Share Your Digital Photos with Friends and Family

Let’s say you’ve taken a bunch of beautiful digital photos and you want to share them with friends and family. What’s the best way to do this? There are many options, from printing and burning onto CDs or DVDs, to emailing and uploading the photos.

You can share your pictures by having a hardcopy printout. All you need to do is get a good photo printer and some quality printing paper, then print away!usually print my photos from an inkjet printer (the Canon Pixma iP4000) using glossy photo paper.

The prints I get are very high quality.Of course, if you don’t have a printer, you can still approach a photo kiosk to do the job, or even submit your images to an online photo print website.

Storing your photos on CD and DVD is a very good option for sharing photos, particularly if you have a immensely huge photo collection. The downside, of course, is that your family and friends need to have a CD player or DVD player to view the content.

Another option for sharing photos is to email them to to a friend or family member. I do warn you to be careful though. Make sure your recipient would like to receive the photos first. Bombarding him or her with a 10MB email containing photo attachments is not a very nice thing to do – it’s best if you obtained permission to do so first.

A good alternative to emailing photos is to upload your photos to a website, then simply email the website link to your friends or family. This avoids the problem of huge email attachments. There are many online photo storage sites available. SmugMug is one of my favorite photo sharing sites.
