Each month, Sue posts a new tutorial on the HOP blog, with photo examples and helpful links. Our magazine and blog readers are encouraged to submit their photos, which are then shared on the HOP blog and entitle them to a chance to win a randomly drawn prize each month!
I'm excited to announce that the blog hop prize I have to give away to one lucky commenter is this prize pack from Cosmo Cricket:
Want a chance to win this prize? In celebrating our one-year anniversary, we'd like to invite you to review one of our past tutorials. My choice is the December 2009 tutorial on Bokeh.
