Present - to offer for observation, examination, or consideration; show or display.
Presentation - the act of presenting.
A review of options on the Internet present me with a huge range of options. Fortunate timing by "Digital Photographer" magazine, issue 104 - 2 articles that relate to this. One is a 10 page article - "Presentation Options (present your work like a pro)" and the second giving advice about displaying photographs. Aside from the awful sub heading this was a useful read, both for general consideration and for helping with decision making.
I was looking for too much expecting to miss something. This is about getting your images out there in an appropriate manner. As mentioned before think about who you want to see the images, explore options and go for it.
Following on from the way that this course has developed the easiest and most cost effective way of displaying my final choice of images would be to use the Internet and Blogger specifically. Its cheap (free), easily accessed if you have a computer and Internet and the quality of the image can be controlled fairly well.
As I have progressed through the course I have gone back and looked at a lot of photographs that I have taken in the past and realised how the tactile experience enhances the overall experience of viewing images. Strange - people see with their hands. I enjoy the social experience of sharing with friends and family. Apart from that I just want to see what my images look like when they have been printed.
One traditional method of displaying images - paintings, prints, photographs is within a frame. This can enhance the whole thing, giving strong boundaries and depth to the image. Targeted at a limited specific audience - people who are in a position to be in the same place as the image.
The frame has now been developed to a range of differing products from sandwiching photographs between two sheets of acrylic to printing the image onto different medium such as canvas, block or box frames.
