More fun to share. Other than the coffee table book (Personally, I think 150 is too many), how about a slide show? Maybe a “Share our Travels” party? You show them yours and they show you theirs, with wine & cheese-or your favorite snacks. Or maybe start a small group where the latest traveler hosts the others and includes a slide show—or a “pass around the photo books” event?

If the images are good enough to my eyes I save them, usually to a separate hard drive or a DVD.

I post my best shots - travel and otherwise- here on UHH. Posting here has been an important part of my development. Committing myself to posting on a regular basis gets me out shooting and to try harder.
I also put together a family 'Yearbook' for Christmas every year which includes my travel photos, favorite 'photography' photos and family event snaps. I include pictures of backgrounds and textures as backgrounds for the pages. The books are very popular at our family holiday gatherings.

I also have my favorite photos set up as a slide show screen saver on my computer at work.

I print a few pictures every year, but very few make it into a frame and fewer still make it onto a wall.

I used to have a Panasonic P&S that I could plug directly into the TV and it would play the pictures complete with transitions and background music. I would include short videos with the still shots and the playback would transition seamlessly between them.

You said you take 3 to 150 photos? I can't imagine going to those places and only coming back with 3. I went to Badlands and pan handle of Nebraska and came back with 3000.

Many of us from the film days didn't have "unlimited" film as it seems with digital cameras. Were very careful of what and how many shots we made. Some still shoot that way.
I too take many more now than I used to do...

My wife and I have decided to travel extensively in retirement. In the last several years we have been to Australia, New Zealand, China, south East Asia, Peru and Ecuador. This year we will visit Cuba and an African safari. On each of these trips I normally take 3 to 500 photos. When I get home I use Photomechanic to quickly review them and I typically transfer about 150 to Lightroom for editing and often a few into Photoshop for manipulation. The question that I have is what do most folks do with these pictures. Asking family and friends to sit around and look at 150 or more of your favorite photos seem quite intrusive. I have started to generate coffee table books using Lightroom Blurb or Apple books and this seem to be working. Any other ideas.

I am lucky in that family and friends remember the old "slide shows" I used to do after a trip and I often get requests to "do a modern one" these days. I do so by plugging a flash drive into the big flat-screen TV with images reduced to half size for fast loading. Slide carousels used to hold 80 slides, so I keep the number of JPGS down to that and keep the flash drives in a box near the TV.

I usually make a small book of just one trip at a time. In addition I also generate a family year book. If their is a really good photo from the trip we took that year I will include it in the family year book. I have also used shots taken on vacation and trips in my one man shows. Usually three or four are included in my traveling 35 photo display. One of the best I ever got was taken in Venice Italy. We were on a Water Taxi and my wife yelled at me from the back of the boat to look to my left, I did and saw a bride standing adjusting her long flowing vial in a Gondola. I quickly raised my Sony HX90V, zoomed out to 750 mm and got time to shoot one shot before the Gondola went down a side canal. That image has been in every one of my photo shows, never sells, but generates the most conversation.
Anyway, I agree with you that subjecting folks to look through loads of photo's is intrusive. In both of our homes we display 4 or 5 of my best all time shots framed on the wall, also on the tables are my photo books. If someone sees them and wants to look, OK, if not, no sweat. We will still enjoy some fine wine or other liquid refreshment and have a fine visit.
PS. for anyone interested my next show will be in Youngstown, Ohio August -September 2019, I will be getting out more info as time draws near for UHHers that would care to visit if they are in the area.

I pick out some of the best to turn into a slide show using Video Studio. These videos go onto a hard drive that feeds into a blue--ray player that feeds into my television. My wife and I (and occasionally someone else) go back to enjoy a review of a vacation past.

I've traveled a lot in the fifteen years since retiring--China, Japan, India, Burma, SE Asia, Iran, Africa, Egypt, Jordan, Israel, Peru, various European countries. I take maybe a few hundred pictures per trip. I pick out 15-20 good ones (assuming I have that many good ones), put them on Google+ and Flickr and send the link to a few good friends. I also put no more than ten on Facebook after I get back. I will also post one or two to the Facebook pages of my two camera clubs.

Quite right about looking at your pictures. However, if you had a bottle of Macallan close by I would consider it.

My wife and I cull the photos saving the best or most meaningful then mount prints in a photo album and add commentary. Every once in a while we sit down and go over them recalling some good times and good laughs. We do not bore others with them. On rare occasion, if we have something special, I will make an enlargement to hang or share at camera club. My wife made a month long study trip to India and upon return put together a slide show with narrative for educational purposes - pre digital. On another occasion we did a seven week trip along the Louis and Clark Trail and did the same. After a few presentations they languish in storage.

Thanks for all of the excellent reply’s. The web site and Adobe Portfolio are new to me and I surely will follow those ideas.

Basically I use Apple's iCloud Photo sharing. I save all my photos to my CP1 'Travel' catalog; create a smart album with the photos I want to 'remember'; edit as needed; and create an iCloud Photo album. I share it with certain family members and friends that are interested. I will use albums as screen savers on my monitor at work. I like the idea of using digital picture frames. I'll look into this now.
