Hi Hoop this canal is between Bruges and Damme, at a few miles from the Belgian coast. Bruges is a very nice old town with a lot of medieval houses, and if you take the trip with this old vessel "Lamme Goedzak" you will see exactly what is on the video, only in another sequence, because we stayed in an little hotel in Damme (the one and only)

Your best work yet. I recently realized that photos show more clarity over videos.

Thanks, I am glad you like it. I think that I already told you how much I like your work too, and that I regret it isn't made with PS3 so I can't invite you to join our PSM channel. But that is not important: it's the result that counts, not the tools

Hi John,
Very nice. I like that tin roofed shack along the water.
A question. Your pans seems very smooth, yet I
get a slight jitter and I have seen others who suffer
from the same problem. Is this something you have
found away around, or just never experienced?

I think I learned after a few years of experience that one should take lots of time for a good pan or zoom effect. In the early days I wanted to show as many as possible of the pictures I took. So 4 even 3 sec each photo and in case of pan/zoom 6 maybe 8 sec, because a story shouldn't be to long
I checked this WP3 file: I see 8 but also 10, 12 and even 18 sec depending on the range of the pan or zoom action. So the message is: discard 2 or 3 photos to do your panning properly.
Of course I was talking PS3. It is a widely known and accepted fact that this is the only software to give this high quality result, due to this special version of the series 9 codec that is used only here. If you are talking MM2 then the video codec is used which cannot give in my opinion (and a little bit of experience) the same result

Hi John,
I was referring to PS3. It's just a very subtle jitter that
I notice, and I see it on others. Maybe I will try slowing down the pan, and see how that effects the results.

thanks
