I’d like to think my favorite photography subject is people, but as I sort through photos, I find that I take a lot of unusual angles of landscape and cityscapes. Weird, huh?
I would LOVE to win this giveaway. Perfect excuse to finally buy Photoshop!
Thanks Amanda!
i love to take photos of landscapes. with candids being a close second! :)
Scenery, as in big beautiful skylines and such. Living near Montreal now is perfect and I can have both the old and the new to play with.
I love to capture photos of events, people and pets. It just depends on what’s going on at the time. Often times I capture photos to go with a story I want to tell. I love words but sometimes a picture really is worth a thousand!
Awesome prize!! Thanks for the chance to win!!
My favorite subjects are my kiddos!!!

Eyes… I absolutely adore focusing in on the eyes and getting that crisp and clear image… And to define my favorite a little further, I love capturing the eyes of children!

I love to scrapbook so I take pictures of mostly my friends and family. Add some scenery shots and I’ve got a page to complete!
I just love taking pictures of things that I love. Like my family and friends for instance, or my cats. The best part about digital is you can take a million shots! lol- as long as my subject holds still for that long!
Elderly People make the BEST photo’s!! :-) So much character. Even if it’s just a picture of their face, there’s a lifetime of stories there :-)
I mostly photograph my two boys. This would be great to improve the results.
My favorite photography subjects are interior design, babies, clothing and food!
My favorite subject is my three little boys…however they do not share the feeling!
My kids are my favourite!
I prefer to take photographs of people , although I also enjoy nature. Hope to win this!
That is so awesome Amanda! I love your pics and when I saw your Chicago photos it made me want to go there even more. I always have my camera with me and while I take the most pictures of my children I also like to take pictures of their 4-H activities and projects, as well as the outdoors, and to record the process of our diy home remodel. Children grow up so fast I like to capture everything I can:) I would absolutely love to win the Topaz Plugins to help make my pictures and new blog even more special! I am just starting to create my 1st blog and have been using your blogging tips, which for the first time makes it easy for me. Thanks for this opportunity!
I love to photograph my babies! But, I love to see all sorts of subjects in others’ photography :)
My favorite photos are ones of family and friends, especially when they don’t know you’re taking the picture. These are the best when you catch them off guard and they don’t have time to pose!
My favorite subject to photograph is my family! I love capturing all the day to day stuff and then scrapbooking those moments.
I love to take pictures of my two granddaughters, ages 2 and 3, when they are playing and not posing, sooo cute.
I love shooting nature and flowers to sell people to hang in their homes. It is awesome knowing someone will spend money on a piece of art i created! Also weddings, I LOVE watching people celebrate their love for one another with their families and friends
My favorite subject is my gorgeous 4 year old daughter! Landscapes are my next favorite.
Firstly – wow!! There are a lot of comments already! Insane!
Secondly – my favorite thing to photograph is nature. I really like to use the macro setting on my camera and take upclose shots of flowers, bugs, etc. I think it’s neat to see all the little details that you wouldn’t notice on a quick glance.
I would love to have this set of plug-ins to enhance my photos. I am a graphic designer by trade, scrapbooking is one of my hobbies and this would be lots of fun to use.
I like taking pictures of babies! There are so many fun things you can do.
I LOVE taking pictures of my little one! She’s 18 months old and as soon as she sees the camera, she says “cheese”!
I LOVE to photograph my little nieces & nephews & of course my kids. I LOVE using photoshop plugins & actions!
People, for sure. But not posed, just random shots, capturing true expressions.
Thanks for the giveaway!
My love portraits and scenery..unfortunately I got a camera that is a little too advanced for me (Canon 20D) so I am still learning how to use it…and with 2 babies under 3 I dont get that much practice time…but I love editing photos as well :) This would be so fun to play with!!
My Favorite is children!!!!!!! I love capturing those little expressions on their cute little faces! What an amazing bundle! :)
Flowers !!! Love the flowers.
I love to take photos of people…babies especially. I do find that I often take pictures of flowers and scenery as well. They’re not my favorite, but they somehow jump into the camera! = )
