Today’s smartphones have cameras with capabilities far exceeding what anyone would have imagined a decade ago. With movies being shot on iPhones to professional photographers capturing their own impressive work using these tiny marvels, the power of these all-in-one devices is astounding.
We all use “Auto” mode but join Mike Croley at this workshop to learn about more detailed settings, framing, using the “Pro” mode, and the tips and tricks to truly unleash the ability of your smartphone.
All set at the beautiful Black Mountain Overlook trail with our variety of wildflowers, sweeping vistas, boulder fields, and uninterrupted views of the Tennessee River Valley – there will be no shortage of moments to capture.
Some Things to Keep in Mind:
–Wear appropriate shoes for hiking.
–Dress for the weather/temperature.
–Bring extra water (and snacks if needed).

newsBob Richards – Bob’s Trails, Trees, and Gardens
Meet Bob Richards. He owns Bob’s Trails, Trees and Gardens. Bob is a long time supporter of the CTC and for our last volunteer event he pledged $1.00 for every foot of trail built. The volunteers built 775 feet and Bob rounded his gift to the CTC up to a cool $800.00!!!!
BUT WAIT! Bob isn’t stopping there. He is throwing in $200 to help feed volunteers for the next Volunteer Trail Building Event to be held June 10th & 11th!
AND HOLD THE PHONE!… Bob is once again committing to donate $1 for every foot of trail completed during the next volunteer event!
NOW Bob challenges YOU to join him!
WANNA BE LIKE BOB? You or your company can also pledge any amount of money per foot of trail built during volunteer events. Bob is pledging $1.00 per foot, but pledges of all sizes are gratefully accepted. (The CTC carefully tracks volunteer productivity so you can give confidently). Flat donations are also welcome.
Join Bob in challenging your friends, co-workers and hiking pals to match your gift.
BE LIKE BOB!!!
