Hello All,
Here are my Notes from the SLO Bytes Photo Group of 05/21/2023
TOPIC: Lines
Ralph Sutter opened the meeting with images of row crops, orchards, slatted doors and string trimmer line.
Alan Raul shot ALL his images with a Sony 35mm F2.8 lens. These included images from in and around the Guadalupe, Grover Beach and San Luis Obispo train stations. In addition, he shot a few from the Guadalupe fields, Shell Beach and the 911 World Trade Center memorial located at the San Luis Obispo Fire Station #1.

He got the idea from the Tim Gray article entitled "Extracting a Photo from Video."
https://asktimgrey.com/2023/05/02/extracting-a-photo-from-video/ He used VLC to convert the .MOV file shot with the iPhone to a MP4. You can also extract a still image from Adobe Premier Elements and DaVinci Resolve.
Kaye Raul, having figured out the issue that kept her from sharing photos at the April meeting, shared them today. They included crops and fields. Apropos of this month's topic, she presented a Lightroom slide show complete with music. Most notable was her image of the flooded Oceano campground. Kaye used Adobe's tools to erase distracting items and enhance the visual impact
Stanford Brown found lines in stairways, roads, pathways and power transmission lines
