Sunday Sampler May 21, 2023

May 21, 2023meredithimages Leave a comment

Today’s Sunday Sampler is another of Dave’s creations! He blended at least 4 images to get his original. I then added a bit of lens blur in PS, and created two more versions with Smart Photo Editor. These are great for bokeh backgrounds behind other flowers. (NOTE: These are shown horizontally below to fit my template, but the actual textures you will download are vertical for use behind flowers. Of course, you can use them the way that best fits your image!) Enjoy!

New Camera Club / Group Workshops!

As you know, I’ve done seminars for camera clubs and conferences all around the U.S. – both in-person and virtually. I recently did my “Creativity with Your Smart Phone” presentation, and the club wanted to do a “deep-dive” into the apps with a “hands-on” workshop. I set up an all-new line-up of projects and did the 3-hour workshop yesterday. I set it up as a Meeting on Zoom, rather than a Webinar, so that people could easily ask questions as we went along. The session was recorded and the group will have six months to watch the replay. All of the apps we used, except one, has an Android version (or an app very similar).

I’ve also done Photoshop as a 4-hour hands-on workshop virtually earlier this year. It spanned projects for beginners through advanced.

If your camera club or other photo group (doesn’t have to be a formal club, just a minimum of 8 people) would like to do any of my other seminars as a workshop, let me know! Email me for more details. (Hazel@MeredithImages.com)

My current list of camera club seminars is:

Creativity with Your Smart Phone
Get Creative with the Nik Collection
Discover Luminar Neo
Working with Textures & Overlays: Turn Ho-Hum into a Work of Art
Creativity with Textures & Composites
“Alternative Visual Artistry” featuring Barns & Vintage Items
HDR (High Dynamic Range) Imaging – the Natural Look
Photoshop – Beginners
Photoshop – Intermediates
Photoshop – Advanced

And, I’ve had clubs already booking for the 2023-2024 season! Contact me to set up a program night presentation on any of the above topics! Early bird pricing available until Aug. 15th!!

“How Do I…” Photoshop Tips & More!

I’m always trying to think of different topics for the webinars, and a few people sent questions that I’ve added for this webinar.

How do I download asset files?
How do I unzip downloaded files?
How should I sort and save digital assets?

How do I use gradients in PS?
What is the difference between a gradient fill and a gradient map?
What is the best way to save an image?
How do I set the aspect ratio to print properly?
And a few creative tips!

If you have a burning question, shoot me an email and I’ll see if I can answer it in the webinar! And, if you have ideas for future webinars, feel free to share those too! Hazel@MeredithImages.com.

Sunday Sample April 30, 2023

April 30, 2023meredithimages

Hard to believe another month has flown by!
Finished the first Barns & Back Roads Workshop of the year yesterday. Lots of fun!

Today’s Sunday Sampler began as wallpaper (hotels are a great place to find textures). I’ve created several pastel versions for you. These are also great to add a little blur and use as bokeh backgrounds. Enjoy!
