Cell Phone Artistry–Tips, Updates and Apps

IMG_7163

The best camera is the one you have with you, and that certainly applies to our smart phones. Astounding pro-quality photography is possible with these little devices, although there are still a few limitations. We’ll cover basic cell phone camera techniques and some of the dozens of fantastic apps that are out there.

Bring your fully charged phone, your phone password (so you can download apps as we go along), a snack, your great “eye” and a sense of fun. We’ll be mostly indoors except for maybe a playful stroll with your camera phone in the vicinity of Viewpoint. Any skill level is welcome.

An extensive hand out will be provided for each attendee to take home.
