You may remember the great review that Sarah Phillips did of Tamron’s new AF18-270MM F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD lens.  If you missed it, you can find all the details along with some great examples of what this lens is capable of here. This lens is available for Canon, Nikon and Sony camera bodies.

The details:

Tamron’s next generation 18-270mm, the world’s lightest, smallest 15x zoom optimized for use on APS-C- DSLRs, continues the pursuit of the ideal all-in one zoom lens. Combining prior award-winning achievements with new engineering breakthroughs yielded the remarkable 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD (Piezo Drive). Special piezoelectric technology now delivers faster, quieter precision autofocusing. Tamron’s exclusive tri-axial VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilization, featuring three pairs of driving coils and low-function ball bearings placed around the VC optical group, combats camera shake-related image blur. It’s Tamron VC that allows handheld shooting at as many as four shutter speeds slower than otherwise possible with a dramatically stable viewfinder experience. Compactness and light weight are preserved, thanks in part to the VC mechanism’s newly-developed moving coil mechanism.

Defining compositional freedom the 18-270mm Di-II VC’s incredible 15x zoom range provides a 35mm picture angle equivalency of 28mm to 419mm, with image fidelity assured by advanced optical design featuring LD glass and aspherical optics, working in concert to render crisp, colorful and faithful images.

    I love photography because it captures the little moments.

  9. I liked Tamron and ClickinMoms on FB. I love photography because there is always something new and challenging in its pursuit and at the same time I get to capture life as it happens.

  10. I liked 'em both on facebook.

    Photography is kind of a new hobby to me. Not so much a passion … yet. I like to photograph nature most – clouds, mountains, wildflowers. I also love when I get a really great candid shot of kids, but those are much more rare.

  11. I liked cm and tamron on fb. I love photography because its an outlet for my creativeness. Its the first thing in life I feel I'm good at. (it took me 30 years to figure that out) I love getting to know the people I take pictures for and giving them something they love and can look back on over the years.

  12. Umm. Total LIKE! This lens would be PERFECT for taking to the beach. I kept swapping out between my Tammy 28-75 and my Canon 55-250. I would LOVE this for my walk around lens when shooting surfers. I do hope I win! (I shoot surfing at F/8 so the variable Aperture doesn't bother me in the least!) And, I've always had Tamron lens, they are quite nice. Just took THIS photo with my Tamron today!

  13. I liked both on Facebook! I love photography because I love to capture the beauty of nature and the precious moments I spend with my children.

  17. I like both on facebook. Photography gives me a way to chronicle our lives. I love looking back at my daughters and see how they're different and the same.

  18. I like both!

    I LOVE photography because it is a snapshot in time that helps us keep our memories close at hand. I only wish I had more from my childhood before my father and grandparents passed away!

  19. I like Clickinmoms on facebook already, and I just liked Tamron.

    As for what photography means to me….so much. I could go on, but in a nutshell, it is for me the chance to have something that is all mine amidst the push and pull of being a stay at home mum. I get to freeze moments in time of my precious babes that I am possibly not appreciating as much as I should in the here and now…and I get to be creative at the same time!

  20. I liked Tamron (have liked CM for ages!).

    What I love about photography is the ability to not only preserve things as I see them now, but find new ways of seeing them as well.

  21. I am a fb fan of both!

    I love photography because it is my way of expressing myself….it is a stress relief for me and my own little get away

  22. Hi already a fan of CM and I just 'liked' Tamron. As a mother of 4 your are always taking photographs to document your children as they grow, but for me it photography became a passion when I lost my son at the age of 17 and realized that his 'book of life' must end. Breaks my heart when I heat others say that they have not had family photo's in such an such years. I just want to grab up my camera and stop time for them through photography. I love that I have a lot of photograph's of my son, but honestly there will never be enough!

  23. I have just recently gotten into snapping pictures….I love that I have a new appreciation for the mundane things in life. The wall that I would have passed by before, now begs me to take its picture. The old sign in the parking lot that I would have thought was rusty and ugly, now becomes beautiful and alive!

  24. Of course I "like" IHF and now Tamron on FB. This looks like a fantastic lens for capturing those everyday moments around our hose that I want to treasure.

  25. I like both of you on FB! I love Photography because I can capture those moments with kids and many others that I would most likely forget in the future. It reminds me of their personality and the little things I love about them.

  26. Thanks so much for the opportunity to win this great lens. I never win anything but I can't pass up atleast trying : ) Photography is such a big part of my life. Being able to record everyday moments of in my childrens lives are what make it so special. They grow so fast and in the blink of an eye they are out of the house and on their own. I know that as long as I have a camera, I will have my memories.

  27. Love CM and Tamron. Got my first Tamron a couple months ago, hasn't left my camera. I love photography and the challenge of getting a great shot SOOC.

  28. Me likey. Especially on FB. I've been desperately searching for a nice all-purpose zoom lens and this looks like it could be it!!

  29. "LIKE" CM and just "LIKED" Tamron. Would really more than like to win this lens.

    Photography gives me the ability to capture moments in time and keep them forever. Photography also opens my eyes to everthing around me and view it in a different light.

  30. I love photography first and foremost because it's a means towards documenting my family's history. I love looking at old photos and remembering the stories behind them. As for the craft of photography, I love how photography has changed the way I view the world.

  31. I became a fan of both! Photography at this time in my life (means different things at different stages) is documenting my family's growth! I cannot seem to keep up… I want to remember it forever 🙂

  32. I already liked Clickin Moms and I now like Tamron (facebook/AndreaInSC). To me, photography means that I can try to capture all the beauty that I see in the world around me…especially the beauty of my wonderful son!

  33. I liked both sites on facebook.

    And I love how photography makes me feel. I have the picture captured in my way, and that moment is suspended in time. So many moments of my life are remembered not through the memory, but through the memory of the photo.

  34. Liked Tamron on FB!

    I love photography for what it fulfills in me – something that's about me as a person, not just mommy, wife, etc. Wherever it takes me, it's my journey….

    I have been a fan of clickin moms on facebook and member of clickin moms for quite awhile now, and I have just now liked the Tamron page 🙂

    I LOVE photography, I love being able to capture those precious memories that slip away from our minds so easily. My hubby and I want to do some traveling around Australia this year and this lens would be wonderful, no having to change lens's to get that perfect shot and never missing a shot while changing lens's :(, light and perfect for travel.

    I so hope I win but goodluck to everyone 🙂

  41. Posted!! 🙂

    Photography is the most rewarding thing I've done, besides raising my kids.

  57. Melissa De Mers

    I am already a fan of CM 🙂

    Photography makes me happy…to capture the moment right then, right there & have it hanging in someone's house, on a Christmas card, a memory that will last FOREVER…that's truly amazing & that's truly why I love it so.

    thanks for this giveaway!!

  58. I not only like tamron, I love it!

    My favorite thing about photography is capturing a moment, especially capturing something that you didn't realize that was there, until you saw it in a picture =)

  59. I love photography because it allows me to catch those ever fleeting moments of my life and my family's lives and hold on to them forever!

    I like CM and Tamron on facebook.

  60. I already liked Clickinmoms and now Tamron. I love being able to capture every day happenings and recording my 3 children growing up.

  61. I like clickin moms and tamron on facebook!!

    I love photography. I see the world as a series of fine art prints and with camera in hand I love to try to capture it!

  62. I liked the Tamron page…and I love photography. First of all it is giving the awesome ability to be a stay-at-home mom with my precious baby boy…but more than that I love capturing moments that can be remembered for a lifetime!

  63. I like both!

    What I love about photography is capturing the little things in life. It's so fun to look back and reminisce.

  64. Andrea creppel

    Of course I like clikinmoms and tamron lenses (have 2 already ). Both sites are "liked" on facebook! I take pictuers in honor of my late father who passed away on 9/29/2010. I needed to see the beauty in the world again and have found that through my photography. It's amazing what u can capture with a little time and patience.

  65. Shelley Scarborough

    I like CM and Tamron on Facebook (I would love them if i could:]).

    As far as what photography means to me…well, I'm not sure that I can articulate that. It's more of a feeling than anything. I love being able to capture feelings on "film" for myself and others. I'm pretty sure it shows in my work too.

  66. I have already liked both of you for a while. 🙂 What I love about photography is that you get a glimpse into a special moment that is forever frozen in time. There is nothing like finding an old photo of your great grandparents or complete strangers and seeing that special moment captured then redoing it for someone else.

  67. Kelcie Rutherford

    Of course I already "like" CM's. Now I also "like" Tamron 🙂

    Photography to me is a new beginning. It's capturing timeless memories and being a meaningful part of someones life.

  68. Well I don't like Clickin Mom's – I LOVE it…and I love (well like on FB) Tamron – they hold a special place in my heart since they were the first great lens I ever purchased!

    Photography is special to me since it not only let's me freeze time, but I also can go back and re-appreciate the little things in those moments I may not have noticed at first glance. I can study my art and see the little flecks of gray in my son's blue eyes that match my husband's (that you just can't see until you stare at them) and the little patterns the pollen on a beautiful tigerlily leaves. It's all in the details.

  69. Envija Collins

    Like (I mean Love) Tamron! Fan of both pages.

    Photography is the only stress relief I've found and it has a side effect of making others happy too 🙂

  70. I like you both on FB!

    For me photography is about capturing the memories I make with my children!

  71. I was already a fan of clickin moms, but made sure to fan Tamron (as I have other lenses by them and LOVE them!) Photography is a way for me to express my creative side, and I love being able to gift people with priceless memories.

  72. What I love about photography…. what I really love is when years later…. after a special occasion has happened… and I am looking at the photos… or looking at the pictures I have of my children (now grown)when they were little AND BEING SO GRATEFUL THAT I HAVE PHOTOS!!!! So… I am grateful for photography giving us the chance to relive all the great memories… years later 🙂

  73. "Liked" both Clickin Moms and the Tamron FB pages.

    What do I love about photography? Capturing memories that will last forever.

  74. Of course I already “like” IHF and now Tamron on FB. This looks like a fantastic lens!! I would LOVE LOVE to win this!!! I love to capture those everyday moments around our house that I treasure!! And all those special moments in others lives.

  75. Sophie~Bug's Mo

    Already LOVE them both on facebook! What I love about photography is the ability to capture the moment as a memory… and with three children, those memories are so incredibly cherished and fun to catch!

  76. I love capturing the memories that would only be stored in our minds if not for a camera…and the fact that we often miss some of the greatest things if not seen through a lens!

  77. Stephanie Reid

    I already have Clickin Moms and Tamron liked on FB 🙂

    I love photography because I love producing beautiful images and recording memorable moments of my family.

  78. Liked you both! I am new to serious photography, but what I love about taking pictures is that with the right skill (or a little luck in my case) you can make anything look beautiful and artistic.

  79. already a fan of clickin' moms and just became one at tamron's page. photography, to me, is creating art. art that can hang in your home and tell the story in detail of all those moments or a person's personality at a certain age that you think you'll remember but forget as time passes.

  80. Kimberly Bourgeois

    I love photography because it captures emotion, stops a moment in time and you can go back when you need to and all the emotion of the moment comes rushing back. I am a Mother of ONE. I lost my son July 16, 2010 at the age of 21, I TREASURE each and every photo I have ever taken of him and I am thankful to God that he blessed me with a love for photography because I can go back when I need to and see my son through the years – through Photography!

  81. I like you both on FB (okay, maybe love…but for the sake of argument…).

    To me, photography is all about documenting a moment, an emotion; stopping time for just an instant.

  82. I love photography because its a way to be creative and competitive with others.. It is very intimidating but interesting to learn.. Im a beginner photographer but look forward to getting better with experience.. would love to add a new lens to my bag

  83. I like both Clickin Moms and Tamron on fb. I love photography because you capture a moment in time and you can look at the photograph and remember every little detail about that day.

  84. Already a fan of Clickin Moms for a long time. Just went over and liked Tamron as well.

    I am obsessed with photographs! It's the only way to truly capture those moments that pass you by in the blink of an eye. I wish I had more photographs from when I was little. That is why I take so many of my daughter. Or that is just my excuse! Ha! 🙂

    This site is a little example of how much I love taking pictures!

