I did reply on this, so 2nd try..

Original starting with the boat coming across the screen!

But...the speed of the pictures and the transitions are too fast comparing to the slow tempo of the music.

So.. less pictures would be better. The pictures also could be more saturated and/or have more contrast.

Some horizons are not horizontal and can be adjusted in photoshop.

With some adjustments this show could be much better.

succes!

Thankyou for the critique.

We need more people to comment on

the shows. I am sure everone who

does shows would like some feedback.

I would agree the speed is too fast

but IMHO the show speed and music speed

are not that important to the show.

As far as the saturation and contrast I

think that oversaturation and oversharpening

is the norm now and it is not the true image

that we are seeing. One can go to www.photosig.com

and see what I mean.

I am guilty on this count but I only do heavy

processing on raw images not jpegs.

Anyway enough rambling. Thanks again

for taking the time to voice your

opinion.

PS.

When I got home from work I looked at the images for the show and I had

used my preprocessed images from the wrong directory. Hello McFly.

I have changed the music to more modern music which also slows the show down.

Give it another try.

Ok, I looked again at the show; it has much improved with the funky music and the speed is also correct now.

Because I am self a photographer and a member of a photoclub I always pay attention on things which other people might overlook (like sloping horizons, image compositions etc.). So that's the reason I gave the advise in my previous comment.

By the way I could not find your presentation on beechbrook.com. Will it be posted there?? I myself have posted some shows there, maybe you like them.

I will correct the perspective angles for you and

post it on Beechbrook and have a look at some

of yours.

Thanks again for the help

Hello Michel

I too have been a photographer for many many years, also a judge for both Photographs and audio visual shows so I know what you mean when you look at sloping horizons. I always called them 'uphill water' and people soon learnt to correct this fault. Very often the attention to small points can make the difference between something which is good and something which is worth many more points.

I downloaded your first version and had similiar feelings, now I will download you improved version in the light of both yours and Michels comments.

Thanks Mike for your comments.

As you can tell I am not in the same league as

you 2 guys are for photography. I will pay

more attention to the horizon from now on.

I think on the 16x9 format the horizontal is

even more evident than when running full screen.

I will change the horizons on the Sechelt show and

hopefully you can check out my future shows and

leave me some feedback.

Thanks again
