August saw a return to a topic we touched on in June: digital photography. In June, we started with the most basic question: what the heck do you do with all those digital photos pouring in from Apple Mail, Messages, Gmail, the web, and who knows where else? But while organizing photos (and then using the organization to find and use the photos) is a critical skill, it isn’t the only critical skill you might need. Also of use: knowing how to take a photo.
There are lots of ways to take digital photos. You can take photos with a traditional film camera, then scan them and turn them into digital photos — but that’s a lot of work. We skipped that, and instead talked about the easy methods: using an iPhone, iPad, or (shocking idea) a digital camera to take a photo.
There was a lot to cover, and we will, someday, have a Part 2 to talk about things we left out. Until then, the video of the meeting shows a wide range of photos, and talks about how they were taken, using digital cameras, iPhones, iPads, and other devices.
