast.  I went back and listened to all of the archived episodes that Google Listen could find.  I was instantly hooked.  The variety of guests discussing various topics related to photography has provided both entertainment and education.  I personally want to thank all the hosts and guests that have contributed to the high quality of Photonetcast.  I would recommend to anyone who is interested in learning more about photography to listen to every episode you can get your hands on of Photonetcast.

 

Additionally, anyone who is interested can check out my entry in this photo contest which is titled : The Snowy Street Lamp.

 

Here’s to four more years of Photonetcast!

Cheers!
