Well — of course my favorite it my kids…but I’m really starting to love architecture. I LOVE the photos where you see they have found letters out of different architectural details to spell out words. I’m not very good at it yet — but it’s a goal. Thanks for your info! You’re a joy.
I love landscapes!!
People!
My favorite subjects of course are my children. I’m pretty partial. Fingers crossed that I win!
It’s hard to decide. I think I would have to say people!
My favorite thing to photograph is my kids at random doing different activities. I love getting the ‘in the moment’ pictures with the different facial expressions. The pictures of them are things I keep dear to me and love to make collages and books. Some of the random pictures make great gifts too. My husband and I take about 40-50 per week of them.

Thanks for the chance of winning this awesome prize!

I love to photograph my family and friends, especially my 15 month old son. Portraits, creative shots, special events and natural moments – I am eager to practice them all. I just got a new DSLR camera and I am scrolling the web in my spare moments to learn about photography and ways to enhance photography after the picture has been taken. As a beginner, passionate about developing skills in this area, this prize would be a real asset! Thank you.
I love taking photos of my kids and using the photos to do great scrapbooking layouts! We have given them cameras as well so they can share their world with us through photos. Its always fun to see the photos once they are developed.
Definately my two kids!
Oh, this would be FABULOUS!!! My favorite subject is my little girl!!! I always, always wanted to adopt a baby girl from China, so in 2004, I DID!! She is the most precious thing in my life and i LOVE to photograph her!

Can’t wait to try these new filters.
Ok. Mega-fat-chance I’ll be winning this giveaway with 1500 people having posted ahead of me.
I looooooove how the Chicago picture turned out! See, I’m not one who cares for building/skyline photos because I’ve felt they aren’t my “thing” but after seeing how amaaaaazing your photo was I do have to say that I am being converted!
I like candid photos but it seems like everyone is doing those these days so they’re not as much as my fave as they used to be. I guess I would have to say that I love pictures taken from odd angles, because they’re different and were made thinking “out of the box”.
Amanda, I love photographing anything that captures my imagination.
And I love to tweak a photo. I use Elements, but I know I could
really get behind this Topaz program in a big way!! Thanks for
the opportunity to win.
My favorite is people…but candids of people. I love to capture the moments that sometimes get overlooked.
Matthew, Matthew, Matthew… all day, everyday! A mother’s heart, soul and joy! Thanks for sharing!

I like to shoot just about everything. You can see from my website and blog there isn’t much I haven’t photographed at one time or the other. I started with Nikon equipment but reliability and factory service was so bad I sold it all and have been shooting Canon ever since. I shoot weddings, events, NPOs, Portraits, strobe and natural lighting. I also shoot video covering all the same plus create animations in 2D and 3D.
I just came across your blog and you do a great job of presenting useful info. Keep up the great work!

I love taking close-ups of my 9 month old daughter :)
My favorite thing to photograph are my kids. I am new (1 year) to digital scrapbooking and my designs are fairly simple. I think the focus should be on the photo and the story it tells, not the decorations of a page. :)
Scenery and people, depends on my mood.
I love to shoot cars… with a camera.
Scenery used to be my fav…..but now it is precious son :) Thanks for offering the giveaway!! :)
I love nature. I moved to Tennessee last winter and in the spring saw the most gorgeous, rolling bright yellow fields. Turns out they were growing canola! But I got some amazing pictures with old barns and rickety fence lines with the yellow flowers. Very pretty. Now they’re growing sunflowers – thousands of them. Another gorgeous sight.
Nothing’s better than photographing kids…especially my own!
I love portraits, but also love scenery! You’re work is absolutely amazing!
I love taking pictures of my kids. I prefer the sport mode. I would love this photo editing software.

My two boys are always great subjects, but I would say people in general. I love capturing them in the moment and freezing that moment to cherish for a lifetime. There’s nothing better than telling a story through a photograph – like your life story as you and Kevin progressed over time. People are my passion! Dogs, as you have experienced, are great subjects as well!
I love baby/young child photography!

Wow what an amazing giveaway! I absolutely love taking scenery photos and your picture turned out amazing!!
People, especially my loved ones, are my favorite subject!

My favorite subject in photography is portraits, next in line would be abstract images.
I love to shoot weddings… everyone looks great and the love and joy that can be felt is amazing.
My little 15 month old girl is… scratch that… use to be fun to photograph. : ) But now she is mobile and chases after me and searches for my lens cap – once she finds it she attempts to put it back on for no more pictures. If I am sneaky though I can get some great shots and she sure keeps me creative. : ) What a fantastic giveaway! Thank you Amanda!
My little girl, when she will let me!!!
my kids, of course
People, especially kids. Awesome giveaway!
I love to take pictures of my boy/girl twins and our golden Tabasco.

Without a doubt I love to photograph my kids…but I have the world’s best..I know you’ll disagree…Boston Terrier. His name is Peso and well we love to take lots of pictures of him and his “smile!”. TFor the chance!
I love photographing children! It is quite the workout though :) Thanks for the opportunity to win!
My beautiful children!
Oh how I am absolutely drooling over this giveaway. I am currently taking photography classes at The Showcase School of Photography in Atlanta.

I love taking portraits, but after seeing your picture if I win this I might just convert to landscapes!
Favorite thing to photograph…. People’s eyes and facial expressions. They tell so much!
My favourite photography subject is…whimsical scenes, be it with adults, children or the older generation, sometimes even featuring interesting inanimate objects – anything “fantastical” shot on a natural background, with an added air of “magic”. A little bokeh doesn’t hurt, either ;)
I LOVE taking pictures of my five month old baby boy. He is growig so fast it is an AWESOME way to capture the memories!
Hi Amanda! My favorite subjects are definately my children (when they allow me!). I love getting that photo that makes you a little happy teary eyed and perfect! I also love to capture moments of other people’s children and surprise them with a gorgeous picture that gives them that same feeling! I would love to try Topaz!
my favorite subject is my family. ♥
Being new to photography, I love to photograph just about everything! Everywhere I go, I find interesting things to photograph.

I LOVE taking pictures of my little boy!! He’s the best little model I could ask for!

People and landscapes. Thanks for the chance to win!
I love photographing kids!
Love to photograph my boys and dog. A close second would have to be food!
I love to take pictures . You name it and I have probably taken a picture of it. :)
Looks like a really cool set of tools that could really add wow factor to your pictures.
I love taking pictures of nature – animals, flowers and even weeds. LOL!!
I like to take pictures of my 3 kids and 2 Bostons . . . unfortunately, it is nearly impossible to get them to all hold still-ish and stay within camera frame, so I often just get scenery pictures of wherever we are!
LOVE LOVE LOVE your photography how tos and edits. I’m itchin’ to get my hands on this software. Take care and thanks for offering the giveaway.
I love photograph people, especially kids. Love their carefree laughs, smiles and energy..priceless.
If I had to choose right now it would be the ocean and travel photos!
I love nature pictures. I love the colors!
What I like the most is taking pictures of my two little cuzzies :) Especially with my new telelens it’s awesome watching them play through the camera and shooting the funniest snapshots!
I love topaz! Fingers crossed.
Shan
Oh and forgot to add…I love people. I am a people watcher so doing portraits was a no brainer for me but I am finding a love of doing macro too so I have done a lot of flower/insect shots lately.
My favorite subject would have to be my family! And food! Yup, family and food. Love them both so much! I especially love candid family photos. Capturing the perfect moment is a great feeling.
HI: I am definitely enthralled with taking pictures of the skies in all types of weather. But my biggest thrill is taking pictures of my family when they don’t know I have the camera. You can get some awesome shots when people aren’t looking. I am deep into the study of Paint Shop Pro and get extremely excited every new step I learn! HAGD.
Topaz DeNoise?? That is TOO great! My landscape and scenery are often taken quickly so they end up being grainy. YEA!
. . . Now if only there were a product for patience so that I could put my camera on the right settings in the first place :))
I absolutely love photography babies and families. I’ve tried still life and scenery and it just doesn’t get my juices flowing in the same way. Thanks so much for the chance to win!
Wow. I can’t believe how many comments you get for these contests! Amazing! Must be rewarding to know you have so many peeps following you! I love taking photos of my pets…they are like my children!

I enjoy taking pictures of just about anything. I like scenery and action photos.
Hi Amanda, I love taking pictures of my kids. They are such hams for the camera so it’s better to catch them off guard to take their pictures so that I don’t get cross-eyes distored expressions :o).
I, like you enjoy photographing my dog! She is a boxer and this would help with the fun things I COULD do to her photographs!
I haven’t seen this product yet, but it looks awesome.
My favorite subject is scenery. I used to get in so much trouble as a kid taking pictures “with no people in them” from my dad, once he got the rolls developed :)
My friends and family enjoying life.
My baby girl!
After years of doing mostly nature shots I have gotten into photographing people. Still learning.
I like landscapes and architectural photography. Topaz does amazing things to the details in these pictures. I would LOVE to have the whole suite.
I love to photograph my kids especially all their sports

My favorite subject is my two children =)
This looks great. I have never used Topaz before. I take lots of pictures of our kids, but sometimes lighting and shadows and who-knows-what make the shots less than perfect, so this would be fun to play with. Thanks for the giveaway!
What an absolutely amazing giveaway! I prefer scenery shots and then it’s pics of family fun times. I am really into learning more about aperture right now so I am reading the book you recomended (Undertanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson).
These products look amazing! I am new to photography, but taking pictures of my two beautiful daughters has become a real passion. These filters would make everything more beautiful and vivid. I hope I win!!
Food. I love to take pictures of what I cook and really great meals.
I would definately like to use this for my family pictures.
Topaz sounds like a great tool! I have never heard of it. I really like to take pictures of my dog, friends and scenery. I am sure Topaz would be a great tool!
I LOVE photographing just about everything, but my absolute favorite subject is my dogs, as well as my friends’ dogs. I also love taking photos of my son at his many sporting events.

Right now my favorite subject is my life! But I do want to go pro, and I’m starting to portraits for other people now.
My favorite subject right now are all the different flowers and scenery we have here on the Island of Okinawa. Can’t wait to frame a few of them!

