NikonSniper 3000 Celebration


Need extra storage space? Make sure you enter this NikonSniper drawing for a Western Digital – My Passport Essential 750GB External USB 2.0 Hard Drive.

That’s right! In the next few months we will cross the 3000 follower milestone and in an effort to say thanks we will host a drawing for a 750GB Hard Drive.

I wish I could give these to everyone to say thanks properly but I haven’t won a lottery yet. I can tell you that the comments on this blog and all over the Internet on your blogs have been very encouraging and indeed humbling. Believe me … I know I am not as good as some of you declare … but it is so nice to know it is appreciated. Many thanks to all of you.

Contest rules are simple!
1. You must be a listed follower of the NikonSniper blog. After the drawing, I will check to see if the winner is in the list of followers.
2. Respond to THIS post in the comments with the request, “Please enter me in the NikonSniper 3000 contest.”
3. Wait patiently. The winner will be drawn within days of crossing the 3000 follower milestone.

YES, you can win if you are in a far away place! The last winner of the 200GB Hard Drive was from far eastern Canada. And that’s like … way out there, EH! So you can win no matter where you are from … unless you are one of my relatives. I don’t like kissin’ yer sister with a favor, so to speak.

Thanks again to all of you who make this blog interesting. You provide the words and meaning to many of the photos captured in my moments on the road. I do not comment on many photos because I like to hear what they mean to you without me explaining much about the photo. You all have a very different thoughts or stories remembered by the same photo and that’s where this blog truly becomes yours too!
God bless you all!

I haven't won the lottery either and don't expect to win this either, but what the heck, I'm just trying to find things to do today.

Maybe I'll go out and shoot. Oh, maybe not, for I haven't got too much memory on my computer left and it's a drag copying on to DVDs all the time.

Hi, Stephen!

Wow! Congrats on all the "followers" that you have. (I signed up as a "follower", by the way.)

I'm not even close to that many "followers" on my blogs. But, thanks to you, I am one person closer on "two" of my blogs! That was so amazing of you to do that. I hope that I prove myself worthy of you having done that for me.

"“Please enter me in the NikonSniper 3000 contest.” That is so cool of you to reward your "followers" like that.

Furthermore: "Best wishes to everyone".

cyndelouwho22(at)gmail(dot)com

Have a fantabulous week and God bless you, Stephen.

Sincerely,
Cynde

W Matsubuchi said...

I completely concur with NikonSniper's philosophy around photography and our place in God's world!

My first digital and current back-up is my D70. Now, it's semi-permanently attached to the 80-400 lens. Every day, it's my D200+ 18-200...rather upgrade lenses than bodies at this point. This D200/18-200 is definitely my favourite for versatility at home and travelling! I have an 18-70 backup. On the wishlist is either 10-24 or 12-24...need to check further before investing.
