POWER DAY! CameraBag2

GIVEAWAY

I’m squishing all the giveaways into one giant day of glittering awesomeness. Are you ready for this jelly? This yummy jam is all for you….one day with many many freebies – so check back often to heavy breathe and eye fondle these goodies. I’m dubbing it the Giveaway Power Day…like the dance – it’s electric!

It’s plain as day that I have a thing for my camera.  It’s deep in my loins people.  Not the camera.  That would be gross.  The love that I have for taking photos…that’s deep….deeper than my loins…deeper than my cells…it’s like in my very essence.  That’s deep.  So it comes as no surprise that I was really excited when the fine folks at NeverCenter contacted me to review their new CameraBag2 product.  It’s basically software….but EASY….like beginners software with extreme results for your photos.

Seeing as how today is the last day to enter their camera giveaway – I thought I would do y’all a favor and give you a heads up to get your hineys over there and enter to win.  Yup – the Power Day isn’t supposed to start till tomorrow but that would be too late to win a camera just like mine.  That’s right – they are giving away a Canon 5D Mark II to one lucky winner.

But back to the software – it’s kinda like Photoshop but geared toward photographers who like to have fun with their photos.  It gives you the ability to change things REALLY easily…with drastic results.  It’s purely addicting.  And did I mention the filters?  It comes with filters…loads of them…and so you can make one photo into endless pieces of art!

Here’s what’s up for grabs:

  • PRIZE : Free Full License ($30 value) to CameraBag 2
  • DESCRIPTION:  The new CameraBag2 features a full suite of photographic tools, from simple exposure and cropping to advanced vignetting, color correction, and curves.  You can watch their trailer here.
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS : (5) FIVE!
  • TO ENTER : Leave a comment with the phrase ”In the Bag!” and for clicks, tell me – what’s your favorite piece of photography equipment?  A tripod?  A certain lens or body?  A software program?  Anyone love their extra battery?!
  • PRIZE SHIPS : Anywhere!
  • NITTY GRITTY : This giveaway ends on Saturday, May 31st 8am EDT. Only one contest entry per email address. The winners will be chosen using Random.org and emailed to claim their prize.

  1. In the bag!

    I’m still very much an amateur photographer so I’d say my extra battery! It is pretty nifty… the first one I have had that is rechargeable that doesn’t lose it’s charge. It’s a step up from the rechargeable kodak batteries that worked for about 5 minutes!!

  6. In the bag!
    My favorite thing is a good subject- my dog and fiance work quite well 🙂

  8. In the bag! I really don’t have much, just a camera and photoshop…but I guess I couldn’t have photos without my camera! So that’s my fave.

  9. It’s in the bag if I can get this in time for my graduation! Best camera accessory for me is a really big memory drive. Mine holds up to about 5,000 photos and it always helps when I’m out and want to take lots of photos 🙂

  10. In the Bag! I love my spare battery, especially when Im off tramping (hiking) in the back blocks of NZ.

  11. In the Bag!

    My favorite piece(s) of camera equipment are the filters – polarizer, red filter for black/white photos can make such a difference!

  12. In the Bag!

    I love the custom camera strap – so cute – but my hubs is high on the tripod he picked up at a garage sale last weekend for $5.

  14. In the bag! Our favorite piece of photo equipment is the trigger that lets us take family pictures.

  17. In the bag!! I’m not fancy enough to have accessories, but if I win this program will be my new favorite accessory 🙂

  18. In the Bag! I love love love my extra battery. Actually, I have 2 extra batteries. And they are great for those times when I run out of juice but still want to capture my moments.

  19. In the Bag!

    My favorite photo equipment is the Nikkor 18-200mm VR lens, it’s a versatile lens adaptable to many situations.

    Katie – just a note that the camera giveaway link seems broken.

    Cheers!

  21. In the bag, my favorite piece of equiptment would have to be battery grip… I always run low when taking pictures without it 🙂

  22. YES I would love to win this. 🙂 My fav piece of photo equipment is my VERY FIRST DSLR which I love probably more than I should. But. I don’t have an editing program and have been using pixlr for free online until I can bite the bullet and commit to something. So you see? This giveaway was meant to be! 🙂

  24. In the bag! My favorite piece of equipment is my 300mm lens – it’s nice to be able to take some shots from a distance (like of wild animals and the moon….).

  26. In the bag! I’m a yearbook teacher- I love our telephoto lens, especially for football photography and such!

  27. In the bag! I don’t have any professional equipment, so I would say online editing tools! All the look without the equipment and skills!

  31. In the bag! My fav piece of equipment is my 50mm lens – so versatile I hardly ever take it off!

  32. In the bag!

    Favorite photography equipment: my almost bottomless SD card. I’m still a beginning photographer, so the only way I can capture “the moment” is by taking ALL of them! For instance – when my dog, Charlie, decided a try out on the roof when I was sweeping. Yup, the ROOF (there’s a dog pun in there, somewhere). Instead of my maternal instincts kicking in, I thought, “I gotta get this shot!”

  33. in the bag!

    my favorite program is adobe lightroom. but besides that, can i say that the iPhone 4s takes amazing pictures?? love instagram!

    rachael

  34. I tried to enter the camera contest but it said there was a mistake in the link. It may just be my computer. I’ve tried it several times though.

  35. ”In the Bag!” Photoshop is the only euipment I have to go with my rebel 2Ti nd I love it!

  36. In the bag

    The USB cord to upload the photos on to the computer! It’s the best part!

  44. In the bag! If I can’t pick the actual camera, my fav piece of equipment is the tripod! Couldn’t do family photos without that thing…so glad the days of precariously stacking up books on furniture to get my camera to juuuusssttt the right height are in the past!

  45. In the Bag!

    I’m a camera newbie (just got my camera for Xmas) so I have no equipment yet 🙁 But this photography software sounds amazing and right up my alley!

  46. In the bag!!! I am just getting into photography for fun, but love my Canon Rebel!

  47. In the bag!

    Since I’m just using a point and shoot my favorite part is my subject! Which is usually my husband or lil one year old baby girl! 🙂

    Can’t wait to upgrade my camera though…

  48. It’s in the bag! I just started using my camera, but I love how long the battery lasts and the playing nifty fifty lense.

  49. In the bag!!! My favorite pieces of photography equipment include my Canon Rebel T2i (I am a beginner), my nifty fifty lens, and PS CS5. I would love to win a copy of this new software. A girl can never have enough photo editing software to play with. 🙂 Thanks for the heads up on the camera giveaway…off to enter!

    P.S> The link to the camera giveaway doesn’t seem to be working. Is there another link?

  59. IN THE BAG!! Yes please sign me up for this one. I just received an awesome new Cannon Powershot SX40 HS for Mother’s Day. So, it goes without saying that this is my FAV. piece of photography equipment. I really don’t have any idea what it can really do yet, but it has sooooooo much potential. I would love this software to go with it, and it’s international! Woohoo!! Fingers crossed…

  61. In the bag! I love my tripod & remote. I can set up anywhere and take amazing photos!

  63. IN THE BAG!

    My favorite thing in my camera bag is….MY CAMERA! It’s so nice to have a fancy camera, I just wish I knew how to use it better!

  65. In the bag! I brought 3 extra batteries with me to Europe because I knew I’d b taking a ton of pics! Thanks for the giveaway!

  66. In the bag! My fav piece of photography equipment is my camera. But I am dying for a remote. I think it will make taking family shots much easier.

  67. In the Bag! Does snapfish & picassa count? That’s all I use for editing and would looove an upgrade!!!

  68. In The Bag!

    My favorite piece of camera equipment is my tripod. I got one for Christmas this year and it has come in handy so many times!

    By the way, your link to the camera giveaway doesn’t work. Just thought you should know!

