# Event Details - **Event Name**: Take Great Photos With Your Smartphone - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 12 Sep, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Sat, 12 Sep, 2026 at 04:00 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: Join us to learn how snap amazing photos with your smartphone from professional photographer Peter Glass!About this EventThe quality of smartphone cameras is improving rapidly. Their capabilities extend far beyond what most people seem to use them for... taking selfies. In many situations, they work quite well as stand-ins for SLR cameras. It therefore is no longer necessary to drag around a big camera because you're afraid of missing that great photo opportunity. A good quality smartphone can work pretty well instead.This is a class for those truly interested in producing first-rate images with their smartphone cameras. That means moving away from the Auto Mode, where control by you is almost nonexistent, to the Manual or Shutter Priority Modes. This puts you more in charge of how the final images will look. And they no doubt will be much improved.Please note: The taking of selfies will not be covered in this class.All the information necessary for taking superior smartphone pictures will be addressed. Topics to be covered include:• Understanding basic photography theory• Identifying and setting the camera controls• Suggestions for handholding your camera• Specific steps to follow when taking a picture• Useful accessories for your smartphone camera• Finding and installing the best smartphone camera apps• What to look for when buying a new or used smartphoneIn addition, you’ll be photographing with your smartphone camera. I’ll be offering feedback – helping you get more comfortable with the operation of your camera and offering suggestions for improving your image compositions.A very complete handout will be given to you when you arrive. It contains lots of information, and will greatly simplify the process of understanding what is being taught in class. In addition, the handout will allow you to spend less time taking notes and more time listening and participating in class. You also will find it quite useful for review after the course has ended.Presented by Peter, of Peter Glass Photography, an award-winning professional photographer specializing in commercial, corporate, and editorial photography.
