Only a Few More Days Left to Enter to Win a Lytro Camera

Only a Few More Days Left to Enter to Win a Lytro Camera

June is the month to win cameras here at Fstoppers. Not only are we giving away a Canon 5D MKIII or a Nikon D800, but until June 26, you can enter to win a Lytro! This tiny little camera got a lot of hype at the end of 2011, and for good reason. It basically redefined what a still image could be and introduced the new light field sensor unit of measurement, the megaray. So join Fstoppers and Camera Awesome as we give one away!

So what does it take to win? Just follow these simple steps:

1) On your iPhone, download Camera Awesome from the App Store.
2) Take a photo of a person. Any person. Doing anything* at all. It just needs to be a portrait.
3) Awesomize the photo! How you process, crop, or edit the image is up to you.
4) Share the photo on twitter (you can do this straight from the Camera Awesome App, or upload it from your desktop later), and make sure your caption says the following:

I want to win a #Lytro from @fstoppers! @awesomize your entry: http://bit.ly/L14IIN

…followed by the link to your image (Twitter makes this automatically).

You can upload your entry to Twitter from Camera Awesome.

5) On June 27, we will post our 10 favorites. Vote for what you think is the best one, and the winner by the end of the day on the following Monday will win a Lytro camera!

If you haven’t tried Camera Awesome, now is a great time to start. It’s an excellent app that has a bucket load of great features that we love.

*Actions you or those in your photos take part in must be safe. Don’t do anything stupid. You’ll regret it! We don’t condone or encourage dangerous or illicit behavior. We aren’t responsible for your crazy antics! Nothing sexually explicit please. What does that mean? Use your good judgement. Contest is active from Tuesday June 12 through Tuesday June 26 11:59 PM EDT. You may enter as many photos as you like. Any entries received after the close date will not be eligible to win. Must be a resident of the United States and Canada to be eligible to win.

NOTE: You MUST have a public Twitter profile for this to work. If your profile is protected, we will not see your entry.

Aw what if I have an android? *sad face*
http://www.facebook.com/hiroschneider Jaron Schneider
Hm. You can send the photo to a friend of yours who has an iPhone, process it there, and then send it in. Roundabout, but do able.
Sorry… the app is only for iPhone :(
Blake Britton
Lame. I would have expected something a little better from you guys, especially since Android phones are the majority of cell phones these days…

Yea, nice, except my apple budged has been depleted.

I don’t have an Iphone… really a SAD and exclusive giveaway… :(

Contest available only to iphone owners.

Iphone, really.. How about us poor folks who dont have a smart phone, cause with all my electronic toys an iphone or smart phone seems redundant.
MLee Kneer
iPhone only? sucks!

I am not from the
USA and Canada and I have an android….double unlike…:(

Not only can I not afford an iphone…now I can’t even enter into contests because I can’t?

Pretty cool filters in the Camera Awesome app! Thanks for letting us know about this! Fingers crossed!! I’ve been fantasizing about the Lytro!
http://twitter.com/jmmaxman Jacqueline Maxman
Just found fstoppers and disappointed already. Not everyone has married themselves to Apple… Is there an option for android users?
http://www.facebook.com/people/Paul-Saxby/719280495 Paul Saxby
Come on guys… why US and Canada only?..
Edd Mewborn
Apple exclusivity irritates me. While that might not have been the aim of this, it only help solidify my dislike.
Which is a bummer, because I’d have really like a Lytro.

I’d really love an opportunity to enter to win a Lytro, however I do not have an iPhone. What a bummer that the only way to enter this contest is to have a specific device. Thanks for excluding a chunk of the population!!

US and Canada only….again………and iPhone only…..again.
What about us overseas followers and those who don’t want to follow the fruit?
http://www.facebook.com/judson.leroi Judson LeRoi
It’s sponsored by an iPhone app developer, what do you guys expect? I’m just irritated that you have to have a Twitter account. Oh well, guess I’ll sign up.

So many freaking whiners, Fstoppers has lots of contests. So you might not be able to enter one, big freaking deal, it’s not like you are losing anything or that Fstoppers is stealing something from you, You didn’t have it to begin with. Stop acting like little children.
Chris Newman
Too many hoops for me to jump through on this one. But for all of you complaining, you also realize that the Lytro only works with mac’s right? Life is full of limitations.

