The National Memorial 2009

I visit TNM every time I'm in the area. It's my favourite day out when I'm there. I found the name of one of my best 'buddies' from my Army days who was killed on duty on October 6th 1982.

Hi Andrew,

Bearing in mind i'm no AV/photography expert,here's my take on your show.

What didn't work for me was the music.It started off fine, but then it became overpowering and too dynamic.

I really liked the close up shots.There is a great shot of a figure against a dark threating sky.

Pics were good and sharp,but wide shots sometimes a bit busy and bright sunlight marred a few.

The 'Shot at Dawn'Sign with the Blur effect didn't work well for me.Just sort of jumped to a blur.

I would be tempted to slow things down a little,by taking a several of the pics that wern't as strong as the rest

and just increase the time and transitions with those remaining.

Music as we all know is a personal thing.It works for some and not for others.

Maybe something more contemplative than the Enya track would work better.

That's just my take,in the absence of any expert opinions.

Good to see you are out and about taking Photos.We spend too much time behind computers these days.

'Keep on Truckin'and keep the AVs coming.

Thanks Davy for taking the time to review the work. [93 views and not a sound I though it must be perfect or everyones asleep.

Music is so hard for me to get right. I think that's where my main weakness is. I'll have to work on a better selection method.

I agree about the sunlight. One minute it was very dull and overcast the next it was bright as can be, so I was trying some 'into the light' stuff. Not 100% successful.

When I saw the blur on the sign I actually cringed. It didnt work at all, but yet it looked ok in the creation stage. Something to work on there.

I seem to have got into a mind set of around 40 images to display. Dont ask me where it came from it just sort of popped into my head. I have to remind myself it doesnt have to be 'regimented'.

That's gonna be tough.

Thanks for the advice which I agree with 100%.

Hi Andrew,

90+ views and not an expert in sight.They must all be on an extended lunchbreak,or just googling.

I expect to see an updated and less regimented AV from you very soon.

Have fun,

Davy
