More things to think about when putting together your slide show: Start with an establishing photo. This should be a “big picture shot” to set the stage. Don’t use low quality shots. Make selections that tell a story—not just pretty pictures. Try to show action and/or interaction. The best slide shows have some kind of drama. Vary the shots. This makes your photo essay or slide show more interesting. Go from a close-up, to a shot without people, to a crowd photo…etc.
