Here are the results from my Bannack Shootout Contest. Thank you all for voting.

TIE FOR FIRST PLACE:
D – Jon Clare – Thane’s Profile .. and… A – Scott Hulme – Sara’s Eyes

Scott had a slight edge in the blog votes, but Jon won with the judges. So we will just call it an overall TIE FOR FIRST PLACE. They will both win either a YN-560 flash with stand, or a 160-LED continuous light, with stand. Congratulations, you two!

Prizes:

The judges also picked several other winners who will earn their pick of other great camera gear prizes that include a pistol grip tripod, deluxe backpack camera bag, reflector, book, sd card, etc. The prizes total more than $300 total. If you wish to help with this cause, simply use my Amazon links on my Gear Page here. If you link to Amazon through any gear link from my website, then subsequently purchase any item (vacuum, tissue, anything) Amazon adds about 6% to my affiliate program. The price is the same to you, but my students will get more gear. The key is to first use my link to get the Amazon page to open up, then you can search for any item and we get credit for your purchase. I donate 100% of the proceeds to buying camera gear for BYU-I Visual Comm students. Right now, I have been getting about half enough to cover these prizes, so THANK YOU!

Congratulations to all those who entered. The quality of all the entries was incredible and I am so pleased with how well all my students have done this semester. We had a blast at Bannack Ghost Town!
