Take Your Best Shot
We wanted to make Think Pink month end off with a … shot.
Many of you entered our camera contest earlier this month, and for those of you who weren’t lucky winners the first time around - you have a chance at yet another awesome piece of photographic gadgetry. (Don’t you love me?!)
This month, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Casio, Inc. released a special-edition camera bundle, featuring a pink EX-Z75, a camera case embossed with the pink ribbon and a pink ribbon-clad lanyard to show their proud support of the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF).
“The National Breast Cancer Foundation was founded to give help, support and hope to those facing breast cancer,” said Janelle Hail, Founder and President of the National Breast Cancer Foundation. “We thank Casio, Inc. for joining us in helping save lives through education and early detection.”
The 7.2 megapixel baby is fun, totally easy to use, and sure to please. It is also super slim - even slim enough to slip into your hot jeans between shots. (I believe this can apply to any way you choose to define the word!)
EX-Z75 is packed with a 2.6-inch wide LCD display, Anti-Shake DSP for reducing photo blur due to shaky hands or moving subjects and eBay mode which allows for photographs to be easily uploaded at the appropriate size for selling on eBay or for personal web use. Here’s why I love this camera: 34 programmed settings referred to as Best Shot modes that will enable you to capture perfect images under a variety of circumstances. Drunk, wobbly, and holding a plastic cup in one hand and the camera in the other? You will still get a good shot!
Thank you, technology!
One reader will win this camera - by telling me how UNLUCKY you are. Casio is known for their Best Shot mode - built around saving us from ourselves. So tell me about some of your WORST shots. Saddest tale wins!

Let me know if you want me to upload the four dozen crappy pictures I took before I got the 19 reasonably decent pictures seen here. Concerts are the hardest things to shoot because it’s mostly dark and the lights are always doing odd things and the musicians are always moving around. My method is just take a zillion pictures and hope one or two comes out OK.

I spent my summer vacation on Cape Cod without a camera. My children refused to loan me a camera, even though one of them lost the cable to my camera. So alas I returned home pictureless. My puppy is due to give birth the first week of December and I would love to capture this event. Please pick me.

Ok, so I actually had a really nice camera at one point. It was amazing. I had it for a few months brought it everywhere and took a ton of pictures. Then I moved to a new house. Well, short story, we hired movers to do the job… it seems that the camera “mysteriously disappeared”. I was pretty bummed. Since I just graduated school and have like 50k in college loans to pay off and get paid beans where I work… I haven’t bought a new camera. I’ve been using my cell phone camera and it really does not cut it.
AND I’m turing 21 in 4 days. It would be great to have a camera (other than a cell phone) to take pictures now that i can legally go out!
PLEEEEEEAAAASE??

I’m so unlucky, this morning I over-slept, the hot water heater pilot light had gone out overnight, so I was stuck with a freezing shower. Getting out of the shower I triped over my little dog, Tater (who loves to take showers, he just waits for the shower door to open) falling head first on to the edge of the towel rack so now I looks like my husband beats me. Lovely. What a great way to start the day.

I Know it’s not a camera story, but…..

My worst shot in recent memory (there have been so many) was when I tried to photograph my ferret stealing a Goetze’s Caramel Cream (hello, Halloween!) from my coffee table, and instead got a photo of my tan carpet- which is the worst kind. Please help me.

Im very unlucky. I went mountain climbing with a friend. I took my Canon Powershot with me. I wanted to take a pic when we got to the top. When we were going up, I heard a crunch in my pocket, the LCD screen broke. The camera is worth $ 300. I was devastated, because I love seeing the world through a lense. I would still love to take a picture of the sunset on top of the mountain, with a new camera.

My husband and I had just recieved a beautiful digital camera as a wedding present. We owned it for about 3 months when we had his cousins wedding to attend. Just as the bride and groom are dancing their first dance as husband and wife, my husband went to take the picture and his mom bumped into his arm and he dropped the camera. The lens which was extended at the time was dented to the point that it couldn’t even go back to it’s original position. So not only did we not get any pix of his cousins big day - we also broke the camera for good.

I recently borrowed a camera from my mother. Well on my last trip climbing mountains with my friend, the camera fell out of my pocket and smashed to the ground thousands of feet away. I can’t afford to buy a new camera and I really need to replace the one she lost as I feel terrible about it. Please help me get a new camera so she doesn’t disown me. Thanks.

Just a few months before I graduated college 7 years ago, I bought myself a decent camera, to treat myself for finishing school. I landed a gig taking concert photos for a music web site, and took a roll of film of (hopefully) awesome shots, the night before graduation. After the ceremony, I left a bag of my fun stuff - some unopened presents, the camera with the film in it, and a few other things, locked in my friend’s car trunk, while we went out to dinner in Manhattan. We came back to find the trunk broken into, the bag gone.. No presents, no camera, no film. I haven’t had the heart to invest in a camera since.

Ninth grade school pictures.
As if freshman year isn’t embarrassing and awkward enough.
My dad tells me I look like I’m on drugs.
Which I would NEVER do.
Needless to say.
I’ve been camera shy ever since.
