Slide Show
(User’s Manual: D300S page 252; D300 page 252)
I used to do slide shows back in the old film days. I’d set up
my screen, warm up my projector, load my slides, and watch
everyone fall asleep by the hundredth slide. For that reason, I
hadn’t been using the Slide show functionality of my camera.
However, all that changed recently.
One day I was up in the Great Smoky Mountains shooting
beautiful waterfalls and cascades. The day was about over so
I headed back into town with my lovely images and a desire
for supper. I stopped in at the local buffet, got some food, set
up my camera on one of those silver metal napkin boxes,
dialed in a nice slide show, and started watching my own little
show while I ate.
Before long, I was hearing “ooohs” and “aaahs” from people
at the next table. Soon, there were several people standing
behind me watching the show. I became an instant celebrity.
It was so popular that I think I’ll go back this spring, and this
time be prepared to charge admission.
