Our big trip of the year ended a week ago. It was a wonderful trip to the northeast to see the fall foliage ("leaf peeping" as it is known up there). The fall colors were late in coming this year, so that meant our time on the coast of Maine was devoted to coastal activities (the trees were almost all green). We saw some beautiful colors in New Hampshire, but since peak was yet to arrive, we had the treat of seeing the colors change perceptibly during our two-day stay there.
Our "scrapbook" for this trip will be almost all electronic this year, somewhat as an experiment. We did create a small (24-picture) photo album that we could show around, but that won't be the final product. I'll post some of the 500 pictures we took to my website, and I'll also probably upload the audio journal entries we recorded during the trip.
But the ultimate goal is to use the photos we took, along with the audio entries and our own narration to produce a short trip summary on a DVD. It will be the first time I'll use the "Ken Burns effect" in iMovie. It will be a challenge to make this glorified slideshow short enough to not be boring, but long enough to highlight all the great things we did on the trip.
