Members Slide Shows - Club Night 28th February 2012

We are proposing to hold a members slide show evening on our club night, 28th February 2012. This is open to any members and is an opportunity for them to put a few photographs together into a slide show and bring them along on the evening to show to other members. The subject metter is open, so you may choose to produce a slide show on a recent holiday, or a hobby, or perhaps just a selection of images you have taken.

We are ideally looking for slide shows set to music with a maximum duration of 10 minutes. There are a number of programs which you can use to produce a slide show, Pictures to Exe is a good one because it can produce a stand alone slide show file which will run on just about any PC. Photoshop Elements also includes a facility to produce a slide show.

Please also ona club night if you are unsure what to do.
