Fotobug, Elusive Image - Episode 53

Welcome to podcast #53 featuring a discussion on time-lapse photography with programmer, author, and photographer Gunther Wegner.  Gunther discusses talks about his time-lapse videos (Canary Skies, Alpine Skies, and Baltic Skies - available on YouTube) and demonstrates the work flow on his program LRTimeLapse (available for Mac and PCs at www.lrtimelapse.com).  In addition, Gunther has written an ebook on time-lapse techniques also available at www.lrtimelapse.com.  Highly recommended!  Hopefully, Gunther will return to the podcast to discuss his film African Skies which he is currently working on. In the news, photographer Andrew Kane has a bear encounter in Yellowstone National Park and the bear attacked his rented Nikon camera.  Although badly scratched the caemra still functioned, although the tripod did not fare so well.  Also, the ITA may lift the 5.4% EU tax on devices that are able to record video over 30 minutes, Adobe releases the final versions of Lightroom 4.1 and ACR 7.1, and Nikon has firmware upgrades for the D4 and the D800. Also, Aardman animation "filmed" Pirates! Band of Misfits using 50 Canon 1D MkIIIs. Jim will be conducting a one day workshop on digital video in Bushnell Florida on Saturday, July 28 and you can register at www.outdoorphotoworkshops.com.  Also, the workshops and registration have been posted for The BlackHills Shootout for the end of September - links can also be found at www.outdoorphotoworkshops.com.   We hope to see you there! Coming up, more techniques and information on producing time-lapse films including a "shootout" among several new time-lapse devices.  Also, Haje Jan Kamps will be returning to talk about the Triggertrap Mobile app.  Also coming up, a simple DIY camera slider for time-lapse or digital video!
