Seminar: iPhoneography: How to Take Really Good Pictures with Your Phone   

Who doesn’t take pictures using a smartphone? Let’s make our pictures as good as possible! We will discuss smartphone photography, image editing, color adjustment, sizing, use, and distribution. Lecture with PowerPoint with image examples, hands-on demonstration. Participants must have a smartphone with a camera. The course will lead participants through capture and image editing choices, with the pros & cons of each in discussion. This program is being presented as a seminar with limited enrollment to foster discussion.

LECTURES:

1. Intro to smartphone possibilities, proper orientation, steady hands, attention to light, and after-image adjustments using your smartphone software. Homework for those interested, three images to share that have been adjusted as demonstrated. Most importantly, experiment and have fun!

2. Flower Photography! What’s more beautiful than flowers? And who doesn’t like flowers? Discuss natural lighting, what to look for, and how to use sunlight to your advantage. Homework:   Three flower pictures. Expect to explain what you did to get the picture.

3.  People in the landscape: Discussion on design and natural lighting with people, interiors or exteriors. Everyone takes pictures of family and friends... let’s make them better! Homework: Three images of people, your choice of location.

4.  Final Show & Tell: Bring a few images you have created during the course to show the techniques learned. Final opportunity for a Q & A.
