SLO Bytes Photo Group Notes for 11/14/2021
« on: November 15, 2021, 11:24:17 AM »
Hello All,
Here are my Notes for the SLO Bytes Photo Group Meeting of 11/15/2021

TOPIC: Each One Teach One; Share with others a program that you use or a technique that you practice
The SLO Bytes Photo Group added the First Session to our monthly meetings so that we could present our own historical images and those of others found on-line. 
For the past several months, no one has offered such content. 
For this reason, we decided to suspend the First Session indefinitely.  The December 2021 Photo Group will begin at 2:00 pm with members sharing original images taken since the November 2021 meeting.

The November Second Session opened with Ralph Sutter showing images of sunsets and palm trees shot at home and land/seascapes seen while hiking near Cayucos and Avila Beach.

Stanford Brown followed offering shots of the Salinas River, Paso Robles and surrounding areas.  His selection included dogs, alpacas, foxes and squirrels as seen on his walks through the countryside.

Alan Raul presented next.  He used the Linux photo display program, Eye of Mate, to show thumbnails and exposure data.  We saw sunsets, seascapes and cairns.  Alan added interest with the selective use of black and white inside color images. 

Kaye Raul demoed several recent Adobe releases; Creative Cloud, Premiere Rush and Photoshop Express.
She compared the sky replacement capabilities of Photoshop to that of Luminar AI, highlighting the strengths and shortcoming of each.  See Kaye’s links at https://www.slobytes.org/digital/documents/kaye-notes-1121.docx

John Waller used the Object Selection Tool, just added to Adobe Photoshop, to highlight multiple objects in the same image and transform them.  He used neural filters for manipulating depth of field and changing selective focus.

Our next meeting will take place on December 12th
The topic is Portraits; Share images of people
The meeting will take place via Zoom  A Zoom invitation will be e-mailed to Photo Group members shortly before the meeting.
