EXPERIENCE A TIM ERNST SLIDE SHOW!

If your group would like to have Tim Ernst give one or more of his slide/music programs, please e-mail Tim for details. Fees for the programs range from free to very expensive*. The programs can be tailored to fit your group's individual needs, and usually range in length from thirty minutes to an hour and a half. Any size group is OK, although we prefer groups of 100 or more.

*As a general rule non-commercial programs during November and December to groups of 100 people or more that are open to the public are usually free. All others norually require a fee. We get literally hundreds of requests per year for programs, and with the minimum time required of us being at least 17 hours of work for a single program, we must charge a fair fee to cover our time lost from normal work, travel, and other expenses. E-mail for a specific quote for your group.

If the program is to be during the day, then a room WITHOUT ANY windows is preferred- curtains or blinds will help but the room really needs to be DARK. Also, it is helpful if there is a projection screen in the room - the bigger, the better. If no screen is available, one will be provided (max size for travel is 9' x 12'). All other equipment is provided by Tim Ernst, including a special digital projection set up and stereo system. It takes about an hour to set this equipment up and test, and this must be done before any guests arrive, so the room needs to be available at least an hour early.

Autographed copies of Tim's picture books and hiking trail guidebooks will be for sale after the program. We request that three eight-foot tables be made available for the display and autograph area, plus a chair.

All programs are color slide shows put to music, with one image dissolving into the next. The shows are introduced with 5 - 10 minutes of information, with a question and answer session afterward. A single program normally lasts 20 - 30 minutes. Two slide shows can be combined for longer programs, up to an hour and a half. There is no additional cost for this. Discussion can be on a wide range of subjects, including nature photography, wilderness preservation and hiking.

Slide programs are normally scheduled months in advance, and usually only in November and December - e-mail Tim early to schedule a slide show or for any questions. NOTE - we normally do not give presentations to civic clubs or regular school classes, or at other times of the year - there is simply not enough time during these events for us to set up and test the equipment, and give a nice program, nor to sell any books. Programs ARE available throughout the year for a minimum fee of $1,200, depending on what is available - just ask and see what we can work out.
