[The-wheels-museum] Fun Events in October at WHEELS

[The Wheels Museum]

WHEELS Museum Coming Events for October 2022
 

 
CELL PHONE PHOTO CLASS with Irene Fertik, Professional Photographer.
Monday, October 17 at 10 AM - noon.
Suggested Donation is $20. RSVP: (505) 243-6269
 
Irene Fertik, your instructor, will start off talking about her cell phone and its capabilities, setting the tone... Then everyone introduces themselves, and their cell phone in a round robin old fashioned style.  
 
 
 
After our introductions, Irene will talk about the 3 essentials of good photography...
                      1- light
                      2- composition with cropping
                      3- the best moment
This will be a hands-on workshop, as we walk around the museum, which has the most spectacular lighting that a photographer could ask for...Its ceilings are mostly panes of glass, in a large factory-like setting. We will explore and photograph with our cell phones, many of the old/vintage machines in WHEELS; learning how to use the light, angles, foreground and background components in each photo.
 
As we become more familiar with what our individual cell phones can do photographically, we will ABSOLUTELY find the right MOMENT to click the button at the bottom of our cell phone screen. We will learn to "play" with what our cell phone camera can do as we are inspired by the settings in the museum. 
 
•            Which camera is the best camera??  Why, the one you have with you at the time!!!
•            In today's world, it is your CELL PHONE, your constant companion!!  
•            I will show you tools to maximize your vision, using the best light, and other components of good photography. You are encouraged to explore your own unique view of the world.
