Slideshow Issues

Ever since I started this blog back in February one of the major issues I've been having on a consistent basis is how to share my pictures. I thought I fixed this problem when I started using Flickr and making slideshows on there, but I forgot about a big demographic, Mobile Users.

I just took care of that issue and have converted all of my older slideshows into HTML5 compatible slideshows so they are view able on all mobile devices like Iphones and Ipads.

Update: The whole point of this post was to mention the service I switched to for the slideshows. It's called SlideMyPic. There are a few different options it offers such as 3 different styles, background color and music sync. Plus all of my pictures are loaded from the same sets I made on Flickr so I don't have to upload to a completely different site. Pretty cool.

I have a new set of pictures that I took last week that are gonna be posted tomorrow morning

And I'm thinking of traveling to downtown Long Beach for my photo session this week.or somewhere in that direction.

In the meantime, Check out my photos on Flickr and DeviantArt

I like the the slideshow set up you have going. My only complaint is that the photos are so small. :( I am glad you provide the links to the sites you have your photos at but is there a way to load a larger slideshow or the ability to view larger? Without leaving this site?

My solution for my site is loading the pictures onto Blogger using their size defaults but they also allow you to click the picture for a bigger view... but then my post is a giant bandwidth eating image hog.

Thanks for letting me know, I think there is one bigger option before I have to start doing your recommendation. It would probably be easier if I just posted them all instead of using the slideshow so I can post the metadata with the pictures.

I might need to change too because my flickr account has reached its maximum and I dont post everything on Deviantart. Thanks!! ;)

Glad my suggestion got the gears turning. Also since you do photography and plan to keep doing it as a career, perhaps a watermark? Something that has your copyright or something on it. That way if people want to use your image they have to ask you for permission/credit you or even pay you. Just a thought!

Dang, you have all the good suggestions. I just started using lightroom and I saw an option to add a watermarks. i really should. I'll probably start that with my next set.

I increased the size of my slideshows, unfortunately I can't have them too big because they overtook my right column on my theme. I bet there is a way to fix that though.

Thanks for the reccomendations. Much appreciated!! ^_^
