Time Lapse book : 4 thumbs up! I’ve been in photography since I’m 15 (so that’s almost 30 years .. gosh !!), and I’ve tried many things.. but your book gave me that kick I love so much in photography, there are new exiting things I can try and do, and you just made me not only discover it, but also WANT to do it… really badly :)

I just wanted to take a second and congratulate you on that great eBook. I bought it last thursday and by the end of sunday i was done with it. Very good book, great information and the way you explain it makes it a really easy to learn process. Just wanted to give you your props for the great book.

-Tomas

Just what I was looking for to get started with time-lapse photography. The book provides easy to follow steps for setting up, taking and then processing time-lapse photos. There's also a nice comparison of various pieces of equipment and software along with recommendations and tips that I found very helpful.

-K Mahone

I’ve read straight through and am most impressed with the amount of information written in such concise readable fashion. You are to be heartily congratulated on the book, I am really highly delighted with it and feel quite inspired. I can’t wait to get started.

I have been a serious landscape photographers for several years and only now am getting into time lapse photography. But I needed help in the area of processing my video so I downloaded this book. After looking at the table of contents I thought I would breeze through the first half of the book as I knew enough about setting the camera up. I was very surprised that there were many tips and ideas about setup, flickering ect that I didn't know. The book is well laid out and easy to understand. I saved a little money by doing a digital download and now have it on my Ipads. So I can take it with me in the field if needed. In a nutshell if you are wanting to do time lapse this book will be more help than you might think even if you are an advanced photographer. I would buy again and if you want to do time lapse you need this book. It is a bargain at the price.
