Hello, Firstname
 
Wednesday 15 July - Zoom
 
Next Wednesday, 15 July, we have something a little different. The talk is being given by Nigel Goldsmith and will be called The Selfie Help Workshop. The clue is in the title and the evening is in effect an on-line workshop.
 
The modern smartphone is a highly capable tool for capturing photographs and video if used with care. This practical online workshop is aimed to help you to understand and exploit the potential of the smartphone for capturing high quality photographs and video.
The workshop covers; focus control, exposure adjustment, supports and stability, special effects such as live picture (iOS) and panoramic pictures, accessories, video and sound recording.
 
As this is a practical workshop, to maximise the benefit of the session, you will be advised to collect some common objects and items for some of the activities. Either find a small white object and a white background (sheet of paper or sheet) and or a dark object and a dark background. A 3-4 meter length of string may also be useful.
