A few of my favorite photographs during my stint at the Des Moines Register.
You can click the plus and minus symbols on each side of the slideshow, or you can drag through the photos using the bar on the bottom of the slideshow.
I thought I would post some links to a couple of slideshow apps I have been trying out. The above was made with Animoto. You can link it to your flickr account and choose from a selection of musical options. It then edits together a short music video for you (30 second pieces are free, anything more and there is a fee).
I have also been trying out slideoo (which I used for the post above), FotoViewr, and splashr.
Slideoo is a horizontal scrolling slideshow that reminded me a lot of the Vuvox collage app. You can move through it by clicking on either end, or by dragging a scroll bar on the bottom. Clicking on a photo will take you to its flickr photo page.
Fotoviewr has four different viewing styles, all of which look very good, and remind me of Cover Flow in iTunes. There is also a full screen option, but currently there is not an embed option for your blog or web page (supposedly coming soon).
splashr has 23 different viewing styles with the ability to embed. However, when embedding, the default width is 1000 px, which is too large for most blogs, and changing that size lowered the quality of the images in the slideshows.
My Mark II decided to break on me a couple of weeks ago. Now, sometimes when I take photos, there is a strip through the middle that is overexposed in comparison to the rest of the image. Less frequently, a dark strip appears in the bottom right.
Any ideas?
Update - Broken shutter ended up costing me $626.
Videos (I am thinking that Chris Gannon added the music because the last aerial video they did was full of helicopter noise. Maybe better silent?)
