Excellent (love the music as well- one of the all time greats) Interesting how the zooming makes you almost feel that you are there taking the pic. Think my only very slight criticism would be some of the more startling fades seemed to detract from the pics- think I pefer the simpler ones but thats just personal preference.
PS I did look up the safety of the active-X control and it's ok.

Truly amazing collection of images. I like the music but I'm afraid I don't recognize it. What is it?

My comments, I agree with Brian about the more complex transitions.
Maybe a little long, too many similar images and the zooming and panning could be toned down a bit in places.

Generally I like it and feel it was well done.

That was fun, images of spiders on the dramtic beat made me laugh. Canonada has clearly never watched the Excorcist!

the music wasnt my cup of tea, but the photos were cool. Lol... the music reminded me of a some instructional video I saw made back in 1974 with the first synthesizer.

Thanks everyone for the comments. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I guess I'll have to agree with Brian and Joe on some of the more wild transitions and pans. Being the first time I've played with the program, I guess I got a little carried away there. When I get some time, I'll tone some of it down a bit so that the pictures are the showcase and not the fancy fades. I'll through in some new pictures as I get them to replace the repetitive ones. I've only done Macro for about a month or two, so my photo library isn't as large as I'd like yet!

For years I've always wanted to use Tubular Bells in a photo presentation. I tried using it in high school for a PowerPoint presentation on optical illusions (mixed results as PowerPoint and my crappy laptop couldn't handle it smoothly). It was a no brainer to use it now for my macros. Although its a little strange at first, that song really grows on you. Now I just need to find good music for my bird and plant pictures.

'Summertime' for the plants? maybe too short on second thoughts.

Loved the pics, but I would have liked more time to look at each one. My favorite was the Monarch at the end.

Thanks for that,I enjoyed the presentation even though some of those spiders freak me out.
