Presenter: Lou Sabo

Lou shared pictures and info about his family and his love of the outdoors - especially outdoors in the winter!

He had us pull out our phones to show how to get good snow pics.

For iPhones, open the Camera app > Settings, and showed us various camera settings. Then within the camera app itself, you can adjust exposure settings. He recommends .3 - .7 exposure so snow is white and not gray. While he admitted he’s not familiar with non-iPhones, he said there are probably similar camera adjustments for those.

Lou also talked about selfies and how to take good ones using regular lens, not the usual one for selfies (not always clean and clear).

To wrap up, he talked quickly about his other photo services: weddings, groups, corporate portraits and events, products and more.
