Hi Daniel,

Very good presentation and the music was spot on. I enjoyed your effects and the portrait pictures were superb.

Thank you for sharing.

DANIEL

great show - pictures right on colour and contrast

your subjects very natural -- do not look posed

I enjoyed it too. Well done!

The Xperts I know caution against too many different kinds of transition in one show. It this sequence, I think the diversity worked very well, added interest and the inclusion of 'rotating' portrait shots as objects in landscape backgrounds was excellent.

Thank you , Colin, Ken, Jeff !

No pretention to be an Xpert !

But if , from time to time , I am abble to interest people , it is a great satisfaction for me .

Each year , with a friend , we do a slideshow in a little village of wine productors ; two dozens of productors open their cellar in november and friends , family , visitors by teams of four or five persons do a "rally" with questions about history , wine ,and other subjects .... and a great dinner at the end of the day !

In february , other great dinner ( more than two hundred persons , all the capacity of the room !) and projection of the slideshow ; no chance for a competition, but people is happy to see friends , himself or his house ; we try to do a correct show , with sufficiently effects to animate , and each year , one or two practicants more for PTE ...But too much Mo to put it here !

Thank you for your kind comments .

Hi Daniel,

I thought this show was great.

You capture the atmosphere well, with very

natural looking Photos.

Keep up the good work.

Well done,

Who says you shouldn't use animation?? A brilliant example of where it enhances the show. Well done.

Thank you Eric and Davy .

I am not a fanatic of animations for animations , but if it help me , I do not have any apprehension to use them .

As you say , Yachtsman1 , if it enhances the show , I do !

A great show. Excellent photography and the animations worked really in this particular sequence I thought. It just shows that sometimes "the rules" can be ignored. I will definitely be keeping this one!

Daniel,

I really enjoyed your slide show, in fact, I watched it again immediately after the first.

I was impressed with your clever use of the various transitions and the inclusion of 3d effects.

I must mention your 'people photography' - the pictures are pin sharp and well composed. Each photograph managed to capture the essence of the scene perfectly.

Out of interest, what camera do you use please?

An excellent example to us all, on just how it should be done!

Very well done Daniel!

Ronnie West.

Thank you , Ronnie ...

As camera , I have two old 400 D bodies .

My dream is a Full frame with not so px that the 5D to use grand angular lens , but Canon does not seem to think about it ...and the future 60 D . Maybe Christmas surprise ?
