Society member Edgar Vella will be presenting the Society with the souvenir CD-ROM of the 43rd Open Annual Exhibition on Thursday 17th July 2008 at 6:00pm. The slideshow presentation will be shown at the Society premises together with the talk by Louis Agius and Agostino Baldacchino entitled “Judging our Prints” already announced in the May/June 2008 newsletter.
This year’s CD-ROM is being packaged in a jewel case with a specially designed cover and CD label (see images below). The 45-minute slideshow presentation is packed with photos of:
1. The Judging panel and judging sessions
2. The Exhibition Hall and display panels
3. The official inauguration of the Exhibition on the 5th June, 2008
4. The presentation of Awards
5. The Reception plus:
- A detailed catalogue and photos of all the accepted works classified by author and category
- Statistics on all entries classifed by category
Unobtrusive yet pleasant music accompanies the slideshow throughout and adds to the atmosphere of the event.
The CD-ROM contains a Windows executable file (“2008 MPS Exhibition.exe”) of the slideshow. It is advisable to copy this file on to your hard disk and then run the slideshow directly from the hard drive. This will ensure a smoother-running presentation and will avoid any jerky motion effects which may occur when running the slideshow directly from the CD-ROM drive.
Additionally, the disc contains an AVI video file of the slideshow which is playable on any computer or DVD Player that supports DIVX.
Copies of the slideshow presentation will be available for sale at the society's premises for a nominal charge of 5 Euro. All proceeds from the sale of the CD-ROM will go to the Malta Photographic Society.
