A Bokeh Masters Kit Giveaway

 

Update: This giveaway is now over. The three winners were randomly selected and announced below. Thanks for participating!


When Udi Tirosh over at DIYPhotography launched the Bokeh Masters Kit a few weeks ago, we said we’d be giving away a couple kits here on PetaPixel in early January 2010. Well, here it is! We’re giving away three (3) Masters Edition Bokeh Masters Kits that each normally cost $35. Over 500 of these bokeh-customizing kits have been sold since they were introduced.

To enter, all you have to do is answer the following question:

What is your favorite book?

There’s two ways to enter this contest, and you can use both methods to double your chances:

  1. Leave your response as a comment (on this PetaPixel.com post)
  2. Tweet your answer, and include the following link to this post anywhere in the tweet: http://j.mp/ppxlbmk

    As long as the link is found somewhere in your tweet, you will be entered in this giveaway.

We will randomly select the three winners in two days on 1/13/10, and announce the winners in this post. Good luck!
