Snap Smart: Maximizing Your iPhone Camera
Sat, May 18We will meet at the Red Barn for instructions, discussions and demonstrations–covering the basics and delving into the fine tuning of the camera and taking photos with the iPhone. All smart phones are welcome, but we do demonstrate on the iPhone.
All renditions of the iPhone are welcome and all levels of experience with photography or with the iPhone camera are welcome. We will have a chance to get outdoors and practice what we have been demonstrating.
The Basic Outline of the Class will be…
Part One – Getting Started: Gaining control over your camera with basic settings, compositional considerations,
Part Two – Diving Deeper: Controlling the camera for more control of exposure, focus, shutter speeds, choice of lenses
Part Three – Going All In: Panoramic, close up photography, portraits, filters, videos.
Part Four – Wrapping It Up: Artistic considerations, some great apps for fine tuning images and creativity
Susan and Neil Silverman, a husband-and-wife team, have been “captured” with photography for over 25 years – teaching, leading workshops and working professionally in many venues. They have taught for the Kelby Photo Conferences, Gualala Arts Center, Santa Rosa Junior College, Pacific Northwest Art School, Point Reyes Field Institute, Great American Photography Workshop (GAPW), and Better Photo, as well as many photo clubs and organizations. Their work has been published both nationally and internationally. Sharing knowledge, experiences and camaraderie is as important as “getting the shot.”
