Re: Searching for a slideshow with random Ken Burns effect

Downloaded the trial. So far I have found the randomize function for motion effects. It also adds random rotation effects which is a little over the top. Enough options so I need to play a little more this evening. Thanks for the tip. On Sun, Oct 19, 2008 at 11:37 PM, AlunFoto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Searching for a slideshow with random Ken Burns effect

I need to compile a slideshow of app. 250 images which displays the pan and zoom Ken Burns effect on a PC. The stuff I have found involves manual tweaking of 250 transitions. The frustrating part is that both the Wii and XBOX360 have simple slideshow software which works exactly how I want it: Inse

Pentax hasn't even been concentrating on entry-level kit, they've been completely absent in that market since January and will remain so until the K2000D starts showing up on shelves, and even then it's not exactly cheap (As it's kitted with the 18-55 and the AF200FG flash for $699, not even close

Two shots from the South Bank

I had a walk along the South Bank today. Some kids were larking about on one of the beaches: http://www.web-options.com/SB.jpg The purpose of the walk was to get to the Royal Festival Hall where there is an exhibition by a group of Magnum photographs about present-day slavery. It's a very powerfu

Re: Sony full frame A900, where's Pentax?

Sony has an FF lens line. They purposely restricted their offering of their DT crop-specific lenses and maintained a better offering of FF lenses, even when the restrictions didn't make sense (the complete lack of a Sony-branded f2.8 normal zoom for the A700, despite the availability of the Tamron

Pentax seems to be concentrating on entry level aps Models and ignoring their FF past. They don't want To develop a new line of FF lenses to sell with the FF Camera, so they are avoiding FF camera it seems. Sucks JC O'Connell [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTE

The winding path is very nice. The lopped-off tree is rather, er, squirm-making and slightly amusing in that they left the tiny little twig. The E-1 + Pentax lens seems to be a good combination - what are the shots like close up? I was in a Leica shop yesterday and had a look at the Panaleica 25/

Sony now has a FF camera? Really, Pentax? You're going to allow Sony to jump into the FF market ahead of you? Really? Sony? The company that made the Walkman and the Betamax? I mean you've been making SLR's since what, 1952? Sony's been making them since...? Really? ;-] On the serious side, I
