LOCATION: Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University
SPEAKER: Tom Polakis
While much of nature appears static during the short time frames in which we observe them, photographic time-lapse sequences bring them to life. Speeding up these slow movements allow patterns to emerge that often have interesting explanations. This presentation will feature time-lapse videos created by an SLR, a planetary webcam, and a CCD camera, with subjects ranging from the Earth’s rotation to changes in deep space.
Tom dazzled attendees with an hour of exciting photos and information regarding the challenges and rewards of time-lapse photography. His well prepared and professionally delivered presentation created new interest in another area of observing that will be long remembered by our club members and we look forward to further interaction with Tom and his Astronomy Club.
