The iPhone has become the camera of choice for many people with its availability, ease of use, and its increased quality. It is the perfect tool to explore and photograph gardens.

This course will look into the innate abilities of the iPhone in the garden, as well as additional apps and tools.

We will look at the floral landscape, flowers in the context of a garden, and the posture or attitude of flowers. What makes it compelling? We will explore macro photos and multiple exposures with your iPhone. You will learn how to make a floral still life and bring meaning to an arrangement of flowers. We will also explore layering and collaging within your phone for a more personalized “feel” of your garden and flower photos.

You will learn about using the Portrait Mode to control your aperture and depth of field. Try mastering apps, like Snapseed, to enhance your photos. And we will learn what options are available for sharing and printing your imagery. What can you do with those images once you have captured and manipulated them?

The course will meet online, using gardens local to you and Zoom live.
