Smartphone Photography Series – Online
Tuesdays from 10 – 11:30 AM on October 5, 12, 19, 2021

Photography can add so much to our lives by recording and sharing special events, places, family and friends, and most importantly, our cherished memories. It can also be a wonderful hobby, as it gets us out and about, keeps us busy and creative, and enables us to continue to learn, grow, and enjoy life.

Join us in this 3-lesson class to learn about some of the most popular types of photography (Portraiture, Candid, Landscape, Nature, etc.), best practices to improve your photography skills, tips and techniques to enhance the quality of your photos, and photo editing to adjust/enhance your most important photos.

Lessons 1 and 2 are followed by a free and optional Photo Workshop, where you can discuss and learn from each other’s photos. Following these sessions, an optional photo sharing workshop will be scheduled, based on student availability

Lesson 3 is all about photo editing, using the Apps on your smartphone, and a third-party App named Snapseed. Even though you may be taking great photos, you will learn how to adjust or enhance your most important photos, making your best photos perfect.

Windows 10 Browser:
Moving from Internet Explorer to Edge
Monday, October 4 at 2 PM

The number one reason to stop using Internet Explorer is that it has major security issues. It is far more susceptible to hackers discovering your security software. Once they know this they can attack your computer without you ever knowing. Also, most websites won’t run on the old, outdated, and unsafe Internet Explorer.

We know it’s easy to stay with what you are comfortable with and we’re going to make this simple and fast for you to switch from Internet Explorer to Edge, which is Microsoft’s new modern, safe, and privacy-oriented browser. Join SeniorNet’s free webinar to make the switch and start surfing the web with confidence.
