PHOTO CONTEST: Award Winning Cable Shot


This photograph took first prize in the Power Delivery Design Conference 2013 Photo Contest.

Less than two hours before Nik Wallenda’s historic walk across Niagara Falls I captured this image of his 1800-foot custom manufactured wire rope pulled to an event-ready tension of 65,000 pounds.