It depends on the moment. If I’m traveling, it’s scenery. If I’m in the garden it may be a leaf, a bug or a broken pot. If I’m with my niece (my favorite subject), it’s ALL about her. If I’m at a family gathering, it’s candid photos. Thanks for the great giveaway! Whoever wins will have tons of fun, I’m sure.
I love taking pictures of kids… but I also love animals! We just went to the zoo today & took some great ones. :)
I really don’t have a favourite subject, I enjoy every genre, the hardest I suppose are people in the street. I shoot mostly in infrared at 665nm. I find faces are best in black and white, landscapes in false colour and inanimate objects in a mixture of media.
Very cool! I’ve never heard of Topaz Labs. I love all topics of photography, especially the how to’s. And I like shooting peoples. :)
I love taking pictures of people… but now that I have my first baby, who was born at the end of July, she’s my favorite to photograph!!
I must tell you that I LOVE photographing people!
All kinds of people.
I especially like catching people unaware.
I do enjoy taking pics of my girls, they are easy subjects.
I think I really like taking photos of babies! Sigh… I need a fix!
How exciting! I have never heard of that editing system before! It looks like a wonderful program! My favorite would have to be portraits. I just love seeing peoples reactions after I show them their edited photos! Thanks Kevin and Amanda!
Love, Sabrina
travel photos fa sho fa sho. but also, in the past 9 months, i’ve fallen in love with taking photos of my great dane puppy. he’s the best!
My daughters are my favorite subjects. Love this blog!
I absolutely love people and capture their emotions !!
I also love Chicago (my favorite city in the whole world!!!!). I even took that same picture and would love it to look like yours….
Along with the other 1309 people I would so love to win this. I am new to Digital – getting the hang of it and loving it . . . I LOVE taking pictures of my 15 year old son playing sports and my 6 year old grand-daughter, doing anything – LOL! I’d so enjoy this!
I love photographing still life and close-up shots. I find it difficult directing people, and still life / close-up photography usually just involves you, your camera and your object.
Definitely portraits :) People’s emotions are just so fascinating to capture, and every single portrait is different and special in their own way :)
People! My own kids or other families.
Oh my gosh, this would be thee greatest thing in the world to have! :) Thank you so much for this opportunity, especially to Topaz for putting this package together :)
I love taking pictures of everything. My favorite subjects are my kids, of course
Wow, Gorgeous! I love taking pictures of my kids and family. Thanks for the awesome giveaway.
My favorite subjects are people and landscapes.
My favorite subject is definitely portraits :)
I have a passion for taking photographs of family and friends and capturing that truly special moment that make you say “Ah”!
Thanks for the giveaway contest. I love to shoot pictures of ordinary and not so glamorous things to make them look special in their own light. For example, hands, people shadows, fences, etc. I also love taking nature photos. I’m still learning but it’s all fun! Good luck all!!
What a beautiful b4 & after!! Love the possibilities! My favorite subject is my family!! I never thought I’d have one, would be so lost without them and they brighten my days in ways I never imagined!
I love taking pictures of my son. To be able to capture a moment in time forever, and look at it years from now, what a wonderful thing!
I love to photograph a beautiful landscape!
I love photos that include the weather, beautiful sunrises, sunsets, cloud formations, and nature in general all the while grand standing my 13 year old son, and my furry daughter (Yorkie- Jewel) and furry other son (poodle mix-Max). Pictures are always about the beauty of the world, but incorporating the beauty of my little nook of the world.
I never cared that much about how my snapshots turned out until my son came along. He’s a total miracle, and my inspiration for wanting to learn all I can about photography and photo editing. This software looks AMAZING, and I’d love to win!
I would love to win! Hope I made it by the deadline! I love photographing people.
Love to take pics of bluegrass musicians!!
I enjoy taking pictures of nature, but depending on the situation, I take pictures of food, people, animals what ever is going to remind me of that moment. My hubby and I are off to the USA today (9 Sept) and one of the places we will be visiting is Chicago. I would love to win this package and hope that I am a lukcy one. Thanks for offering the give-away. Michelle from South Africa
I prefer sceneries, specially cities and countryside. And also I enjoy taking pictures about all our animals.
What a great package! My favorite subject for photos is people, particularly my daughter, although it takes a fair amount of bribery now! LOL
My favorite photography subject is people, especially my daughter and husband. Landscapes can be beautiful, but I’m always drawn to faces!
I prefer to photograph scenery/nature or people. I like to photograph my dog too but it’s not that easy. Never really tried food.
Thanks!
I love taking pictures of trees from the ground… looking up at the branches and seeing patches of the sky above!
I love to photograph children, especially when it’s spontaneous! I also like taking picture of people outdoors, having fun…
I loved doing landscapes before and babies. Of course my favorite subject now is my 5week old son, hes the cutest to photograph! I want to capture all those little faces he makes!
I LOVE photography of babies. I think there is so much you can capture in the innocence of a young baby and in their eyes. It can be breathtaking. I also love capturing scenery – specifically mountains. I think they are majestic!
I love taking pictures of people! Especially if it’s a picture that reminds me of something that was happening at that time.
I recently became a first time Aunt, and have spent A LOT of time photographing my new niece. I hope my two kids aren’t jealous…meep!
These are sooooo cool! Thanks for the opportunity to win! My favorite subjects are people. I enjoy getting expressions and capturing moments that last a lifetime with my camera!
My favorite subjects are my kids! Then I would have to say trees. I love to capture special moments for my kids scrapbooks. This software looks very cool!
Hi Amanda!!!
I love to photograph- my Bostons, other dogs, too, kids (they are the best for candid shots!), love macro shots of flowers, butterflies and hummingbirds when i am fortunate to be at the right place at the right time.
I love to shoot the special architecture, all the older homes here in New Orleans.
I would love to have the Topaz plug ins to use especially with the New Orleans shots, I have seen some of my photogroup friends’ photos of French Quarter houses editted using Topaz, the effect is perfect.
Turbeaux,Libby, Mackie and Frannie Rose would be happy campers if their mom is picked to receive the Topaz plugins…shameless groveling, LOL
I LOVE photo journaling people’s lives – mostly candid so people aren’t ‘putting on a smile’ but are acting naturally. BUT, actually LOVE IT ALL! Love these plugins BTW!
My favorite subject is my children. My youngest has these big blue eyes that I love to capture. Thanks for a great site!
I love to take photos of my 3 dogs……..two golden retrievers and a basset hound mix…….they are really good subjects for me since the training of them to sit and stay.
Nancy
Love the Chicago pic. Also like the SONY NEX ad above. If I won the Topaz Bundle and got myself a NEX-5, my pics would look MUCH better!
I will really shoot anything that catches my eye. I like landscape, nature and architecture the most I think. I like sunsets, boats and for some reason, I have this thing for seagulls.(?) (Does Topaz have a plug-in to help me with that?) Fun site! Scott Kelby has nothing on you two. ;-)
I’ve always loved taking photos of my family and friends. Capturing our moments together is something that preserves our memories and gives us something to look back on. However, I always take my camera with me wherever I go, and you really just never know what I will be taking pictures of!
My absolute favorite thing to photograph is little babies… you never know what funny/cute face they will make next, so there’s always a surprise in store when you review the snapshots.
I love scenery! Nothing more beautiful then a sun rise or a sun set, majestic mountains, fresh snow on pine trees, birds taking flight off of a still lake, the awesomeness that comes from architects and the beauty of the world changing colors in the spring and fall.
My favorite subjects are people, namely my 4 year old daughter Evelyn. I also LOVE doing macro shots of nature!!! So many fun pics! What a great prize! And I just want to say that I love your blog and all the great tips and stories you post! Very informative and entertaining!
My favorite photo subject is my daughter and grandchildren.
Hey Amanda, I love your blog and especially all your photography info! This give away would help me so much as I am starting my own photography business to help pay the bills while I go back to school for website design! Again thanks for all the tips and info…love it!!
This is awesome! I love all the things I’m finding to enhance my photos. I have to say my favorite subject to photograph is my 18-month old daughter who is the joy of my life. We’re working hard to prepare her for big sisterhood–the number of my favorite subjects will soon be doubling.
I love to photograph any human species ; )
My favorite subject to photograph are my children!! I LOVE looking back at their pictures and reliving so many wonderful moments!
I am a portrait photographer and prefer people!
My favorite photography subjects are my two little girls. They are often the focus of most of my photos. Thanks for the chance to win your awesome giveaway!!!
I love taking pictures of people. My goal is to get the absolute best picture without them knowing I’m taking the picture. Some of my favorite kids, it’s so challenging to get their pictures. Patience is something I’m learning! LOL This is a great giveaway! Thanks for hosting it!
My kids!!
I LOVE portraiture!!! Babies toddlers and high school seniors. Second I love to photograph Live Dance performances!!!
I LOVE seeing pictures of friends, when you can just feel the love and the history of the friendship. When friendships are strong, you can see it in their faces.
people. it helps that I have two little girls to chase after and lots of photo opportunities thanks to them both!
I have been a photographer for over 50 years and have very few days I have not taken pictures of some kind. I enjoy taking pictures of just about anything. Many are textures that catch my eye, or just how the light plays across a scene. I have fallen in love with Topaz Adjust and have rescued pictures that I would have normally thrown away or just didn’t bother to print. Portraits,Landscapes,Architecture, Strange textures or whatever.
I have 2 French Bulldogs..I love taking close up of flowers in my garden,,but it seems I always end up taking shots of those darn funny dogs.
I love taking pictures of my nieces and nephews. and my dogs… Lovin the cuteness….
i love taking photos of food n scenery ..
esp during holiday trips..
it will leave much memories :)
I love landscapes. Especially travel landscapes. I use Topaz Adjust 4 and don’t think I could live without it. But having the whole bundle would make me REALLY happy!!!
I am enjoying learning how to photograph food. Thanks for the offer!
I love to photograph the special everyday moments of my family and friends.
My favorite subjects are people and landscapes. I am always trying to capture the awesome sunrises and sunsets in my area. These plugins look amazing…
Hi Amanda! Landscapes, people & pets are my favorite subjects. The Topaz plugins are amazing. I would love to be able to make my pics look as great as yours!

I would probably say that my 2 and 4 year old sisters are my favorite subjects.
On my gosh you are awesome to share this with us all!! I LOVE taking pictures of my family (and our basset hound) as I strive to capture all of the wonderful memories on paper. I SO hope that I win this product!!! But even if I don’t thanks so much for sharing!!
My baby boy! Oh and thanks for the camera tutorial, I loved it!
I love taking pictures of my kids and dog! Can’t seem to take enough.
I love to photograph the kids the most!
I like to shoot architecture.
I just have to shoot scenery because I passed on to my family my allergies to the photo lens. Can you believe they all find when I have the camera?
I take pictures of random topics. I am currently creating a photo timeline of the remodeling of our kitchen and dining room. I also love to photograph my children in sports. Then I use http://www.picasa.com to create collages. I am excited to explore this new program.
abstracts are my favorites! but i enjoy photographing a ‘slice of life,’ or as henri cartier-bresson would say, “the decisive moment.” when it’s gone you have definitely missed it!
thanks for the post. good stuff!
One of my favourite subjects is my 10 month old grandson, Liam! But I love shooting landscapes and am starting to get into macro.
Oh wow! I can’t believe the difference between your SOOC photo and the Topaz edited one. I’d love to try this and it would make a *great* birthday present (today 9/8 is my birthday). I enjoy taking photos of my kids and their friends. Once again I’m photo parent for my daughter’s classroom this year. Imagine how awesome my photos would look for the other parents. Thanks for the opportunity Amanda.
I’m a cake decorator, so food would probably be my first choice for favorite photo subject, followed closely by people and my pets – although they are cats and of course do not like to cooperate!
I am going to New York for the first time in my life in a few weeks. I am 52.. I’m so excited and enjoyed your photos… can’t wait to take lots of photo’s when I go. Can’t wait to try the cupcakes… yummm
I would LOVE to win this Topaz bundle!!! I do the yearbook at the school I teach at and take pictures of lots of faces and sports…I would love to be able to “Dr” some photos! Thanks for your blog…I look forward to reading it and gain weight looking at the food photo’s ! 8-)
I love to shoot portraits, especially children. They are so forth coming with who they are. Another one of my favorites is to shoot product photography. Would love to start working as an Assistant to a portrait photographer. I have checked out Topaz just recently and would love to play with their set of plug-ins.
What a fun way to play with your pics! I am a fan of photographing people, especially kids! Always something new!
I love taking pics of newborns and landscapes

My favorite subjects are my children! I love using my photos to create digital photo albums!
My favorite is my kiddos but pre-kids I loved nature. I used to go the cider mills for my photography classes all the time in high school.
My kiddos! I love capturing their sweet smiles :)
I take so many pictures it is unbelievable! With six growing teens it’s sports, football, basketball, a date, just a nice evening, I take my camera EVERYWHERE! And it drives everyone crazy but I don’t want to miss a moment and now that I’m learning Aperture 3, I can do more WITH my photos! And the more tools I have to work with the more professional my pictures become, even the shot taken by my friend for my business pictures came out SO WeLL!!! And with my handsome young men, they are so much fun to take pictures of and with the holidays around the corner, this would be perfect…….Count me in!!!!! XXXXX 6
I love photographing people and my puppy, although her favorite thing is to bark at the camera :)

I have never heard of this before, but it looks like something that would be way more fun to spend my time with rather than my daily chores. ;-)
I love to photograph the sky…especially clouds. :)
I would love to win this! My fave subjects are my boys, but I also love shooting landscapes. Thanks for the chance to win! :-)
I love photographing all my little friends… the perfect little newborns, the smiley toddlers, the red headed boy-girl set of twins, crazy fun 4 yr olds and all the other quirky little ones who are so unique in their own way. I may have a pretty decent camera, but their faces and personalities are what make the photos so great! :)
I love to photograph sunsets, my grandbaby, and all family events.

I like taking photos of my daughter and our two cats. And scenery, although that usually doesn’t come out as good. This package looks great. I hadn’t heard of it before.
Awesome giveaway! I love portraits. That’s the most rewarding if you can capture a moment before it slips away…trees, mountains, sunsets – they’ll always be there, but capturing my son when he’s still little means the most!
flowers are my favorite thing to photograph! thanks for the great contest!
Thanks Amanda! Your Chicago photo is fantastic!
This sounds like a fabulous editing set to own — I’d be thrilled if I won it!

i’m seriously freaking out over this giveaway, this is amazing! i’m a photographer in dire need of some new actions/plugins.
i love doing themed shoots. this summer my friend wanted some fun photos of herself, instead of boring headshots… so i set up a bunch of furniture out in the middle of a sun-drenched field right before sunset. and it was glorious! we had so much fun, and people walking on the trail nearby kept asking if we were shooting for an anthropologie catalogue! ;)
Wow — I’ve never heard of this! Love it! I love pet photography!
In my circle of friends, we like to have “Vogue” nights. We get all dressed up in some funky clothes, hair and makeup and then take pictures. It’s so much fun! It’s my favorite thing to shoot because we have so much creative freedom.

Love this! I take pictures of dogs – lots of dogs. I train Seeing Eye dogs so we always have a puppy or two around the house. Nature is a close second because we live on a lake. Also, being about an hour outside of NYC – cityscapes are a third favorite. These plugins would be awesome to play with in Photoshop.
As a mom, I have to say that portraits of my precious kiddos take the cake at our house! While I love viewing the beautiful landscape photos, nothing can compare to the sweet smiles of my kids! I cannot believe the difference that Topaz has on photos…I will definitely be checking out their products!

I love to photograph different things. My kids are my number one fav at the moment. my schnauzer, beach pics, etc. I’ve been in photography since I was in 7th grade and it is hobby and interest that I share with my Dad and I hope to pass the love on to my kids.
This software looks really cool! Love it :)
are you KIDDING me? over 1100 entries? yikes!
OMG, Amanda… your Chicago pictures pulled on my heartstrings and made me realize how homesick I am for Chicago. I don’t think I’ll ever get over that city, but, alas, my home is now in the DC area with my darling husband.
Anyhoo… I have a couple of favorites for photos: my beautiful nieces, butterflies, and occasional gatherings with dear friends from our high school in Germany because all we do it LAUGH!
Thanks so much for your awesome pictures of “my kind of town… Chicago!” You’re the bestest!!!
xo,
j.
Wow! I love to take photos of architectual details. I just got back from a trip and most of my photos are of carved details of old buildings, windows and doors, the statues in parks, wrought iron fences, old brick walls. You might think that everyone there had gone on vacation too, and left an empty city for me to photograph!
I love to photograph vintage cars, my dog-Sophie, and family.
Wow, what a great giveaway! I like to photography anything in nature- people, plants, sunsets, etc. Thanks!

oh wow!!! I know you do some awesome giveaways, and this IS MY FAVORITE! I would love to win this more than you know!!!!!!!
My favorite thing to photograph is people…well, more specifically, action shots. Sports, dance, gymnastics, things like that. It is by far the biggest challenge for me. Second to action shots would be scenery. There is nothing better than a photo that really moves you. You know what I am talking about…a photo that takes your breath away. I dream to (one day) take a photo that takes someone’s breath away (without choking them!).
Thanks for the chance. I love your blog!!
What a cool giveaway!!!! I am constantly taking pics of my kids and puppy. You know how hard it is to get a good shot of dogs… try kids! UGH!!
I love to photograh my kids, of course. The cat comes in a close second. Great giveaway!
Wow! What an amazing giveaway! I love to take pictures of my children. I have three of them and capturing their random faces and looks means more to me then I could explain. Plus, my family and I are about to make a huge move from Texas (where I have lived all my life) to Colorado and I cannot WAIT to take pictures of that. Considering I have never seen snow or a mountain, I’m geeking out just on the idea!
I love taking pictures of people…especially my adorable girls!
I love to photograph my precious little 2 year old out in nature while he explores. This would be so awesome to win!! Thanks for the opportunity!!
i love to photograph nature and my daughter! i love all the effects this package offer, I hope I win!

My favorite subject is by far my sweet baby girl. The toothy grins, the chubby thighs, the sweet curls. Every picture melts my heart.
Sarah
I love photographing people, capturing their everyday routines!
I love to photograph sports. I like hockey the most but taking pictures of anything that moves makes me happy. There’s just something about capturing the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat that gets my blood pumping. Thanks for the opportunity to win some amazing software!
I love shooting food for my food blog.
themessyapron (at) yahoo (dot) com

I love photographing people!! They make the best pictures!
My favorite subject is my son, a high school senior. He’s always a sure thing for a good shot — it’s my photography skills that leave me underwhelmed!
I love pictures of people and city views/skylines.
My favorite subject matter is old, decaying, forgotten buildings, vehicles, gas stations, etc. They would be prime candidates for the Topaz bundle. Just think what I could do with that.
I prefer engaged couples in natural light… I just let them love on each other and try to capture it. Who knows when they will need that photo to remind them of why they got married in the first place!!!
I love to photograph special events that will make great memories AND my two babies (my cats)! :)
Hi! I try to keep myself open to all genres of photography but I definitely think the one that is the most fun to shoot (as well as the one that I am best at) is abstract. There is nothing quite as fun as finding the smallest detail of something that usually goes unnoticed, taking it out of its context and turning it into something beautiful in and of itself!*
I prefer nature photography, either scenery or floral. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Once a month my girlfriends and I get together and we call it “craft night.” The food, the laughs and the CRAFTS are all worth photographing! I would LOVE this!
Shooting scenery is nice, but I really like capturing people! People have the best expressions on their faces, and you can capture so many different emotions! I particularly like photographing children. :)
ok this stuff is seriously cool. i just looked at all the stuff it does and i am amazed! and it looks so easy to use! i think anything i took a picture of using these programs would easily be my favorite subject!

