Create an Awesome Time Lapse Slideshow

June 9

Wedding and portrait photographer Mark Ridout created this awesome time lapse video (time lapse at 1:25) using a $30 dollar timer off eBay, a bunch of still images from the wedding ceremony and ProShow Producer. Here’s how he did it.

“I used a Canon 30D camera to shoot the time lapse segment. I placed the camera on a tripod in the balcony of the church, then pre-focused to the front of the church and turned off the auto focus. (This is done so that you don’t get slight image movement if the lens decides to focus on a moving person.)

The size also allows zooming and panning in ProShow without quality loss.
