Nostagia

[Barry Beckham]

It was way back in 2002/3 when I was writing and recording tutorials for Digital PhotoFX magazine, later to become Digital Photo in the UK, that I created a video introduction to PicturesToExe. I made a video that introduced PicturesToExe and showed how to put a slide show together. The slide show that featured in the video and introduction also featured on the magazines cover disk. Just for information I did this in my spare time as a hobby, having NEVER earned a living from photography.

While doing some web work in the past few days I found the slide show and played it. Its small by todays standards, but the techniques used are still very relavent now and one or two were innovative, or they were at the time. Its 10 years old and I have uploaded the slide show to make it available on a web site I am working on. Its PC only of course, although I am sure I still have the project file on a disk with all the images.

It can be downloaded from the link below for anyone interested

Hi Barry,

you certainly put PTE's capabilities to good use way back then.

Im sure many would love to produce a slideshow of that quality today.

Masks, png, everything, including great photography.

I really enjoyed that very much

thank you

Hi Barry,

Very enjoyable. Some things change with advancing technology and fashion but good photography is permanant and shows through.

Hi Barry,

I do remember this AV very well and thoroughly enjoyed watching it once more. The techniques used are as good as you see on many many AV.s these days with all the new animation etc available.

You were ahead of the game then as well.

Hope you won't have occasion to take pictures of the fires that Australia is suffering at the moment. Bribie Island was mentioned Barry and that is where you took Alex and myself a couple of years back......Very close to home.

Take care

Anthony

Yes, I doubt we could get to the place we took you because of the fire, but it is a natural occurrence out here as you know. Not a great consolation for those whose houses are damaged, but the land soon bouces back. We had a little rain last night, so lets hope that helped them at Bribie Island.

This was how it looked a few weeks ago and even then some fires were affecting the sunset I think. This is Bribie just a few hundred meters from where we went.
