I bought a Canon S95 camera last year for my trip to Central America. After watching and reading a few reviews, I was convinced to splurge a bit on this high-end point and click camera. I liked it because I didn’t have to haul a big SLR around while backpacking, but it also has high performance abilities and lots of options to take more control over what you shoot. The price was a little steep, at the time it was $400 (now it’s more like $300), but it was, and still is, worth every penny.

Taking a lot of pictures, I wanted to find a great way to showcase the best shots, rather then just dumping them into Flickr, which I was doing for a little while. I had been using Tumblr for my travel blog and I liked it’s simplicity and flexibility. So since July I’ve been photoblogging my best photographs on Tumblr and it is going great.

My photos are now being enjoyed by lots of people around the world, made possible by Tumblr. Similar to Twitter, Tumblr has a unique discovery engine which makes good content go viral. So everyday I post new photos and check to see which photos are getting “liked” and “reblogged,” and who’s subscribing to me. I’ve also hooked up FotoMoto to Tumblr so if anyone wants to make prints or share my photos, they can easily do so, and I get a percentage.

That’s pretty much my photoblogging strategy. I’m really just doing it for fun, because I love to take photos. Do you have a photoblog? What do you use? Curious minds want to know.
