Today I announce the five “Power of 5″ winners.

Many subscribers will remember that last month I held a “Great Tip Search”, and with that a competition. The five authors of the best 5 tips submitted would each win a Canon Powershot A630 digital camera.

I had a huge number of entries - over 2,500! Thanks to everyone who entered - I really appreciated the time you put into entering your particular tips. Reading all the tips, I noticed a number of very common themes, so it was sometimes hard to choose a ‘winning’ tip from all the great entries.

After much deliberation. I have selected the five winners:

I chose these tips because they each described a simple, yet very effective way of taking better photos.

Thanks again to all who entered. I got lots of great feedback.

If you didn’t win this time - stay tuned, because I have more competitions and special prizes in the works.

David.
