I decided out of curiosity to put together a slideshow with Lightroom and Photoshop. Here's the result, with music by a friend of mine. I hope some of you enjoy it.

    Watched it! Seen most here but saw them blown up for first time.
    The once that I had not seen before, the snow covered horse buggy and rusty truck and close up of green leaves, totally brilliant! Also loved the moonlit hills in black and white. Hope we can find some pov like that here.
    In some of the others, that i had seen before, once blown up, you could see hint of noise here and there...so more masking etc.
    Great as always!
    Cheers!

    Thanks for watching it! Video doesn't do great things for image quality, but life involves compromises.

    I did this a month ago. Persnickety as I am about image quality, I was depressed that the photos in the video weren't as sharp as the stills, so I dropped the idea. Recently I ran it past a friend who told me that lower image quality was normal, so I decided to share it.

    I have been holding off, but this stayed up too long. :D

    Everything is good except: :cry

    The music is slooooow..........calm.....thoughtful..the images fast like bunny late for the all you can eat carrot buffet.

    Try slowing the transitions from image to image, maybe a nice longish (timed to the music) fade in and out with the image viewing time based on the music.

    Them's me thoughts.

    Sam, I'm sorry you held off. I always I appreciate criticism and suggestions, although I don't always take the suggestions.

    You may well be right that the image transition is a bit fast. I was thinking of today's slow attentions spans when I did it. Syncrhonizing music and images is a much more complicated task and beyond my software. I selected the music in part because it didn't have a regular beat, which would have created expectations of synchronization.

    I appreciate the feedback.
