Cathy has been out-of-town during our last two meetings but she did want to share a collection of photos of San Diego Landmarks. This is her portfolio theme.

Photos shared during UCSD PhIG monthly meetings
17 Jun 2026 Theme Portfolio Project: Jim
Jim continues his Japan portfolio, focusing on 16×9 horizontal compositions in particular. Although many photographs in his archives are vertical – a suprisingly large percentage he realizes during this project. He’s recomposed verticals or selected mostly horizontal compositions to crop into this semi-panoramic format.
17 Jun 2026 Theme Portfolio Project: Norm
Norm expands on his 360 panoramic image portfolio. Of everyone in the group, he has the most specialize and technical group of images. I respect his focus and the amount of effort to create one immersive image from a set of fisheye & wideangle photos. Please click on each thumbnail to connect to his 360cities.net versions for the full effect.
17 Jun 2026 Theme Portfolio Project: Barbara
Barbara continues her black&white and color street photography porfolio using her Nikon Zf and OM Systems cameras. A collection of various images around San Diego including the Rock-n-Roll Marathon.
17 Jun 2026 Theme Portfolio Project & Color: Barb
BarbD continues with her dual portfolio ideas – architecture and “green’. She uses a compact 1” Sony RX100VI pocket travel camera. It produces photos of suprisingly great quality with little or no post-processing. I’ve started carrying mine around a lot more, inspired by her stuff.

17 Jun 2026 Theme Color: Sharon
Sharon opted for the alternate theme “color”, where you focus on finding and focusing on one particular color.
Portfolio Project 2026: Norm
Norm has a particular speciality – 360deg imagery – that is very unique to the group. He did not use a 360deg camera that is currently available. He took a series of images using a superwide or fisheye lens then stitched them together using PTGui software. He processes the image set into a 360deg panoramic image which, when view on 360cities.net, is immersive and interactive. Click on the panoramic image to open it’s 360deg link. You can view all of his 360 panoramics at 360cities.net.
Portfolio Project 2026: Jim
Jim traveled to Japan several times from 2004-2023 and wants to compile his favorite photos. It is not meant to be a travel log or photographic journal but a gathering of his favorite images. For his portfolio, he wanted to use a 16×9 horizontal format for stylistic consistency. So the images he is compiling fit this horizontal format.
Portfolio Project 2026: Barb D
Barb shared two ideas in May – “Green” and “Architecture”. We’ll see if one or both of these themes/styles/subjects continues to fill out her portfolio.

Portfolio Project 2026: Barbara
Barbara’s portfolio for May-July 2026 are of her street photography favorites. Since purchasing a Nikon Zf with the 40mm & 50mm primes, she’s focused on exploring street-style photos. Using the Nikon’s built-in b&w live view, she’s been shooting more images in black&white.
