It's long been said that the best camera is the one you have with you. Most of us have smart phones with impressive camera features.  There is an incredible opportunity for you to learn to be a whiz by registering for ‘Photography ~ HOW TO TAKE A PERFECT PHOTO WITH YOUR PHONE’ being coached by Eva McDermott. This opportunity will be meeting on Zoom on Thursday, December 3 and 10 from 1:00 – 3:00 PM. We will explore ways to capture stunning photographs of various subjects with our phones. This two-session course will cover smart phone camera features, creative techniques, composition, and light. One should have a basic knowledge of the operation of their phone's camera but advanced features is not required for this course.

About the Presenter: Photography has been Eva's hobby and passion for many years. Her current focus of work is seascapes, landscapes, and nature abstracts using both film and digital cameras.

Her photographic journey began when she was a teenager bought her first camera, a 35mm Minolta range finder. Much of her initial work was cityscapes near where she grew up near NYC and NJ. Having grown up in the urban landscape, she longed to spend more time in less crowded, natural spaces and thus developed a love for the outdoors, hiking and photographing.

She is a Landscape Gallery Moderator for Nature Photographers Network. You can view more of her fine art photography work at her website https://www.naturephotographers.network.