  85. Christina Hines

    I am a fan of both CM and Tamron. I love photography because it captures memories, for long after your memory fades.

  86. Lisa Henderson

    I already liked Clickin Moms and now I liked Tamron.

    The reason I love photography is because moments will pass and memories will fade but a photograph will remain. With a photograph I can look at little things my children did and remember what I would have otherwise forgotten.

  87. Already a fan of Clickinmoms and just became a fan of Tamron.

    I love photography because its a learning experience everyday. I'm able to take beautiful images of my children at anytime and also share my abilities with others to enjoy as well. It's just a wonderful feeling and experience!!

  88. I "liked" Tamron on facebook (already a fan of CM). What a great prize. What I love about photography is capturing all those everyday moments of my son.

  89. Just about a week ago, I broke my Tamron lens and was seriously sick over it. My camera decided to "jump" off my table and it landed lens down. At first I thought I had lucked out and only chipped the end of my FAVORITE lens, sadly I had actually damaged the zooming mechanism. Alas, it is my favorite lens, so I have been manually pulling it/pushing it in/out in order to still use it.

    I am going to cross my fingers, toes, arms, legs, eyes, in hopes of winning this new fantastic lens. Oh, pretty please let it be me!

  90. I LIKE both of you! Yipeeee! I love this lens and winning would mean taking mine (and my BFF/business partner's) photography business to the next level for sure! What an amazing giveaway! Thank you for the opportunity!♥

  91. crystal fukata

    I liked Tamron Lenses on FB (already liked Clickin Moms).

    I love photography because I get to document peoples lives and their special cherished moments.

  92. Kristin Cornell

    I became a fan of BoTh FB pages!

    Love, love, love making time stand still with photography 🙂

  93. I have liked you both on fb!!! I have liked you both in the past and will in the future:) Photography has been in my heart for many many years, even helped me do some growing as a person. I love to help others by showing them through images that their live is unique and special. I hope that my images put some joy in lives of others and in doing so upgrading my equipment is a must. Thanks for having great products !!!

  94. I like you both on Facebook. Photography allows me to be creative and to document our everyday lives. I don't know what I'd do without it!

  95. I already "liked" CM and now I like Tamron as well!! The most amazing thing to me about photography is that you are making memories last a life time!

  96. I am already a fan of both so that part was easy, LOL.

    I love taking pictures because it always seems to capture the true and unique beauty in the things and people you are photographing.

  97. I liked both on FB and love photography because my kids are adorable and it is documented in photos!

  98. Like both on FB! I love being able to capture those precious moments of my children that pass so quickly.

  99. I "liked" both sites but I was already liking your site, so bonus!

    Photography to me is capturing the candid moments, the moments that are as close to real and not posed as possible. My family is starting to enjoy it more and now don't mind as much being my models…

    Plus I really do love having the memories that we have made in picture form and being able to look at them again over and over… My kiddos really enjoy that and they love their first year books…

  100. Already like CM and happy to like Tamron, didn't even know they were on FB till now!

    I upgraded to my DSLR last summer because our memories are too precious to leave to chance. I love the control I've been given over capturing these priceless moments with our daughters. This lens would be an awesome addition to my camera!

  101. Fan of both on FB!

    I love that photography makes me see things differently when I'm *not* behind the camera, too. Everything can be beautiful from one angle or another. 🙂

  102. I am very excited about this giveaway, because this lens is exactly what I am looking for as a versatile, take with me everywhere lens! As a beginning photographer, my wish list seems endless. I've "liked Tamron" on Facebook and of course I already like (love) Clickin' Moms. Photography has always been very important to me as a way to capture my children's (and now my grandchildren's) lives. As an amateur genealogist, I also treasure the photographs of family members from the last 100 plus years. And now- as I am a new retiree, it is becoming an art form as well.

  103. I like Tamron and Clickin Moms on Facebook! I love photography because I can capture my children as they grow so I can remember them when they are "grown"!

  104. liked both on FB!

    hmm … what do i like about photography? currently it's the easiest way to stay in tune w/my artistic self as mom to 4 … and i love being able to play around w/my favorite subject, my 8 week old! =)

  105. The reason I love photography is seeing the joy it brings to my clients and friends when I've captured their families in a way that they have not been able to. Including having both mom and dad in their pictures.

  106. Melissa Woodward

    CM and Tamron Lenes are now both "liked" by me!

    Like many new moms, I felt it was my parental duty to document every new milestone of my son’s life. The smiles, the pouts, first foods, first steps… I made a promise to myself, for the first year of his life, to take one picture (or fifty!) of him each day so that those moments would never slip away from memory.

    It was during this year that I realized just how much I enjoy photography, and just how important capturing those precious moments really is.

    This is what I intend to do for my clients as well; let them live every moment of their lives, while allowing me to capture the best.

  107. I've "liked" Clickin Mom ever since..

    I've "liked" Tamron..

    What I love about photography is capturing every moments and preserving it from generation to come.

  108. Shannon Burnosky

    I like both pages:-)

    What I like about photography is the memories I have captured of my children. I have a special needs child who is hard to get great pictures of and with my awesome camera and lenses and a little extra time I am able to get the pictures of my handsome boy that I love:-)

  109. I "LIKED" You both!!!

    Photography to me is about preserving a memory, it’s feeling, and a precious time in our lives that could have been forgotten.

    I am a full time mother of four, and in my spare time I have a busy career as a photographer. I love photography!!! I need this win!! Please!

  110. Love both pages! I love so many things about photography!!!! Memories, creativity, and so on and so on!!! LOL!!!!

    I am a fan of both pages:)

    I LOVE photography because of the emotion it can show. You can capture a photo that requires no explanation whatsoever.

  112. Just shared the link on FB with fans of my blog. Not sure if it will show up as Tiffany or as Peanut Blossom, just in case you're checking that sort of thing. 🙂

  113. Already clickinmoms fan and now a tamron fan. I love being able to capture my kids. everything they do is so special!

  114. Thanks for the chance to win such a great lens! I love photography because it forces me to slow down and cherish my very busy life as a homeschooling mom of a dozen children.

  115. Erin Wrightsman

    Thank you for hosting this giveaway!

    I love photography for many reasons – its something that my dad and I enjoy doing together – going on adventures with our cameras, seeing the same thing and capturing it in our own way. Coming home and processing either film in our lab or digital files on the computer.

    I love capturing my own son and revisiting moments with him through photographs.

  116. Patsy J Lander

    I like Tamron lens mainly because I am loving photography. As a new grandmother, I have discovered that I have a passion for not only shots of a precious 4 month old grandson, but anything that will actually let me near it with my new Nikon D90. While I stretched to buy the camera, of course the lens will have to come later. This lens would allow me the opportunity to take a local photography class and really get into this passion we all love!

  117. Rebecca Kaufmann

    I liked already Cliclin Moms & just liked Tamron too. What I love about photography is all the memories it helps me preserve.

    Thank you for hosting this giveaway.

  118. I already like Clickin Moms and now like Tamron. Photography to me is freezing moments – from little everyday moments to the big ones.

  119. Patsy J Lander

    I shared this with all my family and friends, who all love photgraphy on my facebook page!!!!!

    Thanks for the opportunity for one of us lucky photographers to win a great lens!!

  120. I'm already a fan of BOTH pages on FB. :<) And I love being able to stop time with photography. It tends to fly by, especially with children. Someday, these photos will help me remember the good times…

  121. Monika Strzelecka

    Like both pages :). What I love about photography is the possibility of capturing the moments, possibility of going through it ones again after the time and have those wonderful feelings we had while the picture was taken…it's amazing…

  122. Ashton Morrissey

    I went to both pages on facebook and liked them both. I love photography because it is a way to express yourself through art. You can take something simple and make it beautiful. Photography also is a way to leave memories for not only you but others you love as well.

  123. Gosh… I want that lens… thanks for the opportunity.

    I LOVE LOVE photography because I have an awful memory… photography is a way of recording those moments in time that you know you'll want to remember some day. And even some memories you don't realize you'll want to remember. 🙁

  124. I am a member of Clicknmom's so I have liked yall for a while….

    I also liked tamron.

    Hummmm what does photography mean to me…. It means memory's, thoughts, time, love, all frozen to review over and over again.

  126. Michelle Robichaud

    "Like" Clickin Moms, "Like" Tamron, LOVE everything about photography! Thanks for this awesome giveaway. 🙂

  127. I'd love a new lense:

    Liked the FB Tamaron page

    and have Liked Clickin Mom's for a while now

    I love how photography brings people together, makes us smile as we share our memories (by looking back) and gives us incentive to get out there to make new memories as well – a new adventure, everyday moments, being funny or silly (hamming it up for the cam) with our kids. So much LIFE that photography gives us!

  128. I've liked Clickin Moms for well over a year.

    I liked Tameron.

    I love how photography can freeze a moment in time. Also, I love that I can use my skills as a photographer to help me bring home my second child from Ethiopia.

  129. let us know what you love about photography. What does it mean to you?

    What I love about photography is that the memories that I have forgotten or are way in the back of my mind are brought back once again when I sit and view the photos I've taken. Especially those of my late dd it means that she's not forgotten and she was here with all of us she was real and we did enjoy life, it's preserved in photos and not just memories…

  130. I like you both 🙂

    I love photography for many reasons… it lets me be creative, it makes me and others happy by freezing a moment in time. You can look back at a picture and remember so many things about that time period.

  131. I am a fan of both pages. I love photography because it make memories so vivid and brings back all the details and feelings associated with.

  132. I "like" CM on FB (of course)

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  133. I like you both! Photography is my life….nothing like capturing a moment forever! I have an aneurism when I don't have my camera and it's a "kodak" moment.

  134. Starla Wideman

    Already a CM fan but now a Tamron fan as well! YAY! Should've done that a long time ago anyway! LOL

    Photography is my way of holding onto those memories that can fade so quickly from my mind. If it weren't for pictures I would forget so much. I love showing my kids things from their past and I love capturing memories for my clients as well. I love seeing the smiles on their faces when they see their images. I love seeing my kids laugh at themselves when they were younger…better yet…laughing at old photos of me or my husband. Where would the world be without photos?! I'm so blessed to be able to share this love I have for photography with the people in my life that I love the most.

  135. I like Clickin Moms and Tamron!

    I Love photography because its a beautiful way to create art without having to clean up paint!

    I like both Clickin Moms and Tamron. What I love about photography?!?? I love being able to capture special moments and being able to not only preserve them to savor but to be able to share those moments with those who aren't able to be there!

  143. Fan!!

    I love a photograph that shows off who a person is. If they're shy, confident, hyper crazy fun, whatever their personality. It's a peek at that person and who they are and how they live their lives.

  144. Melissa Kimsey

    I have "liked" ClickinMoms FB page for a while now!

    I just "liked" Tamron’s FB page!

    Photography is a way to capture memories that you can keep forever.

  145. I have liked both. Let me win, Let me win, Let me win. LOL

    What I like about photography is that it is timeless. It is like a time capsule that we hang all around us (or put in shoe boxes all around us) I can find the beauty or the emotion in some thing and capture it forever. Photography is my true love.

  146. miriam jackson

    I love photography as i love to see things from different perspectives.. especially Macro botanicals.

    I 'like' em both on FB too!!

  147. Ashley McMahon

    Liked both you and tamron.

    Photography is so emotional.. it's all about capturing that one moment, that one precious moment. It's like seeing a glimpse into your own heart.

    Unfortunately, my heart has been broken for the last week because I lost a hard drive full of the first 18 months of my daughters life- including the videos of us together in-country during her adoption process.

  148. Meichelle Taylor

    "Like both"

    I am a military wife, and photography gives me the chance to share the joys of my life with family members. I can capture it all through a camera… births, precious 1st moments, birthdays, vacations, and everything in-between.

  149. I LIKE both Clikin' Moms and Tamron.

    What I love about photography is giving the gift of history to family and friends like my family did for me. Oh and of course happy clients when they see their pictures.

  150. I liked both pages. I LOVE photography because it captures history….it preserves memories.

  151. Great give-away! What I love about photography – Light, I just love capturing the light and new and different ways and how amazing light is and how it can set the tone and emotion to a scene.

  156. Melissa Gibson

    How generous of Tamron!!

