May 23          Program Meeting – KATE SILVIA – SMARTPHONE PHOTOGRAPHY

 

This presentation will introduce you to the art of using an iPhone or other mobile device for photography.  I will discuss different methods of image capture, as well as provide advice on tools and “extras” to help with your mobile phone photography.  I will discuss and demonstrate a wide variety of editing apps, from the basic to the extreme.  Her are most of the apps I’ll demo.  You do not need to download these unless you would like to follow along.  Some of these apps cost money and you may not use at all so don’t buy stiff before seeing it in action.  I will demo other apps as well…but haven’t decided which ones at this point.  The app demo will be recorded in the interest of time.  I may demo the apps on my iPad so it’s easier for people to see what I’m doing.  But they are also available on the phone.  Shooting and editing on the go has become so easy and fun!
