Welcome to the San Diego Digital SLR Photography Group


We welcome all DSLR photographers in the San Diego area to our online camera club. Our aim is to be a center of excellence for DSLR photography in San Diego, California.

San Diego Digital SLR Photography Group is an informal camera club of digital photographers in San Diego California. Our aim is to encourage DSLR owners to get the most from their cameras by joining a community of like-minded individuals who love their art and enjoy sharing their knowledge of photography.

We meet for regular photography group shoots on the second Saturday of each month at locations around San Diego County. The venue is usually announced on the web site around two weeks before the scheduled date. Images from the DSLR group shoots are shared on this site for all members to enjoy in a non-competitive way.

July 2009 Monthly Group Shoot - July 11th

Submitted by Rae C on Thu, 07/02/2009 - 02:13.

It’s time for our monthly group shoot at the Make-A-Wish Foundation’s Wags for Wishes event. This is one of the largest and most comprehensive dog shows on the West Coast. Wags for Wishes expects hundreds of dogs to compete in a variety of events, including the fan-favorite splash dogs, plus field lure coursing, herding instinct tests, agility trials, and more. 

It’s estimated the average cost for a wish is about $7,360. The Wags for Wishes event raises over $100,000. Imagine how many wishes are granted with the money raised from this fantastic event. And you can be part of it! By attending the group shoot, not only will you be supporting the Make-A-Wish Foundation, but you’ll also be able to spend the day doing something you love….photography! 
 
Wags for Wishes is a 3-day event and runs from 9:00 am – 5:00 pm. We will meet on Saturday, July 11th at 8:30 am at the main entrance. 
 
Admission: FREE
Parking: FREE
 
NOTE: Wags for Wishes has their own event photographers. We are attending this event as guests. Please extend professional courtesy and allow the Make-A-Wish Foundation the use of your photos if they so desire. This is a charity event after all, so let’s make it fun!

Exercise: Post Process Me.

Submitted by Andy on Thu, 06/18/2009 - 16:57.

Just a little exercise in post processing, kind of get an idea which direction different peeps would go with the same shot.

To play along click on the photo below and it should open a new window with the Original jpeg (691K) (I tried to put a .tif up on smugmug but it didn't take).  Right click on the photo and choose Save Picture As... Post process it as you will.  Once done resize to 720p high save it for Viewing on the web and post a link back to your results here.

I only ask that when you post a link back to your processed photo that you tell us:

  • What Photo editing software (and version) you are using.
  • Steps you took to acheive the end result, if you would be so kind.  Layers, blends etc.
  • Filters used if any (unless it is a trade secret ) 

I would really like those new to Post P to play along and show the results so that we may offer up some tips and pointers and if possible show an easier way to attain certain results.  There is no right way to process the photo below, so knock yourself out.

Photo is basically from the camera except I took the liberty to straighten it up a bit with the perspective tool in PSP X2.
