REALVIZ Creative Panorama Competition

Results of the May Competition

The May Winner of the REALVIZ Stitcher Express software is Jeff Morgan, of Afton, MN, USA.

This is an image of the Stone Arch Bridge in Minneapolis, it was taken from the deck of the Mill City Museum, shortly after sunset on 3/2/2006. This image is a stitch of 3 images (each image is made up of three images/exposures HDR (High Dynamic Range)) so 9 images in total. It was taken on a Canon 5D digital Camera with about 24mm on the zoom lens. The curve of the bridge is not distortion, it is shaped that way. Jeff's web site is here.
