    This book looks so awesome! As always, love love your posts, both here, flickr, youtube and vimeo.
    You are an inspiration to me.

  15. Scott M

    Love reading your photo blog. It’s one of my daily reads. I appreciate the straight forward approach you bring. I’ve been teaching myself to “shoot” by consuming everything I can get my hands on. It’s been one year and I’m not satisfied with where I’m at, so I guess that means I need your book!

    Thanks for your insights, keep up the great work.

  16. Adam

    From the title, I’d guess this book is aimed at amateurs wanting to learn how to use DSLRs, not pros looking for 3rd party comprehensive guide to the 7d. Is that accurate?

    BTW – Where are the Hamburger stock shots?

  17. This is awesome! I love your photography.

  18. Matthew

    You are a great inspiration to us Nicole.

  19. Glen

    You’re an inspiration. Keep those wonderful blogs coming.

    If the entry comes from a blogger/podcaster who interviewed you, can he get it autographed?

  102. Nicole

    Wow, I have a lot of competition here! 101 comments already! That’s because it is an AWESOME book! Who wouldn’t want a free autographed copy?

    Crossing my fingers.

  103. I’ve enjoyed learning from your blog and checking out your iStock portfolio!
    You Rock!

  105. John Crider

    I have followed you on twitter since I heard you on TWIP. I no longer listen to TWIP but I still read your tweets. I can’t wait to see what you have to say in your book.

  106. Mike Peterson

    I love your site and photos. I am starting to get into the pro side of photography and have found your tips and tutorials amazing.

  107. So far a one-in-108 chance of winning. Worth it.

  108. I am going to buy this book anyways but if I win then I will give my unsigned copy to a friend that I talked into buying a 7D also.

  109. Love your blog, esp. loved the recent newborn photos. My daughter in law is in labor as I’m writing this. I’m so excited and can’t wait to take some photos of my first grandchild.
    Always love your tutorials and would love to have a book autographed by you.
    Thanks! :)

  110. Count me in to win! I love the 7D and have found it changing my photography… and video!

  111. Congrats to your book. I hope I won´t win. That would be quite expensive since I would have to buy myself a 7D first.

  112. Brandon Blue

    Like so many others, I would LOVE THIS CAMERA! Your book would be a pretty good start. And the autograph would be a bonus.

  113. Just got a 7D a month ago :)

  114. Renee

    Beautiful cover shot!

  115. David Singh

    I looking forward to this book. I’m undecided between the 7D and T2i for my needs and think that this book will be great in helping me decide.

    My last camera was a Canon EOS 3 – 35mm.

  116. Love your work, would love to have the 7D – but I’m also fine with your book.
    btw – I am from Germany. If I win, I’ll pay the shipping myself ;-]

  117. I’m from Canada, so I’m not eligible to win. That ok though because I bought the book as soon as I heard about it. It’s very well done and hopefully with help me improve my photos.

  118. Pick me! I wanna learn how!

  119. Brekke Felt

    So cool about the new book! I have been watching for it in stores. Grats!

  120. I would love a copy of this book. Looking at picking up a 7D this weekend.

  121. The 122nd comment, not unlike my 122nd shot, is ALWAYS the best one. :)

    I bought my 7D last month, and while I am still learning, your site has been very helpful, both directly for the camera, and in many general photo friendly areas.

    Keep up the good work!

  122. Looks like an interesting read!

  123. Stephanie Frey

    I already purchased the book. Whoever wins won’t be disappointed. Wonderful book!

  124. janetwoodard

    I have your book and although I haven’t tried the challenges yet, I’m very excited to get started.

    I purchased the 7D to take to Israel, my pictures were so unforgettable I tried to blame it on the camera, then I decided to read the user guide, which lead to an Amazon search to your book and of all the books I purchased so far, around 10, yours is what I was looking for.

  125. Even though I am a nikon user I”ve been following your blog for quite sometime, and all of your posted info has actually improved my hobby a lot. Thanks for everything, especially for being a teacher.

  126. Andrej

    Looks like a great source of information, would love to get it!

  127. Robert

    I have the camera. Only need the book.

  128. If I win could you inscribe it “you can pick your nose and you can pick your snapshots, but you can’t wipe your snapshots on your pants.” ?
    Just kidding :)

  129. Rod Conkrite

    Good luck with the book!!!!

  130. Love your work and your tutorials

  131. Cathmo
