It has probably been mentioned before but National Geographic do a series of large hardback photo books that are brilliant. Some are available at Amazon for as little as £8. The others are about double that.

It's a way of filling up time in a video when you only have a photo to show. Ken Burns Effect

So he's the culprit. A lot to answer for.

A great still IMO should stay still so we can spend some time appreciating it.

Agreed. I prefer slide shows where I can control the time per image, so that I can ponder over the interesting pictures and skip quickly through the rest.
Best regards
