One of Yoshiki Nakamura's snow geese photograph is selected as 3rd place in Wildlie category of International Conservation Photograph Awards on 18th of July, 2010. . The photograph will be exhibited at Burke Museum in University of Washington from 19th of July through September 6th, 2010. Photo is one of Artwork in Birds Gallery of this site titled "Blurry birds in a flurry". Thousands of snow geese migrate from Siberia to the Skagit Valley, Washington, in winter. Huge flocks take off together in a chaotic manner when a threat approaches --- such as a bald eagle. Very show shutter speed (1/50sec) was used to capture this moment of dynamic, energetic, yet elegant moment of the flock taking off.

2010 was a strong year for photography by Seattle Times readers who sent in hundreds of entries for our "Pix From My Weekend" feature. At year's end, we've chosen 10 favorites. The selection is never easy.

The grand prize - a $250 gift card from Glazer's Camera - goes to Ryan Hyde, of Ballard. His winning photo is on today's NWWeekend cover.

Among criteria for our top choice: We looked for a photo of a person having fun in the Northwest.

Thanks to all who sent in so many images reflecting the choices we have for enjoyable weekends in the...

Christmas 2010 - your photos
A few weeks ago, I invited you, the readers of The Big Picture, to submit your own images of Christmas 2010. It was another experiment, I was hoping for high quality, personal images and was not disappointed once again. Several hundred submissions came in from around the world, and I thank every one of you for participating. Looking back on the Christmas season one last time, I present the following collection of reader-submitted photographs - and invite you to see Christmas through their eyes. Captions written by the photographers. (42 photos total)
