The new integrated SHIVSPIX Galleries have made it possible for me to add slideshows to my blog posts. This way you’ll be able to see the new images without having to navigate to a new page.

Here are some cool slideshow features I’d like to point out:

Image Captions – Rolling over the images in the slideshow will allow you to read captions for the image (if the image has a caption)

Images - Clicking on the image will take you directly to the image in the galleries section.

Thumbnails – On the bottom left, you can click on the word “THUMBS” which will bring up a reel of thumbnails and help you scroll through the slideshow.

Arrows – On the bottom right, you can click on the arrows to move forward or back in the slideshow. The numbers tell you how many images are in the slideshow and which number image you are on.  Clicking on the number allows you to pause the slideshow.

Thumbnail Chart – Clicking on the Tic-Tac-Toe like button on the bottom right will bring up all the thumbnails for the images in the slideshow. Click on it again, and it will take you back to the slideshow.

Envelop – Clicking on the envelop allows you to share the gallery with your friends and families.

Below the slideshow is the gallery name. Click on it to be taken directly to the gallery in the SHIVSPIX galleries section.

Hopefully this new slideshow feature will make it easier for you to view images, rather than having to jump to another page. Let me know what you think! I’d love to have your feedback.

ps: The images above were taken while I was in Monterey, California, for Simon and Megan’s wedding. After the wedding, I had a day to enjoy the sights of Monterey Bay. Of course, I went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, where I ended up spending most of my day. My favorite exhibit: the Shark Tank! No surprises there I’m sure.

Every year I have the chance to go back home to Switzerland for a couple of days.

Here are some quick snapshots I took with my point and shoot while I was in Switzerland during the first week of September.