  69. In the bag!

    My favorite piece of photo equipment?! Wow, that’s a tough one! Right now it is the 50mm f/1.8 lens that I got for my b’day over the weekend. I am IN LOVE with it.

    ColorHug.com

  70. In the Bag! Love my polarizing filter – and what would my pictures look like with out PW’s actions!? 🙂

  71. It’s in the bag….I love the extra battery! There is no sadder moment than when you go to capture a super special, once in a lifetime moment…than when your camera is DEAD 🙁

  72. In the bag!

    My favorite piece of equipment is the Nikon D40 that I’m perma-borrowing from my boyfriend. I still have SO much to learn, but it’s so much fun and I learn new things every day!

  73. In the bag! I’m somewhat new to taking quality photos, so my favorite piece of equipment is my new-ish camera, a Sony Nex.

  74. IN THE BAG!

    favorite photography equipment…. a photographer. 🙂

    Definitely not my specialty but would love it to BE my specialty!!

  77. In the bag! My fave piece of photog equipment is my completely manual Bell and Howell camera. It used to be my dad’s when he was younger and now it’s mine! I use it for black and white photos and I love that I can control literally everything about my shot!

  80. In the Bag! My favorite camera accessory is my cute little fabric covered strap. Without it I surely would have broken my camera by now.

  82. In the bag! My favorite piece of equipment is my son…he can make any picture I take cute!

  83. In the Bag! I love my camera obviously but I really love my Epiphanie camera bag!

  84. In the bag! I’m playing with my new nifty-fifty and I love the light I get and how light it is!

  86. In the bag!!

    I would love an extra battery if I had one! I’m bad about charging mine.

    PS–The link for the other giveaway wouldn’t work for me. 🙁

  88. In the bag!

    I’m trying to reteach myself to use a “real” camera–slowly, with toddler in tow. So I guess my favorite equipment right now is my camera itself (Nikon D80) because it goes from fully automatic to fully manual with many stops in between, and because even in auto mode with little to no thought it takes soo much better pictures than the point and shoot I’d been using.

  90. In the bag!

    I love my tripod! Now if only I could figure out my settings better so I wasn’t always blurry in our family pics.

  91. ”In the Bag!”

    My tripod…so I can finally get in some of our family’s photos!

  92. In the bag!!!

    My favorite item– it’s not really an item, but I am in love with my iphone camera since I’m an artist and having a decent camera on my iphone allows me to snap inspiration photos anywhere.

  95. In the bag! My favorite equipment is my little wristlet thing for my camera…that’s about the only thing because my camera is so horrible! Totes need a new one.

  98. I hope I win! I have a feeling that it’s in the bag. I love tripods so that I can be in the pictures, too!

  99. I hope I’ve got this giveaway in the bag!! 🙂 my favorite piece of equipment is my only piece…my point and shoot camera! I am hoping to make my non-skill look less sad with editing!

  100. In the Bag!
    I love my camera bag….its too cute to not have with me everywhere I go! Thanks for the tip regarding the camera giveaway! I really love that editing software!

  102. In the bag!

    I am a beginner at photography and am just learning to use a decent camera, tripod, and software program.

    So I am going to be a little cheesy and say that my favorite photog equipment would be my favorite subject-My 23 month old daughter!!! 🙂

  103. “In the Bag!” We are brand new to a ‘good’ camera, so I would have to say that the camera itself is my favorite because we dont have many accessories yet!

  112. In the bag!

    I just got a Cannon T2i for a graduation gift – I’ve been taking photos ever since!

  120. In the bag! I would have to say just my camera in general — it’s new, so we’re just starting to get acquainted! 🙂

  121. In the bag!
    50 mm lens is my fav, although it is definitely tricky to learn how to use!
    Practice, practice, practice!

  123. In the bag! My favorite piece of of photography equipment is my new camera – my Canon Rebel. Love taking pictures of my 14 year old son and husband.

  124. In the bag! I would love to win this. My favorite thing is the extra battery. The dang battery always dies right when one of my kids is ready to take a cute pic.

  126. In the bag!

    My extra battery is def my fav, but after that, my external flash!

    P.S. Your link to the camera giveaway doesn’t work 🙁

  127. “In the Bag” My favorite piece of photography equipment is my 85mm lens… oh it can whisper sweet nothings to my camera all day long!

  129. In the bag! My fave piece of camera equipment, is my man who takes the photos! I don’t need to do anything, he is wonderful enough at it.

  130. IN THE BAG!

    Actually, a good camera bag that makes it easy to find what you need and stash your camera in a flash is a must!

  132. In the bag! My favorite thing is my hubby. Is he part of the equipment since he’s the photographer…lol All of his schmancy software is so confusing to me that it’s be awesome to get my hands on a simple editing program!! ;o)

  134. “In the bag!”
    What i love is i have a collection of point and shoot cameras…..that i owned before and its in a box and whenever i see them it actually brings back a whole lot of memories…because every single cam had been used to its fullest! 🙂
    p.s- they still work but somehow finding it hard to part with ’em! Hopefully someday they will have a vintage tag to it!

  135. Holla! In the bag! I’m “trying” to start my own photography biz – and it’s SLOW going. My favorite accessory is my lens cloth. No joke!

  137. In the bag!
    I’d actually like to win this for my son. He is a budding photographer and we can’t afford a nice camera like this one. Who knows, maybe it would start him on a career. By the way, he’s graduating from high school next month (homeschool), what an awesome grad present that would be!

  138. ”In the Bag!”
    My favorite favorite photo equipment – subject (mostly my kids)
    I love my zoom lens and Photoshop CS3.

  140. In the bag! I’m a novice…by best camera friend is the strap. I probably wouldn’t still have the camera if it weren’t for the strap.

  141. In The Bag!
    My favourite piece of equipment is my tripod because it allows me to get some awesome waterfalls shots by slowing down my shutter speed!

  143. In the bag. My favorite piece of equipment is my hand dandy length of string, tied to my camera strap, that I use to steady my shots. Step on one end, pull it tight, and a nice steady shot is born. Cheaper and much more transportable than an actual tripod.

  145. IN THE BAG!

    I love my 2nd camera battery. Yeah, I’m crazy enough to have two…one to use, and one to be charging. Hehe.

  146. In the Bag!

    The battery charger…because I’m always losing it, and am ridiculously grateful when I find it.

  147. in the bag!
    i actually love my 2 extra batteries…usually i have at least one of them charged and ready to go! thanks…pick me!

  150. In the Bag!

    I don’t yet have a “big girl” camera, but I’ve been able to take some pretty amazing pictures with my Kodak. Counting down the days until I’m able to make the upgrade, though!

  151. In the bag! My tripod is absolutely necessary for me to take pics, so I love it!

  152. In the bag!

    My favorite camera-related thingy is my JoTotes camera bag. It’s so useful and I’ve had it for nearly a year and I’m still in awe of how cute it is!

  156. In The Bag! My favorite thing right now is my new leather camera bag, a major upgrade over just shoving it in my purse. I wish I could say it is my camera but I am so overdue for an upgrade!

  157. In the bag! Love my vintage Pentax Takumar 50 mm F 1.4! Makes for some real cool pics! Use it with an adapter on my Rebel T2i!

  160. In the bag! I love my vintage Pentax Takumar 50mm F 1.4, makes for some great shots! I use it with an adapter on my Rebel T2i.

  164. IN THE BAG!

    My favorite photography “equipment” is my baby boy, who is a wonderful model (since he isn’t crawling yet)!

  166. In the bag! I love my camera case. It has pink paint on it from a little DIY accident, but it makes me laugh everytime I carry it.

