First, we would like to thank the 50 people who took part in our 1st HDR Photo Contest with Hydra. You did a very very good job! All your HDR Images are available here.

Here is the answer to the question: 10.
As of version 1.5, Hydra enables you to render an HDR image from up to 10 input photographes (it was only 4 in the very first version of Hydra).

The HDR images we received were really great. No wonder it was so difficult for us to select the best ones! Therefore, we decided to select 5 additional images. Each of these 5 winners gets an upgrade license for Hydra 2.x.

And the winners are...
1st place: Michael Brooks
2nd place: Jim Kirk
3rd place: Alex Powell
4th place: Dan Hansson
5th place: Paul Michaels
6th place: Ulf Thiele
7th place: Michael Kittelson
8th place: Harrison Ball
9th place: Alexandre Amato
10th place: John Morton

Congratulations!
Creaceed is going to organize another HDR Photo Contest in 2009. Therefore, have regularly a look at our website...
