Photography Walk

Going Beyond Snap Shot Photography with your iPhone Camera
Mary Louise Ravese, Bella Vista Photography

• Friday, July 21, 2023 – 10:00 am–12:00 pm

The smartphone is the camera many people have with them at all times. The camera integrated with these phones has advanced with each smartphone generation, making it worthy of our attention as a legitimate camera. In this session, you'll learn about basic iPhone camera functionality like focusing in a specific place, adjusting brightness, shooting in bursts for action and adjusting background blurriness in portrait mode. We will then practice in the gardens of the Arboretum.

This class is suitable for iPhone XS, XR or newer iPhone models.
