Dear Jeff,
 
 I just wanted to thank you again for an outstanding presentation to the Charleston Camera Club last night.  I don't think I've ever seen such a turnout or such a response to any of our programs like the response you got.

New Deluxe DVD Video insert cover art (March 30, 2005)

Now
you can own the highly acclaimed video presentation of astronomical images by Jeff.  This multimedia show has been well received by hundreds of viewers.  I am frequently asked if I have copies to sell.  I am pleased to announce that now you can own the "Light of Creation" multimedia presentation with beautiful astronomical imagery, inspirational message, and stirring soundtrack.  This presentation is very faithful to the original "live" presentation that you may have seen in person and will rekindle the warmth in your heart for the awe inspiring beauty of God's great Creation. 

Jeff's presentation brought tears to my eyes. 
So many of those images were wonderful memories of my "FIRST  TIMES"...:
The meteor shower at Breezy. 
Finding the Whirlpool on my own at Spruce Knob. 
The Lagoon at Green Bank. 
Andromeda for the first time. 
Words can't come close to the passion those images wrought.

Now you can take home the imagery of "Light of Creation" for your very own to display on your PC or TV with DVD player.  The presentation is packed with over 9 minutes of beautiful images of our universe.  The images will fade, pan, and blend into one another as the sweeping soundtrack takes you on a journey from our home planet to galaxies beyond.  This show features nearly all of my astronomical portfolio images.  The show has been carefully crafted in a logical and artistic way. 

Your journey begins in our solar system where you will view earthly and planetary phenomena.  Then you will travel to nearby Milky Way nebulae and star clusters before setting out on a galactic voyage to the spiral nebulae in the sky, our neighbor galaxies.  This presentation format is slightly modified from the "live" presentation I have given.  This presentation is nothing but beautiful imagery with a sweeping astronomical soundtrack and inspirational accreditation to the Creator of it all.

 

Hi Jeff,

I just watched the dvd, fantastic job!
                     - Rob Adkins

 

Here is what is in the show:

-Over 40 unique astronomical images with beautiful transitions from one image to the next

-Over 9 minutes of beautiful imagery and sweeping music

-Inspirational scriptures that are the "core" of the "Light of Creation" presentation attributing the awe inspiring beauty of the universe to its Creator-God

-Each astronomical image is tastefully labeled so that all events and objects are clearly identified to the viewer

-Solar system objects and events from a lunar eclipse to the Venus transit

-Milky Way objects in splendid color and dynamic black and white from the mysterious Pipe Dark Nebula to the great nebula clouds in the constellation of Orion

-Galaxies from wispy interactive galaxies M81/M82 to the Great Andromeda Galaxy

-A stirring soundtrack by Chris Worth titled appropriately "Space."  Chris describes his work as "lush string pads and sound effects create a vast expanse
."  As many viewers of the "Light" presentation know, the music is one of the key ingredients in connecting you with the universe on an emotional level.  I think you will find this soundtrack matches up with the imagery in a splendid way. 

-and more
