  2. Iceland

    Iceland is now at V4, (Scotland was at V8 by the time it reached the Northern Ireland AV Festival in 2014 to win a PAGB Silver Medal. The judge offered some advice which I have taken this on board and I can now have the final version, for you to see. I'll post it in a new topic).

    I have been showing 'Iceland' and 'Scotland' at the end of a talk I am doing on the club circuit, on 'Ten Top Things To Improve Your Photography' - by way of illustrating the points on composition. I now bring my own surround sound speakers (5) and huge sub woofer. The Iceland soundtrack, deep bass and high trebles, knocks their socks off! The feedback is often simply 'WOW', which is of course very nice to hear but doesn't really help. I have quietened down two sections, which some folk thought was too loud. Still work in progress...

    All feedback, as always, is most welcome. I promise to take it on the chin and not get upset!

  12. Rose of Paradise

    Hi,
    As every year, during the Advent's time, the members of the French forum Diapositif.net  put each day an AV as an Advent Calendar gift.
    Here is my own contribution. Unfortunately, the story is in French. Thank you to excuse me.
     
    Here is the summary :
    During all the Middle Ages, the archbishopric of Sens (60 km from my home) was very powerful : it contained 7 bishoprics, of which Paris.
    This certainly explains why the Sens Cathedral was so innovative, and is now regarded as the first Gothic Cathedral (XII century) with the St-Denis Abbey.
    A transept was added in the end of the XV century. At the south entry (for the bishops) is a big rose window, with Last Judgement details. At the north entry (for the chapter) is a (smaller) big rose window, named The Rose of Paradise.
     
    I tried to describe this magnificent rose in a tale way :
    One day, the designer of the rose, still without ideas (as me !!), falls asleep and dreams arriving in the Paradise. There, he sees 33... ? (well, you'll see !) And with the aid of St Cecilia, St Veronica St Étienne St Peter, and a magical mirror (the reflections become real !) he is now able to draw and paint the screen of the rose.
    And later, in the middle of a Christmas night... But please, see by yourself !
     
    Merry Christmas to you all, and my best wishes for 2016

  14. Scotland

    Easter 2013, I went on my first photography holiday to the Glencoe region and the Isle of Skye with a friend from my camera club. The weather was almost perfect, sometimes we complained that the sky didn't have any clouds! I am used to having only minutes to take my photos, as result of 15 minute rest and toilet stops on a coach trips. On this holiday I had all the time in the world. We left our B&B at 9am and didn't return until 10pm. We had planned and researched the trip meticulously and well in advance. We had everywhere we wanted to visit with GPS coordinates, routes, etc. We didn't worry about waiting for 30 mins for the light to change. Almost everything was taken on a tripod. I had my 2007 Nikon D300 with a Sigma 10-20, and Nikon 18-200VR. I also had my 2009 Nikon D700 with a 24-70 f/2.8 and 70-200 f/2.8 VRII. I also had my iPhone 4, which I used with a tiltpod and 645Pro app or ProHDR app.

    The images in this slideshow contains were half taken with the D300 and half with the D700. There is also one iPhone image, I bet you can't tell which!

    V6 achieved 2nd place and a PAGB Sliver Medal in the NIPA AV Festival 2014. It was the first time a 'Photo Harmony' sequence achieved a medal. The judges were Malcolm and Maggie Imhoff, and it was clear that they were proud supporters of the photo harmony genre. Previous judges often outlined their belief that a sequence with narration was merely a slideshow and not an Audio Visual, and that with good narration and added sound effects any image/music sequence would never win at competition level. The Imhoff's were a breath of fresh air, they considered such 'dictates' as outdated and simply wrong. In his feedback Malcolm suggested that I could improve the sequence by removing the six images in square format. I initially replaced these with only images, but it didn't flow well, so I went back to my raw files and created landscape versions at 16:10 instead of 1:1. This is the final result, I hope you like it.

  16. Inclement Weather

    The images used for this sequence were shot in Scotland during 2008, so you could ask what took you so long. There is quite a gap between what we see with our eyes and what our cameras can capture and despite knowing this we can still be fooled sometimes.

    Fooled into thinking that those flat, colourless raw thumbnails have little to offer. However, come back some time later, in our case 6 years later and you may see those same images in a completely different way to how you did at the time they were taken. In addition those 6 years make a lot of difference to your skills with working through raw images and in those years Photoshop has vastly improved the tools that allow us to bridge that gap between what we can see and what we can capture. This sequence is as a result of looking back.

    I have also used sound effects to try and establish a mood, but whether that as been successful, only time will tell

  23. In a cold Christmas's night

    It's not the real title, but I prefer to let you discover this tale. Perhaps you may guess its story before the end ?

    Note. Each day during the Advent's time, an AV is offered on the French forum Diapositif.net as a present of an Advent Calendar.
    It was my turn the 12th December of 2012. The "12.12.12" has no other meaning for the AV.

  25. ILULISSAT AND THE ICE FJORD

    Icebergs are called Ilulissat in Greenlandic. Ilulissat is the third largest town in Greenland and is set in marvellous surroundings at Ilulissat Icefjord which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here enormous icebergs run aground at the mouth of the fjord, just outside the town, which originate from the Jakobshavn Glacier, one of the most productive glaciers in the northern hemisphere.

    These photographs were taken on a recent visit in early June this year.