I love to take pictures of my sweet little boy :) I have to document his littlehood, it won’t last long!
I love to photograph my kids, but they don’t always want to cooperate!! But I love to get their crazy expressions!! Thanks Amanda! Hope I win!
Wow, thanks Amanda and Topaz! I love taking photos of scenery and nature and would love to own this software. Thanks for the chance! :+)
If I had to pick a subject it would be things unseen. I love capturing the things that are beautiful but most overlook. A withered old tree, a paint chipping barn, etc. :)
Over all, I’m gonna take pictures of anything and everything I can document. ;)
That is an awesome package!! Nature and animals are my favorite!!
It used to be scenery, but since I had a baby and don’t leave the house now, I have to be more creative!
My daughter and out family moments. Along
with our trips.
I love to capture pictures of my family because they are the focus of my life. Making memories is what life is all about. I am so happy to have found your website. I’m just so inspired. Thank you!!!
Cool! I love photographing just about anything…but I think within the next month, my favorite subject will be my niece Gabriella! She’ll be here before we know it and I’ll be ready to click away!
I love to photograph my baby girl. She has such wonderful expressions and I want to capture each one of them.
Oooooooooh how awesome!!! My favorite subject to photograph is people… I love capturing people ‘in the moment’… :-)I hope I win!!! lol
I love taking pictures of people. I especially love taking ones of my grandchildren! Karen
My 3 year old little miracle is my best subject. We take advantage everyday God gives us with him and that includes taking thousands of photos. I put many of the photos I take on his website which updates all our friends and family about how he is doing. I have been working hard to learn the best way to take and edit his photos and this package is amazing!! What a wonderful giveaway!! I’m excited for you to have such an awesome way to help people find your site! I love your blog!!! Keep up the great post!!! Love the fonts too!!!
I love photographing people. Especially babies/kids. I capture every moment of my son’s day to day basis, so I can send them daily to my husband while he’s deployed because he is missing out on a lot.
Oh this is so fabulous Amanda! I think my favorite thing to take photos of is scenery. I just love shooting different angles on the same subject. Yay for your giveaway!!
Thank you for the great opportunity! Love your blog!
I love to photograph children but lately I’ve really enjoyed photographing Yosemite. But I’m sure that will be changing shortly, I’m expecting a baby and I’m sure he/she will become my favorite subject! Thanks again!
I’m just starting out with photography and I love taking pictures of EVERYTHING. And I just want to know everything about photography! All at once! I wish I could just absorb information!
I would love this… my camera isn’t the best quality and pictures I take often turn out filled with noise if I take them with over 80 ISO (which is practically always).
I love to photograph kids!
I love photographing my kid’s! Never a dull moment!!!
I love anything that has to do with photography! I grew up watching my grandfather who was a novice nature photographer. I discovered it was my passion about 5 years ago and I am so glad that my grandfather was able to see it before he passed away. He gave me several antique cameras and a couple of film ones that I still use on occasion, I will cherish them forever. I recently went back to school and it’s my goal to get that degree, it’s going to be 4 long years but I know that it would make him proud so it gives me the drive! PS. Love all of your photos! =)
My favorite subject: my family and friends! I think they get sick of me taking pictures of them, but I make them smile away anyway!
My favorite subject to photograph is Bella!
I love to take pictures of my drama mama Boston Terrier, Piglet. She has so many expression!
Brides and Groomals for sure!!
My kiddos are my favorite subject!
My dogs are my favorite thing to take pictures of – their expressions are priceless!

I love photographing my sweet Chihuahuas!
Wow! What a neat tool you found! My daughter is getting married next May and I can only imagine what fun I could have with this ‘new toy’. Crossing my fingers, Karen
I love to take random photos of people doing just basic everyday things. No poses or even really looking at the camera, just totally spontaneous.
My favorite themes are pets and children. They give us nice pics.
Thanks for sharing this outstanding prize with us.
WOW! I love your blog and follow it all the time. I live in the incredibly beautiful town of Glenwood Springs, Colorado and love to photograph nature in my area. I also spend a lot of “ink” with pictures of my two beautiful boys. Have a great day!