  168. In the bag!

    The strap… Saved my cameras from my clumsiness many times 🙂

  170. In the bag!

    This is so awesome! I was going to possibly buy this program… Now I hope I win it 🙂 (ermmm… pick me!) BUT. I love my memory card! Its the hugest thing ever. So nice for missions trips when I want to take endless photos!

  173. In the bag!!

    Probably the extra battery I always forget to charge mine and then it’s dead when I need it.

  174. IN THE BAG!

    My favorite thing is a tripod for family/couple photos. The photographer has to make it in the shots sometimes, right? 🙂

  175. In the bag!! My favorite piece of equipment would have to be my camera… haha!! Sorry, I don’t have lots of fancy equipment around here 🙂 Thanks for the heads up on the camera giveaway, I had fun playing around with my photo!!

  176. In The Bag!! I definitely ALWAYS need an extra battery on hand. My camera goes through battery juice like I go through bacon 🙂

  186. “In the Bag!” I’m still learning to use my camera, so I don’t have a favorite piece of equipment, yet.

  189. “In the Bag!”

    I just love my camera, but I’m a beginner so I’m still learning.

  192. In the Bag! -My favorite piece of equipment is our Gorillapod. We love being able to place our camera anywhere while we are hiking or taking a walk in the park without carrying around a huge tripod.

  193. In the bag! I like my fong diffuser thingie. I don’t even know what it’s really called, but it slips on over my flash.

  194. I’m new to photography but so far, I’d have to say my 50mm lens. It’s my new favorite toy. 🙂

  197. In the bag!!

    I can’t live with out my 50mm lens, an extra battery, and a spare card. Too many times I’ve missed photo ops due to a full card or a dead battery. But no more, I am always prepared!

  198. In the Bag! i love my tripod..makes it so much easier since sometimes i can’t keep the camera still when i hold it myself.

  203. In the Bag!

    I’m still new to photography, but my favorite accessory is my Lowepro bag – it makes it so easy to take my camera in and out.

  204. In the bag! My wife is my favorite accessory. Without her, I’d never get a decent picture.

  206. In the bag! My camera itself. I just bought my first DSLR and I’m slowly learning how to use it. Hopefully I learn quickly so I can start buying actual accessories!

  207. In the bag!

    My favorite camera accessory is my hubby – he’s got such a terrific eye and sees amazing images in every day. Would love to give him this as a gift! Thanks for hosting such fun contests!

  211. In the bag! I like the simple fact that we can see photos as we take them now. Remember getting your birthday photos days after your birthday and HOPING you looked cute and kept your eyes open?

  215. In the bag! My favorite thing… hmm… my subjects (they’ve only been family and friends so far)! It doesn’t matter what lens I use because they look amazing in every shot. Love those people to death. 🙂

  217. In the Bag! Good question! My favorite thing has to be my manual… it’s helping me learn how to take some decent pics!

  218. In the bag! If I win, this would definitley be my favorite new piece of photo equiptment.

  219. In the bag!

    I am so excited because I don’t live in the U.S. and this a competition I can enter! Insert exciting hand flapping here. 😀

  223. In the Bag! I love my Canon Rebel…..still working on mastering it but I have been able to get some great shots of my grandchildren, my favourite subjects. Hope I win as this seems like an easy program to use.

  228. In the Bag! My camera is my favorite (although I have to admit it’s not all that great of a camera!)

  229. In the Bag!

    As a first time owner of a larny camera, I’d have to say it is ABSOLUTELY my pride and joy at the moment. I still need to learn about all the extras, and of course how to use all the buttons but I’m getting there 🙂 Your posts sure inspire and teach me Katie!

  230. In the bag !
    I’m kind of new to photography, so I don’t own a lot of gear.
    So for now, my favorite lens is a 8mm fisheye, that is very cool to play with once you get the perspectives.

  233. In the bag!

    I’m a beginner and am just starting to figure out how to use my camera so my favourite piece of equipment is my tutorial 🙂

  234. In the Bag! My favorite piece of camera equipment, besides the camera of course is my back up set of SD Cards. I am horrible about deleting photos, it just feels wrong! So, i always have like 4 extras.

  235. “In the Bag!” I’m still using an old digital that I bought about 5 years ago. In camera world this is ancient so having something new would be amazing. My favorite piece of equipment would have to be an extra battery!

  236. In the bag!

    Anything that stands still long enough for me to take a pic! 🙂

  237. In the bag! I suspect winning this software would fast become my favorite photography item because I miss having photoshop, and I’d love to be able to edit my photos.

  240. In the Bag!

    Honestly, sometimes I just don’t have the time to run looking for my camera so I love having my mobile phone with me. It acts as my impromptu camera and I have some of the best shot of my (extremely quick) 2 year old on it 🙂

  245. In the bag!

    I am a beginner – and all I have so far is my beloved camera… it’s fun to get to learn my way around it.

  246. In the Bag…my favorite photography equipment is the tripod or wait its the extra battery no tripod! I guess i have two favorites!!

  247. In the bag! My husband just bought me my camera this past Christmas. It was truly a surprise gift and I love it! Shortly after receiving it, I purchased a Zing neoprene pouch for it and LOVE it.

  248. In the bag! I always need an extra battery with me. Even with just my point and shoot I have a camera on me at all times…but it’s usually dead or close to it.

  250. In the bag! My favorite accessory is actually probably my cross-body strap. No tension on my neck – and much easier to access the camera for quick shots!

  252. In the Bag! – My favorite accessory is currently photoshop. It brings out the best in my photos. I’m excited to see what kind of results this might give too!

  253. In The Bag!!! We’ve had a decent camera for about a year and a half. I’m just figuring out the f stops and that kind of thing. I guess my favorite thing is our tripod…without it we couldn’t take family pictures. I wish I had a wireless remote like you do!

  255. In the bag, I desperately need a camera. Mine just broke : ( I really love the tripod, I think it would be good for family pictures and help me with making my pictures better. Thanks for the opportunity Katie!

  256. In the bag!

    I have to go with tripod since it enables us to take family pictures!

  259. In the Bag!

    I would love to win this. I’ve been wanting to buy Photoshop for awhile but it’s so expensive that I haven’t wanted to spend the money. My favorite piece of equipment I have is my Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens 🙂

  262. In the bag! I wouldn’t call it equipment, but any photo editing/filtering software I can get my mitts on is essential. The iPhone filter apps are pretty great! Take any plain picture, add a few filters, and you have art!

  263. In the Bag!
    i’m not a real photographer, but i am in love with my new camera that the hubs got me for my birthday a few months ago 🙂 HUGE improvement over my old one!

  264. in the bag! the ONLY accessory I own is a battery charger 🙂 So, I guess that’s my favorite. i would love a fancy new camera.

  266. In the bag! My husband and I recently took the plunge and bought a Nikon DSLR so I am excited about this software!

  267. In the Bag! I’m a newbie to the world of “real” photography, so my favorite thing now is just the camera itself!

  268. In the bag!! I have a simple point and shoot camera but I love the rechargeable batteries. :o)

  271. In the Bag!

    I have a Sony Nex-5. It’s not quite a DSLR, but I can swap out the lenses, manually focus, and adjust all the same feature that you can with a DSLR, but it’s slimmer. It takes pictures fast and the auto focus is amazing. Right now I use the Google Software Picasa to edit my photos. It’s free, but it’s a pretty good program for my amateur self.

  272. In the bag!

    I’m pretty new to photography, so currently my favorite thing is my husband who has been my tutor!

  273. In the bag… my favorite piece is my cat. he is more popular on facebook than i am. Sad, but true.

  274. In the bag!

    I’m just starting to learn how to use my DSLR camera (2 years in!), so I don’t have much favorite “equipment” yet. I would have to say my favorite thing is my external hard drive (nerd?!) because it saves all my pictures so I don’t have to stress about losing them or having enough space to keep them!

