A Day at the Zoo

One of my favorite places to go and take photos is the Zoo.  Here in Pittsburgh we have a beautiful zoo and aquarium.  We buy a membership and visit every other month or so.

We were there in November and I took a bunch of photos.  On this trip I captured the best photo of the tiger I have ever been able to take.

Isn’t she beautiful! I love the big cats.

I took a ton of other photos that day too, I have put together a slideshow with my Muvee software to share them with you.  Enjoy!

Spice Up Your Photos and Videos with Muvee

I get a lot of compliments on the photo  slideshows I do on my blog, it is a great way to showcase a bunch of photos at one time.  Last year when I was at Blissdom I won a copy of Muvee software and that is what I use to put the slideshows together.  I have tried other programs but keep coming back to Muvee.

Did you know you can use Muvee for much more than photo slideshows! I like that you can choose different themes and backgrounds to showcase your media.  You can also mix photos and video and splice together several video clips inot one.  Here is some of my most recent work.

Here is an example of mixing photos and video to create a Muvee.

These are the dancing fountains at the Bellagao Hotel in Las Vegas. I took these shots while I was at Blog World Expo. I could have stood there all day and watched the fountains.
