I'm sure it's the sort of thing you could do up a mountain, and with a nice backdrop it'd certainly be something to try out. Especially if you like those dreamy water photos.
Definitely, but most times I've been out when it's snowing you can't see the background! Also, the snow was lit by the garage light in that shot, which probably affected the look of it. And another thing, you'd really need to use a tripod to keep the background sharp, if you could see it!
I don't think I've seen this, but nice mountains! :-) You must have really caught the photography bug (as if I didn't know this already!) to have created these images when you couldn't get out! ;-)
What was fun was setting up realistic lighting and clouds for different times of the day and trying to find the best vantage points, compositions and most suitable focal lengths for each location.
Yes, I must have taken that one on a tripod because the sun was low! As you can see the foreground trees have disappeared into shadow. I didn't know about contrast masking then! ;-)
Hey Bill, how has your photography and walking been going recently? Is that dog keeping you busy? :-)
I've been busy knocking up a POWER point presentation based on my visits to the aircraft wrecks on the Western Fans. After many false starts I have finally finished it.
Walking has been limited to very short afternoon strolls with Anne and Geraint in attendance. Anne has a real knee problem so 2.5 miles is good for her, even than avoiding any slightly awkward descents. Moel Feity is a nice stroll as the descent can be easily contoured without any problems. Geraint (my Labrador) enjoys the free space on the hills at this time of year when the sheep are taken off.
Photography had been at a standstill - I really want more views around the Western fans for my presentation. No one would want to look at a series of slides comprising wreck after wreck!!! -- Bill Grey billboy.co.ukbillboy.co.ukOpen ↗
Who are you creating the PowerPoint presentation for Bill? Sounds interesting! I do lots of PowerPoint presentations in work, but always for the organisation or other people, I never actually get to present anything myself - which is just as well, because I [censored] myself when put in front of groups of people! :-) Also, is Anne another dog or a famale friend? ;-)
BTW The PP presentation is for me. If I'm asked to show it one day then I will but it is a good way to look back on photos in a structured way. -- Bill Grey billboy.co.ukbillboy.co.ukOpen ↗

Interesting idea, I'd never thought of doing something like that before. I was going through my archive of photos earlier this evening, and it was amazing just how many photos I've taken, but completely forgot about!

My S-I-L sent some family photos from California in a PPP. I had to download a viewer before I could look at them, and they weren't exactly sharp. I don't know why not.... -- Gordon

If you want a reason Gordon, then it's because her original image was like that (dodgy scanning or poorly taken image?), rather than anything to do with PowerPoint.
Also Bill, you can rename the file extension of a PowerPoint presentation from MyPresentation.ppt to MyPresentation.pps to make the slideshow run straight away, rather than having the PowerPoint interface load. This is probably better if you're emailing it someone and you want them to instantly run the presentation as you want it to be presented.

I presume this only works if you have PP installed on your machine?

Hi Ste,
Thanks for this, I had read that bit in the help pages. I've kept it in *.ppt for the time being. I found *.pps created such a big folder many times the number of Mbytes -- Bill Grey billboy.co.ukbillboy.co.ukOpen ↗
I'm not sure Bernard, as I've got the full version of PowerPoint. But I'd guess it works the same with the viewer too - though I'd guess the viewer runs it this way all the time anyway, as it's just a viewer?
Hi Bill, I'd not even noticed that it made the files larger, but then again, I don't do it often. I first noticed it when my friends sent me around some 'funny emails' that contained presentations of funny things etc.

It probably adds a cut down version of the viewer to the presentation so that it is stand alone and runs when clicked, that way the reciever doesn't need PP or the viewer.
