After our South American adventures, everyone commented on the great food and wine we enjoyed on the trip. Kirsten and Peter decided to re-create this aspect of our trip with a dinner party back in Adelaide.
I decided to photograph the evening. There was the technical challenge of taking shots in low light with people moving (no posing) ... two situations a point-and-shoot camera struggles with. After using ISO 800 on my travels with good results, I figured I should give it a go back home.
From the images, I created my usual Powerpoint slide-show. But I also decided to create an equivalent blog entry, as an experiment. Slide-shows have the benefit of juxtaposing images and text to aid the story-telling but a blog entry is quicker for people to access (provided they have internet access). A slide-show is easily saved on disk (for subsequent access) but so can a blog entry (in a Word document, for example).
Perhaps I'm getting ahead of myself - do people really want to save an entire slide-show or blog entry? More likely they want to save one or two pictures from the event. In reality, blog entries (whatever medium is used) are disposable unless the entry has an educational aspect to it.
