1st place prize, January 2012. Another Evo 3D snap at the Palace of Fine Arts. Notice the symmetry of a mother and child of two species. The children are curious about each other, the mothers are being casually protective, and each with an old goose in the background. Sorry, couldn't resist.

2nd place prize, March 2012. I just shot some lovely low clouds as they drifted overhead. Shooting perpendicular to the wind direction and taking sequential images creates a natural stereo effect since the lowest clouds move the fastest across the screen.

Honorable Mention, March 2012. Perhaps a 12 foot stereo separation shot from a hillside overlooking Clayton California and the rock quarry behind it. This is the second time I submitted it but this time I performed some creative cropping to reduce the effect of the window violations.

1st place prize, special category "Up In the Air", April 2012 plus Honorable Mention, July 2011. Captured while the pilot was standing at the top of a ridge watching his friend and preparing to take off. I just think this snap is just neat.

4th place prize, Special category "Pseudo", July 2012. Piles of twisted rebar left over after the Doyle Drive demolition project separated crushed the concrete containing it. Pumping up the saturation created all the lovely colors, and reversing left and right images created a Jackson Pollock-like effect.

Honorable mention, Special category "Pseudo", July 2012. Many contestants realized that plants and trees make good subjects for reversed stereo. This relatively spherical bush made for a nice effect of concave flowers without a lot of visual confusion.

4th place prize, Special category "Outlaw Creative", August 2012. Close-up of a single sunspot from carefully selected raw data from the two STEREO space probes during a window when they presented a reasonable angle to create stereograms. 3 of 4 wavelengths of UV images for each eye were mapped to the RGB channels to create these lovely false color images.

Honorable mention, August 2012. Enormous fields of shoulder-deep mustard plants at Muscle Rock State Park in Pacifica with a lone paraglider in the distance. This is also another experiment in non-rectangular stereo cropping. In this case the top of the window leans far deeper into the scene than the bottom edge.