Amanda, your SOOC shot was amazing, with or without refinement! But the colors sure do pop after the plu-in. Such a gorgeous picture!

Which must be why I’m always so in love (& awe) with your shots of Miley & Howie! :) Thanks for the chance to win!

I love taking pics of my kids and dogs!
I love taking pics of my kids and dogs! I love to create photobooks for them.
I like taking pictures of kids and animals. I’ve got a new camera and would love to use these plugins on my pictures.
I have to say that the candid moments of life are most precious to me. So therefore it really could be anything. People, children, babies, even food that looks so mouth watering just sitting there before your very eyes.. If thats the case I like to snap a picture of it and try and re create it at home. Good example would be of the caramel apples they make at the fair stands when they come out fresh and the smell is lingering in the air its so mouthwatering but would look nice in a picture too! So for me its a little bit of this and a little bit of that. If I had to choose an absolute down to the “T” it would have to be children only because they are endlessly smiling and always happy and up to no good. At least mine are :)
Amanda, Your article on Photography was great. I bought the book you recommended. It has been a great resource. Thanks so much for all your tips. I am addicted to my photographs. My latest adventure was printed on metal paper and turned out wonderful. Thanks again.
Candid people shots!! And of course my dogs!!
Sign me up! I definitely prefer couples + portraits!
I love taking pictures of children :) especially my own little ones. lol

My kids are my most favorite subject!!! Thanks for the chance!
I LOVE eyes! I shoot people so I can see into their eyes! What better way to see the world than through the eyes of a child.
Frankly, I don’t have a favorite subject, but I must admit to being drawn to colorful and grungy subjects, though not in any particular order. I believe it is best to shoot and to shoot often – anything, anywhere, any time, with any camera available – like my small Nikon point and shoot – as I find that approach helps me from freezing creatively.
I love to photograph babies and children. The time flies so quickly and photographs freeze those precious moments.
I want to take pictures like you! The pictures you post on your website are FANTASTIC! I love to take pictures of my kids and I would love to play with Topaz.
My kids are my favorite subject especially when I can capture their expressions when they aren’t looking. It is natural and innocent…it makes a wonderful memory with just the click of the shutter.
I love photographing my children, but I also so flowers and nature. My husband and I love to go fly fishing, which is extremely fun to photography, especially when it is snowing.
Love the Chicago photo and technique that was used on it! The technique turned the already beautiful photo into a gorgeous, chic photograph. It just pops with vibrancy! I would love to win this software! My favorite photo subjects would definitely be my family and scenery. I enjoy taking photos of things that will spark a memory for years to come.
Thank you for this amazing opportunity!
Beth

I prefer to photograph nature. I like pictures of trees, flowers, and even bugs. I would love to photograph my super cute but neurotic English Pointer, but she is camera shy and runs as soon as the camera comes out of its bag.
I just got started with Photography and so far I prefer to take Portraits or food pictures. Outside photography for sure :) So much to learn still…
I love taking pictures of children. They are the best!

I love photographing people. Young kids are my favorite because the looks and emotions you get are so real.
I’d have to say my favorite subject is my five kids (individually – they generally don’t cooperate if I try to take a photo of all of them together), but I also love the mountains where we live, so that would be a close second.
My baby boy and Boston Terrier!
Definitely my kiddos!
Historically, Italy has been my favorite subject…but with my little girl due in three weeks, I think my favorite photography subject is just about to change!!

Cool looking software. My favorite to photograph is my family & friends. And now I’d say even more so after the sudden death of my BIL just a few weeks ago.

I like photography people, especially my 2 year old toddler!
Nature is my passion, followed closely by my pets and people.

I love scenery/landscapes the most, but I love shooting the kids I work with at preschool, too.
My favorite subjects by far are my puppies!
my kids and than the sky.
I just returned from a spending a few days in Grand Teton National Park. I managed to capture some very nice early morning and late evening images of the Tetons. I shoot landscape, wildlife, old cars, family and teen portraits. The final process, after CS5 tweaks, is to run through Topaz Adjust to enhance the colors and/or achieve another affect with the many tools in Adjust. I am venturing into the low light imagery and have considered purchasing Topaz DeNoise so I can clean up the noise. I have no favorite..I shoot it all…capture the moment. Would be nice to have the complete Topaz Labs Plugin Bundle. Thanks for the opportunity
I love shooting sports, surfing being my favorite sport of all. It’s amazing seeing what great images can be created with Topaz and I love your Chicago shot.
I WOULD LOVE TO WIN THIS!!! Amazing!! I am a photographer and what a great plug in this would be to photoshop. I am very keen to portraits. I love being able to interact with my customers, specially children. So cute :)
Thanks for this wonderful give away Amanda!
Oooohhh! That’s a tough one. I would have to say people, and my second runner up would be FOOD!
Amanda-
I LOVE your site! Especially your dogs! :) Super cute! But anyway, I love taking pictures of my pleasantly plump cat, Allie. She’s gorgeous & is a great subject :)

I love taking photos of my family when we go on vacation. I also love taking pictures of waterfalls in North Carolina.
Hmmm… that’s a hard one. I love taking photos of the ocean and of flowers, or just going w/my daughter and taking photos w/her. Great mother dauther thing to do.
Hands down, my favorite subject is my sweet baby girl that we brought home from Ethiopia almost 2 years ago.
So wonderful of you to have this awesome package as a giveaway. It would be so amazing to win!!!!
I photograph people…families, seniors, children & babies (my fav).
I love ALL types of photography. I love capturing special moments that are meaningful to others, or just to me. I love photography as a way to express myself.
My two daughters are my favorite subjects! Even when they dont want their picture taken!
I love photographing people and scenary.
I love to photograph my family and pets. I think photos are the memories that last a liftime…..
I prefer to take pictures of HAPPINESS! Kids, families, pets, special places : )
I am just learning about photography, but I love capturing those surprise moments that you only see after you review the pictures.
Hi Amanda!
Oh i am in desperate need of an adult photo editing tool!
I live in Germany and LOVE taking pictures of lost buildings and garffiti.
I often use my new fisheye to get a better effect.
Please have a look at my blog. I would be really really happy to win!
Your photo looks fantatstic!
Lots of love,
heike
I love urban decay
Woo hoo! Awesome giveaway! My favorite subjects are my kiddos (of course), but they’re getting to the roll-their-eyes stage of pre-teenagerdom. So my next favorite is children under 3. When you get a great candid shot of a toddler, it feels like winning the lottery. And babies are just perfect models because they can’t escape yet!
***fingers crossed*** :)
I love event photography, especially chalk art festivals
My favorite subjects are my three kids!
Hey Amanda! That’s an easy question. I love taking pictures of everything, but I could take pictures of our 6 month old all day, every day. I practically do. I’ve never heard of Topaz but it looks great!
I would love to win this! I have been looking for a really good photo editing program and I don’t know what’s best. This looks cool!!
okay – I know I’m supposed to say “my kids”…and I do love photographing them. But lately it’s been easier and more fun to photograph our two dogs. Big fluffy golden retrievers – have a smile for me every second of the day and NEVER flash me a “photo snarl” like the kids do! LOL
thanks for the chance!
I love photographing my family and every-day life.
What a FANTASTIC giveaway. I am a photo student and this would be an AWESOME addition.
The answer for me is an easy one! After raising two sons, my husband and I were blessed with a new grandchild in May! A girl named Ryleigh Jane!! She is the focus of my picture taking the last few months! How I would love to win so I could edit my photos of her!!
Awesome giveaway Amanda!!! I think my favorite subject is scenery. I would love to experiment with these plug-ins!
Definitely Landscape photography,so many varients in light and subject.
Hello! Love this! CHOOSE ME! (although, if you must, wait and choose me for one of your fabulous trips somewhere – I’d love that more) Anyways, I am just now seriously getting into photography – so this would be WONDERFUL! I love shots of scenery (esp on vacation!) and of people I love. THANKS!! :)
My favorite picture subject are my sons.
My 2 year old daughter, she’s always ready to strike a pose :)
I love photographing my baby boy, but would love to get into photographing food! You make all your food pics look so amazing… I want to be able to do that as well (since I am an avid cook and electronically share my cookbooks)!
Hey Amanda! I just posted up some pictures from Chicago today. Shooting pictures of food is quickly becoming a favorite of mine! Thanks for the chance to win this awesome package!
Great use of Topaz plug-ins. I love to make my pictures more like paintings and Topaz is the perfect way to accomplish that. My favorite: landscape!
I love photographing my 2 boys outdoors! At the beach, tidal pools, hiking, with the blue sky, white clouds, colorful flowers and green mountains are my total faves! I would LOVE to win the Topaz – what to do, what to do . . . :)
I love photographing people! The elderly and the little ones are the best! They have the most character and it pours out in pictures! : )
My favorites are weather/clouds/sunsets, and newborn photography. How different is that!
Architecture is my favorite photography subject!
Oh my gosh, that is amazing! I never even heard of this software. My favorite subject is family & friends!
I just like to take photographs that I can manipulate with Topaz. I dont mind what.
I love to photography my husband and my daughter. I also LOVE macro photography but need more practice. I am also much more of a photoshopper than a natural photographer — that’s why I WANT THESE TOPAZ PLUG-INS!
my 3 beautiful children are (of course) my favorite subjects… I just wish they would cooperate more often! :-)
I love do capture scenery, portraits and insect macros.
I believe the Topaz package can enhance my capture of each of these topics
Oh dear, nearly 800 comments already! Lots of people are after this awesome prize, including ME! I’m a horrible photographer but I have two little ones so I HAVE to take pictures of them….maybe this stuff would help! ;)
The wilderness! It constantly surprises me with light, color, and life.
I like just about anything that is propelled with an internal combustion engine. The older the better. *(Lawn Maintenance Equipment Excluded)*
I love love love taking photos of scenery and nature
I love the first snow fall!!!
I love taking pictures of my children, and special events, like reunions, parties, etc.
I love taking photographs after dark, well actually, after light! :)
There are surprises in night photography, your eyes don’t see as good in the dark as film does, or as a digital sensor does. With a correct exposure things that seemed bland and hiding in the dark, all of a sudden can come alive like magic. I especially like shooting scenes with the moon in them.
I love to shoot my kids, but especially my daughter because she’s still at the age to be unhibited and loves to have her photo taken!
Cars! Customs, Hot Rods and just about any car that is different (in a good way). I use Topaz Denoise or Topaz Adjust on almost every post processed photo .
Landscapes on cape Cod and Vermont
My most favorite subjects are my niece and two nephews. It’s easy for their personality to shine, plus they love getting their picture taken. I love your photo editing, I’m gonna have to look into this program. Thanks~
My favorite things to photograph are my 2 Border Collies and flowers in my garden.
I love taking pictures of random stuff things that people don’t always see. But my most favorite would have to be emotions, I love catching that moment that’s no posed but just there.
Thanks for the chance to win,
Jen
Wow, if you saw the photo I was editing about an hour ago, you would know how desperately I need something like this. A whole kit might push me over the edge into a state of bliss! My 14 year old son is my favorite photography is my favorite subject, not only because he’s my son and love I him, but because of the challenge in capturing a teenager with a smile on his face! Thanks for the opportunity!
I most definitely love scenery! But when I can, it’s great to have a person in the picture with the scenery in the background. :)
Wow! What a great giveaway! Of course, my fave subjects are my kiddos….well, and my cute hubby!
There seems to be so many subjects to choose from, but I guess for me it would have to be the expression of people in general. I feel so connected when I capture raw emotion in it’s purest form. A teardrop, a smile, or just a hug is priceless.
I love taking family portraits. Especially with fun little kids in the group, its always a good time.
I like to photograph cities and events – I’m especially drawn to colors and textures. People photos, not so much.
I love landscapes and single objects with blurred colorful/color bgs.
I love photographing Models, and do a lot of retouching. This package would be amazing for that! *crossing fingers*
My preference is scenery. Though, Macro photography is a lot of fun, as well.
I love to photograph nature, rivers, mountains, lakes.
My favorite photography subject is animals. Pets, wildlife, random critters wandering around. I love them all.
This would be awesome to use on my Boston Terriers!
I dig taking photos of a small vinyl action figure (Dr Shroud) in various locales!
Just found your site and will bookmark it and be back again :)
My favourite kinds of photography don’t really go together.. possibly even the opposite ends of the photography spectrum. I absolutely love to take motorsport photogrphs, particularly motorbikes racing. My other passion is macro photography, to be able to capture something that you would probably normally walk past in the garden without a second glance, really opens your eyes to a whole new world.
I like to photograph things and places that appear to have been abandoned by people.
I visit my mom on the 100 acre organic farm that I grew up on.I love being around nature and walking with my camera. You never know what you will find to photograph with all the animals,flowers and beautiful sunsets.
I love to take pictures of my kids. They grow up so fast. Thanks for the chance to win.
I love taking photos of scenery and people, but if I had to choose, I’d say family!!! :-) Thanks for the great give-a-way!!!!
I love to photography people :)
wow- what an amazing giveaway!! i’m seriously like triple crossing my fingers that i win! :) and my favorite to photography- kids. and not just my own either! but i love the innocence and spunk and seeing each personality shine through in photos. thanks! love the blog :)
I prefer shooting nature up close. I love Topaz Adjust and would be the happiest camper in the world to win this awesome package with all the other Topaz accompaniments – thanks Topaz, for a great product and generous giveaway!
Suzanne
People are my fav, especially Sturgis Rally people :-)
Favorite subject to shoot is “rusty and crusty”. But I also enjoy landscapes, sunsets and portraits.
Awesome giveaway! I love taking picture of scenery, kids and of course my dog!
I love to photograph flowers especially wild ones. This looks like a great set of tools.
My most favorite thing to photograph would have to be flowers and old buildings. I do love taking pictures of my kiddo’s, although they would rather be the one’s taking the pictures instead of being in them.
I definitely LOVE portrait photography! I love interacting with people this way and giving them memories they will cherish for a long time
OH I love to photograph anything. I am still learning but I love how you photograph and how you can improve them with tech!
I love to shoot people. That doesn’t sound right.
Favorite is nature and all God’s creatures in it. Most our pix are of dogs and cats on death’s row, helping them find a home before it’s too late. Or gotta love the exotic cats at a local feline sanctuary.
This is so exciting!! I like taking pictures of anything and everything, but my favorites are close ups. I LOVE close ups! I love to see the detail in the photo. Good luck to everyone :)
I love taking pictures of my family & friends… mostly at sunset! thanks!
My favorite photography subject are flowers, bugs, and water droplets. I love Macro Photography!
I prefer doing scenery for a personal preference but really enjoying just everyday life photography of my family! :)
Wow! What a great opportunity for someone out there! I love taking pictures of my kids…with great scenery!! Thanks for the chance!!
wow – amazing before and after shots…my subjects of choice are the kiddos – they grow and change so fast, you gotta try to catch all of their cuteness:)
My favorite subject to capture are people. Trying to capture those moments into memories.
I LOVE PHOTOGRAPHING EVERYTHING I POSSIBLY CAN….LIFE IN GENERAL!
I love working up HDR photos, I just can’t believe the results that I get. Using Topaz Adjust even takes them a step futher!
I love to take pictures of the sun setting on the beach or over a mountain range… i think its the most beautiful thing
Hi, I love the Portrait stuff. With 3 daughters I have lots of opportunities to practice.
But, I also love a beautiful sunrise or sunset.
Thanks a lot.
I love photographing landscapes from family trips! Awesome work guys
I like to take nature, theater/dance performances and of course family. Good luck to all who enters!
This is a great giveaway! I love taking pictures of my little girl the most, by far. Scenery and nature is my second, though!
my daughter and family vacations.
My favorite subjects are our pets. Since we don’t have kids, they’re my most willing subjects too!!
I love urban photography, I am fortunate to live in the beautiful City of Edinburgh which lends itself greatly to some fantastic shots be it of victorian overgrown graveyards to castles to modern architectural buildings.
My favorite subjects are people. I would love to do more scenery, but don’t REALLY feel like I have the eye for the beautiful pic! Always willing to venture, though!
I love to shoot scenic views when I’m in exotic or historical locations. Other than that, my family is my primary shooting subjects. I prefer action shots of my boys being, well, boys! Ultimately, my favorite picture to snap is one that has a story behind it and is scrap-worthy (as I do love to scrapbook- it’s my passion, just before the photography itself!)
Thanks for offering this great giveaway!
I love your website and I love these plug-ins. I love to take pictures of my kids!!!
I love photographing my kids, and everyday life! Thanks for the chance to win
Hugs
Kerri
My children are my favorite subjects! :)
Scenery is my favorite, but I love photographing people as well! :)
Landscapes/Cityscapes are my favorite…when I can stop taking pictures of our two dogs that is.
I love to travel and love to take pictures of everything on my trip! Like you, it’s much like a photo essay of my trip! I love photography and I will capture anything anywhere!!
I love to photograph people and more specifically my family.
Landscape photography is my favorite- pretty much any scenery that is outside and I find interesting I’ll take a photo of it! Although I’d have to say that photographing my young niece and nephews run a close second. :-) Thanks for sharing these cool plugins! This is the first time I’ve heard of them and they look awesome!
I love to photograph my flowers and butterflys. Sometimes I even get lucky enough to photograph them together!! lol I’m also trying to perfect photographing hummingbirds. And, as always, my family is great to photograph too, when they aren’t looking!! :)
Sunrise! I absolutly adore sunrises!
I have three super cute little boys…they are my favorite subjects!
Travel photography is my favorite! I tend to photograph interesting doors and windows no matter what country I am in. I also love to capture the locals in the midst of ordinary, every day routines.
I guess if I had to pick a favorite it would be nature. I take tons of photos when we travel. This is such an awesome giveaway! I can’t wait to give the 30 day trial a go. I love all the before and afters. Thanks Amanda!
My kiddos! I love snapping all of those moments you want to remember for ever!
My favorite subject to photograph is my little grandson!
I love to photograph people (especially my little boy)- but I’m trying to get better at nature shots as well!
My favorite is nature using infrared photography. IR in unique and turns the most boring foliage scenes into incredible dreamlike landscapes. I loved the trial I had with Topaz….it would be soo awesome to win the bundle!
oh this would be so amazing! i love to photograph people, especially my cute nieces and nephews!
Food!
Food allows me to photo it without one single complaint. My kiddos on the other hand always run away from me when the camera is in my hands.
Usually it is my dogs, but lately I have been photographing my soaps for my website. It has been a challenge to get them just right, and I love your tutorials!
I would LOVE to get this, because, frankly, all my photos look silly. I am definitely not a professional, but from the looks of it, this program would be easy to use.
kids, especially mine!
I love animals and scenery. When I lived in NH the fall was the best time fo the year for photos and any spare time I had I was out there in the wilds. Also I would spend hours following chipmunks around to get a good shot. Want to eventually get an SLR and do so much more. Love your website.
My husband and I own a portrait studio. We photograph children of all ages and families and pets in our studio. I LOVE to take creative pictures no matter where we are. For instance driving home from Manhattan, I was shooting out the window the entire time…until I drained the battery. :o) BTW – my husband was driving. I was shooting the buildings, the rooftops, the sky, everything!
What you did to that photo was awesome! That bundle would be a great addition to PS!
Wow! What a great giveaway. I love to photograph everything! It’s a sickness.
Oh, how I would love to win this. I’m just getting back into playing with my camera and this would be a perfect addition. I love taking pictures of everything, my kids (less now that they are older and teenagers), my yard, weather, old haunts…and the list goes on.
Hi Amanda, gosh my chances are slim to none…but what the heck..looks like an awesome program. I take a lot of photos of landscapes and the dogs..kid live too far away but wait until there’s a grandchild, watch out..
Barb
oooo me! me! me! I am just getting into photography and would love to learn more! I mostly like taking pics of scenery and people i love!
Thanks!
I LOVE to take pictures of nature, flowers, waterfalls, fields…. but then again I love to take pictures of family and friends too! Also of food! I love to bake, and after I make something I love to take pictures and post on facebook and my online scrapbook for family in other states to see!! :) ♥Barbie
Can’t tell you how much I love this giveaway! One of my favorites yet. I just love taking pictures. I started in landscape and have added people, weddings, and much more. Thanks too for the latest fun photography tutorial. I sent it on to a friend that just got her first camera and it really helped her out a lot!
My three kids! Hands down!
I love to shoot pics of my yellow lab, Cassy. I also love scenery. We ride our ATVs quite a bit and have found som pretty awesome places.
Wow! Your pictures are amazing. My favorite photography subjects are food and children. I especially love the innocent bright eyes of babies.
Heather Hampton
Amanda you are a wonderful photographer! You Chicago photo was beautiful before….. :-)
Me? I’m a nature lover….I don’t take a walk in our park without my camera….it’s just a nice pocket Nikon….but it takes photos my friends tell me I could sell. Good friends.
Thanks for the opportunity!!!
There is absolutely nothing better than taking action shots of my son and other kids playing sports. What is better than kids having fun.
First of all,,,”Thank you for hosting this give-away”…

