San Jose Photoshop Users Group - Update

An update from the San Jose Photoshop Users Group.  Note their plans to live stream on Youtube starting with this Wednesday's meeting on "Ice and Aurora Magic" - of special interest for those who don't like fighting freeway traffic to get to their meetings.  You can sign up for updates on Meetup and/or Facebook - see below.  They also have a meeting on April 6 on "Photoshop CC - Advanced Tips and Techniques" (register on Meetup link below).

Hello Photoshopaholics,

Hope you are doing well. I wanted to share some updates about the group with you all.

We now have a Facebook page for the group!
https://www.facebook.com/sjpug 

Connect with us there by pressing the "Like" button and stay tuned for the latest in Photoshop and Lightroom, and for information on any upcoming events. To attend the events, you will still have to sign-up on meetup.com

We've been experimenting with live-streaming videos, and we have good news! Moving forward, we will try to live-stream all our talks on YouTube, if we have permission from the speaker. We will also live-stream the upcoming talk on photographing Ice and Auroras by Tony Prower. Stay tuned for more information.

Thanks again for being such an active group and for all the feedback which helps us improve.
Have recommendations/suggestions/feedback? Shoot me a message on meetup.com!

Best,
Pallav

Hidden Villa

Just scoped out a possible field trip location: Hidden Villa in Los Altos.

Worth going now as the creeks are flowing and the lambs just born. Maybe a good field trip in August.

Here's what's coming up:

March 15, 7:00 pm, Burlingame Library, 480 Primrose Rd

Images of Ireland

Celebrate St Patrick's Day with David Couzens in a journey from historic Dublin, through medieval Kilkenny, along the coast of County Cork, and onward to Killarney National Park and County Kerry in search of panoramic vistas, ancient monuments, traditional villages, and elusive rainbows in the greenest of nations.

March 20, 7:00 pm, Saratoga Library, 13650 Saratoga Ave

Realm of the Habsburgs: Hungary, Austria, and the Czech Republic

  

Follow in the footprints of David Couzens from the boulevards of Budapest, through the Austrian Alps, to the ramparts of Prague castle, and beyond. Tour tiny Hungarian towns along the Danube, climb historic Eger Castle, sample strudel in Salzburg, wander the streets of the Czech story-book town of Cesky Krumlov, quaff the beer in Plzen, and be awed by the architecture in Karlovy Vary in this journey through the former Austro-Hungarian Empire.
