Basic Photography (Camera & Phone)

This will be a “guided hands-on” class, where we will walk around the Library’s garden spaces, taking pictures.  While there will be some photography *accessories (supplied by the Makerspace) for all to use, participants will be expected to bring their own Cameras/Phones.  This program takes place outside (in fair weather), so dress accordingly.

Marc Dunlap (the Makerspace Tech. leading the class) will be available for general guidance, help with the provided *accessories, and assisting with some basic “tips-&-tricks”.  If you plan on using your Cellphone/Mobile-Device, you may also seek some help with “light editing” of your images.

  • If you have questions about this program, please email Marc Dunlap at mdunlap@mfplibrary.org
  • For editing help – You may also want to check out these YouTube videos in advance: LINK1 / LINK2
    • *This is not a promotion of these videos, nor does it mean the library agrees with or condones all content within the videos; these are being supplied for personal educational purposes only.
