Your iPhone is always with you—ready to capture the moments, memories, and vistas that make life extraordinary. Learn to use it with creativity and confidence!
**What to Expect**
9:00 to 11:00: The first half of the session will be held upstairs in the House of Happy Walls where we’ll discuss and demonstrate:
**Settings & Controls** – Exposure, focus, shutter speed, and filters
**Creative Techniques** – Panoramas, macro photography, close-ups, portraits, and video
**Artistic Vision** – Composition, storytelling, and maximizing your camera’s creative power
11:00 to 2:00: We’ll step outside and put our skills into practice in the perfect setting—**Jack London State Historic Park**, where the landscape and history provide endless inspiration.
You’ll leave with stunning images, newfound confidence, and a deeper understanding of how to make your iPhone photos true “keepers.”
Meet the Instructors
Susan and Neil of silvermansphotography.com, a husband and wife team have been “captured” with photography for over twenty-five years –(teaching, leading workshops and working professionally in many venues).. Not only do they lead their own photographic tours, but they have taught for the Santa Fe Photo Workshops, Gualala Art Center, Santa Rosa Junior College, Pacific Northwest Art School, Pt Reyes Field Institute, Great American Photography Workshop (GAPW), B&H Photo, PPC, PPWC, WPPI, Better Photo as well as many Photo Clubs and organizations. Sharing knowledge, experiences and camaraderie is as meaningful as “getting the shot”. Their work has appeared as the cover of Outdoor Photography, in Elle Magazine, der Spiegel, Sierra Club, the Cure, Audubon, Nikon World, Press Democrat, San Francisco Chronicle and many more.
The Silverman’s are living on the North Coast and they enjoy teaching no matter the level of experience or equipment—be it camera or smartphone camera.
As photographers they realize that the light reveals itself in meaningful ways— on the camera, as a visual awakening, as an awesome moment in time and as a kindling of spirit and soul.
