WALKING ON LA PALMA

[Lakelandlass]

A sequence of images taken during a walking holiday by my two sons early February this year on the island of La Palma, one of the Canary Islands, primarily to walk the 'Route of the Volcanoes.

The final few slides were taken in the capital of Santa Cruz at the end of the trip.

Both PC and MAC versions available.

On www.beechbrook.com/pte hosted again by Bill Hines, (and with grateful thanks for your patience, Bill).

Ridiculously beautiful Maureen !!!! One of my all time favorites. Just superb all around. Camera's simply cannot capture what you have presented here. Outstanding. I want in your next photography workshop.:)/> Please tell Mark that he, like yourself, is an outstanding photographer. WOW. Such talent.

It is wonderful that PTE can bring such stunning scenery to us when we (some of us) are unable to go to it.

Up to your usual standard Maureen and a couple of new twists each time you present a show - well done!!

Outstanding! I've been watching for more of your productions. I collect them in a folder and replay them when stress levels are starting to screw up my day!

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Maureen,

What a great AV. Mark’s photography is excellent and, being mainly above the clouds, is unusual for the Platt family.

I thought it was expertly produced with wonderfully atmospheric music. I liked the addition of people to give it scale.

Very minor points - would like to have seen a caption showing the name of the town and “hide the mouse cursor” during show.

Keep up the good work!

Regards, Roger

Hi Maureen what an inspiring AV.Excellent pictures and a well crafted slideshows. A couple of questions if I may please. Are the pictures shot in Raw, and what post processing software do you use?

Thanks

Hi Geoff

Thanks for your comments and yes, the pictures are shot in Raw and processed in Adobe Camera Raw and Photoshop.

Hi Roger

Thank you for your kind comments and I am pleased you enjoyed the show.

It is also unusual for anyone in the Platts family to go somewhere warm!! As for the mouse cursor, I have now sorted but thanks for letting me know.

Hello Maureen, I just watched your presentation on my Mac. Thanks for making a Mac version!! Stunningly beautiful! You did an excellent job in form and function. Photographer is where the skill comes from but always interested which lens and camera used too. Bill

[JudyKay]

You captured not only spectacular beauty, but a sense or feel of the place. I am so fascinated by the islands, I had to research them and now I want to go there! Do you have to be able to speak Spanish? My Spanish is about 2-3 year old level

Thanks, Bill. When I recently acquired the ability to create shows for MACs, I did a few shows. Have to go away for a few days but will send you the links when I get back.

Hi Judy. Thank you for your comments and pleased you enjoyed the show. The islands are very interesting and different. I have been to the islands several times and my Spanish is limited to 'Hola' and 'gracias'. Certainly in the touristy areas there's no problem.

My non-authoritative remark:

There is no doubt that this answer is true, but I have the impression that you are mocking a little bit on us!? I like your images (much more that your sequences), and these images look heavily processed without being over-processed, quite a good work. But just referring to Photoshop does not provide any substantial information.

Just how much information would you like, Xaver? The Raw converter used was ACR, then tweaked, resized and sharpened in Photoshop.

I'm sorry that you don't like my sequences. Perhaps you could put up some of yours from which I may learn to improve. I seem to recall the last one wasn't half bad.

Very best wishes
