This is a shot I took last fall of the old bridge spanning the Wenatchee river near Leavenworth WA. On Saturday it won the Icicle Prize 1st place color and peoples choice award. It took home $2000 in prize money.
I’d like to give a big thanks to a great local photographer, Julie Waites, who told me about this contest. I’m told the judges were unanimous and I’m excited and humbled that is did do well.
This is an HDR image taken with my Canon 30D. Such a cool old bridge. Here’s some history about it. Prints can be found in my canvas store.

by Gavin Seim: I’d like to formally welcome Isaiah Taylor to the PPS team of writers. I’ve been working to increase our numbers lately, to bring the PPS community more content and perspectives about photography. I think it’s great to have people from various walks of their careers share ideas and inspirations. Here’s a few words straight from our new writer.
“I am a 26 year old photography student from Cleveland, OH. I have been a photographer for 8 years; with emphasis on documentary photography. I have documented the bboy community for 8 years which is just as long as I have personally been a participant.”
As you’ll see in the feed, Isaiah has already posted a some content and I’m eager to see what comes from him in the future. You can also check out other memebers of the PPS tean over on the about page. Here’s to more and more great content on Pro Photo Show… Gav

Over the past couple months, I have been keeping an eye on the photostream of Opo Terser. Armed with a Pentax K200D, Opo’s various photos show a fine mastery of macrophotography [which is fairly tricky when working with insects].  Coming from a fellow entomology enthusiast, it is really stunning to see the amount of insect ‘head shots’ in his photos.
Getting fully focused, color rich photos of insects takes several attempts, considering how fast most insects move in comparison to a camera shutter. Opo is also an avid astrophotrographer. What is most interesting about both his astro and macro photos would be that they are both taken with the same Pentax K200D camera.
A good majority of astrophotographers I know or have studied use an entirely seperate camera to capture images. Furthermore, it is pretty rare to find someone willing to photograph far off galaxies as well as rare insects. Enjoy and be inspired!

Although CNET may have been a bit too swift in posting video for the camera a couple days ago [prior to Canon’s announcement], it looks like quite the frenzy of news is centered around Canon’s Rebel T1I ability to capture video. I always find it funny when info is ‘accidentally’ leaked in the tech world only for the victim [in this case Canon] to give off the impression as if they are forced to release this information. Be that as it may, Canon has a new ‘semi-entry level’ DSLR. Here are the specs:
