JEB Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 Hi, I know the definition of Photo Harmony as given by the RPS and others (not just music to images) but I can't find any examples. Can anybody point me as to where I could actually view a sequence that meets the RPS definition? John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegee Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 John, There is probably an organizer in your area who should have access to CDs/DVDs of previous Competitions. Talk nicely to him/her and try to get a copy or loan of one with the results and adjudication notes. I did just that some years ago and had no problem.

JEB Posted November 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Hi Dave, Thanks for your reply. I will probably do as you suggest. This is just out of curiosity. It seems to to be quite a tight definition. Presumably this is because it is being set as a examination exercise. Probably not surprising that there are no examples readily available. Kind Regards John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegee Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 The Bridgend Comp, to which I linked above, is a Photo Harmony Comp and there are a few examples of winners there. We might not agree with the judges on these matters, but in this case the brief is "Photo Harmony". DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEB Posted November 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Hi Dave, Thank you very much. I have now had a chance to look at a few of the sequences you directed me to. I now have a much clearer understanding of the definition of Photo Harmony. For a long time now I have been reading far too much into the printed definition. This is an old problem of mine I'm afraid, I should have known better. I have spent most of my AV activity in producing documentaries so have ignored the true artistry of Photo Harmony. I think I am in a much better position to recognise the difference between Photo Harmony and "pictures to music" something I see quite a bit of and have been guilty of producing myself. I have been too guilty of letting the narrative tell the story and the images just support the narrative. Looks like I'm going to have to put a different hat on when taking images for Photo Harmony. Thanks a lot for clearing that up. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
