Field Trip - Part 1

I believe in practice. In our class it will be practice using as many buttons and features as possible on our iPhone. We will look at three apps - Apple Camera (AC) and ProCamera (PC) maybe SlowShutter (SS).

Review Cheatsheet page to confirm Camera settings https://rsiphonephotostudio.blogspot.com/p/cheatsheet.html?m=1 

Your iPhone should be fully charged. Tripods are not recommended (maybe tabletop ones will be ok). Bring a jacket or vest for lunch if we eat outside. Bring accessories to demo at lunch. 

We are going to the location as a group of photographers and not as a family visiting a venue (which would distract from attention to camera use). However, our practice adventure will help you get memorable photographs for future family outings. 

If you get half the shots on both lists you are a champion!

Quick access to Apple Camera 1) button on Home Screen or 2) wake iPhone then swipe right-to-left on lock screen. 

After opening camera app, tap on screen to set focus on subject, move slider up/down to set exposure. 

Shot List - Part 1: Ideas for what to photograph and what camera to use: 

Ideas for what to photograph and what camera to use: 

1. Building exterior, identify the location: exaggerate the architecture using a wide angle lens, but also the other lenses so you can later compare; AC
2. Line up for entry: how far back in the line are you, how fast is the line moving, close up of ticket; Live mode on AC, Macro on AC (pay attention to the background for best blur) 
3. Are there stairs or an elevator, one of your group poses still: use SS to capture scene where people are in motion but some structures/people in scene are still 
4. Glass walls or cabinets: put iPhone flat against the glass AC wide lens
5. Glass walls: put iPhone edge against the glass to get subject and reflection 1x lens
6. Moving objects behind glass: use AC video mode and shutter button to capture still photos while recording video
7. Look at interior ceiling for interesting angles or shadows: HDR B&W PC
8. From overlook of scene: AC and use all lenses - pinch to zoom in also
