Milky Way Over The Byron Lighthouse - taken last night in Byron Bay. It was not an intentional time-lapse. I was trying different exposures with the same lens and mostly the same viewpoint. Only when reviewing the images did I noticed the light beam angles and made a short AV.

Thank you.

Just getting my head around editing the Insta30X4 still images from Europe to animate it. Once animated, adding a cropped original image in PTE. A powerful message from my visit to Europe that had less impact at capture until I got home and started editing and researching.

The white-faced heron (Egretta novaehollandiae), also known as the white-fronted heron, and incorrectly as the grey heron, or blue crane, is a common bird throughout most of Australasia, including New Guinea, the islands of Torres Strait, Indonesia, New Zealand, and all but the driest areas of Australia. It is a medium-sized heron, pale, slightly bluish-grey, with yellow legs and white facial markings. It can be found almost anywhere near shallow water, fresh or salt, and although it is prompt to depart the scene on long, slow-beating wings if disturbed, it will boldly raid suburban fish ponds. I was lucky enough to spend some time with this WFH as it foraged for food and was less concerned about my presence. This quickly made and short AV helps to share the encounter entertainingly.

Do all the remaining slides have the same duration? If so I would click on all the slides you want changed and adjust the timing slightly or just select some slides? I generally work backwards and choose the slides and make the show, then select music (generally from the YouTube Free Audio Library) to fit the duration. I will fade the music out if it is longer which can easily be done. Audacity is a good free audio editor but it does have a learning curve. Cheers Mark

Thank you it was a bit of fun, especially as Geraldine is normally camera and social media shy.

Thanks Berny, yes my partner is generally camera-shy but we did have a lot of fun capturing and making this AV. Thanks for commenting. Mark

Yes, halfway around the world with more time on internal flights than getting there and back, BUT a great trip. Thanks for commenting.

A short AV using mobile images of my partner from a recent trip to Europe. Normally she is very camera shy but she was happy how this turned out and made her smile. Mark

Thank you, everybody, for your feedback/comments, which are appreciated and food for thought for future AV's. Mark

Thanks Bert, yes that was an issue about the panning, and I have already extended those images. It was a balance between content length and duration. Mark

You can introduce some false colour into IR mono images. It does depend on the wave length/conversion. This is at 70nm and has little visible light colour as such (it stops at 600nm). Unfortunately, a camera converted to IR does not show full visible light. A normal camera has an IR filter inserted at manaufacture that blocks IR light. I have tried a "full spectum" camera (the IR filter in camera was removed and is replaced with a variable wave length IR filter on the lens) but this is problematic with numerous filter sizes and IR wavelength filters. Hope this helps. Mark

Thanks Alex, some images lend themselves to a vertical format due to composition. I did consider not including them, but some were very strong images. Mark

Just back from a 6-week trip to Europe. I visited a lot of places and saw many sights captured with multiple cameras. I need to learn more about 360-degree image and video editing, both in PTE and other applications. This is a series of infrared images from my 4-day visit to Basel. Hopefully, between printing a book of the trip and editing the images from other places, I will make a couple of more AV's in the coming weeks and months. Mark

Thank you It is Broadwater National Park just south of where I live in Alstonville https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/visit-a-park/parks/broadwater-national-park

Thank you I am glad you liked it.

A short AV of infrared images from a visit to a local national park this week.

Nice work, very well done.

A nice selection of the surf and the turf. Expertly composed/crafted as usual. It is a nice place and I've been up there a few times recently chasing the Glossy Black Cockatoos without much success. Thanks for sharing. Mark

Yes, it is a bit of a giveaway and probably needs some Wordsmithing.

Thanks, could have been better with more detailed edits of each image but happy with the result. Great to share the time with nature.

Welcome to this serene moment captured in Ballina, New South Wales, where a graceful White-faced Heron searches for its next meal on the sun-drenched Flat Rock. I was lucky enough to capture this journey on my camera. The images captured on my Sony A7RV camera span over one hour. Watch as this elegant bird moves with purpose, its keen eyes scanning the waters for prey, all while surrounded by the natural beauty of the coastline. Join us as we witness nature in action, right here on the stunning shores of Ballina, NSW Australia.

Thanks Igor.

Objects and Animations Tab in PTE. Sorry for the confusion.

Hello Trevor I am certainly no expert but this may help with your question 1 - In the Project window at the bottom, set the numeric value next to the AB to 0.0 and this will stop the fade. 2 - I did not know how to do this myself but found this info in the Wnsoft Help Files More info here https://docs.pteavstudio.com/en-us/10.0/objectsandanimation_1/animation_tab Hope this answer your question.
