“PhoneOgraphyGet the Best from that Camera in Your Pocket”
Presented by Sandy Freed and Michael Koole
Are you comfortable with that powerful camera in your pocket? Our first program of the year will dive into ways that you can use that camera more productively. We will learn about basic iPhone and Android camera operation and how the software and camera settings impact your images. Learn about third-party apps and even discover how to move your photos into editing software like Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop.

Our session will be led by Sandy Freed who has been selling Apple products for over seven years, and Michael Koole, a long-time Android user.
We look forward to seeing you!
