Flickr
One of the most popular photo sharing websites on
the Internet. Use Flickr to keep digital online copies of your
photographs, organize them into categories or share with family and
friends. To learn about all the features of this very useful site, take

Shutterfly
Membership to Shutterfly is free and gives you
some really nice features, such as storing photos indefinitely (they
claim to never delete photos). You can create prints from the site as
well as a website that will feature the photos you want to share with
others. If you're not quite sure how to use Shutterfly or want to learn
more about a particular feature, visit the

IstockPhoto.com
Looking for a particular picture to use on
an invitation, your website or other project? Sometimes you need a
really great picture of the Golden Gate Bridge, but don't have one of
your own, for example. Istock offers stock photos for reasonable prices.
A simple search will turn up dozens of photographs in almost every
category. If you have photography skills, you might even want to
offer some of your own work for sell. |

your photographs or what mistake you might be making that is causing the
photography errors? This site features articles,

ResizeIt
Need to correct a digital photo, but don't want
to spend a bundle on photo editing software? When you have a project
that requires more than the free photo editing software that came with
your computer, it can be tempting to go out and buy an expensive
program. However, with sites like ResizeIt, you don't have to. Go to
Online Photo Tools and choose either a landscape or portrait size
and then you can crop, rotate or convert the picture to a different
format. |

Photo Bucket
Another photo website where you can upload
your photographs for storage or share photos with others.
Membership is free. This service is a little different than some of
the others, because you can send the pictures to others via e-mail,
mobile phone or IM. This can come in handy when updating family on new
photos of a baby or family reunion pics others might want to download
and print for themselves. |
