Take Great Photographs with your Smartphone

The quality of smartphone cameras is improving rapidly. Their capabilities extend far beyond what some people primarily use them for... taking selfies. In many situations, they work quite well as stand-ins for 35mm cameras. It therefore is no longer necessary to drag around a heavy camera to avoid missing that great picture opportunity. A good quality smartphone camera can work almost as well.

This class is for those interested in producing high-quality images with their smartphone cameras. That means learning and understanding the camera controls as well as when and how to use them. Doing so will put the photographer in better control of their camera. And that will mean significantly improved photographs.

Please note: This class will not cover the taking of selfies.

Everything necessary for taking great smartphone pictures will be addressed, including:

• Learning how to use the camera controls on your specific smartphone
• Basic photographic theory
• Discussing and, if desired, installing other smartphone camera apps
• Suggestions for hand-holding your camera
• Specific steps to follow when taking a picture
• Useful accessories for your smartphone camera
• And, how to compose your photographs to produce truly wonderful results

In addition, a very complete and useful handout will be distributed in class.

Don’t forget to bring your smartphone (with a charged battery), battery charger, and any accessories you might have.

We will be meeting in the café at the Glastonbury Barnes & Noble Bookstore. A Meetup sign will be on my table. Should you need to contact me, my cell phone number is 860-712-7098.

Please note that no refunds are allowed unless the seminar is canceled. Also, switching from one seminar to another is not allowed. I need to know the exact number of attendees in a seminar to determine whether or not I can afford to run it.

Thanks.
