Celebrate International Womens Day with the Girls of GoPro!

Celebrating women all over the world, International Women's Day highlights the achievements made by women whose hard work and dedication to their passions inspire others. The talented women who work at GoPro have a wide variety of interests and use GoPro cameras to capture their day-to-day achievements and celebrate their most engaging, passionate moments.

In honor of International Women's Day we caught up with some of our female employees to share insight into how they use their GoPro camera and tips on how to capture better photos and video.

I mostly use my GoPro to take photos in 0.5 second time-lapse mode. I love using the camera when I'm doing water activities and it is always with us on any vacation or weekend trip. It's the best tool for creating fun moments on family vacations because you can make even the most mundane activity interesting when you're trying to get a cool GoPro shot or angle! I love how the photos and videos turn out in water and feel that I can always get a cool, different perspective that no other camera can provide. My ah-ha moment was definitely when Jordan Miller (from the GoPro media team) taught me how to lick it and dip it when shooting in the water a tip for licking the camera lens and dipping it quickly in the water to prevent fogging or water droplets sticking to the lens!

GoPro is an incredible tool to capture all activities, but I really fell in love with the camera when I realized I was able to capture a photo of what I was feeling in the moment. Now I have my GoPro in my purse at all times. I primarily use my camera to take photos, so I would recommend using the time-lapse mode to get the best photos or 1080p30 while shooting video.

Sports Marketing Project Manager

I use my HERO4 Silver anytime I am out doing a fun activity like skiing, SUPing, biking and I always have it with me when I travel because it's super versatile and takes really awesome photos. I really fell in love with my GoPro on my first big work trip in the Galapagos, where we were in and out of the water every day. My go-to photo setting is time-lapse mode, shooting every half-second. That way you never miss a good shot! I am not as wellversed on video, but when I shoot video I typically use 1080p60. The new night lapse mode is also pretty cool.

Mechanical Engineer

I love the water and to travel, so the first time I got to take this camera out in the water I had no fears if I was going to ruin it because of its durability. It was pretty awesome! I use time-lapse mode for all the activities I do. For fast paced activities I do a photo every half second, and for slower paced or indoor activities I will bump it up to 1 photo every 1 or 2 seconds. For video, I often shoot in 960 which is good for general shooting and not running out the battery life. I t may not be the best for our professional media magic but it does the trick for me!

I like to use my GoPro on the motorcycle, mountain biking, and on my dogs. The girls (dogs) love to swim and wear the Fetch mount. The most common video resolutions and modes I use on my HERO4 Black are 2.7k for any first person POV, time-lapse mode for pics, 4k30fps for follow cam shots, and 720p240fps narrow is a fun one to use for any ultra slow motion shots that you want to have a more cinematic feel. My ah-ha moment with my GoPro came when we released the GoPro app. The ability to save photos straight from the camera onto my phone was a total game changer. It's especially cool to pull photos from my camera, color them, and upload to social media all on my phone. Very cool feature!

Senior Producer, Media Production

Back in 2012, I visited my relatives in Brazil which was my first time seeing them since I had spent a year living there and exploring the country. This time, I had a GoPro in tow and it changed the experience entirely -- family photos underwater, body-mounted angles when Paddle Boarding, ridiculous selfies with my toddler cousins. So fun! I love using my GoPro when Im splashing through waves or taking silly underwater photos with my gal pals at the pool. I also love attaching my camera to whatever toy my niece is playing with -- be it her tricycle or the jungle gym. My favorite setting is the 0.5-sec Timelapse with pro tune on!
