Olympus PEN E-PL3: Capturing BlogHer 2012 Memories (w. giveaway)

August 2, 2012 By Leticia

Good morning from New York City! I’m among the 4,500 bloggers, PR, and brands descending on the city for BlogHer 2012. As a BlogHer veteran (this is my 5thBlogHer!), I know the importance of documenting the fun, friends, session takeaways and new products I’m learning about. 

This year Olympus outfitted me with their PEN E-PL3 camera to document my conference experience. Whether you’re here in NYC or rocking HomeHer12 this year from the comfort of your own home, Olympus is giving YOU opportunity to WIN on of these fantastic cameras for yourself. And trust me. It IS fantastic!

Olympus PL-3
What do I love about this camera? So many things!
This 12.3 megapixel beauty is easy to use, compact, has a lightning fast auto focus, takes full HD video, features a gorgeous 3” tilting LCD screen, and built in art filters so you can get as creative as you want with your shots.
3″ tilt screen allows you to capture images over your head
or at ground level comfortably
I can use the 14-42mm lens it comes with or swap for the 42-150mm lens to really zoom in and thanks to stabilization controls in the body of the camera, my shots come out beautifully every time. As a mom of 2 very active kids, I also love that I can capture every single moment, regardless how fast they’re moving, thanks to the PEN E-PL3’s ability to take 5 photos a second.
It’s seriously the best camera I’ve ever used. But enough of my raves….How do you enter to win one for yourself?
Easy!
To enter, tweet this and come back to leave a comment letting me know you’ve done so: @TechSavvyMama I want to win the @GetOlympus PEN E-PL3 camera! http://bit.ly/Qj2KUZ #penready
The contest will run from August 1st– 5th and you are welcome to tweet more than once! The winner will be selected on Monday, August 6th.
While you aren’t required to do so for entry into the PEN E-PL3 giveaway, I highly encourage you to check out @GetOlympus Facebook page and Likethe page to see all the beautiful images that are taken with Olympus cameras and to ask any photo-related questions you may have. In the meantime, enjoy these photos taken this morning with my Olympus PEN E-PL3!
Legal disclaimer: Contest will be open from 12:00am August 1 and closes at 11:59pm on August 5, 2012. Participant must be a U.S. resident and 18 years of age to win. For full contest rules, visit my Official Sweepstakes Rules.
Let me know if I’ll see you at BlogHer!
Olympus provided me with a PEN E-PL3 camera. No additional compensation was received for this post and hosting the giveaway. Images of the camera courtesy of Olympus.

Thanks for reading Tech Savvy Mama through your feed!

Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day because we’re so glad Goldie and Murphy are part of our family! 🐶 We gave Goldie her forever home when she was 6 months old. She had been given up by her original family because she was just too much for them. She was an enthusiastic pup who loved to jump straight up in the air when she got excited and she used to hop the fence in the mornings to go visit her best dog friend, Katy, over our back fence. She still jumps from standing when she sees a deer, meets a favorite dog friend, or gets a visit from @lisatasch but now at age 5, she’s more calm and forever faithful. 🦮We met Murphy and his 9 brothers and sisters just days after he was born although we didn’t know he would be the puppy we’d claim as ours. Murphy has that puppy energy but in his quiet moments is a total love bug. He hogs the free space in our king bed (he even has his own pillow!) and loves nothing more than to press his body into me or lie directly on me. 🐾 Goldie and Murphy came to us through @labrescuelrcp and we couldn’t be happier that they’re part of our family! ❤️ #rescuedogday #labrescue #labrador #adoptdontshop
After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hos After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, I’m leaving Memphis so very grateful to be able to support St. Jude’s mission of working to end childhood cancer. ❤️ Spending time connecting, brainstorming, and absorbing the wisdom of fellow Hero Ambassadors from around the country was inspiring because the work we do fundraising through our endurance events helps St. Jude do the incredible work they do to ensure families never receive a bill for their child’s treatment, housing, travel, or food and continue important research that will continue to reduce rates of pediatric cancer and other childhood diseases. I am so looking forward to running in Memphis again this December! 🎉 If you’ve ever thought of running a race that does so much good in the world, join me! I’d love to have you come to Memphis and run with me! Or you can always donate through the fundraising link in my bio. ❤️ #stjude #stjudeheroes #memphis #stjudedmv

When we bought our house 24 years ago, it came wit When we bought our house 24 years ago, it came with many things we didn’t love like rotted porch boards, 1 bathroom, and peeling paint (inside and out!) but it also came with things we did love like old, mature trees, crazy shaped boxwood bushes, and these spectacular peonies! 🌸 Every year when they bloom I’m so glad that these beauties conveyed with the purchase of our house and I’m glad we rebuilt our porch so we can step out our front door to admire them in their glory! 🩷#peonies #peonyseason #garden #blooms #spring
As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the me As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the mental health challenges our youth face and am really pleased to share that over the weekend I became certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid through the National Council for Mental Wellbeing! 🎉 I’ve always worked to build relationships with the young people in my life- whether my kids’ friends or students- and this certification has made me more mindful of the signs and symptoms of mental health challenges so I can have important and supportive conversations when symptoms first start to appear. 🗣️A big component of the training also included developing a self-care plan which is critical when supporting others. 💕 I’m so grateful to have taken this certification for free through the University of Maryland whose blended learning format (2 hours of self paced online work + 5 hour instructor led class over Zoom) was fantastic! 💻 The teacher in me really applauds the course design and I’m glad to join the 3 million+ in the U.S. certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid. 🏥 If this is something you’re interested in doing, University of Maryland has free courses on Saturdays or Sundays from 10-4pm between June-October. Swipe ⬅️ for more information, including a QR code with more information and a survey to take as part of the sign up process. And if you have any questions- leave a comment or DM me. I’m happy to help you get certified too! ❤️ #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthfirstaid #youthmentalhealth #mentalhealthawarenessmonth
