SMART PHONES ARE GETTING BETTER AND BETTER. - GNPA ALPHARETTA, GA

At 80, lighter is Best!

Joe Barranco has been, and is now, on a personal quest to find lighter photography equipment for years. Over the last few years, he has begun to realize that our smart phones have become great cameras. Moreover, he appreciates that our phones are almost always with us which expands our opportunities to capture meaningful images.

Smart phones' quality and pixel counts have increased dramatically during the last decade making our smart phones extremely useful, not only as a great backup camera on field trips and workshops, but as primary cameras in many situations.

Joe will explain why smart phones are extremely useful for finding the best composition quickly, in fact faster than a seasoned photographer can setup a tripod.

We are fortunate to have Joe share his learning on how to maximize the use of our incredibly capable smart phones. Please join us for Joe Barranco's enlightening presentation in Alpharetta on November 20, 2024.
