The result was the best panorama I’ve put together so far (click to enlarge) and a mediocre Soundslides project.

I took advantage of the nice weather today to study for my French exam shoot some photos and collect some sound at the Wentworth Farm Conservation Area near my house in Amherst, Mass.

The result was the best panorama I’ve put together so far (click to enlarge) and a mediocre Soundslides project.

The panorama is a roughly-150-degree view of the pond near Wentworth Farm. In between shooting photos I grabbed a bunch of natural sound – nothing too interesting: footsteps on grass and mud, a plane overhead, the sound of rushing water – and compiled it into this slideshow.

I must say I don’t like the way Soundslides displays photo sequences taken on the burst setting as much as I have with similar slideshows I’ve made with iMovie, but for stories that really make use of captions and feature the standard three-minute, 18 frame formula, Soundslides is still far superior.
