Hey guys we’re starting a monthly photo contest with different prizes every month! This months prizes are as follows:
1st place – Lensbaby Muse (Canon or Nikon Mount) lensbaby.com
2nd place – $50 printing gift certificate
3rd place – one free 20×30 Wide Format print (Luster paper)
The contest is NOT FREE TO ENTER! It is $5 to submit one photo and $7 to submit two photos and $10 for three photos. All images must be submitted as 8×10 or 8×12 prints for we feel that the true test of an image is the print. The last day to submit is May 30th. We will announce the winners on May 31st. The winners will then have their images framed and put up in our store as well as shared all over FBI’s web assets. The theme for this month is “The Arrival of Spring.” For questions, comments, or suggestions about our monthly photo contests feel free to email us at our new email specifically for the contests at fbiphotocontest@gmail.com

We here at FBI are toying with the idea of having a Lensbaby Weekend sometime in the next couple of months. What is Lensbaby Weekend you ask? The concept is that we have a three day seminar on a Friday, Saturday, and Sunday focusing on you getting your hands on a Lenbaby Composer plus some accessories for it and learning what it does, how it works, and what it could do for your photography. It would be limited to about 20 people. Each person would receive a Composer to use during the three days for either Nikon, Canon, or Sony DSLRs. Day one would be an introduction to the Lensbaby Composer and we would discuss and demonstrate the concept of what they do. Day two would be a guided outdoor shoot around the Asheville area with your Composer’s and accessories. And day three would be a friendly critique of what you feel were some your best images captured with your Lensbaby over the course of the weekend. At the end we would offer all participants of the seminar a discount on purchasing Lenbaby of their own. Were thinking $100 or so would be a fair price for all of this. What say you?
