Are You Ready for a Slideshow ?

One of the most functional and unique features of the GBTC website is our Slideshow distribution section.  These are pictures we took on special trips and visits to various resorts. The original pictures have been processed for fast website viewing {not retouched} and are produced with a filmstrip plus slideshow option. Simply click on the slideshow name in the charts below to start the slideshow of your choice.

This icon anywhere on our website means we have a slideshow for the resort or the geographic area..

Our Policy - toward the pictures we post.  We post our pictures mostly for fun as we believe pictures are made for sharing - and we have plenty of trips to share. But, since there is a commercial use implied by our pictures being hosted on the GBTC Travel website ... and we sell many of the properties in these pictures - we feel some sort of statement may be necessary.

For the most part our pictures are unaltered low resolution digital images - some may have been leveled or cropped to show a better view and others may have been digitally adjusted to correct brightness and contrast, etc. We are sharing these pictures because we want you to see what we saw as it looked when we were there.  There is really not enough time on some of our resort inspection trips to setup a perfect photographic situation.  In other words ... most of our pictures are merely quick snapshots.

When you see our pictures of a certain resort - please remember that over time properties do change. There is a constant effort by the owners to improve their gardens, their walk paths, their beach areas, their pools, their restaurants, their bars and their suites. Various architects and designers get involved. Furnishings, designs and colors change often.  Like any other type of buildings - things wear out and repairs become necessary.  We always have up to date information as to when when active renovation is in progress or when resorts have either gone up or down in overall quality and/or appearance. Resorts and the visitors they bring to countries are big business. In general - everything does improve.

Most pictures on this website were taken with our Sony Mavica camera.  The original picture resolution is set to 640x480 resulting in a typical filesize is about 33k.  In a world of megapixel cameras ... all things considered ... we think our pictures are pretty good. If you have a question about a particular picture or when or where it was taken - please contact us giving the picture number and the exact location of the picture on our website and we will tell you more about it.      


Note from the Webmaster.  This page has always been a bear to work on.  Hopefully the new tables I have just created will make the job easier. Let me know if you like the new format or if you find an error..
