THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED!
And the winner is: Jerry Thompson of Utah. Congratulations, Jerry!
Stay tuned as we’ll have another T-shirt giveaway later this summer.
But if you can’t wait that long, you can order your very own MilkyWayPhotographers and Photog Adventures t-shirts, hoodies, caps, and even a tuque at Merch.PhotogAdventures.com
Original Post:

We’re so honored with the positive response we’ve had during our first five months, that we thought we’d do a member appreciation giveaway. So we’re giving away a MilkyWayPhotographers.com t-shirt to one lucky member of this website community.
The t-shirt has a graphic of the Milky Way Galaxy with an arrow pointing to the Earth’s approximate location. Below it says, “f/2.8 and be there!” Yes, it’s a reference to that classic photography saying. For those that shoot with faster lenses, the phrase “f/1.4 and be there!” is an option.

Made from a 100% ringspun cotton, the shirts are soft and comfy. They are double stitched on the neckline and sleeves to add more durability. Pre-shrunk with shoulder-to-shoulder taping, they are quarter-turned when shipped to avoid a crease down the center. Sizes range from Small to XXXL and come in Black, Navy, Smoke, Heather Dark Grey, or Lake Blue. This shirt is sure to be your favorite Milky Way Photographers t-shirt!
