Requiem for a Tower

Brisbane has grown up. It is a lovely part of the city but very hot in summer. Nicely put together, especially like the shorts in the Felons sign.

I love to see slide shows that are interesting and Barry's shows always have a new edge.

The photography is beautiful and the quick cuts and music was a perfect combination.

Thanks for showing Barry.

Considering meaning of the word "Requiem" it's sounds more like a Requiem for that old bridge, probably old world, to me. 

That nice opening shot points to that. 

Done very well.

Thanks

Wonderful photography, aided by the music and transitions.

I agree with digartal and find the blinking sign very intriguing.

The images were shot within a 3 night stay just beside the Story Bridge in Brisbane. I made the effort to be up at dawn to make the most of the light, but also at dusk too. I confess I was not shooting with this AV in mind, but ended up with enough images for it to be considered.

The images were shot and created in June 2024 and an AV was started at the time, but I couldn’t find music that inspired me or an approach that encouraged me. So, I sat on the project for around 4 months and when I came back to it,  I found something to get me started. I have quite a few images that I discarded because they just didn’t fit in as well with the rest.

It was all helped by the great PTE AV Studio software of course and when I first joined a camera club in 1975, an AV was the first thing I saw. Twin projectors and film back then, but I recognised the perfect way to be able to display more of the images we shoot. It’s a shame more camera club members don’t display their images in presentations via PTE.

The problem of course is the effort necessary to make an AV with impact. It takes a fair bit of time and patience that many are not prepared to commit. Before you saw this, I probably saw it 50 times, or more.

Thanks for the positive response. I’m getting to the age where I need all the encouragement I can get.

A very clever and entertaining show, Barry. Thank you for sharing it with us.
