Win My New Book! Canon 60D: From Snapshots to Great Shots

It’s official! My new book, EOS Canon 60D: From Snapshots to Great Shots, is in-stock and available to order! Earlier this year I wrote the Canon 7D version of the book, and so when the 60D was rumored to come out I was asked to revise my book to work for the 60D. This is the second book I’ve written for this Snapshots series … of which there are a ton of other books written by several other amazing and talented authors. :)

So, to kick off my book release I’m going to be giving away THREE signed copies of my book to my readers! Everyone is eligible … all you have to do is comment on the blog for a shot at one of the books! Be sure you include your email address so I can contact you for your address if you get picked.

Comments will close on January 4th at 12:00 MST, and shortly after that I will randomly pick the three names. Good luck!

Update: The commenting period for this giveaway is now closed—winners will be announced shortly. :)

  74. the 60d’s a good for bird photography with its crop sensor!

  75. Dan Lewis

    Great Job!! Looking forward to seeing the book!

  76. Woody

    60d on the way, I’m a total beginner, so the book should help me get the most out of my new toy.

  77. James

    Nicole, I discovered your work while viewing time lapse tutorials on Vimeo, and have really enjoyed your blog. It’s also cool that you’re local here in Utah. And thanks for the great PS tutorials.

  78. I have so much enjoyed following you on TWIP, with Leo, your blog and twitter – just got my 60D about a month ago and Love it! Would love to have a free instructional guide! Keep up the Awesome Work!

  79. Doreen

    I just received the Canon 60D and I can’t wait to get to know all the functions to help improve my photography. The book looks fantastic. I’d love to have it!

  80. Karen Chew

    Someone told me that getting a good camera is a good investment in life. With this comment, the first camera I picked up is Canon 60D. Athough I know nothing much about photo taking, but I really believe is a good investment.

  81. Mitch Silvers

    The Canon 60D is an awesome camera for both still and video photography I use the camera as a backup for my 7D. I own your book for the 7D and it’s been very useful for me and it travels in my photo backpack with the camera at all times.

  82. I have a canon 60D and my father doubts if I could really do it. He doesn’t think I would….on my facebook acocunt I was able to capture good photos for my first month on DSLR…. I want to prove my father wrong…and make him proud of me…even just this…. they didn’t like my suggestion of a 60D and they wanted to get me an entry level but I already own a film SLR and I want to prove to them I have learned a lot and is studying well. I want to tell them that their investment is worth it because for me…photography is a hobby to change the world one step at a time. :)

  83. Jose Marrero

    “A cup of coffee, and waiting for the mountains to get clear again” -NSY. Want the book, Randomly pick me ;) !!!

  84. HEY! I just got the 60D and i am looking for a book! this will be great!

  85. Now this book would make the perfect surprise gift for a friend who just confessed to me that she had bought the 60D and needed my help!

  86. Glen

    It sure looks like a winner already. Congrats!

  87. Lisa O

    I bought the 7D book even though I don’t have a 7D. Congrats on your new book. Is it available on the Kindle?

  88. Mike Khouzam

    Inspirational. I’m going out right now to create something!!

  89. Fitz

    Congrats on the new book.

  90. Gordon Jones

    Enjoyed the book on the 7D

  91. The 60D could very well be my next camera (chosing between Canon 60D, Nikon D7000 and Pentax K5 right now), and this book might help me to make that choice! LLAP.

  92. The 60D looks like a great everyday camera. Would go great with the 7D I am using. I loved your 7D book, I’m sure the 60D book rocks just as hard.

  93. Sweet, looking forward to reading the book one way or another!

  94. Awesome! Looking forward to the book. Having a signed copy would be cool, though.

  95. Congrats on the book, Nicole, the 60D is a great camera.

  96. Looks like a great book. Love my 60D so far. Mostly using it for aerial photos. See a few at http://photo.net/photos/Brianflys or my photo site at http://www.Briaflys.com. Yes, I need to continue to learn!

  97. I really could use the upgrade, glad I found out about this from your tweet just in a nick of time! * Crossing all humanly crossable body parts*
