This notice from iNaturalist invites you to attend their upcoming webinar on this subject. You will need a free iNaturalist account to register.
Smartphone cameras are great for taking photos of your friends, your food, and yourself, but what about the insects, plants, spiders, and fungi you want to post to iNaturalist? How do you get it to focus on that small piece of grass, or a flighty moth?
Join us on Tuesday, August 4 at 9:00 am PDT for Smartphone Photography for iNaturalist, a free webinar with Tony Iwane (Director of Community Support) and Arya Natarajan (Sr. Communications Manager). We’ll share tips and tricks for getting the best nature photos you can out of your smartphone, and then posting them to iNat.
Even if you can’t join us live, please register to receive the recording!
We’ll cover:
- The best way to approach an insect
- How to photograph the different features of a plant
- Getting the underside of a mushroom
- How to quickly post your batch of photos to iNaturalist
Whether you joined iNaturalist last week or have thousands of observations already, you may find this webinar helpful. Clearer photos mean faster identifications, more observations reaching Research Grade, and better data for the researchers who use it.
Hope to see you there,
The iNaturalist Team
