Using Apple as Your Photography Platform
Shooting on an iPhone provides artistic freedom with a small, powerful camera that is always with you. The iPhone provides high technical quality -- your images are sharp and true to what you see and shoot. After you shoot, the iPhone and iCloud sync and make it easy to develop your iPhone images on any Apple tablet or computer. At the end of the process, you get excellent results for prints or digital display.
This class will cover the Apple platform to expand your artistic intention in photography. We will thoroughly explore the Apple Camera modes, controls, features and limitations. We will use the Apple Photos app to develop the image, export image files, and manage your image collection. We will also set image resolution and file size and convert Apple image files for exhibition prints or digital sharing. This 5 week class will cover shooting with your iPhone, storing and retrieving images, developing and editing images, exporting, resolutions size, printing and more.
