RJT-Photography

While looking through the web, I found an interesting little tool to create your own video slideshow at animoto.com, the process is almost completely automated, so you just add the pictures and text, and select the music and Animoto, creates a video timed to the music with some interesting effects, it’s well worth playing with and you can create 30 second videos such as the one above for free. $3 will also buy you one full length one, which runs as long as you want.

The Tunisian Adventure Book, is now viewable with the new Blurb viewer and available for sale, from them as well, just follow the link.

After a long gap I have had 3 Photograph of the Day awards in quick succession.  This image taken the same day as “No Place to Sit” was too busy in colour so I converted in to Black and White and added a subtle split tone effect, to lift it slightly.

Big Al Says:

The stark contrasts in Jane’s POTD add to the sense of abandonment of the boats and the fishing tackle. The two foreground stacks form a good diagonal that give depth to the image.

I was delighted to receive Photograph of the Day for this image taken down on Beer Beach in Devon.  Taken back at the end of October it was pretty cold and grey,  but the four empty deck chairs, sat on the beach seemed to echo the end of autumn.

Big Al Says:

Jane’s POTD works so well through being semi-desaturated. With the sepia tones and the blues, the whole image has that cold feel to it.