    What do I love about photography? It's something to leave my kids. A way for them to see their life through my eyes.

  157. I am a fan of both ClickinMoms and Tamron. There is so much about photography that I love…..the feel of the camera in my hands, the click sound as I snap the picture and thrill I get as my heart begins to beat faster as I load my photo's onto my Mac. I can get creative with them in PSE if I wish to, or just sort through them re-live all the memories that they hold. And just think I get to do it all again tomorrow!!

  158. Liked the FB Tamaron page

  160. Like'd both! 🙂

    Photography is a huge creative outlet for me. Before I had my kids I painted and sketched – now I feel like I never have time to complete anything that extensive, photography helps me "be me" and get the creative juices flowing – THAT keeps me sane, and helps me feel more like myself. I don't know what I'd do without it!

  161. I did it!

    Photography for me is showing someone an image I have taken of them and having them see the very best of themselves.

  162. OH MERCY…i would love to win this lens! i love photography because i love capturing our everyday life and documenting our memories! it's important to me that our kids be able to look back at all the fun we have together!

    i'm a member of CM and i'm a fb fan, too!

    i also just went and "like" tameron on fb!

    SO EXCITING! 🙂

  163. I like you both!

    I love photography because you are capturing moments. I love the challenge of actually getting the essence of the moment captured in one shot that will live on long after the moment is gone.

  164. OOH, love this. I am a liker of both your pages. I love photography because it allows me to capture the light in people. As they are..their true beauty, right now. Thanks for hosting this!!

  165. Laurie LeBlanc

    I love photography because it is a wonderful way to capture life! Wether it be nature, my kids, family etc…you will never get those times back and having a picture of it is a great way of always being able to remember. Especially when i am old and want my children to show my grandchildren pictures of themselves when they were younger. I know i always love to go back to look at my pictures of when i was a child and show my sons.

  168. I already like CM on FB, and I like Tamron as well!!!

    I am obsessed about photography because it allows me to tell a story MY way! And, who doesn't love a good story…

  170. Tiffany Carlton

    Forgot to say, I love Photography because I can be creative and that is my outlet. I love seeing what I can capture through the lense.

  171. Taking pictures is all about the memories. There are times that I forget about something that happened but looking at a picture I have taken and you are back to that time, that place and with those people.

    I liked both pages on facebook and put it on my face book.

  172. Dawn Connelly

    "Liked" Tamron (of course already had you guys). What do I love about photography?

  173. I am a fan of both pages..What a great giveaway from Tamron! What does photography mean to me? It means being able to capture every single second of my four children's lives.

  186. I already "like", actually LOVE CM and have also "liked" Tamron. What I love about photography is capturing the moment and personality of the subject. And I have just a true appreciation for the beauty that can be looked back on and enjoyed through a photo.

  194. CM and Tamron – Liked!! 🙂

    What do I love about photography?

    I love the ability to freeze a once in a lifetime moment forever. With photography I'm able to capture something we all strive for and cherish – Time. I love being able to do that, whether it's nature or people. All those moments are ones you can't get back and photos keep them vibrant and keep our memories real and alive. I always think of how happy I was to have taken photos of my Dad before he passed away, because I saved little bits of him, to keep me going once he was gone and help keep him and his memory Alive. To me, that's a beautiful thing and that's what photography does and why I love it. 🙂

  195. Nicole Sansone

    "liked" CM and Tamron on Facebook.

    I have had an interest in photography for a long time but my kids have really brought out my interest more. I was also fortunate to win a photo contest w/ a point and shoot once where the prize was a $1000 Amex GC. I bought my first DSLR w/ it and my life has changed ever since! It's amazing and I'm grateful~

  196. I already like you guys & liked Tamrom.

    I love capturing those moments of little ones that you can look back on and remember their curly strands of hair, tiny little piggies, sweet gummy smiles. Moments you will look back on and cherish when they are big and grown.

  197. Liked both pages!! I truly believe photography healed my soul after the death of my brothers. Thanks for the giveaway!!

  198. Destiny Lewis

    I have "liked" both pages <3

    What do I NOT love about Photgraphy? I get to capture the essence of a child, a family, a creature and save that image for eternity for generations to see and enjoy. I love being the eye that sees people and things for who they really are and the beauty they hold. It is an honor to be able to enter a part of their lives in that way. <3 Thank you so much for this opportunity! This is a great lens from a wonderful company! Good Luck everyone! 😉

  199. Rachel Healey

    AWESOME giveaway!!! I already liked you on FB, just liked Tamron as well!!!! What I love about photography is being able to capture a moment in a way that I see it- and especially candid moments- without photography, moments that would not be captured:)

  200. I liked both sites :)!

    I love that photography is able to capture a moment in time and capture it beautifully. I am so thankful I don't have to rely on my own mind to keep track of the amazing things that my photography does!

    Awesome contest by the way!!

  201. Photography is a way to escape for me. It's fun and I love it.

    I liked the tameron facebook page and i already liked the clickinmoms facebookpage. Thanks for a chance to win.

  202. I didn't need to like you on FB because I already did that a long time ago :-), but I did hit like on the Tamron FB page.

    One of the (many) things I love about photography is the ability to see the world through other people's eyes. I get to travel to places I've never been before and see things that I may never otherwise see. I also LOVE the thrill of a great capture. It gets my heart racing! Thanks for the contest.

  203. I liked both pages.

    What I love about photography is capturing those real life moments in a snap and having those priceless images for a lifetime!

  209. I liked both sites and would LOVE that lens 🙂

    Photography means I get to create my ideas, I get to create art. I just received the nicest complement today. Someone said your photography is more then a picture, it is art and that is what it is to me. Do you have a couple hours? I can tell you what else it means to me …

  210. Already "like" Clickin Moms and just "liked" Tamrom. I love that you can capture and archive your special loved ones on an image.

  211. Both sites are fabulous. Photography is life. Photography is art. Photography is the unique, the everyday, the little things and the big things. Photography is the medium that allows us to share. All of these things, I love.

  212. I'm already a fan of yours, and just 'Liked' Tameron. I've been eyeballing that 18-270 lens for awhile! Photography is a way for me to capture our special moments as beautifully as I see them. Love it!!

    oops you can delete my previous, I forgot to say what I loved: I love giving my clients photos that they cherish 🙂 and of course I love to see them on their walls, coffee tables and all over their blogs!

  220. Photos are my memories. I started taking pictures with an Instamatic in elementary school. They are some of my most treasured photos. I use my camera everyday, sometimes to capture my kids' smiles, record some of my artwork, or grab the light dancing across the rye field.

  221. I liked both pages, and photography is the ONLY thing I do in my *spare* time besides sleep 🙂 It's the only thing that keeps this stay at home mom from going crazy!

  224. I liked both!

    I love photography because it so fun to capture moments as they happen, especially with a wild 3 year old! I also love the way a photo can be transformed into a beautiful work of art.

  225. Carina Spencer

    I like both on FB. The most values thing photography has taught me is a new perspective can change so much. I used to have pretty bad seasonal depression. Taking on photography as a hobby showed me there is so much beauty hidden in all the things I thought I hated about the winter darkness.

  226. I like both on facebook!

    What I love about photography is taking pictures of my precious children. I love capturing their dirty hands, gorgeous eyelashes, and their toothless grin! They grow so quickly that I need to capture every moment….and that is what I love about photography.

  227. Christine Lin

    PICK ME! PICK ME! I just "Liked" Tamron on their FB page.

    I'm a medical device marketing professional by day who is passionate about all things photography. I've never had any formal photography "training" and most of my pics are of my 2 kiddos. I would LOVE to win this lens!!

    For me, photography is my outlet. I love it because it captures the innocence of children, the emotions behind tender moments. Photos capture what I fail to express with words.

    PICK ME! 🙂

  228. I love photography because it can capture a moment in time and freeze it for future generations to enjoy.

  229. elizabeth pellette

    A great giveaway for sure.. I went and Liked both as well.. what I love about photography. for me its taking a photo of someone particularly someone who might not be all that self confident.. who right out of the gate will tell me.. I look horrible in pictures.. and take some photos for them and have them look at them even on the back of the camera and have them go OMG WOW.. I actually look pretty good and their whole face lights up and their whole attitude changes and in that moment or session time they feel really good about themselves.. that to me is the most rewarding part of photography.. making people feel good about themselves.

  230. Manuela Busack

    I shared the giveaway on my facebook page here: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1000003815
    I love photography! To capture feelings within an image, save a treasured moment in time and to give an everlasting memory for all to share. Memories are sometimes a little faded in old age and just a look of a moment or a place brings all those memories flooding back.

  231. I "Like" Clickin' Mom's on Facebook.

    I "Like" Tamron on Facebook.

    I love photography because capturing beauty in the world is important to me….and also my family. 🙂

  232. I am a "Liker" of both pages 🙂

    I love that photography is the ability to capture a single moment in time and create an everlasting memory. Our babies grow to fast and those moments slip away from us, there is nothing more heart warning than looking at their tiny innocent lives captured forever on film(…well, hard drive/disc/print, etc.)

  233. Liked both pages and I love photography because I love capturing the memories especially of my 3 kids. I know theyll cherish them when theyre older too.

  234. I already 'like' Clickin' Moms, and I've 'liked' Tamron's page..(not sure how I missed that before, since I <3 Tamron!!!)

    What do I love about photography? It's finally given me my 'voice'. I am not good at sports, I am not talented in art, or singing, or blessed with good social skills…but I have finally found something that expresses me….and captures moments for others to remember forever.

  235. I love taking picture of my daughter. Each day she grows and learns something new and each stage is my favorite for different reasons.

  236. liked you both on FB. There are so many things to love about photography. The memories of my grandpa (who died when I was 11) have faded from my memory. I am so thankful that I have pictures to remember him by. My grandmother died when my oldest daughter was 9 months old and I cherish the pictures I took of the two of them together a week before she died.

  237. I 'liked' both ClickinMoms and Tamron on FB. My favorite thing about photography is capturing a moment. A special moment and memory the family can cherish forever.

  238. What an awesome giveaway! I love photography because every photograph displays a moment in history! You can always look back at that moment in time and reflect on everything going on in the photo.

  239. I liked both pages!

    For me, photography is something that is just mine. I don't have to share it with my husband or kids. It is a way for me to express myself and be creative.

  240. I already "liked" Clickin Moms and now I "like" Tamron. I love photography because it allows me to capture moments in my family's life that I want to remember forever.

  241. I already "like" Clickin Moms and just added a 'like' to Tamron's FB page. The part I love about photography is the ability to catch a split second facial expression in my child, friends, and family. Plus, I'll always be learning new ways to become a better photographer.

  242. Like x2!

    I love capturing photos of my little boy, because every time I turn around he has changed and grown.

  243. My very first lens was a Tamron! I fell in love with photography when I held my very first Kodak 110 Film camera. Yikes, that dates me a bit… It gives me a creative way to express myself and capture one of a kind moments in time.

    I love Tamron & ClickinMoms!

  244. I already 'like' Clickin Moms and just added a 'like' to Tamron's FB page. The thing I love about photography is the ability to catch a split second facial expression on my child, friends, and family. Those memories I can hang onto forever!

  245. liked and liked!

    what I love about photography is that it is a story-telling medium even though it's not a series of words or moving images/videos. and the story is unique to the person looking at the picture! happy or sad? chaotic or calm? it all depends on where we are in life, our moods, our collective experiences, etc…

  246. I love photography for the sheer ability it has to document life and beauty.

    I have liked both pages and LOVE Tamron lenses.

  247. What an awesome giveaway! I love photography because it captures a moment in time forever.

  249. Done and Done!

    Love that photography is not only my creative outlet after finishing up a day as an ER nurse, but that it has also given me a way to meet others (photographers/customers)! I love being able to capture moments for persons who would usually only have pictures of everyone else and not themsleves with everyone else!

    Would LOVE LOVE LOVE to win this lens as it is the exact one I was just looking into saving up my pennies to purchase! Thanks, and good luck everyone!

  250. I just liked both "Clickin Moms" and the "Tamron" pages. To tell the truth I didn't know Clickin Moms existed until I saw the link posted on facebook. Just the kind of site I was looking for. Excited about this giveaway and can't wait to do more exploring on this website!

