Winter White

 Another "Snow Day". How I love them. Yesterday I was inspired to make a short slide show with some of my winter photography. I have long been a fan of Danny Wright's music, and the first time that I heard "Fire and Snow" I imagined a video or slide show to go with it. That was maybe 20 years ago, long before we could make such creations with special software on our home computers.

 

Making slide shows behave the way that I want them to has been a challenge, to say the least, but I dusted off my "I-wanna-make-a-slide-show-for-the-OCJ blog-but-it-will-be-too-hard-to-do" inner critic and gave it a try. It really did not take too long, but getting it uploaded to the blog has been very challenging. I am just hoping after trying several methods that the link works for you. I finally got it working in several tests, so...here goes nothin' (or I should say, "something"!)

 

 

 

To play the slide show, click on the link below the picture.

I like SmileBox for making animated slide shows with music because it is relatively easy. What I don't like about SmileBox is that there is no control over how long a slide displays or for a way to fit the number of slides to the length of the music, like Windows video maker, PowerPoint, or Adobe Premiere. But the animation adds a wonderful element that I like, so until I get better at creataing videos, I'll stay with SmileBox.

I am asking a favor: I need feedback on if this link works, if the slide show opened, if it gave you any problems, and if you like it or don't like it, and why.
