Hello All,
Here are my Notes from the SLO Bytes Photo Group Session of 04/11/2021
Notes from the Meeting of 04/11/2021
TOPIC: Black and White - Architecture The meeting took place via Zoom
In the
First Segment, we saw images of architecture on-line from humble to haughty and then rendered in black and white.
Stanford Brown showed sharp images of ancient temples in Cambodia
The
Second Session opened with
Ralph Sutter showing chicken coops and local buildings first in full color and subsequently reduced to black and white.
Kaye Raul followed suit, sharing houses throughout the San Luis Obispo area.
Alan Raul opened with structures and vessels by the sea; Morro Bay, Port San Luis and Avila, along with driftwood shelters and the iconic Halcyon Temple of the People.

John used familiar sites for his transformations; the Santa Barbara Mission, Oceano Train Depot and the Arroyo Grande one room schoolhouse.
Bob Ward carefully edited a chicken coop before moving to the old ranch house beside Costco San Luis Obispo and finally applying several of Luminar AI's portrait tools to change the look of the subject.
Doug Depue introduced the group to
