    Looking good Daz, but you move the camera too much and it distracts the viewer
    I well remember being told 'it is a moving picture, NOT a moving camera'
    Nevertheless, I enjoyed the visit
    I apologise if I have offended you in any way, but the intention is the very opposite
    You are indeed very fortunate to have a lovely little stream at the end of your garden
    It is also apparent that you have been working very hard, and the results are showing up well
    Keep up the good work ... like myself, it is obvious that you get a great enjoyment from your own garden, and Mother Nature's wonders :)

    I agree with Whis, it is looking good, some of your plants have done better than down here.
    I would also add, please slow down a little, give us time to appreciate the plants more.:gnthb:

    Love your garden, Daz and Debs.
    Fantastic little stream.
    Slow down on the video and give us time to enjoy the moment. Please redo it and let us have a slower look. It will be fantastic.
    Thank you for sharing it with us.

    Enjoyed the show Daz and Debs. I also had issues uploading my garden slide show, had to split the amount. There is a limit to what they accept to upload. Did you catch my slide shows of my gardens, look up Redstar's gardens here for the link.

    Have you tried loading your video into Windows Movie maker and editing it? This helps to remove the shaky bits, allows you to even add still pics to help the viewer admire the individual plants, and allows you to cross fade between shots making them more professional looking. AND it is great fun :)
    It is not a case of having to make the video longer. It is actually a case of making it shorter, but concentrating on the good bits and leaving out the movement between shots. Instead of moving between shots, stop the camera, and then start it again with the new shot. Use Moviemaker to insert a crossfade between the two, or even just use it as is ... a jump shot can be quite effective
    You can then save the result for upload to the web which helps reduce the file size. Alternatively you can use a free video converter to convert the video to .flv format, which is what Photobucket and Utube use