I’m a first time grandma, so of course babies and people, and now two more babies coming soon! Can’t wait.
What an awesome giveaway! My favorite subjects are my nephew and my puppy HANK!
My two favorite things are flowers & buildings. There’s so much beauty in a flower that I love. Buildings really give you a feeling for a location, so I love photographing them & getting a sense of what it is a place is all about.
I would love this software. I enjoy taking pictures of my beautiful children. I also like taking pictures of food. Hope I win!!!
Wow!Would love to win this,I’m a new grandma and I love taking pictures of the baby and soon two more are coming! So yes on this!
I am part of a non-profit that provides access to safe drinking water and basic healthcare to people in rural villages and urban slums. I would like to use photography as one of tools to spread awareness of the issues about lack of basic necessities that is effecting millions of people.
Amanda, I follow your blog but have never participated in it until now. You are a very good teacher and an inspiration when it comes to photography and zeal to enjoy life. Keep up the good work.
My favorite subject is my 16 month old little guy…although he’s the most challenging! Ha!
I would LOVE to win! Now that I’ve finally figured out some photo-edited techniques, I feel like I take so many more pictures. There are hardly any “bad” pictures when you have programs like this available.
My favorite subject: my little sister.
i definitely love any kind of picture that involves people. portraits or snapshots or anything! just seeing someone’s face in a photo makes it personal and beautiful.
wow! great photo, thanks for the chance to win!
My favorite subject? I’m just like everybody else-my kids! Time goes by so fast and I LOVE to have pictures of them in various seasons and stages of life displayed in our home.
I definitely would have to say my most favorite subject to shoot is my daughter Whitnee!!! :)
I love taking photos of my children, and food.
My kids of course!
i love to photograph family, and preferably outdoors. i am not super talented, but i bet i could look pretty talented using topaz!
Wow! Loving this! Hoping I can be lucky enough to win! I love photographing children, but have also recently begun photographing unique objects whenever we are out and about. At some point, I’ll make a scrapbook of everyday objects.
My favorite subject is my sweet little 3 year old daughter!
Anything w/her is a treasure!
I would love to have such great tools to capture all her moments – and those of the soon to be here sister. ;)
My favorite photography subject is city scenes. We just got a new camera (Nikon D300s) and we’ve been trekking all over Atlanta taking photos of fountains, boutiques, landmarks and city parks to be the decor of my new house. The Topaz set would REALLY help!
Taking pictures of nature and people, especially my Niece! She is a doll!
People, people, people :)
I love to take pictures with people in them……
I love taking pictures of my kids. I mean, what mom doesn’t?! These look awesome, by the way! I have Lightroom, I just wish I knew how to use it better. Maybe these would help!
I love taking photo’s of my kids and capturing their expressions and emotions through different lights, i love editing photos and would loveeee to win this!!
I love all photography but my favorite to capture would be my 2 beautiful girls.
When I’m out in my yard, anywhere I look there is a photo to be taken. I can’t decide which is my favorite season! Do not hand me a camera at a party or event–I panic at the thought of taking phots of people! Of course, my dogs are always a good subject too.
My two beautiful daughters are my favorite subject to photograph. Thanks for the chance at this contest! (I like this product a lot!)
I stumbled upon your website and I am a big fan. I love your scrapbooking ideas and recipes. I stink at photography that is why I need to win this software. Your picture turned out amazing. My favorite thing to photograph is outdoor scenery, children, animals, and traveling. Ok I love to photograph anything but i stink at the techniques. It is like my fingers are not that fast on the shutter or something. i desperately need to take a photography class. Whenever taking pictures of children, i continuously get the back of their heads. It is a big joke around my house. i am always taking pictures but…….not alot of them come out pretty. :)
This program would be fabulous to use to enhance photographs. Mostly, I enjoy photographing flowers/plants,landscape shots and my sweet little ferret. Slowly, I’m beginning to photograph people. The problem there is friends and family aren’t so patient while I set the camera up. With this program, I can fix my errors.
Thanks for the opportunity to win this.
This is cool!! I love taking pictures of my little girl Presley.
Love taking photos of everyday objects in ordinary places. I have been amazed by the feelings they can evoke.
I have been just learning photoshop and can’t wait to explore the possibilities. My favorite shots are of my daughter, can’t wait to go to the pumpkin patch this fall, the colors are the best and would be amazing with a boost from Topaz. Thanks for sharing!
My two little ones, of course!!!
I love to photograph my kids, dog and cats! I would LOVE to win this. Rita
Thanks for entering me into the contest. I love to take photos of my family…especially my adorable 6 year old son and new Boston Terrier puppy.
I have the best subjects to photograph, my 3 and 1 year olds EXCEPT, they never stay still!!! So, then I settle for my hubby who will stand still :)I would LOVE to win this so, so much!!
Scenery for sure.
I know I am a silly mess but I adore taking pictures of my two little doggies Bentley and Paisley! I am sure it will be different when I am married and have kids. But I am not so they fill that spot for me! Oh and I love taking pics of my designs and just about anything pretty or rustic!
I recently received a DSLR and taking classes on how to use everything. I would love to win this. My favorite things to photograph are babies and outdoors!
I love to photograph my kids. Always. :)
Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I love taking pictures of people I love.. and then some artsy pictures of flowers. I have taken some rather nice pictures of flowers, but they NEVER get printed. All that is up around my house are pictures of my husband, family, friends, etc. This add-on would be SO much fun to play with! Maybe some of those artsy pictures will finally get printed after using these!
I just love your blog! Reading it makes me happy! I love food , photos and scrapbooking so I take pictures of everything I do. The food at events I attend, My beautiful Daughter, The hotels I stay at and the scenery around me.Love every part of picture taking! I would love a chance to make my pix look better!
Love these! My favorite thing to do shoot is family memories. Weather it’s snuggling with our puppies or a vacation with the entire family, my fam is definitely my favorite thing to capture.
I love to take pictures of my two little girls. And my youngest has a birthday party coming up! How much fun would it be to touch up the party photos w/ this fun kit?!
My favorite photo subjects are my pets. Nice to have shots of them when they are no longer with us.
I love taking pix of my kids!
Having just lost my mother I realize the value that pictures hold in our hearts. I love taking pictures of my grandkids and helping them preserve their memories.
I LOVE to photograph my kids! I like to try to dress them up and get them outside by a beautiful background and get camera happy!!
what an awesome giveaway! My preferred scenery is candid shots of people….you get the unexpected photos.
WOW! What a generous giveaway! I absolutely love to shoot newborns…so amazing!
I love to take pictures of my nephew! He’s such a character and always making us laugh!
I love to take pictures of my three boys! They’re not always the most cooperative subjects, but they give me the most variety of results. The would be a dream package to get all their pictures looking amazing!
What an awesome giveaway!!! My favorite photography subjects are my kids and my French Bulldog!

