Take Great Photos with your Smartphone

The quality of smartphone cameras is improving rapidly. In many situations, they work quite well as stand-ins for 35mm cameras. Therefore, dragging around a heavy camera, hoping not to miss that great picture opportunity, is no longer necessary. A good quality smartphone camera may 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​

A very complete handout will be distributed on arrival. It contains lots of information and will greatly simplify the process of understanding what’s being taught in class. You’ll also find it quite useful for review after the class ends.
