III. MONTHLY MEETING TOPICS/CONTENT:

1. Education: A key feature/capability of your iPhone camera will be covered. The "how to's" of your iPhone cameras are presented.
2. Videos: Informative presentations by noted iPhone photo educators will help you improve your iPhone photo skills.
3. Traveling with iPhone: Each month we will visit a popular destination and highlight its photographic opportunities.
4. Photo Editing & Image Management: The Apple Photos app that comes with your iPhone is where your photos are stored. It is also an excellent editing tool to improve the look of your images and to ensure you are able to find and share your photos!
5. Hardware Reviews: The latest iPhones will be reviewed to help you decide which one is best for you along with rumors of what the next edition of iPhone will bring!
6. Subject of the Month (SOM) photos: The highpoint of SIG meetings is the review of photos submitted by the membership. This is a "low-key", non-critical look at what the members have done with their iPhone cameras. The SOM is posted on the Calendar information for each meeting. 

IV. SUBMITTING SOM IMAGES: Participants should select up to three relevant images taken with their iPhones for display at the upcoming meeting. Monthly SOM topics are announced at the conclusion of each meeting. To upload SOM images, click here.  Upload full size JPEG or HEIC images.

 

V. NOTES are posted following each meeting on the SIG website. The Notes include the links to all the videos viewed at the session. Five years of SIG Notes are available for review.

 

VI. OTHER RESOURCES: In addition to the NOTES from past meetings the SIG website also contains:
