Become an iPro: Navigating your iPhone & iPad
So, you have a new iPhone or iPad… now what? Spend 90 minutes with us, and you’ll be well on your way to tapping, swiping, and pinching like an iPro. Learn to customize your phone, adjust basic settings, connect to wireless networks, and access popular features like email, messaging, and the internet. And of course, we’ll introduce you to our favorite iPhone/iPad feature — the camera! Students must bring their own iPhone or iPad.
Scene Modes: Dial in to better pictures
Those icons on your camera — the running man, the silhouette, the stars, the flower — they can help you take better pictures with a simple turn of a dial! Your camera’s ever-useful, often-overlooked scene modes are preprogrammed settings for common types of photo-opportunities. Need a clear shot of a small detail? Dial in to macro mode! Tired of blurry pictures of the kids on the soccer field? Banish blur with sports mode! In this 90-minute workshop, you’ll learn how, when, and why to use your camera’s scene modes. You’ll even come away with tips on how they can add that creative touch to your photographs. Get into class, and get your camera off the green box! A camera is required for this class.
Selective editing in Photoshop — What’s the best tool for the Job?
Having the right tool for the job saves time and results in a better product. In Photoshop, however, knowing which tool to use to select parts of an image for editing isn’t always clear. That’s where this class comes in. In 90 minutes, you’ll gain the knowledge to confidently pick the right tool for your next edit — the Lasso, Magic Wand, Marquee or Quick Mask. The result? Greater accuracy, more seamless results, and a faster editing process — so you can get back behind the camera.

HOW TO SHOOT PAN PHOTOS OF MOVING SUBJECTS
with Raymond Gehman
A good pan photograph is both visually exciting and artistically rewarding. However, it does take some knowledge of the proper techniques, and lots of practice.

He will lead you on a short walk along Clematis Street to a spot that will provide you with plenty of opportunity to shoot moving subjects!

Then, with some practice, you will be panning along with anything that moves!
THE ART OF SPOTTING--USING ADOBE PHOTOSHOP TOOLS TO PRODUCE CLEAN IMAGES
with Raymond Gehman
Let's say you know enough Photoshop to produce an awesome image with proper color, clarity, tonal range, and sharpness. So you're all done, and all that remains is to hit the print button, right? WRONG! We have all learned to easily remove sensor and dust spots while processing our images, but there are still many other artistic techniques that can be used to improve any photograph’s purity! National Geographic's Raymond Gehman will guide you through his approach to "cleaning up" an image. You will learn how to reduce or eliminate distractions that diminish the impact of your work, and how to guide the viewer's eye to the image's focal point. This new artistry will transform your print from an "8" to a "10"!