    Nicole 🙂

  275. In the Bag!

    My favorite piece of equipment is the new Canon Rebel T2i that my husband bought me for my birthday. Now I am just learning how to use it…

  276. In the Bag! I love the strap to hang the camera on my neck, which helps to have the camera ready when we are walking around the park with our kiddo.

  278. In the bag! I’m a beginner, so right now my favorite piece is my camera itself!

  284. In the bag!

    I just received my camera (Canon t2i) as a gift, so right now it’s my favorite piece of equipment! I want to learn to use a software program, though, to make the best of my photos.

  288. It’s in the bag-I’d love to get a new camera before we have kids and I currently don’t have a favorite product.

  289. In the bag! I’m just glad I have a descent camera (Canon Rebel) to take pictures of my 18-month old daughter.

  290. In the bag!

    I am new to photography so I love your site that gives us great tips on taking pictures!

  292. In the bag! I am just learning my camera but I did recently purchase a new 50 mm lens so I guess that is currently my favorite 🙂

  293. IN THE BAG! We love our tripod that grips – its called gorilla something I think? Amazing for those perfect shots!

  294. In the Bag! I love taking photography but can’t afford to make the leap to a nice new camera. But I do LOVE the fact that memory cards have gone down in price and now i can have a huge card and just snap away!!

  296. In the Bag!
    Honestly, my new 4S is my favorite piece right now. The ability to carry something that small and still be able to capture quality images on the fly is fantastic

  299. In the bag!
    It may seem a little silly, but I love my lens cap strap. It’s so nice to be able to whip out my camera and snap a few pics without having to think about what to do with my lens cap because it’s attached to my lens :o)

  302. “In the Bag!” My favorite piece of equipment is my 50 mm 1.4 lens. Love that thing. Don’t know what I would do without it.

  304. In the bag!

    My favorite piece has to be the extra battery grip, it makes taking a vertical shot so much easier! Hopefully I’ll win so I can keep shooting, my current camera is on the fritz!

  305. In the bag!! My husband just bought me a Cannon for mothers day so this would be perfect! 🙂

  307. In the bag! I love my extra SD cards – There is never a question of whether I will have enough space for more pictures!

  308. In the bag!!! I live in wild, wide-open NM, so I love me my polarizer filter!!! :>

  309. In the bag! I love my Canon EOS Rebel T1i! So many features but works like a point-and-shoot for my husband too!

  310. “In the Bag!”

    My favorite piece of photography equipment is our wireless remote for our canon T3i

  311. In the Bag! I love my extra camera battery, it always comes in handy… = )

  312. In The Bag!!!

    My favorite piece of equipment besides my camera would have to be my flash! It’s amazing how it can turn any light into a great setting for photos!

  313. In the bag! I took a photography class in high school and loved it! I’ve always loved taking photos and would LOVE an awesome camera that could help me out!

  314. In the bag! I currently just have a point and shoot, but I still have the capability of changing some of my settings manually. I’ve been hinting at a Canon Rebel for about a year now…;)

  315. ”In the Bag!”

    i love my 50mm lens. it makes me so happy to capture all the detail i deisre

  316. In the Bag!

    Would it sound too silly if I say just my camera? I’m still am amateur when it comes to photography.

  317. In the Bag! I think our tripod is very handy for the silly Christmas photo cards we make every year.

  320. In the Bag!

    I love the camera strap. It ensures that I don’t drop my camera 🙂

  321. In the Bag!

    I am JUST getting on the camera bandwagon and in search of the perfect camera, so it’s hard for me to say what my favorite thing is. Right now I’m armed with a copy of Photoshop for Dummies so I’m going to have to say thats my current favorite.

  322. In the bag!!!! my fav part is not a piece of equipment its the photo that comes out. its the memories it captures.

  323. In the bag! I am still “experimenting” with my camera, so at this point my camera is my favorite piece of photography equipment.

  324. In the bag! I love my DSLR but am still learning to really use it…looking forward to getting some new lenses!

  327. In the bag!!

    I couldn’t live without my “diamond-plated” camera case. Its a hard shell and I can safely travel anywhere and not worry about damaging my Nikon D90. I must admit though, that the case slightly resemebles a small pistol case and it was a bit awkard bringing it to the hosptial when I delievered my son 7 months ago. Awww, the looks!!!

  328. In the bag! I love my polarizing filter. It allowed me to take some pretty great pictures out in the Galapagos last summer.

  331. IN THE BAG!

    I had to sell my last DSLR and am now on the hunt for a new one. I’m graduating from my masters program this August and it’ll be the perfect time to start learning something new!! Thanks for this opportunity!

  332. In the bag!

    Fave right now is my precious hard drive that holds thousands of photos of my kiddos 🙂

  334. In the bag! I’m brand new at this photography thing. The birth of my daughter in February sparked a new interest for photography. I now have a Canon Rebel that I’m dying to know how to use perfeclty. My first photography course is tomorrow, a mommy-baby one at that! 🙂

  336. IN THE BAG!
    I heart my tripod! And my wireless remote. What did we ever do without remotes?!?!

  337. In the bag! I love editing software… especially to get rid of zits. Sad but true.

  342. ”In the Bag!”

    My 70-300mm lens – even though it’s a beast, I love taking portraits with it. The bokeh and focus are lovely. For some reason, I tend to reach for this one more often than my nifty fifty. Weird, huh?

  343. In the Bag!

    I am still learning about photography but i would have to say my extra battery is a life saver!

  346. Operation Paci Extraction?! Please tell me your method. We are getting ready to do the same but I am terrified – really only at night for sleeping. Did you go cold turkey?

  348. In the bag! I’m having a love affair with my nifty fifty. My husband might be jealous of how much a love that lens. 😉

  349. In the bag!
    By far would have to be an extra battery, so you can never be cut short of capturing that perfect moment!

  350. In the bag!

    I’m new to photography so everything is interesting to me now! I love using editing software the most!

  353. In the bag:) and it may not be considered equipment, but I love the remote on my camera for taking those self family portraits:)

  354. In the Bag!
    I have gobs of horrible photos that were taken by an EXTREMELY ill talented photog at my wedding last October. I need something to help correct them and make them decent…Help me save my memories!!

  355. In the bag! My favorite piece of gear is my Canon 5D MKII. I couldn’t imagine living without it now (and I know from experience – I had to give it up for a month when it was in the shop. I nearly died).*

    *caution: gay man being overly dramatic.

  358. In the bag!! I’m still learning how to use my new Canon Rebel. I love it but learning its capabilities is NOT easy.

  361. In the bag!!
    I have to say my favorite is my card reader! Makes uploading those photos so much easier than finding the cord for my camera.

  362. In the bag! It’s actually my husband that enjoys taking pictures…I just like looking at the pictures he takes and watching him get all excited and adjusting his settings 🙂

  363. “In the Bag”
    Props are essential for taking pictures with my little one, and they make a good distraction.

  365. In the Bag!!

    I actually have to say one of my favorite things is my card reader. Makes uploading those photos so much nicer than searching for my camera cord!

  367. IN THE BAG!

    Why yes, I do love my extra battery… granted it’s for a crappy point-and-shoot. Here’s hoping it will soon be replaced with a fancy schmancy new camera!

  368. In the bag!!

    My bf just got an awesome new camera & I know he would love this!

  369. In the Bag!

    I don’t have any favorite camera equipment (yet), but you’re inspiring me to pick up the hobby.

  370. In the Bag! I love it when I don’t forget an extra memory stick when I go on trips!

  371. Fingers crossed I have this contest in the bag!!! Fave photog gear is hands down my portrait lens…it’s minorly addicting

  372. In the bag! I know it’s not “regular” camera equipment – but I love instagram and the adjustments I easily make to the shots I’ve taken with my phone!

