Smartphone Photography
Although the session is stated as iPhone, the techniques are equally valid for Google and Android smartphones.
Chris Atkinson’s iPhone session last year was very popular and he’s back with fresh material. He has access to more training videos and this year, they will include information on how to hold the iPhone for sharp photos; the iPhone feature for perfect focus; setting the correct exposure; and two short videos on creative pano photography and on taking stunning silhouettes.
We have members who use the smartphone as their default camera and they produce some outstanding images. If you’d like to find out more, please do get in touch. You don’t need to heft a large DSLR to get something from our meetings.
We welcome Ben Nichols to talk about drone photography.
The talk will give details of the types of drones with cameras, highlight the Civil Aviation Authority rules for safe drone use.
Ben will bring some drone equipment with him so members can have a look and ask questions during the mid session coffee/tea break.
As mentioned at recent meetings at the Library, it is planned to have a club photoshoot at Orford on June 19th.
More details will be announced at the May meeting, but the outline plan is to arrive early afternoon and meet at a pub to be decided, in the early evening. Details including car parking and costs will be advised also at the May meeting. In the unfortunate event of very poor weather, we can meet at Aldeburgh Library at 19:00 where an alternate presentation will be available.
Members are encouraged to take as many photographs as they like of whatever subjects take their fancy. There’s plenty to photograph – Castle, harbour, boats, cottages, Church, village centre etc. Note that the area surrounding the Castle is free to roam, but the Castle is administered by English Heritage, so there will be a cost to enter.
