Davy, I've always requested that anything submitted to Beechbrook be viewable by any family member. Over the years I've rejected less than a hand-full because folks have done their own 'censorship'. You're right... Burning Man would probably not make the 'family list'. But please, do use my services where applicable. Bill

As Ken already knows, Beechbrook.Com contain no advertisement. Never has, never will. It's open to all for their use. Bill

Paul, Great work on your first attempt. Congratulations. Very nice photography, and good choice of music I thought. As others have said, the text was a bit big and a bit to much to take in so quickly. Also, I would have preferred your portraits to be grouped with two or more on a slide at the same time. I think it would match your landscapes better. Overall a very nice show. Thanks for your work! Regards, Bill

Adri, Please advise me if your "Brugge" presentation was not created in PTE. My site is for hosting PTE presentation only. I had emailed you earlier concerning the black windows during your show, and their strange behaviors. Thank you and kind regards, Bill

Thanks Colin. I added a direct link to Adru's show. Appreciate it !

Enjoyed it Mick. I've visited there before, and you've done well it capturing the lovely scenes throughout. I particularly like your shots of the castle framed with the flowering trees. Great job, and nice music to match. Thanks for sharing! - Bill

We are saddened at the loss of Peter. He was a truly unique AV personality. His family is in our thoughts. Below are links to Peter's last two postings on Beechbrook.Com. Colour Wash Your Star Bill

In a word - AMAZING !! Thank you Igor and team for another superior feature, to an already wonderful product. Congratulations. Have found no issues yet with my trials and demos. Regards, Bill

Maureen, Stunning work as always. You make us wait between your shows sometimes, each of us knowing that your next one will be a keeper for sure. You never disappoint !! Bravo once more!!! Bill

Shirley, Version 7 will provide video within slideshows. It is currently under development. Stay tuned !! Regards, Bill

Peter, All responses are correct. I have an IPod 4th generation and have made several of my shows into MP4 format which allows full control just like any MP4 would offer. PTE controls are mute at this point. MP4 on the IPod allows play, pause, stop, fast forward, rewind. Be happy to assist in any way I can. Bill

I suppose network issues somewhere out there in cyberspace. Oh well...

What type of errors were you receiving? I don't see any issues on my system. Regards, Bill

One of the most interesting shows I have seen in quiet some time. Very unique approach. For me, a show that makes me feel like I'm there, actually walking the halls of this grand old building. Great job with the HDR Bert! Hope to see more of your work soon. Regards, Bill

Congratulations Igor, and the entire Wnsoft team!! A wonderful addition to an outstanding product. You continue to amaze us with new features and upgrades constantly. Thank you for your many long hours of work!! Regards, Bill

Jerry, I created an IPOD show from my "Island Colors" presentation. It works great on my IPod (4th Gen). if your're interested, drop me a PM and we'll discuss. Sorry, I don't have an IPAD, but the steps are basically the same. Regards, Bill

Shirley, wife of our good friend Ken Cox, passed away this morning. Please keep Ken and his family in your thoughts and prayers. Bill

Maureen, Beautiful scenery captured as only you can, with a perfect choice of music. Very relaxing and soothing! Thank you. Happy New Year to you and yours. And like others, I look forward to new creations from you in 2011. Bill

Dick, Thank you for the compliments. I trust that we will see some of your good work soon!! (hint,hint) Regards, Bill

Thank you sir! You already know that you are more than welcome to come on down anytime! Of course we might have to exchange houses seeing as your part of the world it quite beautiful as well. Glad you enjoyed the show. Leaves are falling quickly to the ground now. Good thing I snapped them when I did. Enjoy your weekend! Bill

Thank you Daniel. Very kind words indeed! Bill

Good afternoon Maureen! Received your personal email and have replied to it. I want to thank you publicly for your gracious comments and for your continued encouragement. Looking forward to your next masterpiece! Bill

Hello Patrick. Good to hear from you again! It was a good day indeed as I biked around taking the shots. All images were taken on Hilton Head Island, a small barrier island off the coast of South Carolina, USA. We now live on the island. http://en.wikipedia...._South_Carolina Xaver, The show is certainly filled with random images with no particular attempt to exactly align it with the music's rhythm. Hope you enjoyed it !! Just a fun day out. Bill

Mickp, Yes, great stuff out there to shoot. This year particularly. Now that you know where we are... come on down!! You're always welcome here. Glad you enjoyed the show, and thanks for taking the time to watch it. Best of luck with your close-up work. Rick, Good to hear from you again. Looking forward to your next presentation. Have you been back to Africa recently? My decision to make it 1920x1080 was to fit out 52" TV. We're like a drive-in theater here sometimes with the neighbors dropping by to view the shows. Coming from you, a superior photographer, I appreciate you saying my photography has improved. Got quite a touch to go though!!!!!! Thanks guys!! Bill

Greg, Thanks for your detailed assessment of my show. As I posted, it was simply a quick show about the many 'colors' on the island. All of it was captured in about three hours on a bike ride around our plantation. Let me take on your many questions. No suspense intended at the beginning of the show. I often place a blank slide between my opening image and my first presentation image. Just my technique I suppose. As for the Crocodiles... ours are actually called "American Alligators". We don't have Crocs in this part of the world. Why are they in my show you ask? I suppose because they are a part of everyday life here on the island and show that we don't live on 'Main Street, USA'. Sorry for the mood swing in my show. Didn't know I had set any type mood to begin with. The grass image with super imposed images on it was sort of a test. I used the mask tool, probably for the second time ever. Sorry you didn't like it. As for the music... love Goodall's material. Hate to tweak it. Thanks again for the critique. My biggest joy in all of this was being out there and taking the shots. Best regards, Bill