  375. In the Bag! Other than my awesome camera, my flash would have to be my favorite additional piece of equipment. Thanks.

  378. In the Bag! My favorite and most used/useful piece has got to be our tripod. Has made for so many family photos 🙂

  379. In the bag!

    I’d have to say my favorite thing is our hiking camera bag. It’s small and light, sits easily on my back, and is quick to get into when we want a pic while hiking.

  380. In the bag!! I have a Canon Rebel. Perfect for millions of pics of the kiddos.

  382. In the Bag! Teh strap that comes along that you use to hang your camera on your neck! Otherwise the DSLR is frikkin heavy!!

  383. In the bag!

    I love my actualy camera bag, it’s got room and pockets for everything I need!

  385. In the bag! Extra batteries, SD cards, etc 🙂 I’m always running out of battery or filling up space.

  386. In the Bag
    my fave is my photo printer, I can print pictures (albeit with no editing) minutes after I take them

  391. In the Bag! I’m pretty new to photography – so I’m loving my new camera I got!

  394. In the bag!
    I currently have an old cannon eos 10d ..I love it, but it is heavy and bulky for traveling (especially when said traveling is with a 3yr old and 20 month old respectively). Plus something with a longer battery life would also be great! I never leave home without an extra camera card to store pics because I get “snap happy!” 😉

  395. In the bag!

    I wouldn’t be able to photograph without my REAL camera bag, that thing is like my personal photography assistant that carries all the goodies!

  396. In the bag!
    My favorite piece is the strap. I know, most cameras come with a strap, but seriously, without one, my camera would have fallen into many a messes!

  397. In the bag!

    I’m with many others – I love my extra battery. It came in handy when my friends and I camped our way to Yellowstone. 🙂

  398. In the bag!

    I don’t carry around much equipment and I don’t have many camera accessories… I have my camera and camera bag! I LOVE my camera, a Canon Rebel.

  399. In the bag! I just purchased a DSLR a few weeks ago and I’m still learning to use the manual settings. My favorite feature so far is the aperature priority setting!

  400. In The Bag!

    My favourite piece of equipment is my BlackRapid camera strap. My camera slides up and down and makes it easier to take pictures quickly.

  401. ”In the Bag!”

    I’ve got nothing. I love my camera and I love to take pictures, but I’m not very informed when it comes to cameras and lenses and expose and… yeah.

  403. In the bag!!

    My favorite piece of equipment is the camera itself! I’m totally a novice at taking photos, but it makes me want to be better!

  404. In the Bag!

    I am still an amateur so my favorite thing is the camera itself! Although it should be the manual…haha!

  405. In the bag! I love my extra lens… to get more up close pictures. I recently had twins, and would LOVE this to edit pictures of them.

  406. In the Bag!
    I love my remote, otherwise I’d never be in family photos. Plus its nice to have the extra hand for reflector positioning.

  408. In the Bag!
    I love my extra camera battery, it seems like if your starting to get good shots the battery always dies.

  409. ”In the Bag!” – for sure the extra battery! I always forget to charge!

    I’m still getting to know my Rebel – so my fave isn’t some super cool lense that I can’t use right 😉

  411. IN THE BAG!!!

    I’m just starting out… so currently my favorite item is my new camera! 🙂 Canon Rebel T3i! Although the Photoshop for Dummies book someone else mentioned sounds GREAT too! I need to get that!

  413. In The Bag!

    My only tool besides my camera is PSE- which I love. The organizer makes me happy because I would never organize my photos without it.

  415. IN THE BAG!

    I can’t live without a camera strap – I’m much too lazy to carry that puppy around!

  416. In the Bag!!! My favorite piece of equipment is the camera itself 🙂 I love to take pictures and creating lasting memories to share with others for years to come!

  418. Hollar! “In the Bag!” My favorite piece of photography equipment would have to be my camera case. It fits everything that I need while keeping it safe.

  419. In the Bag!

    I love my iPhone camera, the pictures are decent and it’s much easier to carry around, making it more likely that I will actually take pictures.

  421. IN THE BAG!

    My favorite piece of photography equipment is my tripod! I love to be able to take a photo of the entire group wherever we are and capture that moment! I have had too many instances where we ask a stranger to take our photo and they miss the background completely or cut someone off.

    P.S. Love your blog and Will is adorable!

  422. In the bag! I love my piece of white paper- it makes white balancing a breeze! I also love my piece of cardboard wrapped with tin foil for light reflection.

  423. In the bag! We are upgrading from our point-and-shoot to a DSLR. I would have to say my favorite item right now is the world wide web and how many photographers share their favorites. It makes my research a lot easier.

  424. In The Bag!

    I love everything about my camera and the editing software! It never leaves my side…I guess you could say it’s my better half!!!:)

  425. In the Bag! I just got a DSLR so right now I’m loving the whole thing (and trying to learn as much as I can about it!)

  427. In the bag! My favorite piece of camera equipment is my Canon 50 mm 1.4 lens. It takes amazing pictures and I’m soooo glad I purchased it when I got my camera!

  428. In the bag! I have a camera that I still don’t know how to use properly, but just signed up for a class so here goes it!

  430. In the bag!

    I love my little gorilla tripod. We have used it for all kinds of family pics in odd places and it fits in my purse so easily.

  433. In the bag! I have a waterproof case for my camera that I love. It makes taking pictures at the beach so much fun 🙂

  434. In the bag!

    My favorite piece of photography equipment is an extra memory card.
    Thanks so much for the giveaway opportunity!

  439. In the Bag! My favorite photography equipment is my tripod! Can’t live without it!

  440. In the bag!!

    I don’t know what my favorite piece of equipment is yet…my camera doesn’t get here until this afternoon! I’m just hoping I can find the “on” button!

  442. It’s in the bag!!
    I don’t have a fave piece of equipment… yet – but I’ll get there 🙂 what I love are beautiful photos!! Thanks
    Kate

  443. In the Bag!

    I’ve been saving up to buy a nice camera! So far I’ve just been using my cell phone. I’m told if I am able to keep a steady stream of updates to my blog (or photo taking in general) I may have a nice surprise this Christmas! 🙂

  444. In the bag! I love my new Canon Powershot! (and I may have already entered the contest, but the website went wonky on me!)

  446. In the bag! And I know it’s not terribly fancy, but we’re really enjoying our new Canon Rebel – it’s WAAAAYYYYY better than the crappy point and click that took 2 seconds to take a pic and so we always missed the shot camera.

  452. In the Bag! Not quite sure if it’s considered equipment but I’m a newbie and am loving “Understanding Exposure.” Good stuff!

  455. In the Bag!
    I love my tripod. Whenever I try to hold anything still, I shake- so it’s priceless!

  456. In the Bag! I’m saving money for a nice, *real* camera… right now my favorite camera accessory is my iphone camera, as that’s what I’ve got!

  458. IN THE BAG! I love my remote control! We set up the camera and tripod and take a gazillion photos of us–me, boyfriend and our baby–laughing, kissing, playing! It’s so much fun!

  459. In the bag!
    I need the upgrade really bad….Love my current camera but it’s small & has limited features.

  460. IN THE BAG! I really can’t live without my little portable tri-pod. It makes family pictures so much easier!

  461. In the Bag! – my husband is a photography nut! His favorite accessory are the filters he uses for his Canon 50D (whatever the heck that is!).

  462. Its in the bag! My only real piece of camera equipment (other than my rebel itself) is a mini tripod we got free when we bough the camera. Its a tiny little adjustable leg tripod about 8 inches high. I cannot tell you how much use we get out of that thing! When we went on our honeymoon two years ago it was great for getting couples shots. 🙂 set the tripod up- put the camera on timer and run like heck back to the other person.

