Blog for Photographers -  SPI Photo Conference

Local Florida - SPI Photo Conference

This newsletter is going to focus on photo conferences and classes for continued learning and improving photography skills.

Here's a few photos of a Scentsy camera that I won when I attended the last SPI photo conference in Orlando, FL.  The next one will be January 4-8, 2018.  This is the third time I have attended the SPI conference and I look forward to next year's event.

Thank you Send Out Cards for the gift.

I meet Tiffany Cline, a great source for Scentsy refills at a local Florida farmer's market.

Local farmer's markets are a great place for photo ideas and to meet new people.

My cats even like the Scentsy candle's scent.

Photo Project Idea

Attend a photo conference to learn new ideas, network, and be inspired. 

I was inspired to do a frisbee photoshoot with a free gift I received from one of the vendor booths at the Shutterfest conference in St. Louis that I just attended last week.

Computer Tips:

I got a new computer.  YAY!  It's faster and there are less computer issues. 

Since purchasing software on CD's has become less common and now a lot of the companies just sell software downloads, it was more time consuming to find all the programs I use and I had to do a lot of digging in my emails and receipts to find the links and passwords to download to new computer.  It has been suggested to  create a folder of downloaded program files to save for next time I upgrade which I think is a great idea to keep my programs organized. 

Photoshop Tips:

Working with Layer Masks

The shortcut to fill a layer or layer mask with the foreground color is Alt+ Backspace.

Create a selection from a layer mask by Ctrl or Cmd clicking on the layer mask.
