Class Content: Smartphones have become the camera of choice for most people. But, as smartphones have become more powerful photographic tools, they have also become more complex. We will get you through the complexity barrier.
In the 2 half-day sessions on “Smartphone Photography”, we will provide a comparison of Android and iPhone photography features, an explanation of the types and use of lenses available in smartphones, an explanation of the difference and significance of optical zoom vs digital zoom, how to effectively use different photographic settings (portrait, landscape, panorama, video, etc), image composition and photo editing tools.
You will learn professional techniques for taking significantly better portrait, landscape, travel, close-up and panoramic photos!
