Idea1,Ideas for Summertime (or Anytime) Fun! Articles Make a Flash Photo Gallery

One interesting photo project is to create a personal photo gallery with flash animations. Go outside and hang on to the digital camera for a few days, snapping anything that captures your fancy. At the end of that period, upload the pictures to a computer, then add some good captions or funny quotes, even animated cliparts. A simple, easy activity to do, which is also rewarding for the family too.

You can use a program like Flash SlideShow Builder to maintain the photo album and turn them into a compelling Flash gallery. With only a few mouse clicks, you can instantly create an interactive, animated photo show. Add animated clip art, sounds, voices, and MP3 music files. This slide-show creation application also lets you send your albums via e-mail, host your own photo album online for free, or publish HTML page for others to see.

Idea2, Make Awesome DVD slideshows

What good are days at the theme park if you can't show off your summer pix or exciting moments? Just put together a video of your favorite summer highlights, make a DVD slideshow of vacation photos with some background music or produce a video CD of recorded TV shows using Wondershare DVD Slideshow Builder. This simple and feature-rich slideshow creator is perfect for all owners of digital still cameras, desktop and digital video cameras, and camcorders. Share your summer movies with style.

Idea3, Create a Nice Photo Collage

Here's anther good project to undertake if you like digital scrapbooking. Print out some nice, small format pictures, then stick them onto a large cardboard. The way to do this is to use a cool software I found called Photo Collage Studio. This program allows you to turn your favorite photos into an artistic compilation with beautiful photo frame and mask effects, which you can solve on the computer. Neat, huh?

Have a wonderful summer!