  251. I liked both FB pages.

    Photography means a lot to me in my life. Recently, I've been looking back on my P365 pictures of my baby's first year (I guess she's not much of a baby anymore!). And I'm amazed at how much I remember through those photographs!!

  252. I liked but wanted to LOVE…

    I love photography, because like a song does with sound photography does with vision…it brings back a rush of memories, sounds, smells and emotions from a given moment of time.

  253. I liked both pages. I love photography because it captures memories….and there is ALWAYS something new to learn!!!

  254. I already liked Clickinmoms, now I like Tamron too. I love to be able to freeze a moment in time. People change and kids grow up, the little things can be so quickly forgotten. But photos trigger memories of the little things, expressions kids once made or quirky things they did.

  255. I 'like' both!

    I have a passion for photography because it is the opportunity to catch those candid moments that happen in life and we wish we could remember always. Like how my kids look when they are asleep, or how excited they get to see family members! Love it!

    – gillian

  256. I clicked like for Tamron on FB, and already had like clicked for CM! What an amazing opportunity! I love photography because it gives me a chance to express who I am and be who I want to be! 🙂

  257. I "liked" ClickinMoms and Tamron on Facebook! I love photography because it gets me out of my own head and allows me to see the world as my subject sees it. I especially love photographing children and seeing and reflecting their sense of wonder.

  258. I liked both pages! My favorite thing to do with photography is to shoot sports action photos of the kids here in my little town of Grandview Heights in Ohio. Particularly soccer which my twin boys are wonderful at!

  259. Stephanie Raye

    Well, I didn't have to go like Click in moms because I already liked it or should I say LOVE it. I went and like Tamaron.

    What do I LOVE about photography….Caputuring the priceless memories!

  260. Shawn Wofford

    Like x2. I love taking pictures of kids of all ages. It seems that the High School are pretty fun right now probably since that is my kids' ages!

  261. I already "liked" you but I just "liked" Tameron too.

    I love how I can catch a moment in time with my family, and save it forever, especially the candid everyday photos.

  262. I liked them both on facebook. What I LOVE about photography is that is forces me to "see" everything in the present moment. Beacuse of my photography, I look at the world differently.

  263. I liked both pages!!! This is such an awesome giveaway.

    I like photography because it gets me to express my creative side. It preserves the memories in the picture at that moment in time!

  264. What a fantastic give away! I was already a like member of clickinmoms and now have liked Tamrons FB page. Photography to me is the ability to capture a moment as I see that will allow my children to one day see life through my eyes.

  265. I more than *like* CM & Tamron – wish there was a *LOVE* button 🙂 And I too love that photography captures a moment in time and how amazing it feels when I'm able to give the gift of a beautifully framed moment in time to family and friends. Maybe I should start photographing their reactions when they open up said gifts – those are always priceless moments, too!

  266. I liked both on FB. I love photography because it captures memories. I grew up in a family where everyone carried a camera all the time and got so tired of it.. but here I am with my camera everywhere I go, constantly torturing my kids with it! 🙂

  267. I liked tamron and already like cm! Great giveaway! I love capturing the moments I will someday forget, that is why I love photography!

  268. I'm a fan of both 🙂

    I love being able to capture a little piece of time forever so we never forget.

  273. SHARED on FB~

    Love photography, because it captures what I SEE, what I FEEL, and what I want to remember for that split second. You can not get that moment back, but can re-live it over and over because of a picture.

  274. Already liked you guys, and have liked tamron. It's hard to pinpoint one single thing that photography means to me but I guess if I had to choose one thing specifically it would be emotion, love the way a great image makes you feel and it isn't necessarily technical perfection but more on an emotional level.

  275. Liked both on facebook. I love seeing the photos that my wife takes with her awesome Canon DSLR.

  276. Very generous of Tamaron! I love photography as it is my way of documenting family love. Hopefully, one day my kids will appreciate all the times I have made them smile. 🙂

  277. I 'liked' both pages!

    I am new to photography, but even all the not-so-great photos I took of my son when he was younger mean the world to me. They help me remember and connect with that time again. Just the thought of capturing one moment in time, and having that one moment with you forever in the form of a photograph is very reassuring somehow to me.

  278. Liked! I love photography because it gives the artist in me a creative outlet. And I get to capture the moments in life that are precious to me.

  279. Liked both pages on Facebook! Great giveaway 🙂

    I enjoy lots of things about photogrpahy, but the one that currently fills up most of my time is exploring nature, exploring God's creations and sharing them with my friends, from icicles to raindrops to birds to trees (or individual leaves 🙂 to sunsets and moon shots. Can entertain myself for hours 🙂

  280. I have 3 beautiful kids- our youngest is 4 and she has Down Syndrome. She is the most awesome kid and I love taking pictures of her! She is so fun!

  281. jessica Hollingswort

    I'm a FB fan of both! Yay! I love photography for allowing me to capture the everyday moments with my family, with a picture I'm able to recapture all the emotion that the moment has to offer.

  282. I like clickinmoms and Tamron.

    I would have to say that photography means always capturing, never forgetting.

  283. I like Clickin' Moms and I just "liked" Tamron's site too! Photography is my passion. Nature photography has been my obsession for the past 10+ years, and just over a year ago I also began to learn portrait photography, and am very excited to continue to learn more and more about that as I photograph my toddler daughter. I don't know what I'd do without a camera; there is so much beauty and wonder out there to capture!

  284. Clickinmoms I've "Liked" you for awhile now.

    Tamron now has my "Like" also, don't know why this has taken me so long, I have Tamron lens.

    Photography to me: Is getting to share my creative expressions the way I see it… since we all view images and setting differently this is a Great way to show your side off.

  285. I am a fan of ClickinMoms and Tamron on Facebook. I would love to win this because I take daily pictures of my two little ones for our blog. Anyway to get better pictures is of interest to me. I love your examples of the differences with the lens! Thank you for that!

  286. Barbara Syfacunda

    I like both :))

    Photography is a big part of my life, I started to take pictures long before digital, but I truly enjoy photograpy since I have a digital SLR…to be able to capture moments in life, even those everyday moments, they may not be special to me now…but in years to come I will treasure every single picture and memory.

  287. I liked both pages!!! Love them both and don't know how I wasn't a fan already!

    To me photography is a memory that can be felt well after the photograph has been taken. A memory is in our heart and mind but once captured with the lens; proof that that memory was real and did happen! I am so flabbergasted at how fast time goes by especially when I realize how quickly my children are growing and photography is my way of coping with letting them get older. I can capture moments and memories with my camera and years, months, weeks or even days later I can revisit that photograph and experience the same feelings that I felt the day I snapped my shutter button. Photography is more than photographs; it's emotions.

  288. like both…photography is something you can document of all the special events and take it to the next level of creativity in your own eye.

  289. What i love about photography.. Is that it tells a story & i love that the story it tells is unique to the person behind the camera.. It's amazing how a picture can move you & bring out emotions.. I love it and i'll never stop loving it.

  290. I liked BOTH pages ! I love photography cause it gives me away to express myself and be able to capture moments of people and things that otherwise would slip away.

  291. Melissa van der Leek

    Already "liked" Clickin Moms, now "liked" Tamron!

    I love photography for the freedom it gives to express my creativity. Not one shot will ever be the same, and the endless possibilities with post-processing to make my images all my own. Coming out with something great is a wonderful feeling!

  292. kiersten camacho

    I liked both pages on FB. Photography is such a creative outlet for me and I love being able to document special moments in people's lives!

  293. Kacey Arnold (SilvAh

    I'm fans of both pages 🙂 The thing I love about photography is that I can capture a stage/look/moment and look back at it… I have a horrible memory, so my pictures mean a lot to me.

    (please disregard my last two posts, I'm nursing and typing one handed in the dark- so sorry!)

  294. Amy Kosmalski

    FB like…click.

  300. I have always liked CM's facebook page, and now I like Tamron's too! I love photography because it works two sides of me: my technical/geeky side gets to shine, and my creative/artsy side is s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d!

  301. Obviously already like CM on FB! Liked Tamron as well! Love photography because of the emotion that it evokes…the wonderful feeling inside when you see a photo that you cannot turn your eyes from!

    Also, I forgot to mention in my original entry what I love about photography & what it means to me.

    I love capturing moments, plain and simple. Being able to look back a year or two (and more), and remember that moment, it's just priceless.

    As a mom, that means the world to me. I just love looking back and being able to see my daughter grow from newborn to toddler in all the pictures I've taken. 🙂

  321. Was already a fan of you…went and "liked" Tamron…

  340. Capturing life – that's what I love about photography. How I can look at a picture and it takes me back to that moment that I would have otherwise forgotten. That expression on your little one's face, how exactly innocent their smile was, etc. It touches my heart!

  341. I like both pages. There are so many things that I love about photography that it is hard to narrow them down.

  361. I have "liked" both sites on FB. I have been a huge fan of photography for years, since I got my first camera – a good ol 110 when I was about 7 or 8 years old. I got my first real 35mm in jr. high when I joined the yearbook staff, and haven't put a camera down since. Over the past 2 years, I have spent a lot of time learning new techniches, editing, and all types of photography. It is my passion.

The reason I love photography is because it freezes a moment in time for you to remember forever. It captures those simple subtle moments so they do not get passed by.

  367. I "liked" both pages! For me, photography is all about my boys. Years from now I know I'll be so grateful for the photos that capture their innocence, mischief and sweetness.

  368. *Looks around and sees only women on a mom blog….*

    Hopefully guys are allowed to participate? 😀

    Anyway, I love photography because, well, I just think it's fun being on this side of the camera. Being able to capture memories is really neat. Now that I'm taking a class on Digital Photography, it's really brought a whole new… feel and excitement to Photography. What's even more amazing is I've been shooting mostly in Manual mode! I've never been able to do that before!

    I have “liked” both sites on FB.

    I have always loved photography… its always been a hobby and passion for years. Its my get a way from my world of chaos. Its a way to step back and see things in a different light.

  370. Just liked CM's page (how have I not done this already?) and Tamron's page. I love everything about photography…capturing the moments, the creative outlet..the list goes on and on.

  371. aimee ferguson

    thanks so much for the chance to win!! i 'liked' both facebook pages 🙂 i love photography because of how it makes me feel – happy, fulfilled, creative, emotional, challenged, and hungry for more!

  372. Both facebook pages have been liked! I love photography because it captures a lifetime of memories for generations to come. I love looking back at old photos, how life used to be and how it has changed over time. I love documenting my son's life, from his birth to all of those milestones that I never want to forget. I love that his children, grandchildren, even great grandchildren will have the opportunity to look back and see what his life was like. To me, photography means cherished memories not just for a lifetime, but for many of them.

  373. posted to FB!!! We hope to win… Taking pictures helps me freeze my kiddo and allows me to always look for beauty in the world. Thanks for the chance!

  374. I liked everything:) What I love about photography is being able to capture memories (because mine is horrible) and getting people to look at things a little differently.

  375. Liked both of them of FB. Photography allows you to be a creative as you want to be. Sometimes I feel like I am 'just a mom.' I know that I am a great mom! But when I am able to take photos, I find that creative spark is still there. It is a great feeling. Besides, who better to take photos of their kids than one who loves to take them.

  376. I liked both and love photography more everyday to capture pure emotion and love in my photos everyday is an awesome feeling!

  377. I "like" Clickin moms and Tamron!<3

    I love that I can get lost in the world of photography, and show everyone what I see through my eyes. It's a whole new world when you're looking through a lens.

  378. Kendra Buckingham

    I live in a beautiful place with 5 beautiful children. I love to capture all this beauty with photography.

  379. Both are LOVED <3 My passion for photography derives from capturing moments in my life that I can look back upon through random, focused, and whole-hearted snapshots.

  380. Just liked ClickinMoms and Tamron! What I love most about photography is that when I capture a great image, I can look back years later at it and not only appreciate the beauty, but relive the emotion, the pain, the joy, the hope, and possiblity of that time of our lives, and revel at how far we've come since then.

  381. Already a fan of Clickin Moms and Tamron lenses on facebook. Photography is my passion. my joy, my sanity, my theraphy. Thank you so much for offering this awesome giveaway!!!

