Hello All
Here are my Notes for the Photo Group Session of 06/14/2020
TOPIC: Animals; please share images of fauna that walk the earth, fly the skies or swim the seas
The meeting took place via Zoom
Ralph Sutter began the meeting by reviewing the links posted on the web site at
https://slobytes.org/digital/links.html Ralph then shared photos of animals seen around his house and at Santa Margarita Lake. Sutter used two programs to display his images;
Photodex Proshow Producer and
DaVinci Resolve. Photodex ceased to exist on 01/31/2020 but their software still works with the exception of their on-line resources. Ralph found the freeware program, DaVinci Resolve to be a very sophisticated video editor whose features equal or surpass those of
Adobe Premiere.
Doug DePue showed the elephant seals of Piedras Blancas. They were photographed long before that stretch of Highway 101 offered dedicated viewing areas and vehicle parking lots.
Alan Raul used
Adobe Spark and other Adobe products to create photo collages of some of his four-legged friends.
Bob Styerwalt documented Bath Day for his puppy, adding images of backyard birds and bees.
Kaye Raul showed painted cow statues, livestock and wildlife found near the Madonna Inn and the Avila Barn as well as photos of her dog shedding snow drifts of hair.
Stanford Brown captured still images of bison, elephant seals, domesticated fishing cormorants, bears, deer and sundry other wild animals photographed around the world.
Connie Sutter pressed into service stuffed animals and hand puppets from her days as a classroom teacher, finishing off with a shot of her new and very lively puppy.
John Waller shared images of seals in Morro Bay, deer in Yosemite, many animals of the Santa Barbara Zoo and others roaming Hearst Ranch.