I photograph my son and our weiner dog Lucy. :)
My favorite subject is my family. But I love nature photos too. There is something so calming about flowers, trees, plants, and landscapes…
My favorite photo subjects are my three daughters (when they sit still :o) Most of my pics are just candid shots – which sometimes turn out and sometimes not – – -this editing software would help me out a lot!!!! Thanks!
My favorite photos are the close-ups of child’s face. A really great picture with sparkling, clear eyes & vibrant colors!
Love your blog and your sites!!! :)
Babies and children, especially MY kiddos, are my favorite subjects to photograph! :-)
I’m still learning, but when I’m hiking in the mountains with my husband & he hears something take my breath away, he’ll hand me the camera & say “get it, babe”…he’s slowly teaching me all the fun camera tricks…I would love to win this suite so much! I love how they seem so easy to use & make a HUGE difference in what the picture looks like after. Thanks Amanda & Kevin for hosting this giveaway. :)
I love taking portraits and also taking pictures of flowers. The macro setting is my best friend ;]
That is AWESOME!! :-) I love to photograph anything and everything! :-) Friends, pets, scenery… love it
My favorite thing to photograph right now is my newest grandson.
Anything that captures memories. My family, pets, vacations, special occasions…..daily life!
I love photography!! I have a Nikon D40, and LOVE it. I am really into Digital Scrapbooking!! And my favorite subject is my beautiful little girl!!!
For me it’s people…especially my kiddos!
Great give away too!
Enjoy to whomever is so lucky!
Wow! How awesome is this giveaway! I love to photograph scenery and flowers. But anything else works too! lol Thanks for hosting!
Wow, I loved your Chicago photo. I have been saving some money so I can buy DSLR Nikon camera, and when I finally bought it I felt like I am the happiest girl in the world. I like to capture peoples emotions. Sometimes I make my friends laugh and capture their happy faces, or ask my brother to make a stupid face, or just go outside of my house and capture every face on my way. And when I get back home, I like to study every photo in details. And everytime it proves that there is nothing more beautiful and complex than human’s face.
I love photographing babies! And people!! Love photography in general but I feel I am best when I get to take a snap shot of a person!! :) Good luck everyone!
Not that you’re going to be at all surprised, but my Boston Terriers Ravin and Finn!!! =)
I love to photograph my children when they are in their element. Candids are the best!~ We just went to our local state fair and the smiles and expressions you capture on rides are priceless!! I love to edit and play around with the color. I have to do something to every picture!!! I really enjoyed your DSLR tutorial the other day. The software seems like a ton of fun!
My favorite subjects are my 3 year old twins & architecture!
I love taking pictures of my messy nephews all 5, well 6 by the end of the month :) I am going to school for advertising and I’m learning the ins and outs of photoshop.
I love to take pictures of my family and friends ! I love capturing snap shots of day to day activites !
Love your Blog !
I am drawn to nature and scenery. It is fun to capture a time and place with landscape photos. Your photos are lovely. The set of plug-ins would be great for adding that extra special touch that makes a photo come to life.
My favorite is the “everyday” shot, life as it happens! That may be outside, at the store, with the family or the dogs or the hummingbirds outside our front window. It is fun to take time to notice what makes each day special.
I love taking photos and need help in creating final images that pop, this would be awesome! I hope I win this!
Brides! They are at one of the happiest points in their life and they radiate beauty. From the dress, to the hair, to the shoes, there are endless ways to shoot a bride.
Wow, that plugin made such a gorgeous difference! I love photographing scenery and people.. especially my 8-month old baby boy! :)
I love to take pictures of my sweet puppy, Luna!
FOOD FOOD FOOD!!! Love taking pics of my food although many people think I’m weird…sigh~~
Thanks Amanda for yet another wonderful contest!
Taking pictures of landscapes and nature is my absolute favorite but I also love portraits too, especially of little kids :) This program looks amazing!!

People… for sure. They are always changing :O)

I just love taking pictures….doesn’t matter, just this morning I took pictures of the rain outside my house. I love capturing day to day moments…kids, rain, dog, dirty kitchen…just love experimenting! Love your blog too…
I usually take pictures of people (mostly my daughter) but also like landscapes and scenery. I am starting to take picture of food since I’m making myself a recipe scrapbook with all my favorite recipes. :) Hope I win! It would be fun to play with these.
It’s a tie between people and nature.
My favorite subject to photograph is children. Specifically mine of course but really all children. I love catching the pure happiness and innocence they radiate. Tomorrow is my birthday so it would be a special treat if I were the lucky winner!! :)
Thanks for the chance! I love taking pics of my son! He’s adorable, but I am biased!
I enjoy photographing children and making memory books for them.
While I looooove to take pictures of my daughter, I have recently starting photographing food. It’s so much fun – and it doesn’t move nearly as much as my daughter! :)
I love photographing people! Whether it be candid or posed…time may fade, but I’ll always have my snapshots!
I love doing wedding portraits. I love the joy and happiness that a couple is experiencing. Also, I love doing newborn photo shoots! The perfect models. :)
I love it all… people, pets, scenery, bugs whatever is in the lens.
I love photographing people, especially my grandchildren!
I like people portraits!
It’s a toss up! I really love taking pictures of our 5 dogs, but I also love taking pictures of our nieces acting silly and modeling. And let me tell you, these little girls have been watching a lot of America’s Next Top Model and have the poses down!
Have a great day!
I love to photograph little kids. They are so sweet and innocent. There is nothing like capturing a child with that far away look in their eyes. Priceless!!!!
How exciting…my kids are my favorite thing to photograph right now. I also love to capture sunsets. Can’t get enough if pretty Arizona sunsets!
I love to photograph my kids, my furry kids, and flowers! Looks like an awesome program!
Beautiful photos! I would love to have this program and really improve my photos!
Definately my kids!
My favorite subjects are my four girls.
LOVE LOVE LOVE Photography! Would love to win this!
my favorite subject is people…or craft items. :-)
i like to take pics of my favorite things, gifts, childhood stuff ect. That way I scrapbook the memory and don’t need to hold on to old stuff for the memory factor.
Thanks for your fun blog. I have an adorable (not biased at all here) 9 month old daughter and I’m having so much fun taking pictures of her!!
Wow, what a fabulous giveaway! Thank you for this opportunity! My favorite subjects to photograph are my children. I love capturing their personalities and having these wonderful memories preserved forever.
My favorite photography subject is my daughter. I love catching her various expressions, she is such a drama queen right now.
Like a lot of people, I love to photograph my children, but my FAVORITE subject aside from them is water. The beach, lakes, ponds, rivers, waterfalls, puddles, rain… water intrigues me!
I love taking photos of my little toddler. He’s so funny! I also like to get seasonal photos (blossoms on trees, snow, etc). Thanks for the awesome giveaway! I hope I win!
Right now I’m loving food photography! But pets and children are fun too!!
I love scenery but of course who doesn’t love a photograph of a beautiful baby!
WOW, Amanda, awesome giveaway!
My favorite subject is my little girl, naturally. :)
However, my favorite shooting activity is sports, specifically football. I was the school photographer my senior year in high school (12 years ago… gulp) and I was trained by a professional photographer on an ancient SLR film camera. My first experiences with aperture, shutter speed, ISO, etc. was from the sidelines! Talk about intimidating! But I LOVED it. Now any time we go to sporting events I take the camera and the big lens. Last year we went to a Saints game and I caught Drew Brees letting go of a pass and Jeremy Shockey catching a pass in his fingertips. It’s exhilarating to get a great shot! (As I’m sure you well know!) :)
i love taking pictures of my pets! they usually make the funniest subjects.
Hi Amanda!
I just bought the cannon rebel and I would to get some good pictures of my babies!! Thanks for all of your photo tips!!!
Danielle
I just love taking pictures of my little sisters. They’re at that age where they love sitting in front of the camera. Their friends think they’re so cool when they see our photoshoots. This software would make it only better!
I’m just learning, but I love to photograph my boys most of all.
Oh my goodness oh my goodness oh my goodness!!!! These look SO awesome!!!! I love taking pictures of scenery/nature, but I want to get better at taking pictures of people too. I’m going back to school in January to get my degree in photography!!!!
LOVE your site Amanda! ^.^
I love to photograph my children! It is so fun to capture those cute candid moments!
Amanda that is such a beautiful shot and this is a wonderful giveaway! Thank you for the chance to win. I love to photograph flowers, my kids, temples and cities. Have a great day!
I love photographing PEOPLE! I love the look on their face when they see the end result and think “hey! I look pretty good!”. A good photo can be such a good self esteem boost when you can bring out someone’s best features and really showcase them.
I love capturing pictures of my girls when they are game, but some of my favorites is when they wanted nothing to do with paparazzi mom, the emotion is so high of not wanting the picture, its captures well.
WOW, what an awesome giveawway!! I prefer to shoot potraits. Love seeing people in their element, the differing personalities coming through. I like the nontraditional individual & family pictures!
So fun-
my kids! I love catching them in action with shooting, archery, whatever they are doing.

Love your site, thanks for your efforts! I love to photograph nature subjects and small children; so much beauty to capture in both.
Living in New Mexico it’s hard not to love to take landscapes.

I love stalking my poor kids and taking pictures of them doing whatever they are doing. Playing outside, sleeping, building with legos, on and on. I want to remember them for exactly how they are right now!!!
I love catching people in their candid moments – you get a peek of who they really are and what they’re feeling at that exact moment!
Oh beautiful! I love taking photos of my son & nature!

Thank you for this giveaway! My favorite subject to shoot at the moment is my six month old baby boy…he is so smiley and loves to look right at the camera! (he probably wonders why his momma has a big black thing attached to her face). :)
I love LOVE love photographing my puppy! And much of it is inspired by your pics of Miley and Howie. To capture their emotions and personality in a photograph is simply amazing.
And I’d also love LOVE love to have the Topaz bundle!! Pick me. Pick me!
Wow! This is an awesome giveaway. My favorite subject to shoot= people. But my favorite photography subject to look at= black and white land or city scapes.
Favorites? Portraits, people, and pets. I leave the beautiful scenery to the professionals and buy their postcards. I certainly can’t do any better.
I’m a sucker for landscapes. Whenever I travel anywhere I always have to remind myself to take pictures of people – not just the scenery. I take so many pictures that my husband and I decided that after every trip we’ll choose one photograph that really stands out, print it in 8×10, frame it, and hang it on the wall. We’re still working on it, but it’s been a fun project.
I love to take pics of my daughter and her friends. They love to act silly and pose and they love to edit them to their liking! Beach scenes and fall pics are my absolute favorite. My daughter and I would LOVE the new Topaz Bundle because she is a Senior this year and takes tons of pics!
I should say my kids and I do enjoy pictures of them but I really love taking pictures of sunflowers because I think they are so stunning and coming in amazing colors.
I am starting to really enjoy photography. I don’t have a real fancy camera, but a nice enough one that I can play around a bit. I am loving these Idaho sunsets this summer, and of course, my kiddos. Thanks for the giveaway! I hope I win!
I love photographing scenery and of course my 7 year old. :) Thanks for the contest!
Foods my favorite, obviously!!
I only really got into photography this year, which has led me into scrapbooking, had to do something creative with all those pics! I love taking pics of my family and our friends and then editing them. Removing most of the color is probably my favorite “look”. I also like taking pictures of inanimate objects from different angles.
Thanks for the chance to win this prize. I enjoy your blog and your great pictures.
My favorite photography subject right now is my kids. I’ve got to preserve these memories before they get all grown up!

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! =)
I love photographing my kid’s! Never a dull moment!!!
I love to photograph kids!
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).
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!
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!!
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.
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.

It used to be scenery, but since I had a baby and don’t leave the house now, I have to be more creative!
That is an awesome package!! Nature and animals are my favorite!!
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. :)

I like taking pictures of babies! There are so many fun things you can do.
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.
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.
My favorite subject is my gorgeous 4 year old daughter! Landscapes are my next favorite.

My favorite subject to photograph is my family! I love capturing all the day to day stuff and then scrapbooking those moments.
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!
I love to photograph my babies! But, I love to see all sorts of subjects in others’ photography :)
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 prefer to take photographs of people , although I also enjoy nature. Hope to win this!

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 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!
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 love to take photos of landscapes. with candids being a close second! :)

I love to photograph just about anything!!! Right now I am taking loads of pictures of my two teenage sons playing for their high school soccer team. I love to look for textures in nature and in things built by mankind. A guide at a place I visited this summer kind of made fun of me as I sat on the ground taking pictures of some really neat iron work in a bench . . .”look, she’s taking a picture of that bench!” he announced. I don’t really care what people think of me as I shoot my camera . . . I love the “hunt” and love the results!

Wow, Amanda, another great giveaway! I was just thinking the other day that I need some good photo-editing software. Perfect timing!!

I also shoot family portraits, seniors, business headshots, and other assignments on request…. I love your blog and read every post! So excited to see this giveaway! Thanks for sharing!!!!
What an awesome product! My fav thing to photograph used to be scenery, but since I am a mom now, my fav thing to photog is my family.
Hi Amanda! Thanks for the chance to win this plug in. Looks way cool! I am getting CS5 soon and cannot wait to win this so I can try it out. :):) So,..my favorite subject would be my children. I just love taking portraits of them. Especially when they are outside just being kids having fun.
Have an awesome day! oh- and btw I LOVE all your recent pics from your trips.Its amazing you remembered to take so many detailed shots of the simplest things from your trips.What a way to inspire!!
I like to photograph nature. Usually anything outdoors gives the best lighting to work with. I am intimidated by the idea of photographing people. So many of my friends take incredible portrait and candid photos and I don’t think mine would compare, but maybe some day I’ll rise above that and learn some tricks to get great photos in that area as well.
What an awesome prize!
I love photographing my family. Photos are priceless treasures!!!
Thanks for the chance to win.

I love candid shots…specifically of families. I also love to take pictures of my little girl, but it’s those candid moments that really tell a story.
My daughter, who just headed off to college (sigh!), is the photographer in our family. She will be taking photos for her college newspaper at the Colorado School of Mines, and I would love to present her with this wonderful tool. Thanks so much for ALL of your wonderful giveaways :)

Totaly appreciate this giveaway.
my favorite photography subjects are either flowers (especially with a macro lens!) or engagements (such love!). thanks for the giveaway!!
I love capturing the moments when your subjects are just being themselves. People, animals, my kids. I love it all.
OOOHHH! I totally want this!!! I LOVE photographing families, kids and little babies. I know how much I feel I missed for my family when my boys were little, so I enjoy capturing the pics of little ones and young families.

