This sounds like a good fit for an inclusion tag. Since you need a bit of
markup around the images for the slider functionality, it'd be nice to keep
that markup in a separate template so you could use the image slider in
multiple places like, say, a post detail page as well as a dashboard. Then,
anytime you wanted to create image slider, in your template you could
simply do something like:
{% load image_extras %}
...
{% image_slider post.image_set %}
...
