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.

Open Enrollment is an annual period of time (October 15 through December 7) when current Medicare users can choose to re-evaluate part of their Medicare coverage (their Medicare Advantage and/or Part D plan) and compare it against all the other plans on the market.

Each year, insurance companies can make changes to Medicare plans that can impact how much you will pay out-of-pocket-like the monthly premiums, deductibles, drug costs, and provider or pharmacy “networks.” Research shows that the average consumer could save $300 or more annually if you took the time to review your current Medicare coverage.

You will want to explore this trusted site and share with your friends and family members. Time is of essence.

He is the recipient of the Global Teaching Excellence Award and was twice awarded the Board of Governor’s Innovative Teaching Award from the University of North Carolina.

Dr. Perry is a former military officer and also has experience in counterintelligence, risk analysis, and threat assessment. He has presented at a number of national conferences on the topic of information warfare and worked as a contractor for the Director of National Intelligence.
