Last night we welcomed Jo Bradford to talk to us. We had been looking forward to Jo's talk since she talked to us last year and she didn't disappoint! Such a self-effacing lady, so talented in many ways. She has featured in many magazines and on TV (Counrtyfile). Very inspiring - and full of useful tips and website and app ideas. Her website 'Greenislandstudios' is well worth a visit.

She showed us what fantastic images could be taken with a smart phone with a decent camera by showing us many of her images, mainly of Dartmoor. Technology is improving them all the time and moving smartphone photography forward.

A very enjoyable and informative evening, with members from Tiverton and Dulverton CCs joining us.

Some of the apps mentioned by Jo can be found here:
SKRWT - perspective and lens corrections, cropping etc.
VSCO - photo and video tools; used by Jo for B&W work.
Snapseed - photo editing for Android, iPhone phones (and Mac/PCs too).
SlowShutterSpeed - for long exposures.
ProCamera - for taking control of exposure settings etc on mobiles.
