Our Camping Photos

I decided that I needed an extremely easy way to post my photos online, and the photo gallery included in the software we use for this site was too much of a hassle. I needed something that wouldn’t take up too much time, or I knew I wouldn’t utilize it regularly.

I decided to take a closer look at flickr.com (owned by Yahoo.) Setting up an account was fairly quick and simple. Customizing and organizing your profile and account might take a few minutes. If you choose to open an account, be sure to look at your account page, especially the privacy settings and profile page.

They offer a free account with 20mb of upload bandwidth each month and every new month, that means you get another 20mb of photo upload each month, with no limit on total file space. If you keep your photos smaller, this is a pretty good amount of file space. For an annual fee of $25, you can sign up for the pro account, which includes 2gb of upload bandwidth per month. Not a bad price to pay if you want to share lots of larger images. Take a peek at their FAQ page for additional details about the service.

For now, I have opted for the free account: http://www.flickr.com/photos/thatscamping/

I found a fantastic plug-in for my iPhoto software (on my Mac) that allows me to resize, tag, comment, photoset, and upload images directly to my flickr account.

Flickr also offers other upload tools for both Mac and Windows users. I love the ability to upload and organize right from my computer.

So far, I like it a lot; I have heard many good comments about the service, and I briefly dabbled with an account previously. Hopefully this will enable me to share our camping photos on a more regularly.

  1. Thanks for your article!  I use webshots to upload and share my photos online.  I did pay for the premium membership and it under 30.00 a year.

    For quick and easy editing, I really like this program:
    http://picasa.google.com/download/index.html

    Picasa is software that makes it easy and fun to view, organize, edit and share the digital photos on your PC. Picasa won’t delete your pictures or put them online without your permission.

    The download itself contains only the Picasa 2 software. Picasa will not uninstall other programs or add any non-Picasa programs or files to your computer. There is a free version!

    Again, thanks for the article.

  2. Picasa is an awesome program! I wish I could use it myself, but there is no Mac version; but Google is supposedly working on porting it to the Mac soon!

    I am glad you are using this program! I have heard nothing but good things about it! Thanks for sharing it in your comment!
