Wildlife Photographer of the Year - Doug Perrine ...
Congratulations to Doug Perrine for winning the British Natural History Museum's Wildlife Photographer of the Year award!
Mr. Perrine's win is especially interesting for Wetpixel readers because the winning photos were taken digitally with a Canon D60, the first 6 megapixel digital SLR, in a UK-Germany housing.
Other award-winning photographs in the contest that were taken digitally include Charles Hood's photo of a great hammerhead shark (Nikon D100), Douglas David Seifert's photo of a white shark in Guadalupe (Canon D60/Sea & Sea), Jan Vermeer's photo of a great reed warbler (Canon 10D), and others. I am especially excited about these wins because I was with both Charles and Douglas when they snapped their respective winning shots. :) Continue reading for some words about the competition from Doug Perrine.

The Winners:
 1st Place: Mastigias Jellyfish - Mike Veitch (TahitiMike) |
 2nd Place: Reef Squid Predation - Andy Heath (Andy H) |
 3rd Place: bavosa nel buco - Francesco Visintin (france_vis) |
This contest would not be possible without generous support from contest sponsors and our jury of judges.

Eric Cheng to speak at NCUPS on Friday
This is a quick note to inform you that I will be speaking at this Friday's NCUPS meeting in Fort Mason (Room C-370) in San Francisco. I'll be bringing some large lightjet prints made from Canon 1Ds and Canon D60 images, and will speak generally about the history of underwater digital imaging (from a consumer standpoint) and a bit on the additional workflow required to get digital images to print and on the web.
The talk starts at 8pm, but "social time" begins at 7:30pm.