  382. I 'like' Clickin' Moms and Tamron!

    Photography has been my hobby for awhile now. My favorite subjects are my children. I love capturing memories of their childhood to treasure forever.

  383. Brandi Watkins

    I love photography because if it is captured a photo, then it doesn't need an author, publisher, or words to be read, instead it is its own story by the eyes of the one viewing it, and no two stories are alike.

  384. Liked both CM and Tamron on FB!

    I just love taking pictures! Of capturing a moment in a way that might not otherwise be seen!

  385. Brandi Watkins

    Already a fan of both-left your web address and info over on my facebook page-Eye Declare Photography and on my wesite-Eye Declare Photography!

  388. Just liked you and tameron's pages… I love photography because it captures the moments in life that I want to remember! Our lives are so busy now that the littlest, but most important things can slip out from right infront of us. With photography it pauses those moments and keeps them with us for our lifetime and our childrens and so on.

  389. I've liked clickin'm moms for a long time and now I like Tamron too. This lens looks perfect for my walk about street photography passion. Hope I win.

  390. I liked both pages! I love photography because it is an awesome way to preserve precious memories for a lifetime. I love how you can be creative and put your own touch/spin to the "normal" photo and make it really special. Oh my way to spread the word and get a 2nd chance to win. 😉 I would LOVE this lens.

  391. I liked both pages on Facebook. What I love about photography is the ability to capture a special moment. By one image, you can recall how you felt, what happened, what the significance was when your memory can fail you.

  392. Christal Houghtellin

    I like both on FB. Photography is for me a way to create something. I get so excited when I create something beautiful

  393. Thanks for this cool contest! I now like ClickinMoms and Tamron's facebook pages. I LOVE photography. Not only is it a way for me to freeze time and be creative, it helps pay my bills. =)

  394. Liked both pages, this lens looks awesome! I love that I can capture moments and revisit them later on.

  395. Sarah Overland

    The very reason that I started photography is because I have always been able to see things for more than what they are and have always had a camera in my hand from the moment I can remember. Despite this, I have only ever known how to take a photo rather than make one. This has frustrated me for many years and only now after some hard months of study, have I ‘made’ my first ever photograph! I have 'liked' clickin moms for ages and have just gone over to 'like' tamron too! honestly, how could you not!!

  396. I "liked" both – thanks for the awesome giveaway! I just love taking pictures – saving that moment for years to come.

  397. I have liked both tamron and clicking mom on facebook.

    I love taking pictures of my friends and family because every picker brings back memoriesof that moment we had together.

    I also love that with just a click I can remember simple moments in my life that I enjoyed in that moment.

  398. Denise Dewire

    Already like clickinmoms and just clicked the like button for Tamron.

    Photography for me freezes moments in time and helps preserves the memories of my family and friends. I love be able to go back to the pictures I've captured and re-fresh my memory and help relive that particular moment.

    I would love to win this lens! Such a great range and perfect for the "take-everywhere" lens!

  399. Have liked the Tamron page and have already liked CM's for a while. 🙂

    I love the feeling I get when I look at a photo of an event or a person– like I can have the moment and its feeling all over again.

  400. liked both on facebook,love photography as it can bring out the best or worse in a moment that can never be replaced

  401. I liked both on FB and am loving this giveaway – thanks! I love the artistic side of photography – capturing and creating a moment as artwork.

  404. Liked both CM and Tamron on FB!

    Thanks for the opportunity.

  405. Just found you guys via Photobook Girl and definitely LIKED you all on Facebook. Liked the Tamron page too. Would love to own one of their pieces of glass.

    Photography for me is a creative outlet that allows me to capture moments in our lives.

  406. Lauree Valverde

    I've liked both Clickinmoms and Tamron on FB. I've always loved photography, but love it more now that I can capture every expression on my children's faces as they grow. Sounds corny, but it's true.

  407. Photography is the perfect creative outlet for me. The ability to capture a moment and make a photo that people want to share is an added bonus.

    This Tamron lens would be a perfect upgrade. Good luck everybody!

  408. Carla Siler-Maddalen

    Last year as part of my wedding gift from my husband, he got me my very first DSLR (I grew using a cannon film SLR). As a newly wed it has been great to be able to document in photos all the first we are having!

    Plus now that I have my own gear I am going to start building my portfolio and hopefully will be able to start shooting second this summer.

  409. Bachi Frost (Rocco F

    liked both!…..i love photography because not only it has "freed" me in so many ways; but i have met so many wonderful, cool, generous, creative, people. Through photography I discovered another part of me that I did not know it was there…just waiting to come out…growing up i never thought of myself as creative..now i see the world in a whole new way and i loooooove it! So much to learn and do and see…and capture!

  410. Jennifer Trempe-Thom

    Oh, how I would love to win this lens! I love photographing my kiddos so that I can capture moments in time and always remember how darling they were at when they were little! I have liked Tamron and Clickinmoms on Facebook too! Thanks for sharing this deal!!

  411. I love photography because it shows the beauty of life we are given every day and the gift of memories it holds can be cherished for generations.

  412. My love of photgraphy began with my father. He bought me my first Canon several years ago so I could take quality pictures of my beautiful children. I love to take both black and white as well as color. They look great blown up hanging on my walls. For Christmas I was given a new Canon and have been wanting a better lens than the one it comes with. I'd like to kick it up a notch and really see what I can do with a better lens. Thank you so much for this giveaway. Very generous.

  413. I liked both pages. What I love about photography? It is such an awesome way to capture moments that could easily be forgotten throughout time. What would we do without cameras???

  414. Miranda Kissling

  415. janet fitzmayer

  422. I've 'liked' both pages!!

    Photography gives me the freedom to express my self on my own terms. There is no wrong or right, no black or white (so to speak). It's me, a lens and hopefully the most beautiful smile on the the other end.

  423. Of course I'm already a CM Facebook fan and I'm now a fan of Tamron. Photography means being able to capture those small, fleeting moments of my rapidly growing kids.

  424. I liked everyone on facebook!

    I really enjoy photography – the best thing that I love about it is what it's taught me as a person; to really see the beauty of life and how unique people are!

  425. Ashley Weiner

    I liked both pages!

    I love everything about capturing moments in photography. I love the reaction of clients when they see their pictures, thats what it is all about. I also like providing services to families who otherwise would not have been able to afford professional pictures, it is even more special to them. The best thing about it all is being chosen by your clients out of all the photographers out there, to capture their family/love/wedding…etc. It makes me feel important and special and in turn makes me want to do the best job I can for them! 🙂

  426. I liked both sites on facebook! I love photography because it allows me to capture a moment in time. When looking back on the pictures, i am flooded with memories of the "good times"!

  427. Ashley Pesata

    I love freezing a moment in time. My goal in each session is to capture the personality of the child so their parents can go back to that age years from now. I guess you could say I like my portraits to be little time machines!

  428. I posted about the giveaway, I love photography because it's fun to be able to capture a moment in time that is beautiful and keep it forever, to be able to give that to someone else? Even better!

  429. I liked both FB pages.

    I love my camera unfortunatley my son broke my lens today, so I'm totally in the need for a new one. My friend posted this on her FB page, so I was like ooh perfect!

    I have a Nikon D60, the reason I purchased ths camera was my children. I wanted a nice camera that I could put my heart into and learn all about to take beautiful photos of my children and capture those once in a lifetime moments.

  430. I love capture that moment in time, because you can't turn back time 🙂 I love being able to keep those pictures, edit them and change the colors.

  431. I LOVE photography because you can "save" special moments. And I love seeing old photos…hoping someday people will appreciate mine.

  432. I liked both. I love so many things about photography, capturing that moment, capturing silly memories, expressing my creativity, all of it!

  433. I "liked" Clickin Moms a long time ago. I "liked" Tamron recently.

    I have always loved getting lost in a photograph. That is exactly what photography is to me. Whether the photograph is 30 minutes or 30 years old it tells a story about a specific moment in time.

  434. I "liked" both pages. And I love photography … and the ability to capture a beautiful moment. My kids are growing fast, and I'm glad that I am taking the time to photograph our memories … soon they'll be all grown up but I'll have photos to remember these days.

  435. Liked both pages! What I love about photography is letting a teen see how beautiful they really are. And the times when I see that I've captured a little bit of magic. And the times that moms cry. And when grandma's thank me. And meeting nice families…..oh the list just goes on and on.

  436. Liked both pages! Even though it has already been said – a lot – I love being able to capture fleeting moments in time. Photos make memories tangible.

  437. Gosh, what do I not love about photography. It is so my new passion and I have to say that I am quite obsessed with it! I love capturing ture moments in life and having them to cherish forever! I added both ClickinMom's and Tamron to my Facebook page also. Thank you so much for the AWESOME giveaway and I hope you pick ME!!!! 🙂

    About photography, I've always loved to capture the moment and love trying to capture it just as I see it. Plus I love to look back and remember all the fun times and beautiful scenery that I've shared with my friends and family.

  439. What do I love most??? I love that photography gives me something that is mine and mine alone. As a SAHM, it is my escape. I don't know where I would be without it. 🙂 Probably insane, lol.

  440. Mandy Boungnasiri

    I liked both you and Tamron. 😉 What I love most about photography is being able to capture each and every moment, good and bad.

  442. Liked both pages. Love photography because every good photo tells a story and it archives many good memories.

  443. I liked both pages, and I love Tamron Lens! I enjoy photography so much. I love being able to capture those awesome moments of children when they are having fun, going out and shooting birds and other animals. It is so fun to be creative and see what I can come up with next 🙂

  444. I like Tamron and Clickin moms. I enjoy capturing everyday moments and being able to reminisce with friends and family.

  445. I'm a fan to you and tamron! Photography means cherishing moments for years to come! Being able to look back at moments that your memory fails to do!

  446. What do I love about photography?? wow… where to start – how about how precious moments and memories are captured forever! – how one glance in a photo can tell a whole story.

  447. Liked Clickin' Moms!

    Liked Tamron!

    I absolutely LOVE that I am capturing moments and memories in time when I push the button on my camera! It's my favorite passtime of all!

  448. "Like" both on FB!

    Photography is my hobby. I love capturing pictures of my family and freezing those moments in time. My camera goes with me every were I go. Never know when you will needed. It is exciting to me to get home and open that memory card on the computer to smile, laugh and sometimes cry. I love that emotion that a photo can create.

  449. "Liked" them both!

    Photography is my favorite hobby! I love learning and capturing those memories! Thanks CM for being an awesome resource and for the fab giveaways!! ♥

  450. I like both pages already! I have been wishing for this lens!

  451. rebecca keppel

    I like you guys and Tamron on FB. I love photography because it lets me keep a precious moment forever that I might otherwise forget.

  452. 'Liked' Tamron and already 'liked' you.

Thanks for the opportunity to win this awesome lens! 🙂

  453. Liked squared!

    I also like the clicking sound a camera makes! :o) It's addicting.

  454. I've always liked ClickinMoms

    Photography is freezing a moment in time. When I look back at my pictures years from now, I don't want to just remember the place and time, I want to remember the moment. Capturing the spirit is what photography means to me.

  455. I "liked" both CM and Tamron on FB!

    And what I love about photography? That it has given me the opportunity to capture life's precious moments.

    I love photography because it makes time stand still, captures wonderful memories and preserves them for years to come! 🙂

  459. I like both CM and Tamron on FB. What I love about photography is Keeping Memories Alive. A friend of mine lost her son in an automobile accident 3 years ago. She had very few photos of him to look at when he passed, so keeping memories alive for those that still have their loved ones, is very important to me because you never know when you could lose a child or any family member that is dear to you and having little or nothing to remember them by.

  460. I am a fan of both on fb!

    I love that photography makes me linger in the moment longer. It keeps me from allowing life to rush by without actually seeing it.

  470. Elizabeth Minemann

    I already 'liked' Clickinmoms and just finished liking Tamron! Photography is my artistic outlet… and it's a joy I can share with many people by photographing their families, children, bridal portraits, graduations, etc. It's the gift that keeps on giving!

    Photography: I think that it helps us to be more intentional in honoring relationships in our families… and also I enjoy the creative outlet

  501. I "liked" you both! I love photography for so many reasons…one being that it captures memories so they can be relived and remembered!

