SUBMIT: Your Best Cloud Photo by October 10th. WIN: Color Lens and Flash Filter Set [Closed]

Dec 2, 2011 11:19 PM

Giveaway Tuesdays has officially ended! But don't sweat it, WonderHowTo has another World that's taken its place. Every Tuesday, Phone Snap! invites you to show off your cell phone photography skills.

Submit your best shot to our weekly competition for a chance to win an awesome prize. Phoneographers only—both Android and iPhone welcome! Check it out now.

This week's Giveaway Tuesday is simple: shoot that fluffy white abyss above! Clouds are easily available to everyone, and they're undeniably beautiful. Of course, we're looking for interesting shots, and there are ways you can create a photo that stands out in the crowd.

You'll need to consider composition, texture, color, and lighting—you can play around with filters if you're using a cell phone (or any camera for that matter), or experiment with Photoshop for some post-production tweaking. Stay tuned for tutorials, tips and inspiration throughout the week.

ENTER TO WIN

Your very own color lens and flash filter set! Portable, easy to use, and lots of fun. The set comes with 8 pocket-sized filters on a ring—attach to your keyring or camera bag, or carry in your pocket.

Colorful translucent acrylic sheets arranged in a fan shape.

You can shoot by holding the filter of your choice in front of the lens, or by holding the filter over your flash. If you hold it in front of the lens, the color will flood the scene; if you opt for the flash, the color will only invade the areas your flash hits. Check out the examples below from Photojojo.
