Special note: Today’s session is a continuation for those participants who started on June 1.

The mobile photo safari is designed to encourage the use of your own photography for course-related materials and activities by exploiting the ubiquity and convenience of mobile devices. For you and your students, mobile photography presents new opportunities for community connections. The two-part session will include a photography lesson, photo assignment, and photo shoot on campus and Main Street.  You’ll work with your own mobile device to post-process images, tag and catalog, and post online. The event is intended for iPhone, iPad, Android, and Windows Phone owners.

June 2: Photo lesson and photo shoot
In this second hands-on session, Jon Cox will illustrate the key principles and techniques for taking better photographs in general and on mobile devices in particular. The group will embark on a walk-about around campus and on Main Street for you to hone your new photography skills.  Back in the classroom, you’ll edit your best images and upload to your preferred photo sharing site, finishing up with showing our work in a group critique.  Selected images will have the opportunity to be shown at the afternoon session, Five Minutes of Fame.
