Southport Summer Miscellany

[Guest Yachtsman1]

The sun shone this week, briefly. Managed an evening at our Marine lake & an afternoon at the Botanic Gardens, which I've put the results into a short show. After seeing Maureen's recent shows I'm trying to take more care with mine in rejecting what others may deem unacceptable.

I've given up on YouTube & Flickr for the time being, so you will have to download from Mediafire if you wish to view.

Mechanics 48MB, 22 slides 9 video clips (some duplicated). Aspect ratio 16-9, slide size fixed at 1920x1080. The video clips were processed using PTE, Just me on the camera this time, Panasonic FZ150, 2 music tracks edited with Audacity, video sound muted, keyboard control allowed.

Constructive comments welcomed.

the first zoom to the lawnmower is shaky/blurry

the lawnmower video seems a bit fast

the sail boats and rowers also a bit fast - the sails not tight yet boat going fast

no doubt the rowers will win if they actually go that fast

btw

MY AVG stopped a threat first time at mediafire - and sent me back to wnsoft thread-went back to site and was ok

month back AVG got top rating from a mag site MS got 5th i believe

downloads from mediafire seem to be better - less diddling about -if the exe is in a zip

wish my begonia's looked as good

Hi Ken

Just played the show back, no blurring or shaky zoom on my machine. Lawnmower had to walk fast to get finished before the monsoons, Can't do anything about that I'm afraid. Sail boats & rowers, again can't do anything about that, it was blowing a good 5 on the Beaufort scale (fresh breeze 18-24 knots) which we called a yachtsman's gale when we were sailing, maybe they appear fast because I didn't pan the shot.

Finally your begonias, maybe a good dose of bull s**t would improve them

Thanks for looking

Regards Eric