  502. Consider yourselves "liked"! I love photography because it makes me look at my life differently-with eyes wide open to the abundant blessings that I am given everyday that I might have missed otherwise.

  503. I have "liked" both Clickinmoms and Tamron on Facebook. What I love about photography is that you catch moments in time, can capture the true beauty of the moment and have it for years to look back on!

  504. I am already a fan of both the Tamron and CM facebook page.

    What I love about photography is…meeting new faces and enjoy seeing the repeat faces. Every person has their own unique structure and it is something new and fresh each session. Never a Dull moment. Love my Passion!!

  505. Catina Leonard

    I LIKED BOTH!~ I LOVE photography because it not only gives me a much needed creative outlet but I am CAPTURING LIFE. I am documenting history and everyday life with every click. I am leaving a LEGACY for my kids and my great great grandkids. It is in my BLOOD. My great grandma worked for a family doing sewing, laundry, odd jobs etc and she set money aside to purchase a camera…if it wasn't for that I would know NOTHING about her life or how they lived…I hope one day my great granddaughter will know and learn from me through my pictures and maybe see a glimmer of herself in me.

  506. Tamara Motschenbache

    I liked clickinmoms already, and I liked Tamron on Facebook tonight.

    I like photography because it gives me a chance to express myself artistically. In the way I shoot the pictures and the ways that I can edit it. I cannot draw or do anything with my hands. But I can take a picture.

  507. I liked both on facebook. I love photography because it allows you to capture precious memories forever. I love how I can look at a photo and I can feel the emotions of that moment again.

  508. Anne-Marie Pasoquen

    I "like" both CM & Tamron pages!

    Photography is for me, an expression of passion and artistry! I love the challenge it brings every time I pick up my camera to try different settings, different lenses, different subjects….

    Seeing the world from the extension of my eye through the eye of a lens is absolutely FUN-tastic!

  509. Shannon Wells

    I already LOVE Cm (but there's no button for that:)) so i went and "liked" Tamron 🙂

    Photography for me represents an exciting future and an amazing way to use my brain and see the world in a completely new way. So glad I found CM- the two go hand in hand for me!

  510. I liked both pages. I like photography because it captures memories that we might otherwise forget, giving us the ability to look back and bring those moments to life once again.

  511. Kristin Richardson

    Liked both Tamron and Clickin Moms on FB! What I love most about photography is that it allows me to be creative, and keep memories alive forever!

  512. I have liked both Facebook pages. I love photography because it allows me to document all aspects of my family's life for them to look back on and to share with future generations of our family.

  513. Chris Seidlitz

    I liked both sites. Photography is special to me because I love capturing "the moment" and all the memories that come back when I look at older pictures and the stories they hold.

  514. Like both pages on FB…Love photography and always have. Besides animals and wildlife,it's one of my deepest passions in life and I love photographing not only special moments,but everyday life. My camera goes everywhere with me!

  515. I like you & Tamron on facebook (Kay Cee) – my favorite thing about photography is capturing images of my daughter. 🙂

  516. Aimee Bosland

    I like clickinmoms and Tamron lenses. Photography gives me a way to capture moments and feelings that I can't convey through words.

  517. I like both pages, and I love photography because no matter who you are…the perfect photograph creates the perfect work of art that captures who you are for a lifetime! Not only that but for me photography helps me appreciate some of the over looked things in life that most people do not notice.

  518. OK, I a liker of both! I love photography because it captures memories for my family and for the creative outlet it gives me!

  519. "Liked" both pages on facebook! Tamron was the first lens I ever owned, with my D80. As cliche as it is, photgraphy to me means beuing able to capture the special everyday moments, in a beautiful storytelling way. I forget so much of mny children's childhood – it goes too fast! Photography is helping me save beautiful memories 🙂

    Thanks for the chance to win a new lens!

  520. I liked you both =) I love photography because it allows me to be creative and bless others with my work!

  521. I'm already a "liker" for CM, "liked" Tamron too!

    I love photographing all the moments in people's lives. From the small, tiny moments, to the big moments, and everything in between. I love capturing what life is all about. Each day, I feel a tugging at my heart that says "go out and capture something beautiful today."…and so I do.

  522. I went to facebook for Tamron and already did a long time ago for Clickin Moms. You are one of my favourites. Photography is a way to stop time with my children. It lets me relive the moments over and over again;)

  523. I am already a fan of CM on FB but also liked Tamron on FB. I love photography because I love being able to capture memories.

  524. Jodi Campbell

    I'm a "liker" of both CM and Tamron. The thing I love about photography is being able to literally hold time in your hands, you take a photo and are able to save that moment in time. As years and time goes by a photgraph remains from the time it was taken.

  525. Megan Edwards

    I have liked both your page, Tamron's page AND posted a link to the giveaway on my status! Photography to me: I began in photography after working a very awful, stressful, horrible job. Photography was — and still is — my therapy and it soothes my soul. There's nothing like escaping behind the camera and capturing moments that many forget within minutes-yet captured on film, that memory lasts forever. How can you NOT love that?!

  526. Tavia McGrath

    I've liked both CM and Tamron. Photography means the world to me. I can express myself and it's my art. I feel like I'm missing an appendage when I don't have my camera with me, and I can ALWAYS find something to take a picture of!

  527. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and to me being a beholder is not a passive event but an active pursuit.

    I seek, analyze, and pick through life to find little bits of this world's beauty on levels both physical and spiritual.

    My photography and digital artwork are inspired by things that tickle my aesthetics and spark my emotions. I shoot everything from portraiture, still life, nature, fashion, "real" life and everything else in between. I strive to find things that remind us of what is beautiful about this life (on many levels, not necessarily only aesthetically speaking) and capture it on camera.

  528. I "liked" both CM and Tamron. I am a Quilter and photography has become another outlet of creativity. And with 3 small grandchildren I am shooting shots all the time.

  529. I have liked both ClickinMoms and Tamaron's facebook pages!

    Photography is my passion, and I am trying to start my own business. I love the feeling when clients see my photos and are frozen in time, leaving their crazy busy lives for a split second to take in the beauty of my work. At this time, I can tell how much they appreciate me, and I know that they will be looking at these images I have taken for years to come. This makes me happy to be their photographer.

  530. Heidi Maranell

    Liked both on FB! I love photography because you can capture the real things of everyday life!

  531. I liked both pages on Facebook. What's not to love about photography? I love the challenge of creating a unique image that stirs up emotions in people, and capturing just the right moments at just the right time is an amazing feeling. I love taking a photograph of someone and hearing someone else say, you really captured who that person was. It doesn't get better than that!

  532. Tanya Smalling

    I have liked bot Clickinmoms and Tamron and Facebook! I love photography because my son is growing so fast and it is a way to go back into time and cherish the memories of his childhood.

  533. What a great site. I liked clickinmoms on fb and tamron. My favorite part about photography is capturing moments that I will have forever. I love the feeling of getting that perfect picture and then being able to share it with others.

  534. Kaylee Dubois

    I love photography, but I am just starting out. I am excited to start my new venture. Photography gives me the ability to photograph what I love and capturing memories one step at a time.

  535. Wendy Rakvica

    I "liked" Tamron and Clickinmoms. I love Photography because my camera is like my 3rd eye. It can capture the most amazing, precious, moments that you want to see over and over. By shooting them with the camera you freeze that moment and can cherish it forever. Its not just a memory 🙂

  536. I clicked "Like"! I love photography because it allows me to "see" things in a way I normally would not have seen it!

  537. I love photography, love capturing the special moments for my family. I "liked" Tamron & Clickinmoms and would LOVE the new lens.

  538. I have liked both sites.

    I like preserving memories and freezing moments of time with photography.

  539. Rebecca Carwardine

    I've Like'd on facebook.

    Photography allows me to see the world in a different way, and capture the memories that are made each day.

    Thanks a lot

  540. I 'liked' both pages!!! I love that photography helps remind me of little moments I would otherwise forget. I look back at my children's faces and cannot believe they were ever that little!!!

  541. I liked both Clickinmoms and Tamron on Facebook! I love photography but would love to win this for my sister, an aspiring photographer!!

  542. This is awesome, I've liked the pages, and am looking forward to hearing who wins.

    I <3 photography because it's a way to express myself as well as capture others memories and my own for my kids and future generations.

  543. I liked both pages. I must say I love getting that perfect shot! There is nothing more fabulous than having a happy parent at the end of the day because I was able to capture their child in memories they will cherish forever!!

    Photography is my passion!

  544. I love clickinmoms! I get great ideas and advice every time I visit the site. I've heard great things about Tamron lenses too! Would love to own one! I love photography because it tells a story. I love capturing moments because moments don't last but memories do!

  545. I've "liked" on both sites.

    I love photography because it allows me to capture the everyday moments of my children's lives. There's nothing like getting a shot of a memorable candid moment.

  546. I 'like' clickin moms and tamron!! Nice giveaway! My favorite thing about photography would be that it picks up where words leave off. It remembers. I have a fear of forgetting. So, pictures make me remember the aging skin of my grandfathers face, my sons infectious smile and my nephews stunning eyes.

  547. I like CM & Tamron, who doesn't?

    Photography is catching that moment that only last for a second but you recall for a lifetime.

  548. I liked both pages!! Thank you for such a terrific giveaway!!

    I love photography because it helps capture all the special moments of my children's lives!!

  549. <3 clickinmoms and Tamron. I love photography because it makes me see everything so differently…and I have met so many amazing people and new friends through photography.

  550. Sandy Martinez

    I Like both of your FB pages!

    Photography is my way of telling a story in my scrapbooks and on my blog. I love to share the love and emotion in everyday events as well as special moments that will be forever remembered.

    Thanks for this fun give away!

  551. katie hutchison

    I love photography. I love to capture the beauty that surrounds me in new and beautiful ways.

  552. I "liked" both clickinmoms and Tamron.

    I love everything about photography. Two of my all-time favorite quotes are "We Don't Remember Days, We Remember Moments" and "Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things." this is exactly how I feel about photography… it captures those little moments that we reflect back on and realize that this is what life is all about! 🙂

  553. Like both pages! I love photography for capturing the memories to pass down to my son and hopefully more children in the future.

  554. I like both!! My favorite part of photography is getting the opportunity to share in so many special moments with families.

  555. I have liked both sites. :o)

    Photography to me is like breathing. Everything I see I "picture" as an image. What does that image say to me? How does it make me feel. Something as simple as a Dad picking up a toddler can be a heart-string plucking moment when captured in a way that makes the rest of the world dissapear, all that exists is father, child and their love for each other.

  556. I liked both pages!! 🙂 I love every aspect of photography. I love being able to look through a lens and capture what most people don't see and make art.

  557. Photography is catching just a glimpse of a special memory in life and having that memory to hold on to forever.

  558. Fans of both! What I love about photography is being able to freeze time. Children can stay newborns forever. We can remember the times our kids danced in their too-fluffy tutus, climbed to the top of the fridge, and hugged their baby sister. The glances that only last a second, are captured forever.

  559. Kristen Scarbrough

    I 'like' clickin moms and tamron on fb! The thing I love most about photography is capturing REAL life. I love candid images of my son just being himself!

  560. I like yall and tamron on facebook! This looks like a great lens for almost any shoot. I bet it would be great for a wedding!

  561. I like CM and Tamron lenses– and now, I like them both on fb, too! I love photography because it enables me to capture a The Moment in the midst of the Everyday… and save it for a lifetime!!

  562. Sammee Pearson

    Huge fan of Clickin Moms and now Tamron. What do I love about photography…..for one brief moment as the photographer, I get to capture pure joy, pure love, pure pain, pure sadness. The images are unadulterated, editing is secondary, what I capture is real. No matter what that is life, in that moment and it's a gift that I am thankful for everyday:).

  563. Maria Brea-Spahn

    So, what do I love about photography? Now-a-days, I consider my camera a tangible extension of my soul. I seldom go anywhere without it. Photography allows me to soak up and enjoy the magic in every experience, be it mine, my daughter's, or my clients'… Seeing the world through my lens has awakened passion for living in the moment and for attending to the seemingly insignificant changes that go on around me. I giggle as the fog is tickled when the sun rises and marvel at the almost-ceremonial manner in which the clouds wave their final colorful good-bye as IT sets. That is, my beginnings, middles, and ends are THAT much more memorable with photography in my life.