I LOVE photographing people!!!! This is such an awesome giveaway!!! thanks amanda :)

How cool! I love macro photography and anything with shallow depth of field!
My favorite photos… quirky, unposed, in-the-moment- pictures of kids, especially mine!
I love love love photographing people…catching that natural, unposed look is my favorite! I’m just a beginner, so I would LOVE to win this bundle!!
I love your site. My husband loves photography and I just sent him your site when you posted your tutorial last week. I’ve been following you for years. My family use to tell me I was cyber stalking you. I actually watched Miley and Howie grow up. Thank you for providing such a wonderful site.
People….definitely people!! Thank you for the opportunity!
I love to take pictures of my daughter!
I prefer pets or flowers but I will photograph just about anything.
My kids are definitely my favorite subject. The scenery outdoors is also amazing anytime of year!
Hey Amanda, I loved the pictures you posted from your New York trip with Jenny from Picky Palate. I enjoy scrapbooking so I would have to say taking pictures of my family and friends is my favorite. My boys of which I have three all play sports football and wrestling so I am often taking speed shots of them. Thanks for blogging and all the info you provide. Oh, one more think we all LOVE LOVE LOVE the chocolate cake recipe in my family, it is a hit no matter where I take it so thanks for that.
I love to photograph people! Especially my children. And I love natural lighting vs. flash. I also really like pictures of nature – anything beautiful and fun textures.
I love to photograph bugs and flowers super-up-close… I’m saving up to buy a macro lens right now, but the lack of one right now hasn’t stopped me from taking some pretty up-close-and-personal shots. Can’t wait to do more!
I would LOVE to win this. My favorite subjects are my two little ones. They are in constant motion, so I need editing! Thanks for offering this.
These plugins would be so Awesome!! I love Floral and Nature, But my Husband and I also shoot Weddings!!! :) Thank so much Amanda!!
Wow , Amanda what a cool giveaway ! I hope I win. I’ve been meaning to tell you thank you for last weeks post on simplifying DSLR camera settings. I’ve been working with a Sony Cyber Shot for a long time and I Had a blast with it . But , I as a gift I received my first DSLR . I was having a heck of time trying to understand the settings by reading the instruction manual . I prayed for a solution to my problem and When I opened my Email the next day . Bam , there was my answer . Your tutorial was literally the answer to a prayer . Thank you for posting that. It helped my learning curve big time !
I just starting taking photos as part of the graphic design program I am taking at a local university. Night shots are by far the coolest!
Love to photograph my soft coated wheaten terriers. I also love it when my twin sister is in town…we have the best time taking photos together!
I like to photograph children…they are just so candid, and I have yet to meet one that is not photogenic in his/her own way!
This is awesome. Anything that speeds up the processing of photos for me will make my husband happy! Thanks Amanda
Oooh! I love your giveaways! (Less calories than your food posts, which I also love.)
What’s your favorite photography subject? My kids, and my garden – plant closeups, especially fall colours and flowers
I love to photograph my grandkids. It’s so much fun to see what they’ll do next (they’re such hams in front of a camera). However, I definitely need help with the final product and the Topaz collection looks like an awesome product bundle. Thanks for the chance to win one.
My favorite is taking pictures of my family being active: hiking, swimming, soccer, etc
My fave subject to photograph is people. I love capturing my kids in random acts of kindness or let’s be real, random acts of naughtiness too! :)
Your blog has become this resource filled & fun outlet. It’s exciting to get your new entries, there’s always something new & exciting!
I love to photograph friends & family, looking back at a picture always reminds of exactly the same feelings I had when I took it.
:)
I like to shoot streetscapes and architectural details. I do however, have lots of pictures of my labrador though. : )
I would LOVE this for my amateur (don’t tell him I said that;) photographer husband! He drools over your pictures and lenses every time I’m on here. He loves to shoot close-ups of any and everything! He’s always got his camera with him for unexpected shots and capturing life events of our family. He has a great picture of a praying mantis that looks 20 feet tall on Flickr. We love your blog! Thanks for sharing!
I love scenery and children…one is fairly static and one never is!
I prefer photography with friends and family. I would love this program. I just bought a digital camera and trying to learn so much before my sweet baby boy enters the world in February!
I should say my daughter is my favorite thing to shoot, and since I take about a gazillion pictures of her every day that’s partly true. But I also have this love of taking pictures of nature…plants, animals, trees, etc. It’s nice b/c I can practice all sorts of different settings and things on my camera when I shoot flowers and plants b/c they don’t move around like my active little 3 1/2 year old. What a great giveaway. Thanks for sharing! :)
Oh how fun! I am fairly new dabbling in photography but love pets, nature, and people. I have been working for a while with graphic design and photo editing so this looks AMAZING! Thanks!

I love taking pictures of my grandbabies…….
Although I love to photograph nature, I never realized just how important pictures of family are until I’ve reached middle age. You’re able to look back at those you’ve lost, babies who are now successful adults, unforgettable “firsts”, and memorable celebrations.
Family. Definitely.
People are by far more interesting to shoot! My 11 month old is so photogenic. I love it! And my husband is thrilled to not be the main subject of all my pix! I would love to win this. Thanks!!!
People are my favorite photography subject – especially my niece and nephew… my dog is a close second!
I am always trying to crop & filter my pictures! I have always wanted something better than the tools on Picasa! I love taking pictures of my little girl & my Shi-tzu! People out in beautiful scenry is my favorite thing to take shots of! I would also use it for my business products. Thanks Amanda for giving us the opportunity to win such a great product! God Bless!
I think my favorite subject if nature, but I also love taking pictures of my son….he is so cute and one of the most important person in my life.
Now, can I win this one pleeeeeease???!!! haha :)
WOW Amanda, the software looks amazing!
Besides my family of course, I like to take scenic pictures.
Have a great day!
Amanda, We had a mini-family reunion this past weekend . It was so much fun trying to capture photos of the youngest grandchildren (1-4 yr old & 3-2 yr olds) and how they interacted with each other. These are my favorite subjects. Thanks so much for the give-a-way.
My favorite subject is definitely my dogs and foods that I’ve made and kids .Thanks for the chance to win!
People, definitely! I love the “unscripted” shots where you catch someone doing something great, but they’re not posing. Especially wonderful if I get one of my kids. Hard to come by, but so spectacular when you do! :)
Families!! I love to see the dynamics and how they relate to each other!!
Wow! What a fantastic set! Thank y’all for the chance!!
I tend to photograph….everything!! The little moments, the big moments, the sleep moments, the crying moments, the temper tantrums, the dogs playing, the cows in our pasture, the birds on the cows in our pasture, the redbirds in the gray trees, the hummingbirds on the feeders….whatever catches my eye that I want to capture or remember!
I love Photography in general however I dont have any kids so most of my pictures are my husband and I along with a Maltese. =) I just got a new Mac and am in love with it and all of its photography options, this would add alot more options to the editing side! So happy for whoever wins this great package!
My favorite subjects are my little men…with their enthusiasm and fervor for life, they never disappoint to give me a great picture. Would love these goodies–thanks for the giveaway!
My favorite photography subjects are my two dogs, Stella and KC, a shihtzu/poodle mix and a cockapoo. In a close second would be people, although my dogs think they ARE people, so…
Would LOVE to win!
I love taking pictures period. Family, pets/animals and food are my favorites.
I love pohtographing scenery and my children, but mostly right now I am focusing on life with my 365 photo a day project. I take so many photographs, I really need to learn how to edit them. Thanks for the giveaway!!
What an awesome program! I love taking shots of old buildings & architecture, but since I don’t get around to the cities very much, I take lots of pictures of my kid which is just as good :)
Amazing photo! My favorite type of photography is any involving my daughters. I have also been known to enjoy macro photography when I’m not filling my card with shots of my girls.
I love to take photos of my cute kids. The older they get, the more aware they are of the camera and the tougher it is to get a really great picture.
Hey Amanda,
I absolutely love love love black and white portraits, they make me smile.
Recently I started my page on facebook Baby and Childrens Art, here I reunite my two passions art and fashion design. I’m 37 years old and trying to have my own business from home since I don’t have the money to rent a place and have my store. I’m a fashion designer and I would use it for editing the clothing photos to capture more attention. Now I’m using an online free program to do it. Thanks for the opporunity and wish you all the success!!!
My Family and the vacations we take is what I photograph the most. This would be so awesome to win!!
I love photographing people the most. I love capturing memories that people and families will have for years. :)
My grandkids! :o) Thanks for the opportunity to win this great giveaway.
Love taking pictures of my two dogs, Bodie and Bentley. :)
Wow! This would be really great! I love to photograph my children…but I also love scenery! Thanks for this opportunity! Great giveaway!

Our dawg…a beautiful blue eyed huskie girl.
Family candids are my favorite pics.
Wow!! My cave subject would have to be my kids!!
I really enjoyed your photography of Chicago – especially because I live there!
I love photographing scenery and people in unique ways – trying to get a new perspective on something familiar.
My fave photography subject is my kids. A close second is scenery, especially on vacation. I like to try and capture the big picture!
I love taking pictures of my kids and lately my daughter who got engaged last month!
Probably my son Liam who is 4 and I can’t wait to photograph my baby coming soon!
Cool giveaway! I really love taking photos of my girls. Lucky for me, they don’t mind it at all! :)
I love portraits and landscapes!
My favorite has to be my 3 children. They are so full of life. The other thing I like to photograph is my art. I think that this program would be wonderful for both. Thanks for the opportunity to win. :-)
Nothing better than the silly expressions from my kids. But I love architecture and nature too.
I love to capture images of my nieces and nephews – especially random shots – they always come out so great – either really sweet or completely unexpected and sometimes some of the most hysterical things you’ve ever seen.
thanks for the opportunity to get this software. I would love it!
Wow, what a cool giveaway…like I said when you first published your Chicago picts…I love ’em. My favorite subject to photo is buildings and/or scenery. Yeah, people shots are great and picts of my puppies (Chihuahuas…so precious) but for reason I just love scenery and buildings.
I have never won anything in my life but this is one thing that I’d love to have a chance at. I LOVE photo editing – everything from old 1918 family photos to those of my 11 little grandchildren, landscape and still art and everything in between. Thank you for your site. It’s always a bright moment in my day.
My three year old. I was going to say babies at first. But then the truth came out. My 3yo is cuter than any baby I’ve ever met. :)
I never win anything, but this would be amazing! thanks for the opportunity!
I love taking portraits in black and white mostly……just so I can focus on the person(s) face. Love to read your blog!
Without a doubt my standard Poodle Evan ! I’m a retired “older” lady and I’m just now trying to improve my photography. I found your blog last week … how wonderful it is !
I shoot everything…just what my mood is. My favorite are children. The innocents that I capture through my lens. This looks like an awesome addition to anyones photography editing collection. Thanks so much for the chance to win :)!
My favorite thing to photograph is children and babies. You definately have to work for that perfect shot, but once you get it…priceless =D
What a great giveaway!! I love to shoot deployment homecomings. I just shot one yesterday, in fact. They always make me cry! :)
Your blog and pictures have really inspired me!!! I don’t have a mega-camera yet, just a Canon digital Elph, but I’ve been taking pictures of food, and I’m really getting into it! I’m dreaming of a new camera so I can take some great pictures of my two cats and my nephew! Thanks for all the great tips you give!!!
Oh my! How neat! My fav subject would have to be newborns and 6 month olds. Newborns because they don’t move, and it poses a challenge to me to get them molded just right without waking them. 6 monthers because they are so happy, sitting up, loving life! Love that toothless grin!
I’d probably have to say kids and families!!
~ Great giveaway ~ FAMILY! What else? :)
I love photographing my family, especially my childrn. They grow so much and your memory is only really limited- so I love capturing the little moments that you tend to forget!
I love to take pictures! of just about anything. Some of my favorites are Sports (because they can be a challenge for me) landscape, travel, and most of all my family! Thanks for the chance to win. I love your web site.
I love to photography people and places and am just beginning to learn my new camera…this would be the best win ever!
Amazing difference in the photo! Portraits of my kids are my favorite to capture.
I feel in love with your Chicago photograph when you first posted it. Fabulous!
My favorite has been sunsets…but I’m beginning to lean more towards portraits recently.
My favorite subjects are my son and my dogs (also two Boston Terriers)! None will stitstill for pictures, so I’ve had to learn how to use my camera to get better pictures that aren’t all blurry.
I love photography of my family and friends!
I LOVE to take pictures of people, especially my little girl! They have the BEST moments! Thanks for the opportunity!
Wow, what a great tool! I love all aspects of photography… and I do it mostly to preserve memories, so I include photos of anything and everything in my routines.

Hi Amanda,
I love your blog and even though this comment is about photography, I have to tell you I made the chicken enchiladas and WOW! So good. Anyway, my favorite photography subject is people. I love the variety of expressions and emotions. I need to get better with this so I am keeping my fingers crossed that I win!!!! :)
I love taking pictures of my beautiful 16 month of girl <3
I love nature pictures (flowers, trees, etc) and of course taking pictures of my 16-month old son.
I love to take pictures of people. Thanks so much for the opportunity to enter.
I don’t take many pictures but my husband does and he likes to take pictures of birds, places, and bridges! :)
I love to shoot in aperture mode and photograph beautiful flowers. I desperately need help shooting action shots of my Boston Terrier, Bella. I keep practicing, but haven’t come up with any great one yet. I would love this package, what a great giveaway! Thanks Amanada!
I love city skylines. I have several pictures of the Chicago skyline in my house. It’s beautiful!
You have the best contests! And may I mention, the best fonts and unfortunately the best pictures of delicious foods that makes me hungry each time I look at them. I found my way to the Picky Palate through you, more wonderful and decadent foods to try and avoid (crying here). Thanks so much for everything you do.
Hugs, Ellie
My favorite is taking photos of my kids. This would be a super-awesome set for me to use! Thank you for the opportunity to win, Amanda! I also really loved the DSLR tutorial. You are so great!
My son is my most favorite subject, but I like capturing all people in candid shots.
My favorite things to photograph are nature and architecture. I also like photographing part of an object, making it an abstract shot and the object unidentifiable.
Thanks for the opportunity! My favorite subject is my 13 year old son participating in all of his activities.
i love taking pictures of cities (the skylines, the people, the shops, etc). i live in NYC so i am very spoiled here. thank you for the great give away!
My darling baby boy, of course! :)
Ahh! I would LOVE to win this! I just bought a Canon T2i and am learning how to use it. Your tutorial for Labor Day was great! I enjoy taking pictures of people the most.
I use to enjoy taking scenery photos, but now my 10 months old daughter seems to take up ALL of my photos these days! I LOVE editing my photos and this would be a great thing to win!!!
I love to take pictures of people in a group especially all of my favourite girls! It definitely will be the best part of the day when we’re all smiling and taking pictures! xo!
Wow!! It’s really that easy?! By far, my favorite subjects are my boys <3
I love taking pictures of my horses, such amazing animals! Looks like great software, can’t wait to try it out!

