Controlling the camera for better control of exposure, focus, shutter speeds, and choice of lenses.

Part 3: Going All In

Panoramic, close up photography, portraits, filters, and videos.

Part 4: Wrapping It Up

This workshop will combine both discussion and demonstration with the iPhone camera.  We will also get out and about and put our knowledge to practical use. This is appropriate for all ages and all levels of experience. We will not only discuss the phone settings, but also inspire and mentor on how to MAKE a great photo, not just TAKE a snapshot!! The phone cameras are wonderful and powerful devices, and we will enlighten you on how to make the most of it. It will be a fun and stimulating class. You will be able to create and save photos that you want to share, and that will help preserve memories of special people, times, and trips.
