Nicomedia

I will try to embed another slideshow I did – this one Slideroll – but I think I am Flash-deficient so it doesn’t seem to work on my computer??!!! But I checked today at uni and the video I thought wasn’t working on the blog was, so I’ll just run with it tonight.

I liked Slideroll too. It was easy – I elected not to have the pan and zoom option on this slideshow but it is something I have noticed Fairfax like to use (but maybe in this instance to disguise the fact that it isn’t a video, it’s Obama’s speech to a photo montage. I like this gallery better). The visual movement does create interest, but sometimes I think it looks tacky.

Does a collage feature qualify as a gimmick? I could spend hours arranging my digital photos into pointless collages, and I would have today if I wasn’t supposed to be studying (but also streaming Obama on CNN at the same time).

I like Picasa’s interface and I’m sure if I had a bit more time this afternoon I would have worked out how to do whatever it was I was aiming to – and I would need to figure that out first. Frankly, I am a little bemused by the wealth of options one has on the internet these days and I’m prepared to spend some time working it all out. I think I have used photobucket in the past, and this seems to have many more creative and purposeful possibilities.

Here is what I did do.

On the other hand, couldn’t be happier about this…
