Post by: rsutter on March 10, 2019, 05:21:14 PM
Hello All,
Here are my notes from the SLO Bytes Photography Group Meeting of 03/10/19
TOPIC:  Shadows
Ralph Sutter began the meeting by pointing out the recently added inclusion on the Links page to the iPhone app, ProCamera
 https://www.procamera-app.com/en/.  It is an iPhone photo app - $3.99; additional add ons available;

Sutter then offered his slide show of shadows from objects illuminated by different light sources.

Alan Raul showed some footage from the 2019 Avila Polar Bear Plunge pointing out how he extracted some stills from video.  Then, forsaking his trusty iPhone Alan showed images shot with his digital camera. One striking image was that of a ring placed on the crease of an open Bible.  With overhead lighting, the shadow of the ring projected the image of a heart on the open pages.

Bob Styerwalt focused on the shadows of people, trees and other landscape features from outside his door, plus a series of hand shadows on a projection screen.

John Waller shared photos of his dogs and a striking image of a family member on a horse entering a dimly lit barn.

Connie Sutter used her iPhone to capture the shadows of patio furniture

The tentative schedule for the remainder of 2019 is as follows
  April 14th
