Enter our photo contest and you could be headed for a dream vacation on the island of Maui.

The trip, including airfare for two from a North American gateway in the continental U.S., and a rental car to explore black- or white-sand beaches, take the drive to Hana, whale-watch on the Expedition Ferry, climb Haleakala Mountain and/or visit the nearby islands of Lana’i and Moloka’i, could be yours if you win Pop Photo’s Maui: How Bad Do You Want It? Photo Contest.

To enter, send us a picture showing how much you want to go to Maui. It must have a tropical, Hawaiian theme. Your entire house decorated in palm fronds. A pineapple relaxing on the beach. A photo of you surfing in the snow. Anything goes! You can use real photos, image-editing software… whatever you want.

No purchase required. Entries will be accepted from February 1, 2008 through April 1, 2008. You must be at least 21 years of age and a legal resident of the continental United States.

Do you work magic with image-editing software?

Think you can spin photographic dross into pure gold using Adobe Photoshop, Corel Paint Shop Pro, Microsoft Picture It!, or other programs? Here’s your chance to put your creativity to the test with Pop Photo’s 2008 Digital Wizard Contest.

You could win the $1,000 grand prize and have your work published in the magazine — and there are cash prizes for runners-up, too! But hurry up — the contest ends March 31!

Download the 12 photos and then prove your wizardry. You must use elements from at least 4 of the shots. You can’t add any other images, but you can apply any filters or plug-ins your software can handle.

The deadline for entries is midnight (ET), March 31, 2008. The winners will be published in the July 2008 issue and on PopPhoto.com.

First battle presented here is: Canon A570 is versus Nikon D80 shooting fireworks. People behind cameras : me with my still new Canon(still very proud of it) and Stephen, the other editor of this site, with the Nikon D80(not sure if he is proud of his camera:D).

First the Nikon:

And now the Canon 570 photos:
Most of them were taken iwith camera’s fireworks mode( 2 seconds, f/8 and ISO80)

I was just getting in the mood when the batteries died. Today I bought rechargeable batteries, 2 couples. Yesterday I had just two regular batteries.
Now I am going on the road again, hope to get some good night shots.

Canon A570 IS, night shot, no flash:

Finally I bought a camera, a Canon A570IS. Now I have something that I can play with. Here one of my first shots:

My cat, it’s a boy and doesn’t have a name.

7. “Flying Pepsi” - again, if you want to fly with this just tell me, and I will arange with another friend of mine.

8. “Good bye” - this one was taken while I was leaving, didn’t stop for the shot, didn’t look, just walking to the exit and push the button with the camera over my head :
