Important Notice.
There is a Photo Nomads Web site - Please click here to visit the new site.
The Photo Nomads are a group of people who come together at Lakestore on a horribly informal basis to kick around ideas relating to photography, Photoshop and other Adobe products. The first and final meeting of the Photo Nomads was on Sunday 13 July 2008. Another final meeting is planned. Check the Lakestore Blog for details.
Some of the Nomads ouot and about. A drinking club with a Photoshop habit!
The key to the success of the group is that it is hopelessly disorganised, has no managing committee, no chairperson, no leadership and it could be said the entire group is entirely rudderless. There was, howver, a lot of wine flowing at our first ever meeting.
The group does share an interest in alcohol, food, photography, digital art, computer manipulation of images, wine, a good chinwag and the odd sandwich - and, at the first last meeting, a most wonderful carrot cake made by Barbara.
Anyone who would like to become a Photo Nomad just send a mail to Richard and we will add you to our slowly growing lists of members. Everyone is welcome. There is no fee for joining. There might be a newsletter one day but please bear it in mind it took us nearly two years to arrange the first final meeting. We decided to make it the final meeting but we might have at least one more final meetings in the near future future.
Topics covered at the first meeting included:
Photoshop (which version is right for me)
Layer techniques
Masking techniqes (clever stuff using masks)
Bendy text and layer styles with text
Colour correction (who needs it?)
Layer styles and what to do with them
Interesting filter effects
Discussion re related web-sites
Pimms and its effect on Photoshop
Swedish Susie's use of inappropirate English
All will be welcome at the next meeting.
