Presentation:
This presentation, “Basics of Time-lapse Photography”, is an introduction to using your camera to create a time-lapse through a series of still images. Karen Smale will cover how to plan, shoot, and edit your time-lapse. You’ll learn from her mistakes, so you won’t have to make them!
She will discuss suggestions for good time-lapse subjects, what equipment you’ll need, how to choose your settings and time intervals, and what post-processing options are available to remove flicker and create a professional-looking time-lapse.
If time permits, Karen will demonstrate some of the more common tools for post-processing including Lightroom and Photoshop, iMovie (for the mac), and LRTimelapse, which is made specifically for this type of photography.
Bio
Photography has always been a passion for Karen Smale, ever since she was given a camera as a kid and taught some of the basics by her father. Raised in Wisconsin, Karen’s family’s summer vacations to beautiful landscapes like the desert Southwest and Rocky Mountains, allowed her to learn composition in inspiring environments. Now she finds joy and a sense of calm in exploring the world through a lens, not just looking at it in a documentary sense, but also by creating abstract images through macro photography and intentional camera movement.
Karen’s work often focuses on nature, and she strives to create images that are unique and compelling. She’s particularly fond of obsessing over the details of the plants or architecture she encounters while others might just take in the bigger picture. Karen is attracted to the beauty in the mundane and strives to make interesting images of everyday objects and environments.
When Karen is not doing photography, you can find her singing a cappella with her band, The Chromatics, and – having recently retired from a career in science and IT – traveling with her husband to out-of-the-way places around the world.
Karen Smale is a photographer based in Maryland.
A Q&A session will follow the presentation.
