Log InLet’s be honest: our smartphones have amazing cameras, but most of us are only using a fraction of what they can do. If your photos are mostly accidental pictures of your pocket, blurry grandkid photos, or a "storage full" warning, you are definitely not alone. You can change that. Registration is now open for a five-week Smartphone photography course designed to help you master the camera in your pocket, skip the tech frustration, and actually have fun doing it. In this beginner-friendly course, you'll learn how to master the basics, level up your skills and think like a pro. The free classes will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting Tuesday, Aug. 4, at 1 p.m. The class will run for five weeks and end on Thursday, Sept. 3. The class will be in the Extension Conference Room, second floor, 60 E. Court St., Marion. This course is intended for older adults. Space is limited so that everyone gets help and practice. Call 828-652-8104 to register.
