Adda Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 I was a few days in Roma.Home again, I created a show with V5 Beta 3.No special effects.Just a foto-show with zooms and little pans (93 pictures in black and white).But I feel clear the advance compared to PTE V4.If you want to download it in the next days, here is the adress:http://www.pte.dfotos.de/roma_bw.zipThe size is about 133 MB. So, you need urgently DSL.Best regardsAndreas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ContaxMan Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Thank you for sharing this show with us. I enjoyed it a lot and felt that the mono images are very effective, particularly the interior shots with beams of light.I'm fairly sceptical about the value of pan/zoom as anything other than a gimmick, but your show is a revelation in the way you have used vertical panning to emphasise the height of buildings. This technique is very effective indeed.It's a pity that you've ended up with some rather bland skies. I wonder if some of the images would benefit from a little darkening of the skies in Photoshop?Thanks once again for giving us a very effective demonstration of the potential of PTE 5.

alrobin Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Andreas,I enjoyed your slideshow very much! At first I thought I would be disappointed in seeing only B&W images, but your show demonstrates that Rome is a city that lends itself very well to B&W treatment. And, you certainly captured the mood and beauty of the city - especially with your night shots. I spent 6 or 7 weeks in Rome a few years back, and this show brought back many fond memories. Thanks so much for sharing it with us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lmoreels Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 I agree it is very nice. some of the effects, especially the vertical pans will improve a lot with an accelerate and a slow down ad the end.(as it will by in the finall version )I think control of speed is importend in a show like this.Luc M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnwnjr Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Although a Junior member I have been making Audio Visuals for over 30 years. I too am a bit doubtful about too many pans and zooms although yours are tastefully done. I liked the music - very suitable but why oh why did you not arrange the pictures to end with the music. The Photography was excellent and I would be interested to know Camera/Digital or Film. The exposures were superb and composition very good. I noticed a slight jerk when some of the pans started. Would it have been better in colour? Was it shot in colour and reduced to B & W? That is not to say that it was nice to have something different in B & W! Thanks again for making it available. John.

ContaxMan Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Although a Junior member I have been making Audio Visuals for over 30 years. Great - you sound like just the kind of person we need here. I'll look forward to learning from your long experience as I'm sure that traditional techniques & approaches must have a great deal to offer the digital worker.

John.The music was too long for the number of slides.So, i had two alternatives:1) increase the time of each slide. But I hate so long times, because i feel it bland/long winded (?)2) insert more pictures. I have more pictures from the journey, but not all are adequate fot B&WCamera: (only) Canon Ixus 400 (4 MPX).I didn't took my Nikon D70 with me, because the Ixus seems better for this job for me in a town like Roma and for a trip with other people and little time to take pictures.I shoot all pictures in color mode and degreased saturation to zero in ThumbsPlus. Then I increased lightness and contrast.Sorry for my bad english.Andreas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnFeg Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 I was a few days in Roma.Home again, I created a show with V5 Beta 3.Andreas, Watched your show today. I liked it very much and it brought back many happy memories of time spent in "the Eternal City"However, for one shot in particular, I really would have liked just a little more time to soak up the lovely play of light you captured in the Pantheon.Congratulations.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
