With the masses of photos that you and your loved ones will be taking over the holidays, it's inevitable that everyone wants to see them.
You might use a website that just displays the images, and you might go with a service that also allows people to download the files so they can print and frame as well. I like to use a combo of
MobileMe (to accommodate folks immediately after the event and let them download photos) and
Picasa, so I can just have an ongoing shared album.
Using magnets to put up your photos is the oldest quick-display in the books, but magnets sticking photos to the fridge never really looks that great. But take the same idea and tweak the execution, and you get beauty and innovation. The
Magnetic Photo Rope comes in a rainbow of bold colors and each measures 58-inches long.
Santa Claus is coming to town and well, he's already at the mall! Whether you use the snapshot of your kids with St. Nick for
holiday cards or to showcase on the mantel, many families make posing for one an annual tradition.
Holiday photo shoots are notorious for matching jammies. If you're wondering where moms and dads find the soft sets made for family dressing, look no further. Check out this season's latest loungewear here.
I don't know about you, but I'm not exactly on top of it when it comes to using the "proper" image formats in stories. What am I talking about? JPEG and PNG formats.
Ever since Polaroid decided
to discontinue its instant-film products, I've been trying to snatch up all of the 600 film I come across. But, that gets pricey, considering the film costs nearly a buck per development. You know
how I love my Polaroids, though, so it puts me in a pickle.
Now we can keep the original
Polaroid dream alive thanks to a neat website and download called
Poladroid! Mac OS X users (a Windows XP version is coming soon), just download the application on your computer, drag and drop your photos into the camera, wait a few seconds (like a real Polaroid cam), and then your retro-chic image should appear — utterly magical I tell ya. You can keep to pass along to friends, or upload high-res pics to the Polaroid cam and print them out for later .
I carry my camera around with me almost every day so I don't miss a photo opp. You just never know when you are going to have a
celebrity sighting or get up close and
personal with a new gadget!
I am not sure I could even count how many photos I have snapped this year, but between geek events, weddings, vacations, and random photos I've taken on
my way home from work I know it's more than 1,000.
With all those rockin'
photography tips we've covered here lately, I'm sure you've had more than enough time to enjoy the fruits of your labor with some pretty full photo galleries! But the downside to a full digital photo gallery? Uploading them to your Facebook, Flickr, Photobucket, and blog — it can take forever jumping from one site to the next.
There are probably a million and one great things you can do with your library of digital photos. Photo sites like
Flickr offer elaborate ways to explore and share pics while
free photo editing sites allow you to enhance and resize your little moments in time. But, what should you do with all your photos once they are all spruced up?
