2nd place prize, February 2016. This rotting boat is a landmark along highway 37 running across the top of the SF bay. One day I stopped and took this snap. The truly ironic thing is that Pat, a new club member submitted another photo of the same boat and edged mine out for first place! What are the odds of that?

3rd place prize, February 2016. Shot from the sidewalk railing along Portola Drive. It's a great view but difficult to shoot as I've tried several times, but this time with a good borrowed camera with a long lens made all the difference.

1st place prize, March 2016. Driving past Alta Plaza Park in SF I saw this bubble guy thrilling the kids with enormous bubble wands. This woman tried her hand at making some nice ones.

3rd place prize, March 2016. I liked this one even more than the one that took the top spot because of the expression on the little monster's face as he's about to murder that bubble. Have you ever seen anyone quite that happy?

1st place prize, May 2016. Found myself here as the last rays are streaming from the right. I didn't have my rig for shooting panoramic stereo so I gave it my best show by hand and was surprised that it worked at all.

3rd place prize, September 2016. Entirely computer generated, this is a 3D modeled version of an optical illusion I'd been fascinated by for some time by Beau Deeley. Roice Nelson did the basic modelling using a ray-tracer called POV-Ray which I then tweaked, so very little of it is my own work but I wanted to see if the illusion still worked in 3D.

Honorable Mention, July 2016 and one of the top 5 group B images of the year for 2016. It was just a quick snap I took of a plane rotting on a tarmac. I didn't think much of it and only submitted it in July when I ran out of images that I liked.
