Notes from the Meeting of 11/09/2025 by Ralph Sutter
Ralph Sutter began the meeting with images of his dog, Andy, perspective shots of fruit and kitchen items.
He then ventured to Strother Park where he captured shots of a bounce house, play equipment and photos of Arroyo Grande Creek.
Kaye Raul opened Adobe Lightroom and then asked the group how it went about workflow organization.
Did we sort images by date, subject matter, location, image quality or some other criterion?
Kaye then explained that she sometimes viewed the metadata to aid in her selection.
John Waller sometimes organizes his images by the that he used as well as subject, location and star ranking. He shared photos of his dachshund and terrier playing outside.
Stanford Brown recounted his trials and tribulations in learning the capabilities of the video editor, Animotica https://www.animotica.com.
Stanford confessed that he had not yet learned how to edit out a section of video in the middle to the filmstrip.
The next meeting will take place on December 14th, 2025, beginning at 2:00 pm via Zoom.
The topic will be Share 7-10 of Your Favorite Images. They need not be recent photos. Be prepared to explain why you chose each image.
