The great work done by Dr Jack Preger and his charity Calcutta Rescue. http://www.calcuttarescue.org/ http://www.mediafire.com/?xbw3kmtuek4jl8g

Thanks Gary, Glad you liked the presentations, Sightsavers do great work in India, it was a pleasure to work with them. Regards, Derek

Mickp, Thanks, I have worked for several charities in India, it allows me the opportunity to visit small towns and villages that I would not normally get a chance to see. I have also made friends with many of the Indian staff, I hope to visit later this year and perhaps do more work for Sightsavers. Thanks for your appreciation. Regards, Derek

Sightsavers 2, Treatment and rehabilitation. http://www.mediafire.com/?fkivi7d0ij2v2kj

Mickp, Thanks, glad you liked it, Sightsavers do great work throughout India, I have other presentations from their work in Uttar Pradesh and Orissa, will post when I can. Regards, Derek

Rick, Yes it is a shame, at least the cranes were put to good use rather than scrapped. Derek

Ralph, Yes, the song is Big River by Jimmy Nail - repeated to make it long enough, did you spot the join? It was a great job working with the blokes that did the dismantling, loved it, a good excuse to climb all over the cranes! I enjoy working in heavy industry, have had a few jobs working at coal power stations in India (a couple in the portraits presentation) One of the shots won me the Ilford Industrial Photographer of The Year Award in the early 90's, see attached, if I can do it!. I have been to Bharati's new yard on the west coast of India but the iconic 180 ton red cranes have yet to be re-erected, must go back when they are. There used to be hundreds of cranes on the Tyne, now there is just a handfull. At least the Swans cranes were put to good use rather than scrapped. Regards. Derek

Prashant, I am interested to see your presentation bu I can't locate/open it, please advise. Take a look at mine - http://www.mediafire.com/?ti61az9wzb8bpu0 http://www.mediafire.com/?v1fdedvd6n6yrgy Regards, Derek

In 2007 the Swan Hunter Shipyard on the River Tyne Closed. The cranes and equipment were bought by Bharati Shipbuilders of India, during the following year I worked for them documenting the dimantling process. http://www.mediafire.com/?u87d35e17cp74om

Gary, Thanks for the explanation, I get it now. Must tidy up my photos and folders, they are all over the place. Putting all the selected photos in one folder and naming it appropriately helps! Have followed your instructions and it works well. Will post a more local presentation today. Cheers, Derek

Thanks Peter, I understand the process now. Easy when you know what you are doing. Derek

Apparently I 'cannot start a new topic' in the frequently asked questions and How To section so I'll post it here. I am trying to create a smaller presentation (to post on the forum) without altering my original larger one. Have copied the original photos to a new folder and reduced them in size, saved the original presentation with another name, opened it then tried to replace the photos with the smaller ones. When I do this I lose all my original zooms/pans etc. Is there any way of substituting the photos while still keeping all the original settings? - or am I thicker than I think !! The layout of this forum is enough to confuse me! Thanks, Derek

Ralph, Thanks again for your kind comment. As well as India there are also a few from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Burma. I am trying to put up another presentation but having trouble making a copy with smaller sized pictures while still keeping the original (larger) presentation. Will post a question on the forum. Regards, Derek

Mickp, Thanks for your comment. Trying to put another presentation up but I am having trouble reducing it in size as a copy while still keeping the original larger file, will post a question on the forum. Derek
