From the Bolivian altiplano to the Mongolian steppes:
Any different eyes ?
Really?

In this video, I show some of the steps of an exercise, to transform a flat image to a polyhedron.
It is not a tutorial, nor is it fully adjusted

I have taken from the movie "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", rated as the best western ever filmed, its sequence of the duel in the cemetery, considered the best scene of all time and I have mixed it, using PTE AV Studio , with the magnificent performance of the film's theme by The Danish National Symphony Orchestra.

I'm reworking some older adventures at a higher level visually and hopefully creatively.  I hope you enjoy these redo's.  I'm hoping that more folks will come back and post some shows. In the past there were several folks that posted. Where are all of you posting these days? Anyway, I love this place and I will keep posting.

The images in part 2 are quite wonderful to me. Governor Basin is probably my favorite spot that one can drive to...as long as you use 4 wheel drive. And just below is Yankee Boy Basin where folks from all over come to take photos and paint all the lovely flowers and mountains that are present. It's just a fantastic spot on our lovely green planet. 

This is a complete remake of an earlier show. Now that we can use video at a good quality and compress it enough to not worry too much about how much megapixels used, I can make an entirely different show. Lots of fun for a guy that can't get out and shoot new footage. That will change soon for all of us.  Also, newer software can now enhance the quality of the still images as well. I'm very pleased with this new show. Keep in mind it is a one week adventure with my pal Coolhand Karen and Sammy, our 4 legged pal.  The show is in two parts. I hope you like it.

Hello,
 
The making-of :-)
I had the chance to visit Brazil in its inner part in 2019 and got to travel to the sertao.
The conditions there can be very rough, and the people adapted as they could.
 
The subject
This story presents Cicero in his environment and daily tasks. It shows how he prepares
and cuts stones out of the existing mountain...
 
The comments were added in French to let you discover how to prepare the tools
and to use the Natural ressources to develop the nearby village. I hope you like the overall experience.
 
This is my first PTE slideshow and I would love to read from you...
Regards, Mathieu

Hello,
 
This is my second slideshow with a sport topic this time and a rock n roll soundtrack.
I had the chance to follow the World Street League of Skateboarding contest a while ago in Brazil.
First and foremost, I found the event very interesting and challenging. I did not know at that time that it was a
qualifier for the coming Olympic Games Scheduled in Tokyo and that there would be the first medals given for
this sport.
I hope you enjoy it and find the same energy and force from the pro athletes while they perform
their jumps and tricks in the concrete bowl.
As usual, comments and ideas for improvements are welcomed. Thank you in advance.
Regards from France,
Mathieu

Back when I was first diagnosed with cancer I was given 1 to 4 years and that was that. My wife Karen talked me into spending money and getting a few things to soften my life. I had this trailer for 18 months.  By then I knew I was still too rough to keep a beautiful trailer beautiful. I like rough out of the way places and I was going to quickly wreck this cute trailer. I sold it and went back to traveling very light.  This show is traveling from Arizona where I bought the trailer back to New Mexico. I passed Petrified Forest NP and thought I'd take a look. I hope you enjoy the show. 

This video is pretty much the same as the one I posted years ago except I've touched up some shots and posted it in 4k format for what it's worth. I enjoy pushing the envelope as I use a fairly large screen that can play 4k shows. With PTE it doesn't matter what screen you have as it plays perfectly on any screen.  

This is a flower show in close up. I started this project to test out Luminar AI, in what it can do for me to convert RAW files to JPEG.
I stopped using Lightroom, because the old version 4.4 has problems on my new PC. I don,t want software that charges me € 120 on a year base, for lightroom and photoshop.

Hello,

Another simple slideshow (16:10 format) of an early summer morning's walk in the Great Langdale Valley (English Lake District) , North-west England, a few summers ago.

A simple slideshow 16:10 format.  Struggling a bit for images  as due to various reasons, not least lockdown, done very little photography in last 18 months.

A new slideshow.  Venice, surely the most beautiful city on earth and possibly the busiest despite which we did manage to find a few of the quieter places.

This is a remake of an earlier AV 

Melasti is a Hindu Balinese cleansing ceremony and ritual, which is held four days prior to Nyepi Day (Silent Day) according to the Balinese calendar. It is celebrated by Hindus in Indonesia, especially in Bali.
The Melasti ceremony is held on the edge of the beach with the aim of clearing yourself from all bad things and leaving the past behind in the ocean. According to Hindu belief, the water source is considered to be the source of life (Tirta Amrita). In addition to praying, all the sacred objects that belong to a temple are cleaned and purified during the Melasti ceremony.

This is my Lefty follow up. It is story driven so it is a bit long. Lefty is nearing the end of her line now so I really wanted to make a tribute to her. When I adopted her I knew she was at least 6 years old and maybe more. She spent 4 years in a kennel after she was rescued. She had nipped a couple folks that had come to see her. I know dogs and know what sets them off and I'm used to larger breeds. And because I have been ill for a few years I no-longer felt right about getting a puppy as I am on thin ice myself. Anyway after a couple months with me she settled down. We are best buds now. We are going up to the Jemez Mountains this morning if I can get her in the car. I have to lift her these days but she has lost weight this last year while I have gained weight. It's going up into the 90s the next couple days and Lefty and I need a break. More to follow when we get back. I hope you enjoy Lefty's show.

This show tells a somewhat subtle story. Notice that through the window, a rainstorm with lightning is raging and in the room, the fire in the fireplace is large with a roaring blaze, but in the painting, it's sunny outside with a small fire in the fireplace. This depicts the same place, but at different times. 

The techniques used include masking, PNG images, rain animation, lightning animation and the use of Visisketch Pro plus modifications by PTE.  The intent was to tell a story with the painting. Hopefully, I was successful.
