Telus World's Photo Showdown

Postby dooda on Sat Apr 16, 2005 4:35 am

Two days ago I went to the Telus World Ski and Snowboard Festival in Whistler Photo Showdown.
Featured five of the worlds top sport photographers in Skateboarding, surfing, skiing, snowboarding, and nature in general. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera, but it was absolutely sensational, and I found particularly interesting the method of showing the shots. Some of the younger guys went all out on the music, some used special effects to fade in and out of the shots. The oler guys though (Brittain and Aaron Chang) used music that didn't overwhel much, but didn't fade back much either. THey also did nothing but let the photos speak for themselves. Got me thinking about what I do with my photos. Maybe I should find some really cool tunes and put together a little show or something for interested persons. Has anyone else done this?
Brittain in particular was spectacular (founder of Transworld Skateboard mag) etc. His use of lighting was pure genious. I was so lucky to be there.

I plan on doing a small section or something on my website with music. It would enhance the viewing pleasure IMO.

Guys
Have a look at ProShow Gold if you want to add music and effects to your pics.

Hi guys - I have added music to slide shows I have produced for friends - weddings, parties etc. IMO music, if chosen to suite the show, make the whole presentation much more enjoyable :D
