Okay, so I was drawing numbers for Lindsey’s The Pleated Poppy give away, and I tried so. hard. to resist rigging it so I win. Then I remembered that I was a slacker and didn’t link up. So, I don’t win. Instead, the winner is Christine (Photography by Coco) who blogs at From Storms to Sunshine. She shared this awesome image with us:
I’m only |—————– this much ———————-| jealous that she has a beach that close to her house.
Ready for this week’s featured shop?
Photography Haven is a new blog that Amanda started to aid both new and experienced amateur and professional photographers. It is a resource blog, of sorts, with lists of places to find free and for-purchase actions, textures, presets, as well as available workshops for photography and editing. She is also providing Photoshop Elements tutorials twice a week, with extensive screen shots so that even the newest PSE user will be able to follow along. Once a month she is providing a video tutorial to follow along with a written tutorial she has provided for Rita at Coffeeshop.
In addition to being a resource blog, Photography Haven is also the home of her Photoshop Elements workshops. Amanda offers three 2 hour online classes: Beginners, Intermediate and All About Actions. Each class is only $25 and it includes private access to many video tutorials she has created for each level.
The winner of this week’s Sweet Shot Tuesday will receive a spot in her (or his) choice of any May or June workshops. If you have already purchased a spot in one of the classes and you win this giveaway, Amanda will send you a refund via Paypal.
If you win and you do not have PSE, you can do a give-away on your blog inviting your readers to enter. This makes sure the class falls in the hands of someone with Photoshop Elements.
Thanks, Amanda!

Darcy,
First thanks for hosting this place for us all to gather and share. I love it!
Second, I just read your post about photographing from different positions. I think this one thing has helped me to improve my photography 100% (that and a macro lens!)
Thanks again,
Wendy
