Photo contest: Win 3 lens cap clips!

Hello reader, listen up! This blog is about to have its first photo contest! It is a contest of the most beautiful photo which fits the rules and the theme.

No matter your age, your location and your level in photography, you can be a contestant. Let me explain the rules, they are quite simple:

All photographs will be considered, no matter the camera it came from. Simple photo manipulation is allowed
There is no limitation in the number of photos a contestant can send
Please send a little description along with the photo

And the theme is... “My precioussss” !! I let you interpret it as you will.

My precious!!! Oh no, the ring has a mind of its own! This was kind of an outtake during the shoot. Alice was trying to take off her ring and had this priceless facial expression. The light was setup perfectly and I managed to capture this great moment. This picture showed how easy to work with Alice was. :) Canon 5D 24-70 1/200 @ F8 ISO100 580EXII + 430EXII shoot through umbrella camera right triggered by Cybersync.

Cheap accessory guide: lens cap clip

Don't you think there is a major practical problem with your dSLR? When you take it out of its bag, you put the strap on, remove the lens cap, turn the camera on and start shooting.
You take your shot, look at the picture (and smile), turn off the camera, put the lens cap back o... wait... where is... not that pocket... not this one... not here... Where in the world is the ^$*@#!* lens cap??
You know what I mean right? Most of the time, after two minutes you remember where you put your lens cap. Hopefully it wasn't in a dusty pocket. Some other times however it fell somewhere and you won't ever find it back. It's not that expensive, but losing it is very annoying and your lens remains unprotected until you get a new one (which you might end up losing too).

Sometimes the best ideas are the simplest. Hüfa definitely got that! They sell what should comes with every camera: a lens cap clip. Attach it on your bag, camera strap, shirt, anywhere you want and don't lose your cap ever again. You get one for $12.95 and three for $33, free shipping in the US. Until camera manufacturers think of a place on your camera where you could clip your cap, this is probably your best option.