  463. IN THE BAG!

    I love my homemade light box for photographing my products! Easiest and cheapest thing to make and is so helpful!

  468. In the Bag!

    I LOVE my light kit! It makes taking photos indoors on a rainy day much more of an amazing adventure 🙂

  469. In the bag!

    Right now I only have a point and shoot but it takes great pictures and I love it.

  470. In the Bag! Since I don’t have a great camera yet I would have to say my favorite piece of photography equipment is my iphone! I love that it’s right there anytime I see something that is photo-worthy. I have a decent point-and-shoot but one day I’ll have a great camera!

  472. IN THE BAG!

    My longtime fave camera “accessory” if you can call it that… is Photoshop! I recently used a trial of Lightroom and I love it… But I’m itching to try CameraBag now!

  473. In the Bag!
    I do love my Lambency Flash Diffuser, it’s great for when there isn’t enough natural light and you need a flash but really makes it natural looking. Oh and my RF remote control for taking those family pics when no one else is there to click the button for you. 🙂

  475. In the bag!
    My camera bag because I protects my camera and I am sometimes a bit clumsy.

  477. In the bag! Favorite piece of equipment (after my camera, of course) is the 8 gb memory card! I used 512 mb for a lonnnggg time.

  478. In the bag! Lately Instagram is my best friend but I’d love to take better pictures more often on a better camera :).

  479. In the bag! I just have a point and shoot, but have been wanting a camera that I can learn to take better pictures with. I’m excited to try out new lenses and see what I can do!

  481. In the bag! I love my brand new underwater case! I took some very cool photos of my dog in the pool a few weeks ago to test it out, and this weekend it’s going to get its first real test when we go scuba diving in Cozumel! It says it’s good to 130 ft…here’s hoping that’s true!

  484. In the bag!! I just got my Canon Rebel last week and so it is by far my favorite piece of equipment!

  490. In the Bag! My fav piece of photography equipment is my fancy schmacy tripod!

  492. IN THE BAG!

    A tiny bendable tripod from REI that can wrap itself around anything! It screws into the bottom of my camera and has come in so handy!

  496. In the bag! I’m a total novice, with little equipment, so my favorite is my extra battery.

  497. In the bag! I’m just beginning to research equipment to get a kit together to take awesome photos of my son once he arrives in August, so no favorites yet!

  503. In the bag! On our recent trip to Europe, I was thankful for my extra batteries! With all the amazing places to see (and the fact that you have to use a converter to plug anything in to charge) it would have been terrible to have run out of batteries!

    I’m really jonesing for a nifty fifty and a tripod though!

  504. In the bag!

    My camera strap! Gift from my sister, hand-made from an Etsy seller, and it’s beautiful!

  505. IN THE BAG!!!

    My favorite piece of camera equipment is my camera itself! I have a Canon Rebel that I just got for Christmas and am still learning how to use for the best pictures!

  506. In the bag!

    I’m the proud owner of a brand new Nikon D5100 so I’m not sure what my favorite camera accessory is yet, I’m just getting started with a “Real” camera!

  507. In the Bag!
    I don’t really have any camera accessories, but I do love my photoshop 🙂

  512. ”In the Bag!” I love the new camera case I finally bought after a year of thinking about it.

  513. In the Bag! I’m a beginner so I don’t have anything besides the camera, but if I ever lost the lens cap I’d be really upset 🙂

  516. In the Bag! And my husband, who takes the pictures is my favorite accessory! 🙂

  517. In the Bag! Right now I’m trying to master the manual settings on my T2i, but I’m loving it!

  521. In the bag!

    I’m just getting started, so I don’t really have a favorite right now. I’m in love with it all, and the ability to be able to take pictures!

  523. IN THE BAG! My camera of course! Still learning how to use the thing as we recently transitioned from a point and shoot but I’m loving it! Especially with my little one as my photo subject!

  524. In The Bag!
    I love have an extra battery, or at least a charger. I also love extra memory! I love to take pictures!

  526. IN THE BAG! My macro lens…it’s so much easier to get natural photos of the kids from further away!

  529. IN THE BAG!!!
    I love focusing with my camera manually! Yep I’m an auto focus hater!

  530. In the bag! My favorite piece of camera equipment is my extra battery – but the extra 8 gig memory card I got for a recent 2 week trip around the UK is a close second (but you can’t use the extra memory card without power, right?)!

  531. In the bag! I would love to have a camera with settings I can set as opposed to the wimpy point-and-shoot I have now!

  532. In the Bag!

    I love my nifty 50 and my flash the best because I feel I have more range if lighting isn’t on my side.

  534. In the bag! My spare battery comes in handy, not sure what I would have done without it.

  535. In the bag!

    I love my tripod!

    PS: They are actually giving away a Canon 5D Mark III. Thank you so much for letting us know!! 🙂

  538. IN THE BAG! My husband is the photographer in our house so it would be nice to try my hand at it as well!

  540. In the bag…my favorite piece of equipment is my camera. It’s only a canon rebel t1i but I am in love with it!

  541. In the Bag!!! The tripod really comes in handy and even allows me to get into a photo once in a while when we set the timer.

  543. In The BAG!!!!!!!!!! My fav is the Canon Rebel T3 that my husband surprised me with! 🙂

  547. In the Bag! I don’t have any fancy equipment just yet (still saving for my big purchase)! This would definitely come in handy!

  550. In the Bag!

    I’m still new to the whole photography thing, but I’ve been playing with the free photoshop features and really like some of them. The program on this giveaway sounds great!!

  551. In the Bag!

    I love to have my extra SD storage card around, just in case! 🙂

  552. In the bag! My favorite is my new to me Canon, but it’s a much older model. I definitely could use a new one.

  555. IN THE BAG!

    I love the old school way of processing photos. I took a black and white photography class in college and I learned SO much about the fundamentals of photography as well as processing film / photos. It makes you appreciate the pictures much more 🙂

  556. In the bag! I just got a wireless remote for my camera. Love! Great for taking family shots and for once I get to be in the picture.

  559. In the bag!!

    I just got my camera for Christmas, so pretty much the only thing I have is the camera! 🙂

  560. In the bag! I am still learning the tricks on my camera, but I love the tripod!

  567. ”In the Bag!” My favorite is my camera strap because it is a pretty punch of color that keeps my camera safe from sweet grabby little hands!

  568. In the bag!

    I am not even to the amateur level yet…but, to keep me from over-exposing faces indoors until I learn how to adjust my camera settings, my favorite piece of camera equipment is a pop-up flash bounce. It has made a tremendous difference in my indoor pictures!

  569. IN THE BAG! Tripod is a life saver. Only way we can get decent family photos!

  570. In the bag! Frankly, it’s the memory card that allows me to play indefinitely without regard to film and processing!

  571. In the bag!!!
    Just my camera. I’m so not a photographer, but my canon rebel helps me take somewhat decent pics of my kids! 🙂

  572. ”In the Bag!”

    I love my Canon 10-22mm lens. It not great for shooting portraits, but then again that’s not what I shoot most of the time:)

  573. I apologize if this is a duplicate comment, my computer froze on me.

    In the Bag, you can’t go wrong with an extra battery…they are a lifesaver!

  575. In the bag! I just got my fancy new camera so I don’t know if I have a favorite yet (mostly because I don’t own much) but I bet I would love to have a tripod!

  579. IN THE BAG! My favorite part is the camera! Ha…I’m new at this photography thing w/ a new camera. That’s as far as I’ve gotten 🙂

  581. In the bag! My favorite camera accessory is my backpack- perfect for hiking around/ I can wear it all day long and not have a sore shoulder.

