Main Meetings

Digital Cameras and Basic Photography
Thursday, February 2, 2012, 7:00 p.m., White Plains Middle School, Room 261, White Plains, NY

Note: This is a revised program from that originally shown here

Learn how to take better pictures using your camera‘s functions and symbols. Do you ever wonder why pictures don‘t come out the way you see them? It‘s because there is a difference in how your brain and eyes see versus how the camera sees the same thing. Using basic photographic principles, knowledge, and techniques, you will get it right. Join us to learn how. For more information contact debmeisels@gmail.com.

Presenters: Allan and Heather Turnbull

Android
Thursday, March 1, 2012, 7:00 p.m., White Plains Middle School, Room 261, White Plains, NY

Betsy Heerde and Deb Meisels will cover some basics in the use of Android smartphones and tablets. You'll learn how to download apps, what the weird-looking QR code is and how it makes Android usage so easy, and lots more. Well, come with your questions and your smartphones.

You'll go home with a list of useful and / or fun apps compiled by Betsy and Deb. If you have a smartphone now, you can scan the QR code at the right for practice.
