Nature’s Best Photography magazine has announced the winners of the 2011 Nature’s Best Photography Windland Smith Rice International Awards. Among more than 21,000 images received for the competition, the jury has chosen to award as “highly honored” one of my underwater image, showing two stingrays. The shot will also appear in the Fall/Winter 2011 issue in the Oceans category, due out in November.

The winning and highly honored images will be displayed in the Nature’s Best Photography Windland Smith Rice International 2011 Awards gallery at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C. from the end of April through September of 2012.

Today the last tests of the final version of the polecam. The system allows basically remoting all camera command, including video ON/OFF, auto focus (follow), remote image shutter, shutter speed, ISO, and more.

I would like to thank all companies/brand who directly or indirectly helped me finalize my project; a special thank goes to the sponsors: Italcanna-Italy for the carbon elements, Gitzo-Italy for tripod and telescopic extension parts, LightCraft Workshop for the “Helmsman USB Control”.

Please do not hesitate to contact me for further details.

The new LightCraft Workshop “Helmsman” is a USB controller compatible with Canon cameras. Primary function will allow remoting still/video functions to control the camera.

Forms and shapes of my native valley

During one of mine ritual walk up to my valley, with the aim of checking for ice status on the surface of two small alpine lakes, I step into a great nature event; the mating and egg deposition of the Alpine frog (Rana Temporaria) which copulate on the last winter snow patches.
