Hello All,
Here are my notes from the SLO Bytes Photo Group Meeting of January 14th, 2018
TOPIC: Before and After
Ralph Sutter opened the meeting by showing a series of images that illustrated the progression from an alpaca to a pair of alpaca socks, a chicken to scrambled eggs and water from the storage tank to the faucet.
Alan Raul followed with numerous shots of the Avila Beach Polar Bear Plunge. He also experimented with the slideshow program, 
Proshow Gold, exploring some motion effects that he had not tried before.
John Waller shared some of his image manipulation projects with the rest of us. He demonstrated color replacement, restoration of degraded photos and recreation of an image after the photo had been shredded by the family dog. He also added the illusion of flowing water to still images of waterfalls.
The next meeting of the Photo Group will take place on 
Sunday, February 11th. The theme is 
Water, whether in the form of rain falling from the sky, soap suds floating in a mop bucket or anything else that the word 
Water suggests to you.
The tentative meeting schedule for the remainder of 2018 is as follows