  564. Love this giveaway and fan of both pages on fb!

    I love photography because it allows me to tell a story and express myself behind the lens. A picture really is worth a thousand words!!

    Thanks again!!

  565. I liked both pages on FB. I love photography because of the memory captured. The photos remind me what I saw and how I felt at that moment in time.

  566. Debbie Patterson

    I love photography because it allows me the chance to have a glimpse into someones life with their horse and I can provide them with a cherished momment in time that will last forever.

  567. I already like Tamron & Clickin Moms! What a wonderful giveaway!!

    I love photography because it helps me live more in the moment. You have to be in the present to capture a photograph. I also love having a memento of the life I lead.

  568. Jen Comins Photograp

    I've liked you both (you for some time now…Tamron is a new 'like' for me though!)

    I grew up with a Dad who was crazy about photographs. There's nothing more precious to me than looking back at old photos of us growing up. Those afternoons of looking back on old photos are days I can look forward to with my own boys someday!

  569. Kaitlin farrow

    Ive been wanting to get a new lens. I love being able to capture a moment in time to remember forever.

  570. i "liked" both pages. Photography means that I can capture those special moments that I hold dear to my heart.

  571. There! "Liked" you both on FB. 🙂 Very exciting! I think what I like best about photography is being able to catch an entire story in just one glimpse … and hopefully someday soon, I'll be able to catch my child's stories with a fab lens!

  572. I LOVE Clickin Moms…have "liked" you all now for over a year! Just did a "like" for Tamron. I'm a new user of a new Rebel 500D…and I love it! I'm actively photographing as part of Project Life and the 365 project. I'm an educator/blogger/Mom/Wife/Band member. What a wonderful opportunity to have a chance to win this awesome lens. Thanks Bunches! 🙂

  573. Candice Gardner

    I liked Tamron and am a CM member. Currently what I love about photography is learning how to take beautiful photographs of my family. I'm just beginning to learn and I'm loving every minute!! I hope one day to call myself a professional photographer 🙂

  574. Danielle Krohn

    Love photography! Getting a new 5DMark2 any day so this would be the perfect addition! Love you both!

  575. Christy Tucker

    I have "Liked" both pages for a while now!!

    It is really hard to just jot down one or two reason I absolutely adore photography, because photography has become a way of life for me. It has transformed how I view the world, and the lovely people ion it. I am constantly looking at things in ways of, "how could I capture this" to share it with the world.

    Another reason I adore photography is because I have the ability to document love, with my camera. Whether I am photographing a child's innocent laugh and smile, or how his/her parent cradle him/her so gently or lovingly, a families bond, or silly personalities, a couples passion, or anything along those lines.. I am constantly witnessing love, firsthand, and being able to share that to the world.

    It not only inspires me as a photographer, but as an individual!

  576. I like both Clickn moms and Tamron on fb! I love how looking at a photo can take you right back to that moment like it just happened.

  577. Leah Schneblin

    I like clickin moms and tamron on fb and I love being able to catch that moment with my camera and relive it over and over!

  578. Nicole SChroeder

    Liked CM and Tamron!! Im a Photo Nut!! I love snapin memories of my two children the most, but love taking pictures of everthing!! Life is a beautiful blessing and love that we are able pass memories down for generations to follow threw photos!

  579. I like the CM fanpage and like the Tamron fanpage.

    Photography is a hobby for me. I like being able to capture the things I see especially my niece and nephews as they grow up.

  580. Whew – almost a 1000 comments! I know my chances are slim, but thank you for the chance anyways! I've been wondering what lens to get next – and this one looks awesome! I liked both pages (well – just the Tamron one – I was already your fan!). And what I love most about photography is capturing a moment that will last a lifetime. I know it sounds cheesy – but my memories are tied strongly to the photos I grew up looking at. So I want that for my family 😀

  581. Lisa Gutierrez

    I already like CM on fb and I now like Tamron too! 🙂 I love photography mostly because it's the one "hobby" I have that I never get tired of!! It's something in the "just for me" category that I get to share with others too. 🙂

  582. Patti Margarita

    Liked you both

    My kids… I wanted great photos of my kids and jut didn't have the funds to hire someone each time… though I do still hire someone who is FAB once a year 🙂

  583. Ooh I already like both pages on Facebook. 🙂 I love how photography lets me keep a moment forever, for myself or my clients.

  584. Heather Bradfield-Ga

    "Liked" Tamron, have "Liked" you for a long time 🙂

    Photography to me means meditation. Being a creative sould with little time to do anything these days, to me it's what paint is to home improvement – an immediate gratification fix. I can take my camera and in 5 minutes have some gorgeous creations that will remind me that I am still an artist at heart regardless of my harried schedule.

  585. Trish Arguelles

    Done and done! I already liked you on FB and now have liked Tamron as well! I love photography because I have two beautiful daughters and I love to capture special moments with them. I love playing with photos graphically as well! I love it all!

  586. I "like" both of yall 😉 And I love photography because I never get to see my daughter change since I'm with her on a daily basis. It's so fun to go back and SEE how much she has changed and grown!!!

  587. marilynn arbeau phot

    I liked both pages too! Photography is my passion, I love the reaction to clients faces when they see their images. It is also my hobby, something I do for myself, being a busy momma to 4 little ones, I deserve a little me time too! 🙂

  588. Great give-away. I love photography because I get to share it with others – the finished product and the process. I'm creating a photo workshop for my daughter's brownie troop this spring. Kids have such a cool view of the world – I can't wait to see what they come up with!

  589. Lora Beth Baysden

    Liked you both!

    I love taking pictures and telling the story of our lives so our girls can look back and remember thier childhood!

  590. Kelli Hardacker

    I already "liked" ClickinMoms, and now I "like" Tamron too! I love photography because it preserves those special memories that sometimes become dull with time. I love that just looking at a picture can evoke emotions that you haven't felt in a while, the love for your newborn, the happiness you felt on your wedding day, etc.

  591. Ransonet Patterson

    Liked you and Tamron!

    Photography is my outlet. I can do what I want with it, when I want, and if I don't like it I can delete it!

    🙂

  592. I would love this lens, I need a great walk about lens and this would rock it!

    I am a fan of both on fb!

  593. I love that photography nurtures my artistic, creative side because that's what's easiest and feels comfortable. Yet, it challenges me through the technical knowledge needed to succeed. I'm learning to pay more attention to detail around me. Photography has strengthened my own confidence in myself and my ability to excel in any area where I exert effort. Of course, I love having some really lovely images of my sweet family, too!

  594. Marci Johnson

    I already "liked" both pages! I love photography because it helps me to capture my precious memories in a creative way! I'd be lost without my camera, & would love this new lightweight lens! 🙂

  595. Megan O'Keeffe

  596. I would love to win this lens. I have two small boys and "LOVE" to Share photography with there grandparents!!

  597. oops…sorry to add what I love about photography. I love capturing the little, every day moments in my life. I also love when I take of picture for someone else and it ends up on their wall as a cherished moment. 🙂

  598. How exciting thank you for this opportunity, with that lens I could catch so many of our daughters Softball games.

  599. I did the 2 "likes"!

    Photography is the most powerful, meaningful tool I know that can make the childhood memories of my three amazing kids last just a little bit longer….and help me remember all the special moments of them growing up.

  600. I "liked" tamron on facebook, and I already "liked" clickin' moms. For me, photography is about capturing the special moments and memories that I never want to forget.

  601. I'm was already a fan of Clickin' Moms and now a fan of Tamron lenses! I love photography because it means capturing those special moments and memories that last a lifetime!

  602. CM and Tameron "lik-er" here as well! I grew up with a camera in my face and I'm so glad I have those memories. I'm doing the same with my own kids. Capturing that perfect moment in perfect lighting that perfectly expresses each of their personalities is priceless to me.

  603. Heather Dailey

    Like both pages.

    I love that photography can be beautiful no matter how you look at it. Its art… plain and simple. I have always had a passion for art growing up. I love just looking around my surroundings and seeing how beautiful everything is together as a whole or by themselves. I also LOVE being able to share precious memories with families or whoever it may be. It is such a special joy to be able to stop time in that one moment and make it something they can cherish forever.

  604. Courtney DeSoto

  608. Rebecca Piatt

  613. I like you both! I love photography because I can capture feelings and memories that we can look back and instantly remember through a photograph. It's as if all those feelings from that moment rush back to us.

  614. Angel Farquhar Muro

    I was already a fan of yours and have also liked Tamron's page. Photography has always been a love of mine. Primarily it was just a hobby, but more recently a little more than that. I love to capture and preserve memories that will last a lifetime.

    My very favorite thing about photography is the memories each photo can hold, everything is always changing, but a photo stays the same 🙂

    Awesome contest !!! Thank you – I like both pages 🙂

  618. I already was a fan of Clickin Moms on Facebook and am now a fan of Tamron. I love photography because it is a way for us to slow down and capture special moments – we are so busy in this world that it is easy to miss those things!

  619. Sada kaitanjian

    I liked both FB sites!

    I am a documentation junkie and I want to have a photo for most moments in my kids life since I did not have very many photos of my upbringing!

  623. I was already a fan of clickinmoms and just became a fan of tamron. Was always a fan in real life of their lenses just not on facebook 🙂 I love photography for many different reasons. One reason is because I love capturing a moment. Not a posed, fake smile, unemotional one but a picture that makes you feel like your actually there. You feel the temperature, you smell the smells, and you feel the emotion. My husband works on the other side of the world from us and being able to have him feel like he is their with us through a picture is priceless!

  624. Jeannie Thiessen

    I am now a fan on Tamron. I was already a fan of Clickinmoms. I have just recently gotten into photography. I love capturing special moments in my life that I may forget later.I love the emotions photography captures. I have only one lens so I would love to win!!

    I love the way Photography helps me show my creative side, because I am usually such a left-brained, analytical person.

  626. Staceu Warner

    I already "liked" Clickin'Moms Now I Liked Tamron! I would really love to win! Just getting the business up and running!

  627. Jenny Therien

    I "like" CM and Tamron for having such an amazing giveaway! Photography has allowed me to recognize the beauty in the simple things as seen through the lens.

  628. Like already liked CM and just liked Tamron on FB. PHotography has been my favorite thing for the longest time, even before I thought about making a career of it. I love capturing little bits of spirit every time I shoot.

  629. I like both CM and Tamron on FB.

    I LOVE photography because it gives me an opportunity to slow down the moments of my kids lives and really examine them. Pictures do tell a thousand words, and I know that I'll love looking back on these years when I'm old and gray.

  630. I already liked both :). I love that Photography is so powerful! How it captures a moment; forever etches it in time. How we are able to evoke emotion, how we are able to preserve life, if you will.

  631. Awesome giveaway! I would love to win this prize. I love photography because it gives me an opportunity to be creative. It is a way to unwind and feel revived after a long day at my other profession.

  632. Crystal Campbell

    I would love to win this lens!!! I love photography because it lets me capture memories that some may not find important but i love to look back and say "hey i remember that!"

  633. I like both Clickin Moms & Tamron on Facebook.

    I love keeping a record of our everyday life with my photography, I want my daughter to have something to share with her kids someday.

  634. What a wonderful giveaway! Love clickin moms!! and would love to continue my love for photography with a new lens:)

  635. Jessica Krupp

    I like both of your FB pages!! =) What I love about photography is being able to catch the simple beauty in every aspect of life! Making something as simple as grass blades or a plank of wood look like the masterpieces of God that they are…just simply amazing and so fulfilling!!

  636. I liked both pages on Facebook! What I love most about photography is capturing almost every move my 18 month old daughter makes, and documenting all of the places we visit. I have a horrible memory, so my photos will be like a story book for her when she is older! I am already looking forward to showing her all of these memories in 10 years. I hope she will be grateful for all of the times I had my camera in her face!

  637. I so need this lens for golf season, high school graduation and for USMC boot camp graduation in the fall

  638. I liked both pages on facebook. And this is part of why I love photography:

    It's the little moments that count.

    You know them: you see the mess your 3-year-old just and know that you're living completely. You share a private joke with your sister and just know that she's your soul mate.

    Your heart is full and you remember that love does conquer all.

