Digital cameras are everywhere you go these days! Working with digital pictures instead of the traditional film and paper print photos is cost-effective, there is no used paper to end up in landfills and they take up almost no physical space at all! It seems like almost everyone has a cell phone camera these days that can snap images of just about anything in a matter of seconds.
There are many different ways to share your photos, from electronic picture frames to printing them out to keeping them on your PDA. Whether you’re a professional photographer or an amateur photography novice you’ll still like the ease of digital photography. And what’s better than just snapping lots of digital pictures is the fun way you can display them to other people.
One of the newest ways to display your images to others is with a photography blog. A “web log” or blog is a website that allows an writer to post instant updates onto Internet about just about any subject imaginable. A photo “web log” can include the digital photographs you took on any given day or trip. You can include comments about your photographs and you can tell people about why you snapped the images and what was happening when you took them.
Most blogging websites are easy to get started with. To begin a photo blog you just need to find some free blogging sites and pick a blog name. You just type your thoughts out in a post, upload your digital photographs from your camera and the blogging site pretty much does the rest. When you are satisfied with a post you “publish” it and anyone on the internet can instantly view it!
Don’t forget a blog can be a 2-way communication tool! With a photography web log you can not only allow others to see your photos but you can also allow people to comment on your posts. Getting feedback from visitors to your blog is part of the fun of putting your images online. If you allow comments on your photos then you can also learn what other people like and don’t like about your photos.
It’s your photography blog and you can post pictures of whatever you want. You can put up a bunch of images of a recent trip one day and then post photos of some flowers in your front yard the next day. Remember not to worry about always writing a article that’s perfect. Just try to enjoy the ability to spread your electronic photographs so quickly with your own blog!