Hey Amanda!
I just bought a new Canon Rebel T1i and would love to win this bundle! I have a baby girl, who just started smiling, so I love snapping her! I also love pics of the great outdoors and our big, blue great dane! Thanks! :-p
Those plugins are awesome! They would be perfect for the pictures I’ve taken of my daughter!! Crossing my fingers!
Never heard of this plug-in-sounds pretty neat & useful for my portrait photography :) Thanks for the giveaway!
My favorite subject hands down are people. I love “unposed” pictures. That is when you get the best facial expressions, and the story really gets told. I have some really great shots of people that just make me smile, because they are enjoying the moment, and not “focused” on the camera clicks. (pardon the pun)
It used to be toddlers but recently I’m in love with a few high school seniors! They don’t run away from you :)
I like to photograph scenery best I think. Although I do take a lot of pics of my kids! Thanks for the chance to win!
Amanda –
I live in Chicago and don’t have great pictures like you have!!
My favorite pictures are of my son’s baseball team. I take hundreds of pics at every game, edit them individually and send them out to all the families on the team. No one brings their camera to the games anymore! I love sharing and making memories for all the families!
Topaz would be an awesome addition to my photo editing!!!
Thanks for the great website!!
What a fun giveaway! My favorite subjects to photograph are children, especially my 3 boys! ;)
I don’t get to do it as much anymore with kids but I’m a sports photo lover. Now I mostly take pics of my kids.
I LOVE to take photoz of my nephews at rodeos!! :-)
My Kids!!! That’s been my focus for the last 14 years!
my favorite subject is my sweet 2 yo Madeline. I would love to win this!!!
I love taking photos of my four year old little girl!! She has gotten to the age where as soon as i take out the camera she does a cute little pose instead of running away from me!! I also like to take photos of flowers, and macro photos, though I havent mastered it yet, i love macro photogrphy!!
Are u kiddin!? This is the best thing since sliced bread! I really wAnt to try it out! I love photographing kids… It is the hardest but most rewarding. You know the final prints will be frAmed and hung on walls to be loved and remembered forever.
Sunsets and Sunrise photos are my favorite images to capture.
I love to photograph my kids. I have been doing Project 365 though this year and it has stretched me to take more photos of different things!
My favorite things to photograph – my boys :) Thanks for the chance to win these!
I think my most favorite thing to shoot is brides…They want their picture taken and look so happy and beautiful…
I love photography that shows the people I love and the things they like to do such as my husband playing golf or my girls doing what ever it is they love to do at the time! I also love taking pictures of our pets just because!
I LOVE photographing children and newborns, especially ones that I know! Day to day adventures of my husband and I are also fun :)
Oh this is great. This would really help my product pictures.
My favorite subject would have to be my beautiful daughter! I really need some editing software! ;-) Thanks!
how awesome! :)
my favorite thing to photograph is kids .. capturing the expressions on their faces is amazing! food is also another favorite. i’m already thinking of all the fun things i could do with Topaz! :)
Wow, that Chicago picture is awesome!!! I live in Chicago and can’t stop looking at that picture you took. I like shooting landscapes, people and flowers. Most of all my two girls!!!
My favorite subjects are children (including my own) and scenery. My kiddos/husband purchased Photoshop Elements 8 for me for Mother’s Day and I really need a tutorial on how to use it!! :D
My favorite subject is newborn babies. I could sit and photograph them all day long!
You are awesome Amanda! I love photographing people! Especially my kids!
Oh, my goodness. What a wonderful prize! I have one Topaz plugin, but crave the bundle. I take pictures primarily of family and friend events, but love to take photos of various and sundry subjects out of curiosity on how it might look.
Thanks for the chance.
I LOVE your Chicago picture! I hope I can try and make some of my NY pictures as vibrant and colorful as yours! Thanks :)
I love to photograph landscapes and people – and even if I don’t win this giveaway (and I really, really want to!) I am going to be purchasing the Topaz Clean – that is amazing stuff! All of them are wonderful, but that is the one I would love to play with to see what I could do with it.
Thanks Amanda – for all that you do for us!
My favorite subjects are my sons, Eleck and Bryce! Especially when they are riding their horses! Just makes my heart melt to see these little cowboys with their Daddy!
I do a lot of nature photography, but my real passion is capturing the unusual angle of modern architecture or the unexpected beauty of ruined buildings and forgotten structures. There’s just something about those images that moves me.
Tee
I love taking pictures of my little boy and can’t wait to start taking pictures of my little girl when she gets here!
I love to photograph people but my dogs provide me with the most opportunities. Thank you for providing a great giveaway.
My daughter :-) best subject ever. But really people in general are my favorite and far more interesting to me as subjects than animals or landscape or anything . . . not that I dont love those pictures too, I just prefer to TAKE pictures of people :-)
I love to take pictures of anything, especially fun places that the hubby and I go!!
I guess if I spelled Topaz right I might have a better chance of winning. Right! Sorry for the typo. We call that a senior moment or just plain not with it today. I still love nature and flowers.
How exciting, What a prize! :)
I love taking photo’s of my Family and
flowers when i’m out & about.
My favorite subject is my adorable 2 1/2 year old daughter, Lilly! I can’t seem to capture enough pics of her while she is so cute and fun.
Nature is my favorite thing to photograph, next to my kids of course. I love the rich colors of fall, the new beginnings of springs. I love it all.
People definitely!
My favorite subject has got to be my english bulldog and my niece and nephew. There is something about smooshy faces and sweet grins that just need to be captured!
I love taking pictures of my family,my son and our friends and their children. Our trips to different places as well. Love the program.
pick me. pick me. love your blog!!
I love macro……but need a macro lens :)
Your photos are gorgeous! I still need to work on my aperature from a couple posts back-thanks for posting that info btw!
I love to photograph my silly playful son and our 2 cats and dog. They always bring a smile to my face no matter what kind of day I am having. My son realized to pose before he was even a year old because I was always snapping photos of him! I would love to try to do some photo editing and these tools look awesome. Thanks for the give away offer!!!
EVERYTHING! I think I have a little bit of an obsession (my husband’s words). It is one of my very favorite things to do. I have always been the one with a camera in my hand and since I have 5 children, I always have plenty of opportunities. I mostly shoot portraits and casual people shots, but am getting more into scenery and shooting just anything that looks cool. Thanks to sites like yours I’m constantly getting new inspiration to broaden my work.
This is super exciting. I hope I’m the winner. My photography style leans towards portrait, specifically individuals with special needs. It’s amazing how you can capture their true personalities through a photo. I think if I won the Topaz Lab Plugins, I would experiment more with nature and architecture. Good luck everybody!!
Hi Amanda & Kevin! I totally enjoy what you do and share with us! My love for pictures started with my children and has moved on to my grandchildren! I love photographing them on the beach, in the trees or on our laps! They are our own personal M & M’s, Madison & Mason!And they have brought so much joy, laughter and color to our world!
I love to take pictures of my children. My 3 year old is a ham so I get good ones of him.
I love photography in so many ways! I would have to say that scenery is one of my favorite. When you add great people to the scenery you love then it’s even better!
:{People}: especially engagement sessions. To be able to capture the love,silliness and passion between two people is beyond amazing!
I love taking photos of my family and our travels! This software would rock!
My favorite subject to shoot is definitely people, especially family. There is something about capturing special moments with family that gets to me! Thanks for the chance to win!
I love to shoot those portraits that make the mommies cry. The ones that show the child’s real personality in a way that tells the viewer just who the child is.
I am just a photographic nut as my friends would say. I always have a camera with me. Always! My favorite subjects are nature and flowers. Events would be next. But I just love taking photos and scrapping them. I love how the Tapax Plugins fixed your photo to pop with vibrant colors. I would love to have them.
I’m just starting out with photography. Just got my first DSLR earlier this year. So far my favorite subjects are my babies of course, but we live out in the boonies so I really love getting pictures of all of the barns, cornfields, silos, old abandoned houses and all! Especially when the sun is just going down. It is so beautiful!
I love close-up portraits for people…I love taking pics of kids, but I think I’ve really enjoyed taking of grandparents…I love focusing on my grandmother’s hands when she she baking!
WOW…what a fantastic gift to give away!!! I have two favorites…I love to photograph city streets and I love to photograph my baby granddaughter. Thank you for this opportunity to win!!!
my favorite subject is my kiddos…it’s also my toughest, but when i get those perfect photos it just makes me so happy. :)
Oh! I love to photograph children and flower!
I have to say my fav photo subjects are pets. They are so adorable and some of the faces they make. They express so much in their eyes and slight head tilts. So humanlike :) But your photos of food are really tempting too. Makes my mouth water. Yummo! :)
Great photo! Chicago is my favorite city. My favorite subjects are my kids. I love capturing photos of them at play. You really see the pure joy they get out of being imaginative, funny little beings.
I just LOVE to take pictures of my kidlets. I’m just starting out with photography, but just LOVE to play with all the tools that I can. :)
Wow! Those look amazing! My favorite photography subject is definitely my three cute kiddos. But, I am also having a lot of fun trying to capture trees, flowers, and other bits of nature.
Wow – what a great giveaway. – thanks, Amanda!
It’s uber-hard to pick a fave, so I’ll have to slightly break the rules and say that I love taking my 70-300mm out to sneak up on some nature — I live in AZ, so spectacular nature scenes are abundant here and I also love my 50mm to capture the light sparkling in my 2 year old little guy’s eyes!
Thanks again, Amanda – I don’t know if I even knew about these plug-ins before seeing them here. Love what you did to your Chicago pic.
Wow – I love what you can do with the Topaz plug-ins! So much easier to edit and adjust our artwork! I would LOVE to win this! Thanks so much for the opportunity!!
I love taking pictures of my dog, Phoebe, but am very much looking forward to shooting Phoebe with my baby girl who is due in January. I love dog/baby photos; could it get any cuter?? :)
Definately hands down my kid’s..I drive them crazy with the camera! All I ever hear is “aahhh Mom are you going to take pictures of this too”?? I do love my kiddo’s!!
I love taking close-up pictures of children when they aren’t posing. They are more natural and happier that way.
I love to capture my family,people, and the places I travel!! To capture these things with a click of a camera is beyond fascinating. I love it because it allows you to remember so many happy, fun,and exciting memories!!! Thank you so much!!!
Hi, I am an artist / crafter who is ALWAYS painting and creating. I love taking photos of some of my work. This would be an awesome win, win if I were to win! Thanks for your wonderful blog. I so enjoy it!
I am SO EXCITED about this giveaway!!! I love photographing kids and and toddlers–they are amazing subjects because they are natural in front of the camera and so full of life!
I love baby pictures. They are so precious and fun to photograph. You never know what expressions you might get.
Thanks for all your posts. I love your blog and enjoy seeing all your great pictures and recipes! Thanks for sharing!
Right now my favorite photos are of my grandchildren. I have a 4 year old grandson, a 5 month old grandson and a 3 month old granddaughter.
What don’t I love to photograph?!?!?! Although, capturing the fleeting moments in the life of a child or the special times with family and friends definitely top my list!
I don’t know that I have a favorite… but if I have to choose, I would choose my pets!
I love taking pictures of my family! What an awesome give away
My favorite subjects are food and flowers :)
Thank you so much for the great giveaway!
I Love to photograph my little angel Madison. She is a hard shot to capture but that makes it even more fun!! :)
Since discovering your blog a few weeks ago, I’ve been SO inspired to shoot again. I have an old Canon Rebel xTi but recently bought myself the nifty 50mm 1.4 and I’m IN LOVE! I’ve been shooting so much and even have been hired out to do a maternity and a few family sessions! I think maternity, babies and toddlers are my favorite. How can you go wrong with babies!? Thanks for the give-away. What a great deal!
My cute baby boy Isaac!
There isn’t a sport that my oldest son doesn’t play so I take a lot of fast action sport photos (althought I do love portrait photography as well!!). Topaz De Noise would be perfect to help with the grain in my hockey and basketball photos (still trying to figure that whole thing out)! Would love to try it! Thanks-
I love taking pictures of nature! It’s one of my husband and I’s favorite places to be! This is a great giveaway!
I love to take pictures of anything that catches my eye, particularily birds, flowers, food.
My kids!
I love it all. Got a dslr last yr and just have been taking pics like crazy. I have monarch catepillars that are changing and I’m taking lots of pics of these right now. I take everywhere I go. I guess I need a smaller digital because of that and sometimes the 16 gb of memory are not enough.
My favorite photography subject is my family. I love creating new backgrounds and props for my photos. My 3 children really get into posing as well as looking natural for pictures.
What don’t I like to take pictures of?? My camera is practically glued to my face :)
I love to photograph landscapes, this would really make my photos POP!
Thanks!
This would be a dream come true to win!!! I am a photographer want to be and have started some classes and things to improve. I dream of photographing newborns and children. I love beach photography as well as we live right near the beach. This would be wonderful for me! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
Children! I love shots of my son and daughter especially but all children I just love their expressions :-)
I love taking pictures of children. My own beautiful three but others as well. Right now I am focusing on eyes and how expressive they are. They really are the window to the soul.
I want to win! I have 2 kids- so I guess they are my main subject! :)
My favorite thing to photograph isn’t necessarily a subject but I try my best to capture the moment. Wether it be the random silliness of my kids, the wow factor of something in nature or just a “blah” day in the house. Looking back thru the albums years after gives it so much meaning!
Hi Amanda … TYFS the information on Topaz tools. I’d never even heard about it prior, and it would definitely be an asset to my world! I shoot with a Nikon D80, which I love. My favorite subjects are nature (particularly flowers), travel, and happy occasions (babies, weddings). I also snap my dogs Morgan and Sadie but those little suckers MOVE so quickly that it looks like TOPAZ would help edit and highlight those photos well. Again, I appreciate all the work of your website. You’re the BEST!
I love taking pictures, my favorite is taking pictures of my Grandbabies…Three of my Grandbabies live in Hawaii, so I had a wonderful time taking pictures there.
My favorite photography subject would be animals, specifically horses. I prefer outdoors pictures, but I’ve also set up little studios indoors to photograph week old chicks. I also enjoy photographing nature. Just anything that I can find a little bit of hidden beauty in.
I LOVE photographing my family, especially my little girl! I want to preserve as many memories as possible, and hopefully one day she will appreciate this. :)
The software package looks completely awesome! Thanks for the chance to win.
thank you for being so generous towards us! that is really nice. i live on a farm and love photographing so many things. i guess nature is what i do the most. horses, deer, flowers, dogs, cats and even bugs…my husband doesn’t like to be photographed so all the farm’s living creatures must put up with that strange black clicking thing directed at them!
I prefer newborns. It’s great, because they can’t move, but you can move them in almost any position you want.
I love this!! And what a great gift for those photography fanatics out there…I know a few!! Thanks so much for sharing this with us!
Oh, and kids, kids, kids…..they probably make up 95% of my photos!
I love taking pics of babies….but I also love my dog! He is so good at looking at the camera and making funny faces:) LOVE it! I love all your pics–so this program would be super fun to win and play with!! Thanks for the chance to win:)
We love to take nature pictures…
I love photographing nature and would love to win! What a great set of tools for photography!
Awesome giveaway. I love to photograph family and friends and great get-togethers! Some of my best photos are random, every day shots.
So Fun!! This is a no brainer……food for me :) Have a great day girl!!
Wow I had no idea you could do add on filters in photoshop! This looks amazing!
I love flower, plants and have started to try more scenery as well!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
I like taking photos of children cause their raw emotion is captured every time along with their innocence. I would love to win this!!!
hmmm, i have to pick a favorite subject? that’s tough cuz there isn’t anything i won’t photograph! stranger dogs and cats, antique store findings, cool architechural buildings, flowers, bugs, my children, my jewerly, my art, my friends, the sunset, the ocean, birds and more!
xoxo,
kecia
I love details – especially at weddings and for newborn babies. But really, I love people and architecture and food, too. :)
I have 2 little guys, so naturally they are my favorite to photograph!
