Celebrate 2018 - December Get Together

Before 2018 slips away, let's get together on Saturday, December 8th from 9 to 11 am. Bring your iPhone, iPad and Mac laptop for questions and discoveries.

Any hints you have on creating a photo book will be appreciated. I want to savor and share my November trip to South America without needing to recharge my devices.

Let's Get Together - Sept. 8th 9-11 am

Greetings Alpiners!

Let’s get together on Saturday, September 8th from 9 to 11 am. Well, if you are in town...

Apple always springs new toys and operating systems in the fall. That might mean you’ll be looking at something new. But don’t rush into a purchase, Apple devices last along time.

Last month Sharon mentioned creating a photo book. Do you have experience in creating a book? Come with your story and an example if you have it. Ellen asked for help fighting the demons of email and restoring purchased books in iBooks. But there were more questions left on the table (as always). All things photos are my passion. This is a drop-in activity, stay as long as your schedule permits.

Of course, come with questions and discoveries to share!

Do you have the free iBook version of Apple's User Guide for iPhone or iPad? You'll want to search the iBooks Store for "user guide" and download the version matched to your device by operating system. The books will cover recent devices.  Why do you want to download the book? Because you can use it when you do not have a cellular connection. You can also find online versions of the manuals at Apple's Support Site

Summer is almost over!

Summer is almost over and it is time for a get-together and get caught up on what's happening in your corner of Alpine County. Or in my case, what is happening under the shade tree ...

Saturday, August 4th, 9 to 11 am. Let's meet in the downstairs meeting room. Bring your questions, discoveries and devices.

Photo Walk - Friday! iPhone & Android

Note the different day! This month we meet on Friday February 2nd from 2 to 4 pm. Meet downstairs at 2 to review camera techniques and settings. Let's go outside for a few shots and then go upstairs to the Music Jam at 3 pm to practice taking pictures of people. (Hint, window backlight challenges our cameras!) At 3:30 we go back downstairs to look at our pictures and open them up in the free Snapseed app from Google to begin editing on iPhone.

This Photo Walk is open to iPhone and Android smartphone users. (Although I do not know anything about Android devices, camera functions and techniques should transfer. The Snapseed app is available for Android devices.)
