Enter Our Photo Contest!

Here's your opportunity to show off your digital photography skills. We want to include your best shots in the next issue of here's how!, and on the here's how! Website; and we have some great prizes for the winners.

2 Grand Prizes!

Nikon's D3000 digital SLR has a unique Guide mode that teaches you to take better pictures. Tell the D3000 what you want to do - freeze action in a sports shot, soften the background in a portrait - and the camera will choose the appropriate settings, and explain how to get the effects you want. The D3000 also features a 10.2-megapixel sensor, 11-point autofocus system, and Nikon's exclusive Scene Recognition system. It comes with a NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 standard-zoom lens.

2 Runner-Up Prizes!

Nikon's COOLPIX S4000 digital camera can shoot 12-megapixel stills and 720p high-definition video. The super-slim camera has a wide-angle 4x NIKKOR zoom lens, three-inch LCD with touchscreen control, Electronic VR image stabilization, and Nikon's exclusive Smart Portrait system.
