#5 is Creating a Slideshow Fast!

I have learned how to create slideshows fast and accomplished number 5 of  2011 Photography Goals! One more off of the list! 

The first time I decided to create a slideshow it took me hours to  complete a basic slideshow, because I was learning the software as I go along.  I learned by trial, error and help from Youtube. I also had to learn how to save it on a DVD. So others can watch it on a TV. It took me 5 dvd's to get the process right.  

After learning how to create a slideshow with my images, I learned how to add video to a slideshow. Adding photographs and video in one slideshow looks amazing. The first time I added video to a slideshow with my images it looked funky. I learned the quality of the video and the photographs did not match. Because I used a FlipVideo to capture the action and used my Nikon SLR camera for the photographs. Then when I combined the to works of art, they did not mesh well, the quality of the photos was higher then the FlipVideo recording. From this experience, I learned to use a better video recorder. One that will match the quality of the photographs. 

Adding music to a slideshow sets the tone and plays an impact on the mood of the slideshow. When adding music you can have the photographs transition to another photograph by the beat of the music.

By completing this goal I feel that learning how to creating slideshows brings my photography to another level and allows me  to showcase my work in another form!
