In Digital Porfolio, Jerry shared with us an action his son created to be able to batch process images with our logo on it. Here’s a few examples of images it worked really well on…
However, as it stands, this logo doesn’t work as well on light images. This is most seen on the next image which does have the logo on it through the action…But, even with me telling you, you will never know…
But with some playing around and some tweaking, I may be able to create an action (or two) to allow me to use this more often and in batch processing (thus saving me some much needed time).
Part of my Nature and Scenic class requires me to research a current nature photographer and compare myself to them. I did a little bit of research and here is a few nature photographers that I found who had some work that I found appealing:
Jan K Forseth
Ricky and Sue Ferguson
Bobbie Goodrich
George Sanker
Harold Davis
All of these photographers are members of the North American Nature Photography Association and was able to find them on the official NANPA site.
The final program we had to use was from slide.com. Of all the programs we have used, this is the one that not only had I never seen/heard of before, but was also not so impressed with its presentation.
It would not be bad for people to quickly through together something special for family or friends. But as a professional tool, it is not so professional.
Another company that produces slide shows with audio ability is Animoto. While it does cost to make full length videos, you can try it out for free by making 30sec shorts like I did.
For some reason, I was unable to get it to view simply by embedding the actual Animoto video, so I tried uploading to YouTube instead (which, sadly, degraded the quality) which I was able to embed.
However, if you still would like to see the original (and much better quality) version, please click here.