  582. In the bag!!

    I am just learning my new camera but so far I love my extra flash that makes everything brighter even at night!

  583. in the bag! my husband bought me a lens-cap holder that goes right on my strap. the lens cap just clicks in and i no longer have to hunt for it. very helpful!

  588. In the bag!

    My favorite thing is my new T1i. I’m getting an Eye-fi memory card for it, not having to transfer my photos manually might end up being my favorite thing though.

  590. In the Bag!!! My fav piece of equipment is my camera… it’s a nice digital, but not a DSLR, yet!

  591. IN THE BAG. I love photography! Would like to learn to use the software to make even more amazing photos! Thanks for the opportunity

  593. In the Bag!
    Is it weird that my favorite camera accessory right now is my camera strap. I just got it from an Etsy seller and I’m IN LOVE!

  595. IN THE BAG

    BOOYA.

    I like everything camera related. I like coffee while im working in Lightroom so that I can work at lightening speed.

  596. In the Bag! I’m in the extra battery camp – didn’t charge your battery before a big event – EXTRA!

  597. In the bag! Favorite piece of photography equipment is editing software. Wink wink ! I use free sites and they work great but I can’t wait to try more advanced features.

  598. IN THE BAG!

    Is it lame if I say I love that my phone takes pictures? I don’t live with my camera attached to me at all times, it only shows up for special occasions and trips, so it’s a beautiful thing to have my phone to capture cute animal moments or that 5th mimosa at brunch 🙂

  599. In the bag! Well, the camera ITSELF is my favorite part! But a cute camera bag to tote it around in is also great! 😀

  600. In the Bag! I need an extra camera battery! 🙂 i don’t have much in my bag other than my camera, and my one (and only) 18-250mm lens

  601. IN THE BAG! Who doesn’t their extra battery the most?! Or am I the only amateur who forgets to charge?!

  602. In the Bag! I couldn’t live without my tripod!

    Thank you Katie for the giveaway!

  604. In the bag. My favorite thing so far is my nifty fifty lens. Makes everything look pretty good.

  605. IN THE BAG!! Since I’m not great at photography and really just snap pics of our little family, my favorite thing would be what’s on the other side of the lens and that’s my 2 year old son most of the time:)

  607. In the bag! Love my extra battery and a tripod for my apparent shakiness. Without it, I look like I took photos after drinking lots of wine and usually that’s only true about 50% of the time.

  609. In the bag! : )

    My favorite is the camera itself (generic, huh?) I just had my first child so I’m new to this whole camera-in-my-hands-at-all-times thing. But I am drooling over a Canon Rebel a lot these days! : )

  610. In the bag! I absolutely love my 50mm lens and all the bokeh it creates 🙂

    (I tried to comment earlier but got an error message, so in case I’ve entered twice now I’m sorry!)

  612. IN THE BAG! I love the little doo-dad that sticks to my lens cover so I don’t lose it.

  613. In the bag!! I don’t have one yet, but I can’t wait to get a remote for my camera so I can actually be in some of my family pictures!

  616. In the Bag! Does the remote count? Cause that’s my favorite piece of “Equipment”!

  619. In the bag!
    I’m still fairly new to photography and I don’t have a tripod yet, but I know that once I do have one, it will make my photos so much better!

  626. In the bag!! I guess I’d have to say that I love my camera since I don’t have any accessories!! I’d love to get a flash – so if I had an accessory that would be it.

  627. In the bag! I do not have any photo equipment yet, but am dreaming of a dslr camera!

  629. In the bag! I love love love my hand made camera strap, makes it feel more personal. Like a pretty frock for my camera 😉

  631. So sad the camera contest is over! I was hoping it would be In The Bag! Since my husband is DYING for the new Mark III. Oh well. I’m a photography amateur, so right now I am LOVING Lightroom. It has been so much easier to use then Photoshop, but any software that makes it even easier, the better! B/c I would Instagram my way through life if I could!

  632. In the Bag!

    LOVE my Eye-Fi memory card. It wirelessly transmits photos from my camera to my computer over wifi, or better yet, to my Android tablet with no wifi signal needed! Great for reviewing or sharing photos while traveling or at parties.

  633. In the bag! My hubby just purchased me my first DSLR camera for Christmas… I’m loving it!

  634. In the Bag!
    It’s in the mail…literally my first dslr is in the mail as I type. I sure hope I love it and I would love to have some fun software to go along with all the pics I will be forcing my kids to take.

  635. It’s in the Bag! And I love my tripod I got for Mother’s Day last year.

    I love taking pictures and it would be awesome to be able to do whatever I wanted with them with this product! Goodluck to me! 😛

  640. In the bag! I actually love the little pockets on my new camera case because I can store batteries and my extra card!

  643. In the bag!!

    Photoshop is probably my favorite accessory! Can that be considered an accessory? Photoshop helps me to transform beautiful photos into amazing photos every time! I would be so excited to try a new software!

  644. It’s “In the bag” Ha ha love it! Can you love something you don’t have yet? I love the Canon D7 body, I have used one and am completely in love and cannot wait to buy my own.

  645. In the Bag! I would have to say my favorite piece of equipment is the DSLR camera itself because it is so much more fun.

  648. In the bag — I love, love my camera! My fav accessory is the lens cap …. 🙂

  649. In the Bag!

    My fave accessory is my camera strap. That way I can have it ready to go while I’m traveling/doing things that might need a photo.

  650. IN THE BAG! I’m still learning how to use my Nikon D3100 to its full potential, but I’m loving it so far!

  653. memory stick – 2646 pics before download – I have two…not sure why – I download multiple times a day when in photo mode… 🙂

  654. In the bag!
    I love my camera. It’s a Nikon D3100. I am VERY new to photography though, so I’m sure my favorite will change when I learn more.

  655. In the bag!

    I am just now learning to love my camera… It’s taking some time to transition from an old school SLR to a digital slr.

  657. In the Bag!

    I love my little camera bag – makes it easy to carry the camera wherever we go so I can capture those great shots of my kids.

  662. In the bag! My favorite accessory is the portrait lens I got for Christmas. It makes me feel so professional even though my photag skillz are practically nil. 🙂

  665. IN THE BAG….I’m feeling a little tingly lucky sensation going on…oh please! My fave anything is all i know…NikonD90.

  667. It’s in the Bag! We purchased our first DSLR last year and have loved taking photos of our girls with it.

  668. It’s in the bag! My favorite piece of equipment is my camera–it’s all i got!!

  669. In the bag! I have nothing but a point and shoot, so I guess that’s my favorite til I get a better one!

  671. In the bag!

    All I have right now is a simple camera so that’s my favorite. BUT… I have a much nicer camera on my wish list. Here’s to hoping my hubby decides I’ve been good enough to get it.

  673. In the bag! I love my 55-200 lens and the sports mode on my camera. I use them every. single. Saturday. during my kiddos’ sports events. Love. Love. Love.

  674. In the bag! Favorite piece is my camera- Just starting out so it’s all I got!

  678. In the bag!

    I love the extra battery my husband bought me “Just because.”

  681. In the bag!

    I love my battery charger. Unlike others I’ve had, this one plugs directly into the wall and blends right in.

    I’ve been meaning to ask. Have your checked out Photojojo? I’ve already done a little Christmas shopping for D there. They have the coolest things!

  686. You know what my favorite camera accessory that’s In the Bag… it’s a little cheat sheet I made to help me remember what settings to use and when. Like low aperture is best for blurred backgrounds, shooting at night, inside or places with little light and in those situation I need to also change my ISO to be high like 800+. It really helps me when I need to quickly adjust my camera settings (or when my hubby asks if he can “play” with my camera 😉

  687. In The Bag! I am clueless when it comes to photography, so I don’t have any pieces. :-(. We just found our that we are expecting our first baby, so I’m determined to learn- fast!

