Updated 04/11. Note. FB no longer allows you to “Suggest To Friends”. In absence of this feature you can use the “Share” link and suggest the page by posting it on your wall.

Many of you are already fans over on the Seim Effects Facebook page, but if you’re not check it out because you’ll find news and updates, tips and various cool freebies.

Anyways I have a special deal for you FB friends. If you think I’ve earned a little word of mouth and are willing to help out I’d like you to tell your friends. In return I’m giving back a special thank you gift. Suggest the Seim Effects page to friends and get a $10 coupon good towards anything on the site. No strings. You simply have to suggest the page your Facebook photo friends by using the “Share” link (as pictured).

Here’s how to do it…

  • Go to facebook.com/seimeffects (make sure you you’ve +Like’d the page).
  • Click the “Share” link on the button left of the page. A window will popup.
  • Post the page to your wall. You’re welcome to add a personal recommendation.
  • Alternately click the link in the same window to email the suggestion to specific photo friends (at least 15).
  • Finally, email me (effects@seimstudios.com). Let me know you posted to wall or suggested to at least 15 friends.
  • I’ll send a special one time coupon ASAP that’s good for $10.

This is an honor system, so as my habit is I’m trusting you to be fair. When you send me that email I’m trusting you’ve really followed through. If using the email method, there’s no need to suggest t0 friends who are not interested in photography, but you must suggest to at least 15 friends.

This coupon is a flat $10 discount good on any Seim Effects goodies, including the new Power Workflow 3. It’s my thank you for being a customer and helping spread the word about a better way to edit photos. Let me know if you have questions… Gav

lensbaby

This contest has ended. Thanks to all who entered. A winner will be posted shortly. For some quick photo goodies check out our freebies section.

To kick off the Lightroom Power LIVE workshop we’re giving away a Lensbaby.

Editing is a powerful thing. It’s how Seim Effects got started after all and it’s what we’ll be mastering in my LR Power LIVE workshop coming in Jan. But great effects start in camera too and part of the goal at Seim Effects is to expand the way we make images and help photographers be more creative. Valued at nearly $300, the Lensbaby Composer is a fun tilt shift style lens that gives a great effect and composer_weballows a spot focus controlled by how you set the lens. If you’ve never tried one, you’re missing out.

I carry one on most sessions. It’s not a lens to use for everything, but a great tool to bring out and get creativity flowing with. A good capture and a few Seim Effects get me great finished results like the one above.

The winner will receive a new Lensbaby Composer in any one of the mounts Lensbaby offers (see their site). Contest will close on Jan 14th 2010 at midnight pacific time. A winner will be announced shortly after. This is the first of hopefully many fun contests to come. Enter and enjoy.

Here’s how it works. This is a Twitter contest. Follow gavinseim on twitter, then post the exact phrase below on your Twitter. If you don’t have a twitter account you’ll need one to enter (it’s time anyways). Tweet exactly whats below or your entry may not be counted. Just copy and paste if you like.
