16. What are photo galleries?
Collections of photos illustrating a theme
Themes:
A Day Around the World in Photos
Spring Training
Charitable Valentines Gifts
17. Why do photo galleries?
Increase page views
Communicate in new ways with audiences
Showcase pictures that you couldnt in print
18. Choosing your theme
Should be a topic of interest to your audience
Should be something that you can illustrate with photos
Should NOT be a topic you have already used (no repeats of podcast topics)
Think about a strategy:
Day in the life
Top 10 list
Ideas for doing something
A how to guide
19. Getting the photos
Pick your theme FIRST
Contact sources who might have ideas
Go to an event that may help you illustrate your theme
DO NOT pose pictures; subjects must be acting naturally
20. Captions
Should give identifying information
First & last name
Ages
Other info (hometown, major, year, etc.)
Should include a description of what is happening in the picture and/or how the subject in the picture relates to your theme
Dont need to identify people when there are more than 3 in the shot
No more than 2-3 lines
Good grammar, AP Style, spelling
21. Gallery specifics
You must use your own photos
Photos should reflect a theme
All photos should feature detailed captions
Galleries should contain 8-12 photos
Photos should adhere to good photography principles included in the virtual lecture and photo field trip
Take photos all horizontally varying them up will look weird in Soundslides