I love capturing people, friends and family, pets too.
Okay….I need ALL the help I can get with my pictures!! This looks awesome!
I love photographing people. I am always on the move with our 2 year old, so I often say I specialize in “action” photography…ha!
Eeeeekkk!! I have been dreaming of owning good photo editing software for SOOOO LONG now!! I love taking pictures of my boys and I REALLY love taking pictures of my cupcakes!!
What an awesome giveaway! My favorite photography subject is scenery – nature, buildings, etc.
I LOVE to photograph food and this would take my photographs to the next step! I am crossing my fingers and toes that i will win!
WOW!!! I hadn’t heard of this—I LOVE it!! I LOVE COLOR!!!
I’m into portraits right now. Children and babies.
I love how the moss on that building just pops after your editing! Beautiful.
I like to photograph people having fun!
I love to photograph my family and my puppies. I would love to win this collection.
My favorite subject to photograph are my kids, followed closely by things we see everyday.
I LOVE these plugins! Thanks for the opportunity to win. I’m keeping my fingers crossed! Thanks Amanda! :)
Amanda – this is great! I could really use this with all of the pictures I take of my two little girls! I’ve also started photographing food recently and this would be great for that too!
My son Alex. God would I love to win this! I soooo need these plug ins!!!!!!!
of course my two cute boys are my favorite! LOVE this giveaway btw, I will totally have to buy this if I dont win!!!
I love taking pictures of my grandchildren and with a sixth on the way, I’ll be taking a lot more.
I love a good nature/landscape photo to display but I primarily take pictures these days of my almost two year old little girl and our boston terrier!
I would have to say my favorite subject is my kids! Thank you for the chance to win!
I love to photograph landscapes! Seems to be what I’m best at. If I could just find more time to get outside and do it! Love your blog :)
WOW what an amazing bundle….I would love to play with all these cool effects. I hope I win.
My favorite photography “subject” is nature. I can take my time to get the shot just right and nothing is ever the same. What a photograph most often is my family. Love them – love the memories!
Hi Amanda! The pics I like to shoot the most are of flowers and trees in the winter. I just love seeing the ice on the branches.
As much as I love people, I prefer to photograph buildings, scenery and the change of the seasons. For me, there’s nothing like looking at life through a lens. I have a couple of autoimmune diseases so wandering about camera pressed to nose enables me to forget about pain and fatigue, and I find myself once again with that magical childlike curiosity for life.
Family and my puppies are my favorite subjects, along with vacation shots.
My favorite photography subject is anything from in one of our many gardens. I love photographing the veggies we harvest and the tasty dishes we make with them. I also enjoy using the macro setting for stunning close-ups of my flowers!
AMAZING!! Your Chicago photo looks amazing. I pretty much love taking pictures of anything and everything. I am currently saving for a nice Nikon camera, so I can get more into my photographs!
Oh, put me in the runnings! I am so sick of editing with my old photoshop! I love pictures of family and water! I can’t help but take pictures with natural water landscapes in them! IE: why I LOVE all your kayaking trips!
This is amazing! How awesome! I would love this because this is exactly what I have been looking for. I do photography as a hobby. I think I like doing portraits the best because I love catching people and who they are in the image, but lately I have been playing with scenery and buildings and it is fun trying a new medium. Trying to capture something in a different way then what you see everytime you pass by it.
BTW – thanks for this site! I love reading your posts!
I try to remember to capture my family’s life-those times that are special occasions and those that are ordinary but become extraordinary in our memories. This looks like a wonderful set of software tools!
My favorite subjects are people, closely followed by flowers, and last but not least, my cats. But I’ve been known to take pictures of red peppers, trees, and clouds. And whatever else wanders into my focus! Salivating to try out this software.
That’s easy: my kiddos!
Great question, hmmm as much as I love to photography my boys, who wouldn’t they are all handsome ;) , I think I love taking pics of the great outdoors.
my favorite subject is my sweet little boy.
What a nice effect!
I love photographing my family. The photos become priceless treasures.
wow! those are amazing! and that shot of Chicago is gorgeous.
my favorite subjects are my boys. i love photographing kids. thanks for the chance to win!
Friends and family are my favorite subjects! My kids and our vacations are a big fave too!
What an awesome prize! I love people….I prefer families. I love to see how everyone interacts. Each group is different, but the one constant is LOVE. It always amazes me how everyone shows their love, because it’s always just a bit different….but it’s always there!
These plug-ins look wonderful! I also loved your tutorial about learning to use a DSRL. I hope someday I will get one and use your tutorial. THANKS for all you offer on your site!
Hugs,
Shirley
My dogs are my favorite subjects to photograph. Not only are they always available for photo shoots, but it’s pretty much impossible to take a bad photo of an adorable little puppy.
Well, considering that I own an Old Time Photography studio, one would assume that my favorite subject to photograph is people… but it’s not. Aside from my beautiful baby, that is :) I LOVE taking photos of landscapes… travel photography is my absolute favorite. I’m such a shutterbug when I travel… and I love it!
Love to take candid shots of people and close ups of plants/flowers. I have only had my Canon Rebel T1i for a month. It is my first SLR. Just got a 60 mm macro lens. So much fun to take pictures with this camera. Anxious to learn all that this camera can do and then enhance those photos with tools like Topaz.
My sweet boy!
What an exciting giveaway! My twin boys are my favorite photography subjects, but I also love nature shots. :)
I really love photographing families. There are so many unique poses to use when you have 4-6 people! It sure is tricky to get them all to look and smile at the same time though!
My Boston Terriers are my favorite subjects to photograph, then butterflies and flowers!
What’s your favorite photography subject? Do you prefer scenery?
Vintage, anything girly, playing dress up! I enjoy photographing baby girls to classy ladies; portraits that capture the fun female spirit, and the personality of that individual.
I love using nature and the environment as my backdrop, using the sun and clouds as my lighting.
I love to hike too, be adventurous! Taking pictures of flowers, waterfalls, trees, and mountains.
“A mixture of High Fashion and the Great Outdoors!” -Michelle
People are my favorite but taking cool city pictures are pretty awesome too!! Love it!! Thanks for hosting the giveaway
My favorite thing to photograph has to be faces…..especially of little children, but since all my little ones have grown up, I am enjoying taking photos of Nature. Living near the Rocky mtns makes it a joy.
Favorite subject is my granddaughter, and after that I’d have to say outdoor nature shots.
Thanks for the chance to win!
I love beach shots and animal and pet photography!
I love to photograph my 3 little monkeys! These look super cool!
My three-month-old, Hudson, is the subject of most of my photos lately, but I do love scenery shots and up close foodie shots too!
My son and his pug Milo are my favorite subjects, but I live so close to the Adirondack Mountains, that I really want to get more photos of the beautiful scenery there. I got a new Canon SLR camera this past Christmas and have not used it to its potential yet. P.S. I love your blog!!
I like to take pics of my kids & my cakes! This program would be so awesome, it would help me take more professional looking pics of my cakes for my cake business! :)
Landscapes are beautiful, pets are adorable, but nothing compares to capturing the expressions of people (especially children)! Priceless!
WOW what an awesome package! I have never heard of it before and think that it is AMAZING! I have followed your blog for a few months now and absolutely LOVE it! I think my all time favorite photography work is people. I don’t do the normal portraiture type photography but like more “unusual” shots. For example, a baby that plops their foot in their birthday cake, a toddler walking away down a nature path, etc. However, I have been getting into some nature photography lately and absolutely LOVE working with different lighting effects at different times of the day.
Thanks for sharing your blog with the world!
Have a great day!
I love to take pictures of my dogs and of kids. They are both so unpredictable and you never know what kind of pictures you will get =)
I always love your giveaways…but this one rocks! I love photography and would love to win this amazing set of editing software!!! My favorite thing to photograph…hmmm…that’s hard. Most likely my 6 year old daughter but I’ll take pictures of anything! Thanks for the chance!!
Children and babies, both portrait style and candids–LOVE the stuff they do and the expressions they make!
My favourite photo subjects are my grandchildren. Also love scenes down at the lake where we spend the summer. They would be awesome with some Topaz tweaks!
Wow! It’s amazing what Topaz can do! Love landscapes and taking pictures of family. Thanks for the opportunity to win Topaz.
My favorite subject is my beautiful four year old daughter!!!
Wow! What a neat giveaway! I enjoy photographing my sweet baby boy, and my 2 silly pups.
I love photographing faces. No two are alike (unless they are identical twins!), and every moment I can capture different expressions.
I like landscape and macro floral photos–thanks for the chance to win such a great prize!
Oh my goodness! What an amazing giveaway. I just started my own photography business about 6 weeks ago and this would be a huge asset to me! I prefer portrait photography. I love making people happy by giving them beautiful images of the people they love. My job is so rewarding!
It is all about my kids right now! But I do love taking pictures of flowers, too. :)
Pets are my favorite to photograph…but I love doing landscapes too! :)
I prefer to do portraits or just people in general :) thanks for the chance at an awesome giveaway!
Love it!
I love taking pics of friends kids.
Love how it made your photo pop!
Right now, my favorite thing to photograph is my daughter’s high school marching band! But also love to take pictures of my sweet kids—-and really, just about anything! My camera is always around my neck!
Wow great give away! I love people, action and landscapes!
I love landscapes. The beauty of God’s creation always gets me.
Awesome contest! My favorite photography subject is travel!
How awesome! My favorite subjects are my two Yorkies. I just love ’em! Thanks for the chance to win! :)
My favorite photography subject would have to be children! They’re so much fun to photograph and change so quickly that it’s important to capture every moment!
OH I would love love love this amazing prize!! Great giveaway!! My favorite thing to photograph is people in love! Sappy I know, but so true! : )
My favorite subject is definitely my dog, Mia! She never has a bad hair day, so she makes it easy ;)
Wow, what an awesome giveaway!! I love to shoot scenery, people, nature, and FOOD. I hope I am lucky enough to win!!
I love to take pictures of people. I have taken some amazing shot during prom season, but have struggled with what photo editing software to use. I will definately look into the Topaz software. I am hoping to find a software that if I was shoting my daughter and she was holding a flower I could make the picture black and white but make the flower the brightest of colors. This is soooooo exciting!
People; my two boys are the perfect subjects!
Oh my goodness! How awesome would that be?! Thanks for the chance to even dream of great photos!
I take lots and lots of people shots, mostly my two girls. My older one is perfectly posed in every shot and I can get 50 great pics in a matter of seconds. The little one is fast as lightning and I have maybe 10 decent pictures of her total. It would be nice to edit out the blurs! :) hahah
Thanks K & A!
My boys :-)
my baby girl! oh and buildings and unique views of cities when we go on vacation. just got a new camera and would love to have this!
Honestly, I will take a picture of anything in my line of sight…lol. I just LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE taking pics. I guess if I had to choose one thing though, I love food shots. Strange, huh?
I would absolutely positively do a back flip (figuratively speaking, of course) if I won these. Thanks for the chance Amanda and Topaz!
I think the “easiest” to photograph would be nature (mountains, flowers) but I prefer to take pet pictures. :)
I like recreating old fashioned pictures of people.
I love capturing moments when the kids or friends are not looking into the camera-just doing what they are doing. I also like doing scenery shots. I am self-teaching the many things I can do with my camera.
I love to photograph pretty things – flowers in my garden, food, just about anything pretty I can find!
My children! Seriously, they’re very cute! A friend directed me to your site last week, and I’m so thankful to have found it! I’ve already raved about you on facebook and sent other grateful people your way. Thank you!
I love to photograph children and nature. Even better if the children are in nature. :)
I love to photograph anything actually! I enjoy using the macro lens on my camera to pick out the detail on animals or plants and catching the ‘action’ of a shot when there are people. My favourite thing of all to photograph are weddings! :-)
I love to photograph children! Especially those shots of the unexpected, but everyday life with little people. What a fun giveaway. Thanks for the opportunity.
If I don’t have anyone lined up for a shoot, I will sometimes just take my camera out and find things to photograph! It has taught me to look for cool and interesting things in even the most blah places!
HI Amanda,
I love your site and talk about it with my friends all the time:) I have used some of your recipes and look for ideas on many things from decreating to taking pictures… I have been using your tuturials to take pics with my easy shot cannon exprimenting with the av and shutter speed settings.. before I only used auto. I love to take all kinds of pictures…my favorite subject is my three year old little girl.. she is the life in of my photos. I love capturing her little spirit and building a story of her life through pictures!
My Kids… Definitely my kids…At 8 they are so conditioned to me with my camera that they don’t even acknowledge it anymore unless I say “cheese” Great for candid shots…
I love nature photos, especially fall when all the trees start changing colors!
I love to photograph people and I also do a lot of photography of cards that I make.
This is an awesome package! I like to photograph anything that stands still long enough for me to shoot (and even stuff that doesn’t sit still). Currently I’m spending a lot of time laying on the floor taking shots of our new puppy who is just too cute for words!
Oh the food I could photograph with this!!! Pick me!!!
I love taking pictures of my husband and daughter.
While I enjoy shooting landscapes, my favorite subject is my 18 month old daughter. In about 4 weeks her brother should be here so we’ll be taking lots of pictures. I’d love to win this!!
Eeeeek! This is so awesome! I am a photography student at University of Houston. I lurrrrve shooting night shots & experimenting with light. I am shooting a carnival this weekend @ night, and looking forward to the outcomes!
Pictures of my grandkids!
I love playing with the hue and brightness of photos. So does my daughter. Thanks for the opportunity!
~Tammy
This is a great editing software, I’ve never heard of them before. But I love taking pictures of food. Whatever I find or am eating at the moment, I’m taking a picture of it!
People. I love to photograph my little one.
i love to photography people! :)
My favorite subject is my children…..when I can get them to hold stil for 2 seconds :). Thansk for the awesome giveaway! I would love to try these, your photos are always so beautiful!
I love taking pictures of my pet dogs, beautiful things like flowers, places that we visit, food, myself and of course, people who are dear to me… ^__^
Pets are by far my favorite!
I love to photograph scenery and people, but scenery doesnt move or need to smile all the time! Its just beautiful as is! I would really love that editing program, it looks fun to use !
Stephanie
And scenery won’t stick two fingers up behind the head of something when you’re trying to get a serious picture D-)
I just started my photography business in May, and this would save so much time on the after process.
I love photographing children. I love capturing their moments and expressions!
Thank you for all the fabulous giveaways!
My fav. subject lets just say I’m my kids paparazzi. They are the best subjects to photography because I’m yet to take the same picture twice EVEN if I tried.
Simply amazing! I love photographing sports of any kind, & people.
I love to photograph my niece and nephews, of course! I love landscape photograpy and love to take pictures of nature-flowers, mountains, the ocean, etc!! Such a fantastic giveaway!! =)
I love taking pictures of my kids but it’s easier said than done because they never want to sit still!
I just started doing photography as a side business (I’m a stay at home mom) and I have to say photographing people really is a passion for me! I love taking pictures of couples in love, families,and children (especially my own)!
WOW! Your Chicago pictures are AMAZING! I can’t believe the difference.
My favorite photography subject is anything outdoors, especially in the Fall in New England. The leaves, birch trees, mountains are awesome.
Thanks!!!!
I love taking landscape photos,patriotic scenes and portraits. Would seriously like to take a photography class and have some major scrapbooking to catch up on!
Thanks for considering me!
For me it’s people. I have boys, so it’s often Sports and Kids. Amanda thanks for sharing how you boosted that photo – the Chicago photos were lovely!
Food is my fave thing to photograph!
i love people…. photography with people… capturing expressions and feelings! LOVE!
I’m so excited.. I hope I this. I enjoy photographing people the most.
People are my favorite thing to photograph. Giggles and smiles from my nephew are THE best! : )
My favorite subject is definitely nature. It doesn’t matter if it is a landscape, flora, fauna, or animal – I feel at home photographing nature.
I prefer to photograph my beautiful baby girl. She is the best subject that I can find! I would LOVE to win this!!!
I enjoy taking pictures of my TWO girls!
