Hello All,
Here are my
Notes for the SLO Bytes Photo Group Meeting of
05/19/2024TOPIC: Learn Something and Share
The meeting began with
Alan Raul sharing links that are posted on the
SLO Bytes Digital Photography website at
https://www.slobytes.org/digital/links.html Alan commented on the free video editing program,
Davinci Resolve from
Black Magic Design. He used the program to demonstrate some of its capabilities. Particularly impressive was its new editing app for the
iPhone.
He then showed how to use
Adobe Photoshop?s sky replacement adding some of his own skies to enhance images of Pismo Beach.
Next, Raul commented that it is now possible to use an iPhone as a portable scanner for a MAC computer.
Continuing with the Davinci Resolve theme,
Ralph Sutter used that program to create a video of him turning a screwdriver handle on a wood lathe and then fluting it with a homemade jig.
Finally, Ralph demonstrated focus stacking by combining 6 images into one resulting in a shot looking down a long hallway with every foot of the corridor in focus.
Kaye Raul also showed focus stacking. Her subject was flower arrangements. Kaye mentioned that there will be a free
Lightroom Summit from
MAY 20 - 24, 2024. Register at
