Godders - love the idea but the mixes (dissolves) between shots are far too fast! I don't mind you cramming as many shots as you can into a presentation, but as a bare minimum, I would say 4 seconds, and it varies with different pictures - some I would give 3 times that. Note that music, although complimentary, is another stimulus for the senses, and makes things go seemingly quicker. Try a presentation with/without music to compare relative 'speeds'. You may also find that when putting images (still or otherwise) to music, there is no formula. It has to come from the heart - the transition of image with music has to 'feel' right. That's the golden rule with these things - if it feels right, it *is* right :-) I once edited a series of 4 minute news items on a UK picture agency (Popperfoto) that included many stills images and editing them to music was one of the hardest, yet one of the most rewarding things I've ever done.
