The prize is a camera you’ll never want to leave behind. Canon’s 18-megapixel EOS 100D is perfect for beginners who are interested in photography: it delivers superb photos and video, and features an optical viewfinder and touchscreen controls. It’s small enough to take everywhere and ideal for capturing Fido or Tiddles at their playful best. The winner will also receive the 100D’s standard kit lens, the EF-S 18-55mm.

Click here now to submit your photograph for a chance to win! The winning image will be chosen by The Simple Things editor-in-chief Jane Toft and photographer Andrew Montgomery.

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
