Upload your Photos on the Net

The internet offers a wide range of functionalities, and media where you can store your photos and albums, be it personal, professional (that is if you are a professional photographer), or, amateur.

It doesn’t matter if you are a rank amateur or a professional or someone who is trying his/her luck with his/her first digital camera. The results may vary but keep at it; you could slowly improve your talent for capturing moments on camera, and become so good that you could turn into a professional.

Professional photographers are sought out for shooting events, modeling portfolios, advertising photo shoots, and as personal photographers to the stars. They have celebrity status and move around in high society and in the company of celebrities, as they are the people who make the images of film stars and models.

How to get started?

You can start taking photographs with a basic digital camera. Learn a few things about angles, lights, and composition. The following books would help:

1. Introduction to Digital Photography

2. Digital Photography Digital Field Guide

3. Step-by-Step Digital Photography

http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?index=blended&keywords=Step-by-Step%20Digital%20Photography%20&_encoding=UTF8

Once you have taken a few photos you can upload them to the web. You will find a lot of websites offering free and paid space to upload your photos. One advantage of doing this is that you can show your pictures to friends and have them comment on your photography skills.

Gradually you will come to know where you are going wrong and what needs to be done. Also, friends and visitors on these sites will comment on the next step you have to take, the type of equipment to use and give you tips and techniques of the trade. Take these suggestions with humility and humor and don’t be disheartened by rude or indecent comments. Just the fact that they can comment anonymously will make a lot of people try to provoke you. That’s just an accepted part of life on the internet.

www.Picasaweb.com

Picasaweb is owned by google and offers 1 GB of free space to upload your photos, videos, etc. There is the added facility of making slideshows, which is a cool feature useful for uploading a series of pictures to a blog. It comes in handy when you have to put up pictures of an event and don’t want to flood your blog with it.

Picasaweb has an interface with the Picasa photo uploading software using which you can upload photos automatically to picasaweb. Photos can also be uploaded from the picasaweb online website to each individual album you have created.

There is also an automatic interface to create a slide show of a particular album. With a few clicks the user can create a slide show of the pictures in the relevant album and post it to a blog, or even send it by email to friends.

www.Flickr.com

Flickr is a photo uploading site owned by Yahoo. You can sign into Flickr using your Yahoo login identity and password. Flickr has improved a lot, of late, and has easy uploading features. Once uploaded, photos can be added to blogs with a few clicks. The text that will accompany the photo can also be added on Flickr, thereby avoiding additional work. On flickr there is an uploading tool that can be downloaded for free which is a good add-on software interface. Flickr has also gone multilingual and is available in English, Chinese, Japanese, German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese.

www.Photobucket.com

Photobucket is another photo uploading site with simple interfaces. You can create albums, and can also upload movies on this site. But the size of the movie should be below five minutes’ duration. It also displays the URL of the photo. In case you would like to display the photo elsewhere, copy the URL and paste it where you want it to appear and the photo will be displayed there. This obviates the need to upload the photo to the site manually.

www.G2bux.com

G2bux offers unlimited uploading of photos on its photos module unlike the other websites mentioned here, which have strict limits to the number of photos that you can store in them. The website also offers users the freedom to create any number of albums to store photographs. There is also a functionality to search photos by tags, and also to edit photos and albums.

The best part of uploading photos to G2bux is that for every photo uploaded user gets 1 G2point which when accumulated can be exchanged for cash. This is in addition to free uploading of an unlimited number of photos. Besides users can write a bit about themselves in the opening page, and give the background of their personal and professional lives.

Global Login System $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Global Login System is a single signon open source protocol, designed to allow any user logged in on his or her account to one of the sites using it, to be authenticated when visiting any other site using it. It aims to be used universally over the Internet, so that each user only needs to have one account with login and password on one designated home site, in order to access anything and operate anywhere on the web that s/he is allowed to. Its difference from other single signon systems is that there is no central database of users, so that this system can scale indefinitely by allowing every site of the network to have a separate (hidden) list of users.