  688. Its in the bag, I just got a new tripod which is awesome for vacation pictures!

  689. In the Bag! My favorite piece of equipment is my camera. I can’t seem to get much use out of my tripod, because my toddler never stops moving long enough.

  692. In the bag! I have a point and shoot 🙁 so I guess my favorite part is the memory card lol

  697. In the bag!

    I don’t have any photography equipment at this point, but once we start a family I will be demanding a fancy camera like yours, Katie! 🙂

  699. ”In the Bag!

    Love having a second battery with me. I tend to go crazy snapping away, and then deleting multiples later, so its always nice to have that extra battery with me. Oh, and my laptop so I can download pics from the day and clear my card for the next day 🙂

  700. In the Bag! I am still learning all about my first DSLR and I LOVE it so far. One accessory I love and is my Kingston Memory Card Reader. It is pretty compact and allows me to easily upload pictures to my computer, freeing space on my memory card to continue shooting.

  702. In the bag!! My favorite piece of photography equipment? This may be a given but…my camera. And then, my subjects.

  703. In the bag! Def extra battery packs. They always die at the worst time.

  704. In the bag! I don’t own it yet, but I was able to play around with a 55-250 lens for my Canon the other day and I was in love! So, it will eventually be MINE.

  705. In the Bag! My favorite accessory is my zoom lens. I’m still a newbie photographer, but enjoying learning all about it!

  706. In the bag!! I love my 35 mm lens… in this low light old farm house, it has been glorious to get L-ooo-W with that f-stop!! 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway!

  707. In the Bag!

    My iPhone 4S, it’s a way better camera than the one I bought in 2007.

  708. In the bag! My current favorite photography equipment is, umm, my phone. I hope to someday have a Katie Bower-approved camera and learn to take (much) better photos.

  711. In the Bag! Definitely need the extra battery or memory card as it seems to run out or get full and the times I need it most!

    Thanks! Rachel R.

  712. In the bag! I really want an SLR, my husband says I should learn to use what I have before I upgrade…I’m getting better and have taken some pictures of my kids that people wonder where I had them done so I’m not hopeless!

  713. In the bag!

    I can’t decide if my favorite is my Canon 40D itself, my portrait lens, or my external flash. Those three items are used daily to just capture life.

  716. In the bag!
    my favorite is the subject of most photos I take these days- my 8 month old daughter! 🙂

  719. I have a dream! I have a dream that my niece and nephew move back from Nicaragua sooner rather than later. I miss them!

  721. “In the bag”! My favorite piece of camera equipment is the camera itself, because no matter what type of bag or lens you have you can’t do anything without the camera! 🙂

  727. In the bag! Favorite would be my 55mm lens, followed by my extra memory card and batteries, followed by the ever trusty photoshop.

  729. In the Bag~
    I am getting my first “grown up” camera this week. I have made it through the first 6 years of having kids with only a “point and shoot” and decided that the time has come!

  730. In the Bag!

    I love my tripod – so I can take as many family shots as possible. 🙂

  731. This would be awesome to have in the bag!

    I’d say it’s a toss up between a spare battery and a good sized memory stick. Sometimes I just don’t want to delete old photos! 🙂

  732. In the bag! I enjoy using all my equipment but what really makes me smile is my fun polka dotted strap. 🙂 So much better than the original scratchy one!

  733. It’s in the bag!!!

    I love my extra memory card! It is a definite necessity! 🙂

  734. It’s in the bag — my favorite part is my little subject! My 13 month old daughter! Time really does fly!

  735. In the bag! I’m fairly boring, but I love my extra battery! My battery always runs out JUST when I need it, so I love having a spare!

  736. In the bag! I love my strap…if it wasn’t for the strap I’d surely drop the camera and that would be awful!

  737. In the bag…mine is the speed function on my Canon camera. I am super rookie with my camera (and got it after reading how much you love yours on this blog) but without this setting I would miss some of the funniest and cutest faces my daughter makes.

  738. In the bag! Must have an extra batter and Photoshop to keep it looking like I know what I’m doing.

  740. In the bag! Favorite accessory? The husband, he does all the downloading and some editting for me! How great is that?

  741. In The Bag!! I just have a Samsung point and shoot but my favorite is the front screen!

  744. Hi Katie! This will sound so corny but my favorite piece of camera equipment is actually my 3 kids. My daughter had Math Bowl finals today and ROCKED IT! My 14 month old son loves to smile and my older boy is a ham! Photography would be dull without them. In the bag!!

  745. IN THE BAG!!

    I would love to purchase and extra battery and one day own the gray camera bag by JoTotes that I’ve been drooling over for years…but they don’t make it anymore!!

  746. In the Bag!!! I love software. All software. ESPECIALLY photography software.

  748. IN THE BAG, In college my favorite piece of equipment was a flashlight. All of my senior thesis work was based on images painted with light – flashlights, lighters, anything that I could get my hands on. It was one of the most satisfying art-making experiences!

  750. In the bag!!! JUST bought my first Canon Rebel T3 after dreaming about a digital SLR for years. I’m registered for a photography basics class to re-learn what I knew in high school, and I can’t wait to play this summer 🙂

  751. In the bag! I love my camera bag because it keeps my camera safe from my klutzyness.

  754. It’s in the bag! Well, it’s kinda boring, but definitely batteries and my extra memory card have saved me more than once!

  756. In the Bag! I have one of those little gorilla flex tripods for my point and shoot– what a fun little accessory!

  758. In the Bag! My favorite piece of camera equipment is… my camera, I guess. Because that’s all I have. 🙂 xo

  759. In the bag!
    I absolutely love my Photoshop. I thankfully scored the software while I was working for a school, so I got a mega discount.

  760. In the bag!

    Does it count if I say my boyfriend, aka the guy who tries to teach me things like aperture? 🙂

  766. In the bag! I just love that my camera was free. 🙂 It was my father-in-law’s and he thought it was broken so he gave it to me. It works great so far though!

  768. In the Bag…..someday i hope…no camera to speak of now……favorite is blogs so when we can afford a camera ill have some knowledge!!!!!!!,!,!,!

  770. In the bag! My husband is more the photographer, and I know he likes his shutter remote control a lot 🙂

  772. In the bag! I love my sling style camera bag – it allows me easy access during hikes.

    Yay, my hubby gave me a new lens for my birthday (after looking at the bower’s recommendations). I’m getting used to it and playing with it every chance I get.

  778. IN THE BAG! I love my extra memory card so I don’t have to worry when I don’t download my pictures often enough

  780. In the bag!
    I love my 50 mm lens. I always love the results that one produces.

  781. In the Bag
    I love my 50 mm lens. Sharp where you need it, blurred background, what’s not to love!

  782. “In the Bag!” I love the 50mm fixed lens I just borrowed from a friend, and plan to get one soon!

  783. In the bag.

    Does my son count? He’s the best subject! If not, I love my 35mm lens.

  785. Ahh what a great giveaway! I’m just starting to take more photos, so I don’t even know what my favorite equipment would be other than the camera itself! 🙂

  788. In the bag!

    I’m excited that I just got my first DSLR camera so that I could take shots of our honeymoon!

  789. In the bag! I was so excited when we got a tripod for our camera so we could take family self-portraits.

  794. In the Bag – My favorite accessory is my remote so we can take family portraits

  800. In the Bag! I just got a smart phone, so currently obsessed with Instagram!

  802. I think I do love my extra battery because it has saved the day so many times that and the extra memory card.

  804. In the bag! I also love my nifty fifty lense, but would love to get some others to play around with soon. Also extra memory cards for when I just get out of control clicking away;)
