18 Jun 2025 Themes Missions, San Diego Fair: Cathy
Cathy shared some photos of Mission Carmel and a previous Fair photo with a wonderful sunset. Whwn traveling she often relies on her iPhone as her main camera. These are great examples of how even-better cell phone images can look with a little post-processing. Here are the photos she shared:
21 May 2025 Themes: Silhouettes/Backlit, Selective Color, Spring Is In the Air: Gary
Gary shared photos from his annual Spring Yosemite trip. He shared some wonderful campfire abstract images as well as Vernal Falls. Others followed the silhouette and Spring is In the Air themes.
21 May 2025 Themes: Silhouettes/Backlit, Selective Color, Spring Is In the Air
Our May themes were silhouettes/backlit, selective color, and “Spring is in the Air”. Silhouettes and/or backlit are self-explanatory. Selective color can be a couple of things – photos with one specific dominant color, black&white image with a single color visible, or any artist’s interpretation. “Spring Is In The Air” would be any photos displaying the Spring Season. There were 7 participants in the May meeting. Here are the images shared:

21 May 2025 Themes: Silhouettes/Backlit, Selective Color, Spring Is In the Air: Jim
Jim’s photography has been pretty eclectic lately, but he thinks of the themes when approaching making photos. Some techniques like selective color are done post-processing. But he does pursue street photography with themes like repeating colors – none lately. Here are the images he shared this month:
21 May 2025 Silhouettes/Backlit, Selective Color, Spring Is In the Air: Cathy
Cathy shared silhouetted and backlit photos this month. She included ‘select color’ apple blossom and Sensorio images. Her approach to photographing the Sensorio hillside light installations is wonderful. Photographing them early in the evening before the lights came on.
21 May 2025 Silhouettes/Backlit, Selective Color, Spring Is In the Air: Barbara
Barbara shared silhouettes and a wonderful backlit Baboon photo which she asked for some ideas on how to process it. Apple Photos turned out a little better than Lightroom in a quick edit. She also shared some selective color, local wildlife and a humorous street photo – “Working Dog”. Here are her pics:
