I Clicked it Up a Notch Photography Contest-April 2012
Lifestyle

Did you click it up a notch this past month? I bet you did!! I hope you decide to share your best/favorite photo from the month.

I got to photograph my friend and her sweet little one days before she gave birth to baby #2. I love his little smirk!

In order to be eligible to win, please read the list below.

  • -Only one photo in the entry post.
  • -Our button (not just a link) must be in the post.
  • -The photo needs to have been taken this month.
  • -Summit your permalink, not your main blog address. You can use a flickr account as well (Just add the button in the comment section)

Click It Up A Notch

That’s it! It’s that simple! So go through all your photos you have taken in April and submit your favorite/best one. Don’t forget to leave comments on the other entries because that is half the fun!! I recommend commenting on the 5 people in front of you. That way everyone gets at least 5 comments.

Also, submit your photo early since those seem to be the ones who receive the most comments! Unfortunately, I won’t be able to comment on everyone’s photo who submits! I will do my best but I can’t make any promises :O)

We will pick our top 5 favorite and post them on Monday morning, May 7th(Japan Time/Sunday evening EST) for you to vote for the winner. The voting will be open until May 9th (Wednesday night Japan Time/Wednesday morning EST) and the winner will be announced Friday, May 11th (Japan time).

    I’ve just entered for the first time. I hope I did everything right! Commenting on some fantastic photos at the moment. Thanks for contest. The post on metering from the sky helped when I was taking my entry photo.

    Question: I am trying to put a blog post with the button in it, but I am having trouble figure out how! Help please :) It’s gotta be simple… right?

    • May 1, 2012 at 2:26 PM

      Are you using Blogger? If so, make sure you are in the “edit html” section not the “compose” section. There should be a tab on the right hand side. Once in “edit html” copy the whole code underneath the button and paste it into your post. Let me know if you are still having troubles.

      • May 1, 2012 at 8:59 PM

        Got it! Thank you so much!

            Oh man! I added the code for you but apparently it just did the button :O) Oops! Just head up top and grab the code starting with

            and ending with

    Just entered for my first time as well! So excited to have found your website though!

    I don’t have a website yet, so I left my Facebook fan page I made for my friends to view my pictures until I’m fully going as a photographer, which is my dream!

    This inspired me to keep up with adding to the photography section on my blog. I added a new post with the photos I took a couple of weeks ago and added my link.
