Alanweb Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 I have added a new show, called "American Fisherman", dipicting a small fishing village in Galilee, Rhode Island, USA. I hope you have a chance to view and enjoy the presentation.Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Alan,I enjoyed your presentation and the "environment", but I find really "bad" to have "cut" the end so quickly !You can use fade out...or title for the end...or as you want for the best.Can you modify that ?Greetings from France !

ralvis Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Very nicely done Alan.I really enjoyed watching your show.I felt very relaxed after the show.Ralvis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alantha Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Hi Alan,I enjoyed your slide show very much. Very nice photos, excellently presented.The music was a good fit too.I agree with Michel about the ending. Very abrupt. Perhaps a final slide saying "The End" and slowly fading would work, or repeat the credits?Also, while I liked the mermaid and anchor, they did intrude somewhat over thefine photographs.Overall, excellent!Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d67 Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Hi Alan I too enjoyed your photos.The "viril" background music fits very well the subject The "hard" end of your slideshow is as hard as the fisherman's life !Thanks again for sharing with us your slides.Patrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickflicks Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 The photographs are exellent. Shot with the proper lighting. Very good composition and colorfull, some of the early morning mist when the fishermen go to see I was expecting.Excellent work! Hats off.

LumenLux Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Alan, my applause for the outstanding photography. Photos about as clear and sharp as they can be, I think. Nicely presented too. I would usually prefer a softer landing at the end of a show - but I was not bothered at all with your chosen ending on this one. I think the visual matched the sound and you probably made your point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanweb Posted March 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 I'm glad that people have viewed and enjoyed this show. The criticism regarding the ending is good and I will now be conscious of that in future shows. Thank you. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveG Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 I found the content of the show remarkable - good photography and an interesting subject. I also found the Mermaid, Anchor and Title of each pic to be unnecessarily distracting taking away from an otherwise excellent show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronwil Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 A beautiful show which appealed to my love of the sea and ships, although I am a poor sailor. The sequence is presented as an album and as such it works well. In my subsequent viewings of the sequence I have shut off my vision of the appendages and captions and concentrated on the images themselves. I was then able to appreciate the quality of each image, with their composition and subtle use of filter effects. More of the same please.Ron [uK] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ContaxMan Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 The photos are good but the extra bits are very distracting - lose them please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinjagoliath Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 In contrast to a number of people, Alan, I actually quite liked the way that you used the mermaid + anchor to frame the pictures...It didn't distract me at all, just helped me find the mood.Sadly not a purist, I too like to experiment. Some times rewarding, others not - but always a learning experience! On the occasion that I can get a presentation or two up on the site - I expect a few tomatoes (as long as they're not in tins, eh )Loved the photos too.. look forward to the next effort!J G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanweb Posted March 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 I accept all the criticisms. I had second thoughts on everything mentioned, but went ahead with the slideshow, because I wanted to try something different. All the critiques are worthy and I agree with everyone's separate opinions. In the end, it was the photos that spoke and everyone seemed to enjoy those. Thanks.Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verhoef Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Alan,Nice and atmospherical show, especially contributing through the music.The mermaid and anchor should be somewhat smaller I think, because they may be distracting with this size. The titles at the bottom give information which is sometimes not necessary. (Just repeating the name of the boat with the extension: trawler or vessel or something like that.) I would suggest to sum things up at the beginning of the show in a first or second slide.I think that the white band at the top and bottom of my screen should be the same color as your blue background or anyhow somewhat less distractive.I like especially the first few slides (black and white and the slide with the white boathull at the right). Consider to change more slides into black and white, because the theme seems to be very suitable for this.Some slides are very cluttered with details, and give too much information...so you can prevent this.. just by going closer to your subjects. (like you did with the gull sitting on the wooden poles).Well.... I hope you will consider these remarks just as positive critisicm and keep on making even better slide shows!!regardsMichel Verhoef.
