SEEKING TECH-SAVVY BOTANICAL APPS

Actually, we are seeking people who are tech savvy with botanical apps and perhaps could give advice on taking better botanical photos with electronic devices.  We know there are several apps to help identify plants and trees and even apps to help identify birds by their sounds.  With the accessibility of electronics we also know that people are more likely to capture images on their phones.  SO, we are looking for someone who might enjoy meeting with us to teach us what they know about botanical friendly apps.  This could be an indoor meeting at FLCC in November 2018 or March 2019.  Please let us know if that somebody might be you, or perhaps somebody you know.  Please send an email to canandaiguabotanical@gmail.com.  THANK YOU!
