I have had this idea for a while and just needed the right conditions to shoot the images and that came in Brisbane recently at the Mt Coot-Tha Botanical Gardens.
Bright sunlight are not the best conditions for our photograpy, but it did allow some nice shots to be grabbed.
A lot of work went into the creation of the images using Photoshop and then the placing of those images within the slide show. The right music had to be found that enhanced the introduction of each image and I think I have found that with one of our own royalty free tracks called Peace of the Inner Mind from the Peaceful Album
Each image was placed into the slide show individually as they were created and few needed to be changed.
What animation has been included is delicate and measured and was more to make the images fit the music rather than for animation sake. I needed to hold one or two images longer then usual to fit in with the music and chose strong images and added gentle animation to hold the attention and appeal. (I hope)
Best viewed at 1920*1200 it is around 20MB and runs for 2 hours
Only joking about the 2 hours, how does 6 minutes sound?

Artistry Indeed! Beautiful show, I loved it!
Superb graphical shapes and textures, every picture is a fascinating one and you’ve made a Show the Botanical Gardens should be showing at the Entrance on a Big Screen.
The animation is very subtle so that you are almost unaware of it and the Music is of course absolutely perfect!

A joy to watch, but perhaps more importantly for me is the lesson to be learned here. That is that, there is more to a flower than the petals. The leaves make a wonderful study. Look beyond the obvious.
Thanks for sharing it Barry.
Only one problem, it would appear that you have too much time on your hands.
