Summer is upon us! Colorado is having unseasonably warm temperatures, which means more time outside and less on the computer. I’m catching back up on the last few days of missing blaogs. In the meantime, here are some Monday evening links – enjoy!

• Want a chance to win a free trip to Tasmania? Check out this promotion, sponsored by a group of folks currently in Tasmania taking photos while using the new beta version of Lightroom.
• If you haven’t checked out the Layers Magazine blog yet, you should. R.C. Concepcion brings a fun style to it and tons of great links and resources. I also really like their Monday contests. The questions are usually pretty easy (they usually require tracking down some interesting fact from their site) and offer great prizes, including software, books and more. Go check out their site here. It’ll be worth it.
• The folks at FlashFlavor are doing something interesting. They posted a shot of a wedding reception area and asked the readers how they would light/shoot it. Check out the post here. Make sure you read the comments, though. It is really great to see inside the minds of other shooters and find out how they would approach a siuation and do some problem solving.
• For a more esoteric, yet interesting topic, try this event. It is a Digital Media Day, which aims at celebrating and raising awareness of the digital media community (which most photographyers are a part of).
