Mick, What a great day out! Looking forward to returning to that area in the near future. I appreciate your efforts on behalf on those who lost so much that same day. Regards, Bill

Colin, What a wonderful and refreshing look into your country! Great photography and music with spectacular glimpses at such vast landscapes. Congratulations, and thank you for sharing! Regards, Bill

All the best for a delightful birthday Guido. Congratulations on your seventieth !! Bill

Jeff... so good to hear and 'see' from you again. Your "Dunes and Arches Country" presentation is superb, as are all of your shows. You consistently capture the beauty of the areas you photograph and find just the right piece of music to accompany your images. Congratulations on another fine presentation! Hope your health continues to improve and that we get to see more of your good work soon. Regards, Bill

Rick, Thanks for your kind comments. Makes me believe that I should take the first one down. Perhaps if I could find some time I could remake the first one. Your guidance has been a great help. I appreciate all of your assistance. Maureen, Very kind of you indeed. With your help, along with Rick's, perhaps one day I'll be at the level you have both obtained. Remember, I said one day! Ken, Thank you. OK mister salesman... can I use you as my agent? Guess I could start offering photographic posters in return for website donations. Gayland, Thanks. I'm glad that you enjoyed it. Thank you for taking a peek. Best regards to you all, Bill

A later look at Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge as nests are built, eggs are laid and new chicks begin to arrive. Best viewed at 1920x1080. Run time 2.15 minutes - 14 Megs. Pinckney - Revisited Regards, Bill

Just a simple travel log type show giving the feel of the island. Nothing fancy here at all! Cruise ship departed Charleston, SC bound for St George, Bermuda. Run time approx 8 minutes. Bermuda 2009 Bill

Outstanding photography, and a wonderful presentation as always. You keep the bar raised quite high Maureen! Your images make me want to pack my bags right now and head back across the pond. Thank you for sharing and please keep them coming !! Regards, Bill

Hello again Rick. I've been waiting on your next PTE show. As for my Pinckney... it was a great day out and the resulting show was just for fun. Your suggestions are appreciated. Thank you. Yes, I do know the rule of thirds, etc., and follow photography rules occasionally. I'll drop you a note so you can give me some pointers though. One can never have enough of those. Bill

Thank you Andrew. Come on over. You wouldn't believe the birds!! Bill

Hi Danial, Thanks for your kind comments. This presentation was just a quick view of our day out on Pinckney Island, and certainly not intended to be perfect. Some images were cropped and I just didn't take the time to match them up with the others. Thank you for taking the time to view it! Kind regards, Bill

Some images shot during an afternoon at the Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge in South Carolina. Show runs approximately 4 minutes and is 31 megs zipped. Certainly not for competition, but for the beauty and wonder of nature alone. Pinckney Island Regards, Bill

Sensational once again Maureen. Where are my backpacks ? I'm got to get out there. Thank you for sharing your photographic talents and skills with everyone. You are a superior photographer and I enjoy so much receiving emails from my server advising me that you have posted yet another presentation on my site. Regards, Bill

Brian, If you are using Internet Explorer you can find the direct link to your shows on Beechbrook by hovering over the image or the download link itself and reviewing the information provided in the lower left-hand corner of your browser. Hope this is helpful. Regards, Bill

Hello Dan, If you'll permit me, let me respond to your suggestion. Please understand that I am NOT being critical of your good suggestion. I would applaud the use of direct links myself!! What Ken offers in his reply is quite true. There are various search features on Beechbrook.Com to help locate files. Although some PTE authors provide a direct link to their shows, my take is that they are a bit more familiar with how a particular site works. This was Brian's first upload to Beechbrook.Com, and I look forward to more of his good work. Perhaps next time he can provide us with a direct link. Until then... here it is: British museum Mar 2010. And one final thought... even the most savvy among us may not choose to provide direct links to our shows. As with any feature, option or knowledge gained about a site, it is up to the individual as to what they choose to use. Again, I'm with you. I just wanted to offer what I think sometimes may happen in our posts. Kind regards, Bill p.s. Love all your gardens. Job(s) well done !!!

Mark, (et al.) When forum members (and others) choose to upload their creations to my site, I provide a feature entitled "Author's Notes". In fact, this feature was suggested by a visitor several years ago. It is in hopes that PTE authors will utilize this area to include just the kind of information you are referring to. Some use it, others do not. Personally I find it very informative when a presentation includes this information, as well as any additional info the author wishes to provide, i.e. cameras/lenses used, the location where the images were taken, music, etc. Although this feature has been offered for a long time, few use it. Best wishes for a successful campaign. Regards, Bill

Colin, FYI...Rick provided the ability to pause his show and move forward/backwards, so if you run it once again you can have more time to read for details. Bill

The author requested that I post a message on this forum about his new creation. After recently returning from Africa, Rick has upload his newest presentation entitled "The Beauty of African Wildlife Continued". Stunning, and sometimes chilling images throughout this show. Bill

Maureen, Thank you for sharing a part of the world that many of us may never see! Your choice of music, matched with exacting camera white balance, scene composition and image sharpness, reminds me once again why your creativity remains at the very top in professional standards. I applaud you on an extremely pleasing presentation. Maureen's presentation can be found here. Bill

Mary, Francis posted this on Beechbrook.Com yesterday. Francis sent the first presentation in the new year to Beechbrook. Yes, it is quite amazing !! Regards, Bill

Noel, Choose one of the available option from the drop down button entitled - "Auto hide mouse cursor after:" You can find this button by choosing the "Project Options" button and then the "Advanced" tab. Regards, Bill

Davy, I have tried various methods and also mentioned countless times to uploaders to please inform others of their presentations on my site. People will do what people will do. Note my "Authors Notes" section. A great place to tell others about their shows. Sadly, only a few ever use it. I wish the PTE Forum did have an automated method of posting links or announcing shows that are posted on other websites. Your suggestions was mentioned once before. However, I don't know of any such feature. Earlier in the year I did create an RSS feed that you can subscribe to which provides presentation information. You can subscribe to the feed on any of my download pages. Here is the original thread: http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=9623 I welcome your suggestions. Regards, Bill

Smooth as silk for me too Lin, using my Sony Vaio Core 2 Duo T6600 2.20Ghz laptop. Tons of work!! Thanks for showing us just what PTE (and your skill level) can do! Regards, Bill
