Jetpack has a pretty robust Image slideshow feature. (If you don’t know, “Add Media” button > “Create Gallery” > Choose photos > “Create new gallery” > Change type to slideshow in “Gallery Settings” > “Insert Gallery”)
Make sure you have “Compose using shortcodes to embed media from popular sites” enabled in “Settings” > “Writing” > Composing section of Jetpack settings.
Jetpack’s handling of photo’s captions doesn’t work well with long captions (as it overlays the caption above the photo). This plugin modifies the layout so that the caption is displayed below the photo and the slideshow expands to accommodate.

Slideshow Captions for Jetpack

Modifies Jetpack's default slideshow caption feature.

hornament

Plugin accesses the caption shortcode via <code>add_filter( \'img_caption_shortcode\', ... )</code>.
By default, image authors are read out of the description of the respective image. Therefore, they have to be tagged in a specific way: 
In the description of the respective image, accessible under ‘Media’ > ‘Edit’ > ‘Description’, the image author (or multiple image authors) have to be wrapped in <code><author></author></code> tags.
If there are no authors in image description, the plugin tries to read authors from the image’s Exif information. If successful, image authors are automatically saved into image description.

fla_Image Caption

Plugin to insert image authors automatically.
