Not -that- kind of exposing, Cyn! Put down the popcorn and wipe that smile off your face! Some people.

Anyway, a little background. Whenever I finish processing a shoot, I'm then faced with choosing the images I want to put into my online gallery. The way I do this is to make a slideshow of it and then watch that 6-12 times before I am happy with the images I've chosen. Somewhere along the line, I got bored and started adding music and stuff to it to make my multiple viewings a bit easier. :) Anyway, these are normally for my consumption only.

Recently, I thought I'd try out the web slideshow option of the software I use and now I'm thinking about maybe adding slideshows to my website. I wanted to see how well these play on the average system so I was hoping you guys might be able to take a look and let me know.

When you go to the above link, unless you've seen this type of slideshow before, it will go to download a plugin (it's the slideshow viewer). This is about a 2mb file I think. After that, the slideshow will load. Click on the image in the center to start it.

I recommend this for broadband users only, although dialup users are always welcome to try. This makes me kind of nervous. As I said, these are made for me and have some images that I've actually cut as not being good enough. But, oh well ... let me know what you think.

This is also kind of a bandwidth hog, so I'd like to ask that you guys not post this link or tell anyone outside of this forum about it. Thanks guys.
