3rd place prize, March 2022. I've been chasing these kinds of rays for a while and this was my first successful one. It's also my first experiment with the vignetting effect which I think helped a lot.

Honorable Mention, March 2022. This is an art installation by Andy Goldworthy. Challenging to photograph due to the depth, but that's what stereo photography is for. I'd tried shooting it a couple of times and finally got lucky with the lighting.

1st place prize, May 2022, Special category "Creative". A lovely flame red Japanese maple on the Lyon Street steps with Photoshop > Filter > Stylize > Glowing Edges. Photoshop filters usually work poorly with stereo images because they don't do the same things in each half of a stereo pair. Glowing Edges is one of the few exceptions.

Honorable Mention, May 2022. Special category "Creative". Not a true "creative" in that I didn't alter a photograph. Rather it's a creative composition in which the subject is really the fence at the stereo window which blocks the eye from exploring freely beyond it.

4th place prize, October 2022. Extremely long baseline stereogram (40-50 feet) needed for this enormous rock quarry about 1/4 mile acroos in this direction. This was on an exploration with a friend to see if we could even sneek in. Turned out to be easy. In the process I learned that the eventual plan is to punch through to the bay and create a new yacht harbor.
