photos in video: a walk in Guadalupe River Park (unedited, M-P)

[Godfrey]

I went out walking in the park on Saturday morning. I made thirty-one exposures with the M-P using 50 and 90 mm lenses, not counting a quick video.

At home afterwards, I dropped the raw files into Lightroom, applied a couple of my personal, pathological presets to them, and rolled this slideshow to see what I'd done. Here's a streaming video of the slideshow:

Hmm. DropBox immediately suspended my Public folder sharing due to too much bandwidth ... I'll revise the above with a YouTube link shortly. Meanwhile, here's a still shot from the set:

Leica M-P + M-Rokkor 90mm f/4
ISO 400 @ f/8 @ 1/1500​

The series needs some editing. Some frames need a little detail tweaking, another couple need to be edited out. But the whole, unedited flow of it caught something in what I see walking this same walk every morning in the park for the past three years that has been elusive.

-> Oh well, that isn't going to work due to copyright issues on the music. Don't have time to work it out at the moment, so I'm killing the video. Sorry. <-

enjoy,

I watched it twice, and I'll say that slide show videos can be very intriguing . . . more than the simple sum of the pictures.

You actually didn't ask for comments, but since I watched it twice, I will comment on it as a video ..... 😛

The music worked very well with the images to produce an apprehensive feeling.
I imagine movie credits overlayed on these (don't get offended, that's a compliment coming from me).
The feeling I have is that the music dominates and the pictures are supportive.
I can understand other people feeling differently about that, but I think that the viewer needs to understand WHY she/he is looking at this to start with. Is it a photo slide show? Is it the intro to a David Lynch movie? Does the music support what it is intended to be?

Technicals: the image-image transitions are very distractingly choppy (not smooth).

Dropbox? I must look into that. Your video file must be enormous, given the size on the screen ? ! ?

You are correct . . . I over-analize everything that I see.

Thanks Dave!

DropBox can't handle the bandwidth on the free account, may they can for a pro account. I'm moving it to YouTube for the present, new link up soon.

This is very much a work in progress, not finished by any means. It just resonated with me and I posted the unedited stream without finishing to hear comments. 🙂

Fun fun fun...

Didn't work out, sorry. YouTube is strict about audio rights and the track I used isn't acceptable.

Here's a static set on Flickr.com ... Twenty-two of the photos survived an edit pass. 🙂
