Title: My May in Arillas slide show!
Post by: martin-w on May 27, 2008, 12:34:41 AM
Hi All!
I can't tall you how much I have strived to get this 'up and running' since I got back. I've learned a lot about digital photography, editing, Apple Mac systems iPhoto, and you tube. But I did get there in the end! Hope the results were worth waiting for.
The originals are stunning but I notice that there is a lot of definition lost when the files are 'compressed' onto you tube, although they do offer a new viewing system which helps.
I have tried to capture Arillas 'waking up' to a new season, and as promised evidence of 'the donut man'. The sequence is as large as the 'you tube' file will allow.
Hope you all enjoy <www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgU2iKZhruY .
Yammas,
Martin.

Hi Martin

The Video/slideshow was well worth your hard work, it is very good. The background music really helps to give that unique Greek feel to it.

You could well have set a trend for us all to write our names on the beach and take a photograph.

Your Link above needs to be changed to www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgU2iKZhruY

The > at the end was giving a bad Youtube address.

Terrific, Martin, well done.  Makes us all wish we were back there though, I guess?

I think one night we were taking the same sunset together?!

Hi!
Glad you all enjoyed it. My son bought me one of those digital picture frames and I have downloaded it to that so I have Arillas in my living room at the touch of a button! Wonderful thing technology, as Wallace would put it! I'm surprising myself as to what I can do with all these gadgets.
Lynn/Colin, yes I remember it well. A great night. Hope to meet up again with you and all the other members who shared my two weeks in Arillas. Lots of happy memories, wish I was still there.
I have been to the travel agents and looked at the prospects for September. There are seats available, but I have to organise a house sitter before I can book. Surprisingly there is only a small difference in price if I book two weeks or a month!
Eggy, I bet you are missing the sun here at the height of a typical British Bank Holiday.
All the best,
Martin.

Martin,

What a brilliant slide show.  It has really got us in the mood.  We fly out to Arillas on 13th June  and we cannot wait to see all those wonderful sights.  This will be our first stay in the resort having visited it last year on the scooter and really liked the look of the place.

Thanks

Hi, Martin. Fabulous job. Makes me feel `homesick`.   Hoping to get out  in Sep, but if we cannot, this is a great reminder to add to our own photos.  Yammas.

Hi Martin
Just watched your slide show and what amazing photos you've captured the wonderful spirit of Arillas and made me even more determined to come back.  I too have one of those digital photo frames that I'd got as a birthday present and it was playing my past holiday photos of Arillas on it that was one of the factors that gave me the push and of course the fantastic support from the forum members. I set my musical theme using an Abba song titled Arrival. I know not very Greek but it kind of goes those pure vocals and melodies, makes me think of green hills, beautiful seas and hypnotic sunsets.  I'm only sorry I didn't get to meet you in Arillas a couple of weeks ago.
Take Care