I would love to have one of these but i don’t have an iPhone. This is really a bad idea since many people have androids like myself and some still don’t even have smartphones. This does not give everyone a proper chance to win since it should be for anyone who wants to win it, not just iPhone users.
http://www.patrickhallphotography.com Patrick Hall
the reason it’s iPhone only is because an iphone app company is sponsoring it….we are giving away a D800 or 5D Mark III through facebook.
http://www.facebook.com/jeanne.h.warnars Jeanne Hogan Warnars
I agree Blake….after weighing out all options, the Android is an excellent system that happens to be affordable. For that, we are out? Shame, shame, shame.
http://www.facebook.com/jeanne.h.warnars Jeanne Hogan Warnars
So, is FStoppers offending Android users as a rule, or simply because iPhone users are used to purchasing apps versus getting apps for free? Believe it or not- if the app is worth paying for, Android users will buy it. I am very disappointed.
Kyle Sheppard
If the sponsor is Camera Awesome, wouldn’t it make sense to limit it to those who can use the product they are pushing? Makes perfect sense to me.

Hey all you Android users—I’ve got an iPhone and I’m annoyed too! This is way too much work to enter. The 5D3/D800 giveaway, on the other hand, is the standard by which all other contest entry procedures should be judged.
Also, don’t feel bad. You know you never win these things anyway. Or is that just me?

What if don’t have an iPhone nor an Android?
http://www.facebook.com/kyron Kyron Gray
Waaaa!, I can’t get something for free! Grow up, self-entitled whining dolts. Now go and do something worthwhile in the world that doesn’t include thinking your unique and desperate situation that excludes you from winning an object is in any way important when people can’t scrape enough money together to feed their children. YOU DON’T HAVE PROBLEMS
http://www.facebook.com/michaeljburton Mike Burton
Agree with most of the comments here… only USA and CANADA
http://www.facebook.com/people/Cole-Ewert/1355973251 Cole Ewert
I don’t have and iPhone :(
http://twitter.com/Seshan Seshan
LOL, you know the app is free right?

This is racist against England and Nokias.

The contest is sponsored by an iPhone software company…

Just curious here, if we made this world wide, and you won…and shipping/taxes were $200, would you accept the prize?
Aaron Psylywyc
I live in the USA/Canada and have an iPhone but I for one am OUTRAGED that the contest won’t accept any submissions after Tuesday June 26 11:59 PM EDT, because I know I’m going to have an awesome photo on June 27. How prejudiced and disgusting of f-stoppers to exclude me from this contest. If only they would be considerate of people taking photos on Wednesday the 27th, then I would win this Lytro and every other contest everywhere ever.
Seriously, people, take a second to read what you’re saying, then take a chill pill.

I’m upset that you are required to have an internet connection to enter. I’m replying to this post via android powered telepathy.
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_WZFNDSQFYXL2TP3NP2AVEQV32U RUSS
:-( Awwwww :-( Other people get to enter?
THIS SERIOUSLY CUTS DOWN MY CHANCES OF WINNING!
oh wait, i didnt enter. OK carry on than… ;-)
Fstoppers, keep up the amazing work. Try not to let the debbie-downers get you down.

I would. In the end it still would be damn more expensive here.

:( No iphone yet; waiting to upgrade w/ my carrier in a month – boo! But, I do have an Ipad 3 w/ Camera Awesome… can that be an exception?
Ralph Hightower
What can Android guys do to enter the contest?

not sure I really care about a lytro to tell you the truth.

There are indeed many photog’s globally wanting to be able to enter in these kind of competitions. *sad face* from me too!

Soooo no crapple Iphone no chance ?
Sam Kidd
No iphone here. I hate you.

I agree with the others, very lame to limit this contest to iPhone owners! Believe it or not most of us are using Android.
JDGfromMTL
Android discrimination. Boooooo.
rastarafi
Dear FS. Please be considerate of your readers overseas. Offering this kind of prize, it shouldn’t be a problem for you to add expedited delivery.
