Hello All,
Here are my
Notes for the SLO Bytes Photo Group meeting of 02/13/2022TOPIC: Street Photography with or without People,
Ralph Sutter took a walk through the Village of Arroyo Grande with his dog Andy, capturing street scenes along the way.
Alan Raul showed images from around Pismo Beach, including the downtown area, pier and the beach. These images were captured with a
iPhone 13 Pro Max and a
Sony A7iv w/a 24 - 70mm F4.0 lens. Except for the iPhone shots, everything else was modified using
Adobe Photoshop 2022. He also showed the before and after shots of removing power lines and other distracting elements of the picture using the
Spot Healing Brush.

During the
Second Session, we discussed controlling depth of field and selective erasing of distracting objects in images.
Kaye Raul demonstrated the ability of the just released photo editing program,
Luminar Neo, to remove power lines from images with a single click.
Ralph shared his frustration in not being able to successfully install Neo on his
Windows desktop. Luminar responded quickly to Sutter's call for help but their suggestions didn't resolve the issue by the end of the Photo Group meeting.
UPDATE: On Monday, 02/14/2022, Luminar released a fix and Ralph was able to successfully install and activate Neo.
Alan followed, using
Photoshop to simply remove power lines.
The topic for the meeting on March 13th will be
Controlling Depth of Field. The meeting will take place via Zoom.
An invitation will be e-mailed to Photo Group members shortly before the meeting
