Hi Maureen, Stunning images once again but I'm still not sure about the music i will have to watch it a few more times. Rick

Fantastic show, loved it all and of course the music is brilliant. Rick

Bill PC If you send me your email address to rick235@charter.net I will see what i can do. Rick

Hi Maureen, Great images with a soundtrack that matches the mood of the show, you can almost feel the cold. Rick

Hi Barry, Loved the show and the music fitted perfectly. Well done. Rick

Hi, Loved the show, great images takes me back a few years but did not care to much for the music, forty years ago i used to fish the Seven river system.

Hi Davy, Fantastic!

I am building a new African Wildlife AV show of images taken in 2009 in Kenya and would like to know what is the best way to incorporate vertical images into the show.

Great job Peter.

Hi John, First let me thank for taking the time to watch the show and write your kind words, as we leave today for Kenya it will have to wait until we return before i start our next show but already i have set the crop tool to 2560px by 1600 px my question to you and anyone reading these comments should i stay at 72px resolution or increase to get a better picture because of the size of the crop. Once again thank you for your your remarks and rest assured the next show will hopefully be better. Regards Rick rick235@charter.net

Hi Barry, First of all i would like to thank for your comments and secondly because without your help with your tutorials i would not have been able to produce the AV at all. I do in fact have a wide screen monitor a NEC MultiSync LCD 3090WQXI 2500PX BY 1975 PX but because PTE recommended 1024BY768 that's the way i started to put the show together, i had no idea that PTE could or would re-size the image for other sized monitors. Because this was my fist AV I tried to cram every thing into it, after listening and reading all of the comments i now realize this was the wrong way to go, i will start to make another AV show but this time i will try to correct all the mistakes that i made and will run it by everybody that took the time to comment before i post the show. All of the images were taken in Kenya when i lived their for ten years and in fact most of the images were shot about three miles from my home in Nairobi National Park, this park is missed by most tourist as they normally head of to more exotic places like the Masai Mara, the number of times i have heard tourists say they had seen everything except Black Rhino while three miles away in Nairobi Park there are more than sixty of these animals. In fact this park produced the largest single litter of Cheetah kittens ever recorded (8), sometimes it's a blessing that few people visit this park because I was the only one as far as I know that managed to photograph them and later sold the images and story of their fantastic mother to BBC WILDLIFE magazine. Barry would you mind if on the last image i included the words Tutorials by BeckhamDigital.com. In two days time we are back to Kenya for three weeks to photograph the animals again and because we have lived their and know that animals are like fish in that 90% of the animals are in 10% of the parks hopefully we still know were to look to get the best images. Once again many thanks for your comments and recommendations. Best regards Rick Edwards ARPS.

Thanks Dave, The image of the Wildebeest jumping into the water was shot on slide film with a Nikon F4S, 600MM F4, 2X coupler plus a 1x coupler i was in my vehicle about a quarter of a mile away. when i saw what was happening, the film was a new film that i was testing for Kodak Kenya that never came onto the market. The reason for grouping the animals together is because i thought the viewer would get confused if i mixed them up. About 45% of my work are vertical images that are used for front covers of magazines around the world and then find the only way i can find to use them in PTE is as inserts. A thought that viewers would get bored with a straight slide show but after reading your comments and Morturn's i agree with both of you it's just to busy. Now that i know what is required for PTE shows i will put it into practice when i return to Kenya for three weeks this coming Tuesday. Thanks once again for your well founded comments they are much appreciated. Best regards Rick Edwards ARPS rick235@charter.net

Thank you for your kind observation and yes you are quite correct in that i used animation because i felt that i had to do something. Which slides do you think i should remove. Rick Edwards ARPS rick234@charter.net

This is my first AV show of any description, your constructive comments are very wecome
