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.

presentation contact
