Photo Basics By Westcott/Shutterbug Photo Contest
By Shutterbug Staff May 23, 2007 — Westcott is offering their Photo Basics by Westcott customers the chance to have their photos published in Shutterbug Magazine. Contestants must use a Photo Basics lighting kit to create an image then submit it for the chance to win one of three prizes offered in the contest. The grand prize winner will have their photo published in Shutterbug Magazine. Second place earns the photographer recognition of their imagery on the www.photobasics.net web site. All three prize winners will gain a free one-year subscription to the Shutterbug publication. The deadline for submissions is July 30, 2007. Details are available and submissions can be made on the Photo Basics web site.

Photo Basics, a division of the F.J. Westcott Company, is developed to be the first series of photographic lighting kits to come packaged complete with education. Education is truly what separates Photo Basics from everything else as each kit will walk the beginner photographer through an introduction to photography, how to operate and understand a digital camera, lighting and posing subjects, along with other tips and techniques. With the use of an exclusive step-by-step instructional DVD, a helpful floor positioning mat and tons of detail, the average beginner will be framing or selling images instead of keeping them hidden! For the beginning pro looking to enhance their already great images, this system provides not only education to further their skill, but a quick, portable set-up to insure all of those great images are captured with great lighting.