    I live to capture those natural, imperfect moments.

  639. Caralee Schufa

    Well put me in this entry!! I am a fan on facebook, and I would love to win this lens. What I love about photography is well first, that I am always learning new things and second, that I am able to give friends and family the best gift…of capturing a moment in time and telling a story with my pictures! Fingers crossed that I win! 😉

  640. Caralee Schufa

    I posted the link to my facebook page for one additional entry! And of course I like clickin moms and tamaron lenses!

  641. "like" (actually LOVE) you on FB! 🙂

    Just liked Tamron, too! I have a Tamron lens and it's one of my faves.

    I don't always get the PERFECT picture, but the REAL picture is what I'm after. The moments, the relationships, the emotions – that's what I love about photography.

  642. I like bith Clickin Moms and Tamron on FB. I am new to photography, but what I love about it is that I get to capture beautiful memories with my husband… and in the future our children! <3

    ~Molly

  643. Already like (should I say LOVE) CM and just liked Tamron on facebook. Photography for me is a way to capture what happens in the blink of an eye. There are always those moments you want to cherish forever!

  644. Betty Elliott

    What's not to "like" about CM and now I've added Tamron to my Facebook Page.

    Photography has allowed me to see the world in a way I never imagined possible. I get goosebumps when I see a beautifully composed photograph. I'm drawn in.

    Thank you CM!

  645. I have "liked" both Clickin Moms and Tamron's FB pages.

    I love photography because it truly captures a moment in time. It's the closet thing we have to stopping time.

  646. Already a fan of Clickin Moms! I liked Tamron!

    My favorite thing about photography is taking a photo that you know the subject will treasure for a lifetime!

  647. I liked the FB page.

    I've loved photography ever since my dad handed me my first Minolta 35mm camera when I was 9. I'm 25 now and starting to really get into the technical aspect of it. Got my first SLR a couple weeks ago and I cant put it down! I really excited to learn macro!

  648. I "liked" Clickin Moms and Tamron Lenses on facebook.

    I love photography because of the ability to capture special moments to look back on. I love the ability of the photographer to capture an everyday moment or object and put their own twist or view on it to change it.

  649. Already a fan of both pages 🙂 Photography fulfills my creative artistic passion, I love that we can shoot and process digitally and produce 1 of kind art. Thanks for the opportunity to win this fabulous lens.

  650. I liked them both on FB=)

    Photography means capturing my son's life – they grow up in a blink and it's been fascinating to be able to look back and see how quickly he grew over the last 18 months!

  651. I like both CM and Tamron! When it comes to photography, I LOVE capturing a moment and being able to see and feel the emotion that was in the room at that very moment.

  652. I've liked both pages. Obviously I love photography, but what I love the most about it is the ability to capture snippets of your life to be treasured in the years to come.

  653. Beckie Lundrigan

    I have always Liked Tamron and you! Photography means to me: "It brings Peace to my life!" It's my second income and without it, I'd be truly lost. I would love to have add this lens to my ensemble! I know great things would come of it! 🙂

  654. Liked both pages. I love photography because it is so rewarding to capture special moments in time for me and our clients. I love the look on clients faces when they see their finished pics.

  655. I've already been a fan of yours for quite sometime!

    I'm now also a fan of Tamron's FB page!

    As for what I love most about photography? My tagline says it all: Capturing Real. Life. Memories!

  656. I Like (more like love) CM. I like Tamron as well but can't "Like" them on facebook because it is a USA site! I love photography. There is just something about capturing all the moments with my kids and my everyday life!

  657. I “liked” both Clickin Moms and Tamron’s FB pages.

    I love photography because it can tell a story and capture a moment also because of what this quote says… Make visible what, without you, might perhaps have never been seen.

    -Robert Bresson

    Thanks!

  658. I've liked them both!

    I love the memories that one simple picture can send flooding back. Photography is pretty powerful.

  659. I would love to win this lens. It would be a great addition to my lens bag. As an amateur Photograhper, Clickinmoms has been a great website for me to learn about photography.

  660. I "Liked" CM on Facebook many moons ago. Trying to "Like" Tamron, but I am in Canada and the link does not work for us. LOL I still like Tamron.

    I love photography as a hobby. It's addictive, it keeps me sane and it allows me to document our lives.

  661. Samantha Abshire

    I've liked both pages. What I like about photography: Capturing the little moments in life. I know that sounds cliche, but it truly is. I've started my own photography business this year (I'm 18) and plan to continue it while in college. I've been doing my peer's senior pictures and there is no better feeling than knowing they chose me over a professional studio. Photography is my passion!

  662. I Like both CM and Tamron on FB.

    I love being able to capture a moment in time in the lives of my children, they are all growing so fast and change everyday!

  663. I like both!

    The reason why I love photography is because it helps me to capture life's moments that I might other wise forget, but it also gives me an escape. To be creative and look at the art that I have surrounding my everyday life 🙂

  664. I had already "liked" CM, but went over and "liked" Tamaron as well!

    The thing I love about photography, is that it is my only escape right now. My life is chaotic and stressful,Two years ago, I was dealt a REALLY tough hand. When I am looking through that viewfinder, the world just seems to quiet down & those things that drive me nuts on a daily basis just fade away. It's like I concentrate on nothing else, except the art I'm making & the moment i'm attempting to capture. Photography makes me happy. 🙂

  665. Candice Thomas

    I already was a fan of clickinmoms and liked Tamron! I love everything about photography but what I love most is that I am freezing a moment in time that I can look back on whenever I want.

  666. What I love about photography is that you capture fabulous moments in life! The crazy ones, the sweet ones, the quiet ones and just the plain 'ol everyday moments!

  667. I already "Liked" ClicknMoms … Would love to "Like" Tamron Lenses USA, but I can't find it….is it because I'm in Canada?

    What I love about photography is that I can record my family's or someone else's family's history! I couldn't imagine not grabbing a camera on a daily basis – it is THAT important to me! 🙂 I'd LOVE a new lens!!! 🙂

  668. I "liked" both FB pages'. Photography allows my eyes to see what others don't. I enjoy being "my own artist" and that no view is "wrong or incorrect". Being able to express your(s) and your subjects emotions at that given time is an amazing experience that only can be remembered by a single image.

  669. I have to thank my friend Shawn for sharing clickinmoms with me. Can't wait to read more about all the clickinmoms out there! I love the Tamron lens I already have, and this would be a great addition!

  670. I already 'liked' CM, but now I 'like' Tamron, too!

    What isn't there to love about photography? I love to capture those special moments with my kids – especially those ones that aren't so perfect 🙂

  671. Thanks for hosting this give away. I love your website and cannot wait to check FB everyday to see what CM has posted.

  672. Liked both pages! Photography means being able to capture fleeting moments of my kids and make them last a lifetime..

  673. Megan Rion from Imag

    I like both of the pages and put it as my status! Photography is my passion. I am a newborn and children photographer in Louisiana. It seems when I see something I see it as a picture and it inspires me! I would love to win the lens! I shoot Nikon.

  674. Lisa Rheingans

    I had already “liked” CM, and so I just went over and “liked” Tamaron.

    The thing I love about photography is being able to capture the moment in that one click. I love being able to look back and see those moments that mean so much in my life.

  675. I went to both the pages and clicked like on both.

    I love being able to capture a moment in time with my camera. Whether that's a photo of a pet, landscape or a flower from my garden.

  676. I already like Clickin' Moms and now I like Tamron! I'm a hobby photog and love to photograph my two beautiful daughters!!

  677. Jennifer Clouatre

    Like both Clickinmoms.com and Tamron! What a great giveaway! Thanks for putting it out there to win!!!! Will post on my FB page, as well:)

  678. Angie Helmbright

    I wish there was a "love" button! But I liked both pages!

    I didn't know how much i loved photography until the pictures that I was taking were of my own baby. Now I know that I will probably die with my Nikon in my hand! My daughter was born with issues that required us to visit the Kennedy Kreiger Institute on a regular basis. My photos of her took me to a place that made me feel happy and like we were "normal". Eight years later she is perfect. I have worked in studios and for other people. I even owned my own studio but something was always missing. So I started shooting for people that needed it like I once did. These days, most of the time that I spend on photography is spent taking pictures of children that are terminally ill. I don't charge the families because when I think back on my families darkest moment, I remember how much happiness was brought to me by just looking at photos of a happier moment. Suddenly everything rang bright with hope, even if just for a moment. I love giving others their share of peace. To me photography is happiness, hope, and proof that a "better day" can happen every day. To me, photography is life in still form.

  679. I already liked Clickin' Moms, but I know "like" Tamron Lenses! 🙂

    What I love about photography is capturing all the different expressions and interactions w/ siblings and parents. It just makes me smile. . . I LOVE everything about photography!!!!!!! 🙂

    Thanks for the opportunity to acquire such an awesome lens. . . and the best part. . . for FREE! 😀

  680. I already Liked CM FB page and now I Like Tamron, too! What I love most about photography is preserving memories in a beautiful way.

  681. I "liked" both pages and I really love photography because it allows me to create new visions with my photographs.

  682. I liked both pages! I love taking pictures of my beautiful daughter. I have a little boy on the way now too and can't wait to get some pictures of the two of them together!

  683. Lisa Anderson

    I like both CM and Tamron on FB…and what I love about photography is capturing moments that may mean the world now or later…but it's captured and can forever be remembered!

  684. Heather Monarrez

    I like clickin moms and tamron on facebook!

    Photography is freezing a moment in time for a lifetime.

  685. I am already a Clickinmoms FB fan, and I just "liked" Tamron, too. I love capturing the moment with photography. I do candid event photography, mostly on my Canon T1i. Thanks for this opportunity to win a Tamron lens.

  686. Being an emotional person, photography has become an outlet for me. I get lost when I'm behind the lens as if nothing else matters. Perusing the work of others also excites and inspires me.

    I am now a "Like"-er of ClickinMoms and Tamron.

    Thank you for the opportunity!

    z

  687. I had already liked CM but I just "Liked" TAmron, I have been eying up the 18-270 for some time. I love photography because it is one of those things in life that make you smile or go .."oh yeah! remember that moment?!" (kinda like a smell or taste). Its with you forever.

    Thanks so much for this opportunity! This would be my perfect lens to shoot my husband racing!!

  688. I LIKED both CM and Tamron on Facebook!

    As a wife and mother, my life is often times about my husband and son and our family. Photography is just for me and that's why I love it. It's mine!

  689. I love photography. It allows us to capture those special moments in time. Those times that we think we could never possibly forget, but with other life experiences they fade away in our thoughts until a photo of that time reappears and we relive it all over again! Our photos are priceless and forever! I love you Tamron and Clickinmoms!!!! Thank you for this opportunity!!

  690. I already liked (love!)CM and now I like Tamron. The thing I love about photography is the feeling I get when looking back at old photos- the emotions and feel of the time and place come flooding back, things forgotten are remembered.

  691. I love photography because it captures a fleeting moment and it allows me to remember the feeling and thoughts and even allows me to relive that moment. I love the creative and technical aspects of it too.

  692. I have liked this page and the tamron. What I love about photography is that I capture every moment of my 5yr old son and the bond that we get when we are out together trying to find the perfect place to take a photograph It also makes me feel really good about myself. Thank You for the chance to view your page and to enter the contest.

  693. I left a link on my facebook

  694. I *liked* CM and Tamron. I think what I love best about photography is the challenge to better myself. To strive forward for the best photo I can take. And oh, how I love to practice, practice, practice!

  695. I liked the page on fb! I love photography because there are always new and fun things to learn. I love having memories. I love the challenge of doing new and different things with my photos!

  696. Christiane Gibbons

    I already was a clicken moms fan, so went over and liked Tamron. I love capturing moments people will forever look back on! I am just starting out trying to build a business and have a long way to go and so much to learn! It's a slow, fun, (expensive!) process! Lol

  697. I love picture taking. I have taken thousands and I am ready for a nice lens, just like Tamron 18-270mm.

    Thank you, please make my wish come true.

  698. Andrea Whittle

    I am a fan of Clickin Moms on FB and a fan of Tamron on FB! I love photography because I love that feeling that I get when I look back on old photos of MY family so I LOVE that I can give that back to other people.
