Very nice. I wouldn't know how to do this, but I admire the results.

Well done with beautiful images. The one problem I had, though, is that the vertical images weren't displayed at same size as the horizontals (maybe just my perception). I realize its probably the nature of the Youtube format. Wonder if panning the verticals would give a better sense of their impact. Maybe on your website you could include a larger video version possibly using Flash to give the viewer a better sense of the images. Just some thoughts; but, again, really well done.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments and thoughtfull input. Getting music was the most challenging part. Its not every composer in the world that understands the North American West. Little is available that is not locked up by a copyright

Doug, I think its the way I sized the photos. I sized them so that the major axis filled the video frame dimension, which in HDV is a 16:9 aspect ratio. Thanks for pointing that out.

Good job Alex, enjoyed it - the music and wind add to the feeling of open space of many of your photos.

Oh and good on you for dealing with the copyright the right way..
