I love the images we showcase on our site, and we’ve been fortunate to feature photographers who share their photos on Flickr, under the Creative Commons License. So we’re really excited to announce a new monthly TravelMuse Photo Contest, sponsored by Eye-Fi.
For each of the next six months, we’ll run a different theme, and all you have to do is upload your photos to our TravelMuse Contest group in Flickr. We’ll award one Eye-Fi Explore card each month (value $130 each) to the winner and feature your photos on TravelMuse, where appropriate.
Get started now! Check out the full details. The first theme is “Essence of Place.”
I recently won an Eye-Fi Explore card (in the recent Passports With Purpose raffle, donated by WeJustGotBack)—which was a bit ironic as we were already in discussions for this contest. Anyway, it was a great opportunity to test the product out for myself! The Eye-Fi Explore allows you to wirelessly upload photos to your online photo album, and it automatically geo-tags your photos! I found the card very easy to install on my PC and in my digital SLR (Canon Rebel Xsi). I had to take one extra step to format the card, but that was quick and just involved hitting the format setting in the menu of my camera. I also poked around the Eye-Fi Manager, which you download to your PC or Mac. There is a great FAQ and a forum section. This is a very cool and fun product!
Good luck with the contest, and I hope you have as much fun with this new product as I’m having!!
