Dear members,

We just had a wonderful meeting for our last meeting of the 2009. Creative Crew will like to take this opportunity to thanks all our members and speakers for all your support for the year.  A special thanks to National Library Board for their great support and all their helpful library staff who always go to the extra mile to facilitate our meeting to make it happen. Also thanks to Red Dot for their support too.


Roundup of December meeting
This month is Photoshop month.  We have a fabulous 3 speaker sessions on photoshop by William Aung who give us a series of eye candy photography effects using adjustment layers as non-destructive layers and blending modes to bring out the moods and artistic feel for your photos, and Lynus Hee give us an interesting insights on what High Dynamic Range imaging is about and demostrate using the Adobe Bridge to merge series of camera raw images to turn into HDR photo and showed how we can enhance the rich color information in those 16 and 32 bits photos.  Also we have Sayanee Basu sharing with us on using a free photoshop plugin called, "FiTS Liberator" to create beautiful cosmo imagings that Nasa used for their image processing for their astronomical images. She demostrated using free FITS images found online and combine them using plugin and photoshop actions to transform these static photos into beautiful composition.  You can reference her presentation slides here: http://www.slideshare.net/sweska/colors-of-the-sky

From this site:
http://sixrevisions.com/design-showcase-inspiration/30-stunning-urban-hdr-photos-with-creative-commons-licenses/
"High dynamic range imaging (HDRI or just HDR) is a photography technique that uses greater dynamic range between light and dark areas of a scene than normal digital imaging techniques. In this collection, you’ll find HDR photos that talented photographers have decided to share to the community by releasing them with Creative Commons licenses. The beauty and quality of these photos are absolutely amazing!"
