I wrote recently that the best camera in the world is the one in your pocket. I still believe that. However, I have just had a couple of needs for specialised photography. 

The challenge was to make some images that could be used as backgrounds for a slide presentation. I have always advocated that a slide presentation, 
Powerpoint seems to be the standard term for one though I naturally prefer to use Keynote on my Mac or iPad, 
should be more images and less words. Let the images tell as much of the story as possible or at least colour the discussion.

The Harvard Business Review has a good little story about presentations. “The Glance Test” Could be worth a look.

Aside: I once saw a presentation where the speaker had used a series of paintings by Bruegel (look him up) for his presentation. No words, just the pictures, then he used the sections of the images to mark his points. It was very clever. If you got bored with the content, the pictures were interesting.

I take pictures. I grab an image, snap a quick photo. I rarely take the time to make a picture. I don’t often setup images and spend the time to make it work best with attention to exposure etc. I quite like auto on my camera and since the best camera in the world is the one you have with you when you need it, many of my images come from my iPhone.

It is almost 100 years since an ad agency told us that a picture is worth a thousand words. It is true a picture can convey so much more than a descriptive passage, but is a picture still worth a thousand words. Perhaps inflation has changed the value we can today aport to a picture.
