Introduction
Thank you for downloading GoPro Camera: 30 Amazing Lessons on How to Use the GoPro Hero 3+ Cameras and Take Beautiful Photos
. This book will help you learn how to master the most remarkable camera ever invented to capture action photos and video. More importantly, we are going to go in depth on the popular phenomenon of adventure photography and help you discover the way to make sure all of your adventures are documented and shared with those you love and care about.
––––––––
Our culture has embraced photography in an unprecedented way in the last decade. The pastime of landscape photography was steeped in art. The family ritual of taking pictures at gatherings was meant to document the passage of time and provide mementos to loved ones. In a way, adventure photography is the joining of the documentary function of photography with the artistic sense of landscape photography. In as much as we can capture both the beauty of our surroundings and our place within them. This is the natural evolution of photography.
––––––––
When picture taking spread to mass users of personal cameras, it was a means of capturing important moments forever. Digital photography gave us pictures and video on demand. SmartPhones put a high quality camera in our pockets. GoPro photography has brought us adventures beyond tabulation and instruction into skills that previously required one-on-one interaction. This revolution is the latest trend in photography and shows no sign of slowing down. Even astronauts are catching GoPro fever by submerging a GoPro in a sphere of water on the international space station.
––––––––
GoPro is the hottest trend in adventure sports and reality TV. Their cameras give YouTube stars the ability to document their lives or better capture the stunts they are performing. For a culture that thought it was saturated with pictures, the GoPro phenomenon has ushered in a new type of picture.
––––––––
In the chapters ahead, we are going to review how all of this came about. To begin, we will cover the basics of using your GoPro Hero 3+. But from there we will explore four scenarios for using a GoPro and getting great pictures as you do. Then we will wrap up with some pointers to ensure you steer clear of the occasional problems users encounter with the GoPro cameras. With that you can begin the more important process of experimenting with your camera and making the most out of your investment.
––––––––
Learning is a hands-on process. You will derive from this book what is possible, but only through your own practical application will the lessons spring to life and become a part of your skillset. So I encourage you strongly that once you finish reading, grab your GoPro and try these tips out. You will find that practice solidifies the lessons taught and allows you to creatively build on the knowledge I share.
Remember, these cameras allow you to creative capture the world around you. I can instruct, but only you can truly master this, because only you understand the vision you seek to create. With that in mind, let’s get started with a quick review of the GoPro Hero 3+ and what it can capture.
Chapter 1 – About the GoPro Hero 3+
GoPro Hero 3+ cameras are unique. They are popular because users can take video and still photos of the most amazing things. Unlike traditional cameras these marvels go anywhere and see everything you do.
They are powerful because they last as long as you do. These cameras offer superior battery life and lots of easy recharging options. They give photographers and action sports enthusiasts plenty of time to get the perfect picture or clip.
––––––––
For these and many other reasons, GoPro Hero 3+ cameras are ideal for getting action and sports shots. Movie buffs or pro videographers know about the variable frame rates and high resolutions. They quickly picked up on the new Wi-Fi and smartphone app functionality. They fell in love with the ability to control as many as five GoPros with a single phone or tablet.
––––––––
Now it's your turn to discover the majesty of the GoPro's workhorse cameras. What makes them most appealing is the endless fun you enjoy. That's why it adorns cars, bikes and boats. People wear them on helmets and clothes. It's your turn.
––––––––
Let's begin by showing where GoPro Hero 3+ models fall in GoPro's historical and technological context. GoPro was founded on a desire to do something common in a new and innovative way. For GoPro's founder Nick Woodman, that something was capturing surfing photos.
––––––––
What began with surfing pictures spread to cars. Wrist straps became mounting harnesses. And now thanks to other passionate innovators, you can stick a GoPro onto anything that moves.
––––––––
Now comes the Hero 3+. The top of the line model for that family is capable full motion video at resolutions up 1,920 by 1,440 pixels and full-HD video at HFR rates of 60 frames per second.
––––––––
In that sense, GoPros outpaced most all other consumer electronics. Cellphones went from flip phones to smart phones. Tablets replaced netbooks which diminished desire for laptops. GoPros went from film to digital, from standard definition to HD, from 24 fps to 60.
––––––––
The Hero 3+ is smaller and lighter than any they have made before. It possesses amazing image quality. Best of all, it's remarkably simple to operate.
––––––––
The camera's small form factor makes it innocuous. Once you insert it into its plastic housing does it become recognizable as the ubiquitous camera. GoPro wisely packages options that enable waterproofing, high quality audio and even 3D video capture.
––––––––
What makes the Hero 3+ stand out is their consistency. Previous iterations were less intuitive and friendly for new users. The days of cycling through endless menus or getting an extra to provide a viewfinder is gone.
––––––––
Probably the nicest feature on the new models is the WiFi connectivity that lets you use your SmartPhone as a viewfinder. Just download the GoPro app, sync the device and boom, you're watching the live feed off your GoPro.
––––––––
Best of all, the settings
