I’m really excited to be teaching Digital Photography 101 on creativeLIVE! Thanks to my kind and generous sponsors, if you’re watching, listening, and learning during the course you’re eligible to win some very cool (and valuable) photo prizes. All you have to do is follow me on Twitter and LIKE me on Facebook. Tweet an inspirational quote or idea you learned during the course @erinmanning. My team of elves will go thru everything and announce the winners on on October 29th on my Facebook page.

(1) FJ Westcott Erin Manning Home Studio Lighting Kit
As you’ll see during the course, this lighting kit is easy to use and produces beautiful lighting. It just plugs right into the wall, is cool to the touch, and is safe to use around babies and kids.

(2) FJ Westcott 30″ 5-in-1 reflectors
I never go anywhere without my reflector!


(1) Lowepro Urban Reporter 150 Camera Bag A very smart-looking and practical camera bag. It holds quite a bit for being so small and it doesn’t scream out “camera bag.”

(3) copies of each of my books, Portrait and Candid Photography and Make Money with your Digital Photography.
Portrait and Candid Photography helps you capture beautiful pictures of people and Make Money with Your Digital Photography is an inspiring book that helps you figure out your photographic path in life.

My publisher, Wiley, is also offering a 40% discount on my books from October 25 – October 31! Kinda cool. Here’s the scoop on that: Save 40% on Portrait and Candid Photography 2nd edition with promo code EMCL1! Call 1-877-762-2974 and mention promo code EMCL1, or go to http://bit.ly/erinsbooks and upon checkout, enter EMCL1 in the Promotion Code field. Click the “apply discount” button and finish the checkout process. Offer valid October 25 – 31, 2013.

(2) 64GB SanDisk Extreme SDXC memory cards. After you watch the course, you’ll understand why a good quality memory card is a must when capturing still shots and video.


So there you have it. Watch, listen, ask questions in the chat rooms, and then Tweet your favorite quote or inspiration. See you there 🙂
