« Last post by rsutter on December 14, 2025, 05:10:32 PM »Hello All,
What follows are my Notes from the SLO Bytes Photo Group of 12/14/2025
Ralph Sutter began the meeting with favorite images from Boundary Waters, the San Juan Islands, Santa Cruz Island and from atop his kitchen counter. Ralph commented that all of the photos were taken with a Fuji waterproof camera or a Samsung S22 smartphone. None of them came from his Sony A7 IV mirrorless camera.
Alan Raul chose all his images from 2025. They included black and white stylized photos of architecture and shots with intentional camera movement. When working with his Leica, Alan prefers to set the shutter speed at 1/250th of a second and the ISO set to Auto.
Kaye Raul moved between elephant seals at Piedras Blancas to Yosemite's Half Dome. She also offered images of San Francisco landmarks, wind turbines and fishermen silhouetted against the sun setting on the ocean.
Stanford Brown included lots of people in his shots, closeups of babies, silhouettes, kids on bikes, hikers fording streams and raging rivers.
John Waller shared historical photos of his mother presiding over Arroyo Grande's Harvest Festival, his favorite childhood campsite, visits to Yosemite and Disneyland. John also captured an A10 airplane flying at the Santa Maria Air Show.
At the close of the meeting, Sutter called attention to his recent post on the Links Page entitled Show Your SmartPhone Images on Google Maps Pro with Irfanview See https://www.slobytes.org/digital/documents/exf-irfanview.pdf
The next meeting will take place on January 18th, 2026, beginning at 2:00 pm via Zoom.
