14 minute Slide Show - Funtastic 2013 and The Bangers
Camera: K5 / K20D Photo Location: Vernon BC 
Posted By: daacon, 09-08-2013, 03:37 PM

Not sure this one belongs here or somewhere else. It's got a lot of pictures

One of the things I really like to do with pictures is make a slide show. Nowadays the TV screens have a far better resolution than a consumer 'DVD' authoring program has. This gets a bit disappointing as the pics are so crisp and clear , and when you create a DVD they lose so much. Another factor is how your particular DVD player does upscaling and what type of connection you have to your TV. . A Blu-Ray writer would help - next machine I will have to get one or maybe just buy an external one. The AVI , mpeg-4 and especially the exe file are so much better than a standard 720 x 480 DVD format.

We have been going to this ball tournament since 1999 ( Funtastic ). It's so much fun. There is no prize money (which keeps a lot of 'those teams' away). We have been going long enough that now our Kids can play. Unfortunately my Kids could not make it this year (Daughter still recovering from ACL, Son had commitments) but it is a real family affair (two of our Families make up 11 players at times).

Anyway the video is a little long 14 minutes 8 seconds. I think it captures the essence of what great fun this is. I still need to remember to take more video (I get so caught up in the picture thing). The video that is in there was captured with an iPhone.

Most all shots were taken with the K5 or K20D , DA* 16-50 , DA* 60-250 and few (in the mosh pit) were with someone's PS (unsure what brand). Anyway if you got 15 minutes have a look. This one you can change the view to full HD (1080p) - still not quite perfect but it'll have to do.

I showed you this was hoping you would view it to entice you to maybe make it down there next year as you can see it's pretty fun. Karen always comes up with a theme. Those glasses where $3.00 at the dollar store and we had soo many offers from people wanting them. One girl offered one of our players $80.00 ! When you have 14 people walking around in tie Dye shirts and those glasses - people notice

Thanks Bob yep it's one of events I look forward to all year for sure. I envy your freedom my friend as I am still very much in the rat race but try and enjoy the summers / fall especially. As for growing up it's overrated methinks.
