This Week

This week I learned how to use photo story 3. I uploaded my photo story to the ftp website at this location. I think it is a good application for creating a slideshow. I like how you can add narration for each individual picture. I have made slideshows before, but I had always used Windows Movie Maker. Movie Maker just streams the audio and you have to be careful to make sure that you are speaking about the correct picture. Photo Story 3 makes it nice that you do not worry about and know that the narration will match the picture. I do find it a little constrictive because you can't spread a narration over several pictures. You can't read a sentence and had three different images associated with it. This was the first time I had ever used a microphone. A couple times I may gotten a little close to the microphone during narration. It will take some practice to get used to how to best utilize a microphone.
