Diane- Introduced Robert McCandlish: "The Camera in your pocket" Presentation:
Here are some highlights: Robert showed sections of the I Phone Class he had taken and was able to share with us. Beginning with How to HOLD your phone, Stay Steady, hold phone close to you, support elbows, inhale-hold breath and shoot. Move camera icon to front your screen - makes it faster to shoot! Clean off camera lens, use shutter buttons to shoot, use camera on tripod to keep from moving, good for group shots, Focus - demonstrated several techniques, locking focus, zooming in to set focus then returning back, never take shot in zoom mode (will be blurry), setting exposures - tap on screen and swipe up/down for lighter/darker images. This is only a piece of what was shown tonight - please check out the recorded meeting on our website. Excellent, educational demonstration of how to improve each of our cell-phone camera photos!

Diane - Certificate of Appreciation given to Robert McCandlish.

J. Filangeri - Set up a shared album "Photo Club for Media". Members can submit photos to be shown in the "SCS Link" magazine and "SCS Living".

"Quick Bytes" by Don Le Heup
Discussed the 3 "C's" - Contrast, Color, Clutter. These can be used often to enhance your photos. No matter what kind of a program you have, adjusting the light, or color changes to constrast the subject & this can make all the difference! Don showed us flower and sheep enhancements that made each image
better!
