I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and Santa brought you everything you asked for. I got a great surprise to day that I made it into the second round of voting for the win a laptop competition over at The Thinking Blog to win a RuffPC Laptop.

If you voted in the first round, thankyou very much but here we go again. I am now no 9. in the second round. So if you think my review is deserving to win a laptop then please vote for me again.

]]> Its now Christmas eve in Australia and I have got my How to Photograph Fireworks Tutorial out of the way so that means a few days away from the computer for me.

I just want to wish all my readers a Merry Christmas. I hope you have a wonderful and joyful time and really enjoy spending this special time of year with your family. If you are taking photos on Christmas Day, just remember to try and get the expressions on peoples faces as they open presents. Theres nothing like the look of genuine surprise on Christmas Day. Oh yeah, dont spend all day behind the camera, I will let you have one day off a year.

For all the Australian girls and boys here is an Aussie Santa Tracker Link . Read what santa has been doing to prepare for his flight and track his journey tonight.

For those of you in America heres another fun Santa Tracker link. Track santa across the globe as he makes his journey to all the girls and boys delivering Christmas cheer. If you have google earth installed you can follow in 3D.

Santa Tracker Link

Heres another Santa Tracker Link as well as other fun Christmas games.

I hope you’ve all been good girls and boys and nobody gets a lump of coal in their stocking.

HO HO HO!!!

]]> There are some time wasting surveys out there that are just a pain in the butt but this ones a bit different.  How many 5 year olds could you take on in a fight? My mate Matt put me on to this survey. I think its pretty funny.

31

Matt only managed 25 but I think its because he is so short and is a self confessed uber Mac nerd. Now if it was number of 5 year olds he could take on in a Mac-Off then he would win for sure. Funny!

 Go check it out here and see how many you could take.

]]> As promised I was going to write up a tutorial about how to photograph christmas lights. Unfortunately time is running out and I just couldnt put it together how I wanted so in the interests of great photography I looked over at Strobist and found they had already done a How To Photograph Christmas Lights Tutorial

Strobist is great for any kind of photography tutorials in most tricky light situations. Its well worth looking around at all the different assignments and courses they run over there. I highly recommend the Lighting 101 and 102 courses. They have helped improved my off camera flash photography many times over. I believe the photography community owes alot to Strobist for helping to lift the standard of photos everywhere!

The How To Photograph Christmas Lights post provides some great tips about getting the best from your adventures around the magical lighting wonderland at this time of year. I would just like to emphasize the part about your foregrounds. Strong foregrounds make a strong photograph. If you are taking your kids then make sure they get in a few as well, the looks on kids faces are the best at light displays. Something so simple brings such a lot of joy to the little people.

]]> Win a Laptop Keyboard

For those of you who read my last post about how My Computer Has Died I had decided it is time to buy a laptop. In my efforts to start looking around for a new laptop I came across a competition to win a laptop. Now that suits my needs in two ways, cheap and solves my problem. In my original post I was entering a competition to win a laptop but that has ended so to keep information up to date I decided to support a fellow bloggers win a Macbook AIR competition instead. This post has been rewritten to best maximise an old post and build on the win a laptop traffic I have been getting.

So over at Shoemoney.com he is having a Win A Laptop Competition. Its really easy to enter, just leave a comment somewhere on the Shoemoney website and if you are randomly chosen you can go in the monthly draw to win a laptop – a MacBook Air to be exact.

Thanks to sposnorship by ACS Consulting the Macbook air will be given away on the 1st September. So get in ASAP and leave a comment (dont leave a crap comment cause thats not cool) somewhere on his blog where you think you can add to the conversation.

After this competition has ended in September I will update this post again with a new Win a Laptop competition
