Post a selfie for a chance to win a Sigma lens accessory

For the month of January, Sigma lens owners should start shooting and posting selfies of themselves with their gear. As part of a customer appreciation campaign, the company is choosing four winning photos posted on social media, at the end of the month. Winners will receive a new circular polarizing filter that matches the lens shown in the selfie, which, depending on the lens, could be worth as much as $160.

The circular polarizers help remove reflections of subjects and objects when shooting glass or water. It also helps to deepen intensity of blues in sky shots. It’s a handy tool to keep in your camera bag.

To participate, you simply need to tag qualifying photos with #MySigmaLens or #MySigmaCamera on Twitter, Instagram, or Google Plus by January 31, 2015. Photos are automatically aggregated to Sigma’s blog, where the company will choose the winners at month’s end. If you’ve been contemplating getting a Sigma lens – even a used one – now might be the time.

Need an idea of what to shoot? Our recommendation: get super creative. Here are some submission examples from other Sigma owners.

Google releases big v4.0 update for its popular Snapseed editing app on Android
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

After years of sitting on its hands, Google appears to have remembered it owns one of the best photo editing apps on mobile. Snapseed 4.0 is now rolling out to Android, bringing the platform up to speed after a stretch of iOS exclusivity that left Android users watching from the sidelines.

The story starts last June, when Google quietly broke Snapseed out of its long dormancy with a significant 3.0 update for iPhone. It was a surprise move that suggested the company was serious about the app again. Google then confirmed at the start of this year that Android wouldn't be left behind for long, and true to that word, the Play Store listing has now been updated to reflect version 4.0 — skipping straight past 3.0 for Android users and landing both platforms on the same version simultaneously.

Whether it is dark circles from a late night of work, a blemish that showed up uninvited, or something similar that could use additional brightness, Google Photos now has you covered.

Google has officially rolled out a new Touch Up suite inside its Photos app editor, integrating face retouching tools directly into the app for the first time. Previously, such adjustments were only available inside Google’s Camera app at the time of capture.
