We begin ... February 7th

“You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” 

― Maya Angelou

Bring your iPhone and iPad fully charged with apps from Day 1 and Day 2 downloaded. Do you know how to make Screen Snapshots? This is a handy feature to know. Not just using camera and editing apps, ask Marilyn why she uses screenshots.

We will use many camera apps and many editing apps. There will be cross-over features. Some single-purpose apps are elegant in their simplicity vs a behemoth kitchen-sink app that brings an iPhone 6 to a crawl. We will process photos through several steps (apps) saving work back to the Camera Roll as we go. We will learn more about iPhone and iPad features because Cameras and Photos features leap across barriers.

Two good references, and free, are the iPhone and iPad User Guides found in the Apple Books Book Store. I find it easiest to go to the Book Store Search tab and type "user guide" to see the current offerings. Then touch See All and the full titles with iOS references appear. As of Spring 2019, we are at iOS 12. Please share if you have discovered other ebooks on photography.

Class begins on February 7th at the Community Room of Fair Oaks Library, 10 am to noon.
Fair Oaks Avenue at Madison Avenue, Fair Oaks, CA
11601 Fair Oaks Avenue, Fair Oaks, CA 95628
[Starbucks on the corner ;-D]

Next week I will send you an email invitation to join the Studio Spring 2019 Shared Album. This semester I'd like you to practice with PicCollage and Diptic apps showing your workflow to achieve the final image. Sharing the work you do on photographs using iPhone and iPad apps is an important part of this class - and sharing our creativity!

Spring Semester begins soon

Hello everybody! Our seminar begins on Thursday, February 7th and we just meet six times. B.U.T. we still have fun creating and sharing through the wonder of Apple Photos Shared Albums for six months.

I've just collected a recent set of our work into the Collage Gallery posted to YouTube. This semester I will emphasize using PicCollage, Diptic and other apps that let us show multiple images as a workflow or as the finished photo/art piece before posting. That means I'll be recording new demo videos ASAP.

Review our past work in Spring 2018 Sample Gallery and 2017 Gallery iPhone Photography Seminar.
