ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Erdal CabaI retired in April 2017 after 40 years in nuclear power. I immediately put a majority of my time into photography which has always been a passion of mine. I became a member of TAG, Columbia Camera Club, Carolina Nature Photographers Association and most recently CCAL. In December 2017, I was accepted into the Village Artists Gallery in Sandhills where my work is still on display. The gallery has a classroom in back which I wanted to take advantage of. I saw a big hole in the knowledge of the iPhone camera features and applications, editing and basic photography principles. I noticed that even professional photographers struggle with this using their smartphones.
