QE2 - 1980s YouTube slideshow
« on: Jun 27, 2015, 10:22 PM »
Not sure if this is the right place for it* but I have just uploaded most of my QE2 photos onto a YouTube slideshow; apart from a few July 2008 pictures everything here is from the 1980s.
 

Most of the pictures I have posted on the forum in some place or another, but now they're all in one place.

Apologies for the present lack of background music - I haven't got time tonight to add this...  That will be remedied as soon as possible.


*I thought about putting it in the 1980s section, but because of the 2008 photos in it...

Absolutely brilliant  :) What a good idea to put all the photos together on a slideshow.  If you have not already done so it would be lovely to have these on the QE2 Story Gallery

I'm not sure if they're in the gallery but most if not all of them are already on the forum in various threads here and there.  :)

Thank you so very much, Peter, for putting your photos into a QE2 Slideshow !  It is marvelous !!  QE2 is just so beautiful from every angle and from far and near !  She has that "special something" that sets her apart from all others.  :)

I've finally got time to add a bit of music to it; the edit is in progress as I write this and should be available to listen to roughly ½ hour after the time on this post...  :)

Beethoven's Moonlight Piano sonata, is a good choice of music, giving a tranquil feel to the slideshow of QE2 photos.  Very nice  :)

I wondered how long it would be before someone recognised what the music was...  :)
