Web based photo albums

[Brandy]

Flickr is free up to 100 MB of bandwidth a month... it's actually run by Yahoo now, which is probably why the Yahoo photoalbums are being discontinued (just my guess).

I've used it for a few months now, but ended up having TONS of travel photos, so I "upgraded" to the unlimited version and paid for a year of service.

I think it's the best amature photo-hosting site, personally... I don't like how people who want to view your photos have to log in to the other services to see them (ie: snapfish, kodak). And I like all of the community stuff Flickr has (and the automatic blog posting!).

Totally agree. I love flickr and since I upgraded my account last year I have not had to send a single person pictures via email, which I find to be a total pain in the butt! I like that they are able to go to my flickr page and download the high res originals.

Another thing that I love about flickr is that I don't have to put the pics on my hard drive. They can go directly from the camera to the flickr uploader. This will be great for us on RAAM since we have so many crew members who will be taking pictures. This way all of our pictures from the various cameras go straight to the RAAM flickr account and then we can dump our memory cards and keep shooting.

I only use Photobucket for the TE site.

Actually, I like Picasa too. It uploads to Picasa and to my hard drive. I can organize files with it and I can still compose and edit using Photoshop since the files are on my hard drive.

Picasa has a lot of options, I just haven't figured out how to use everything yet.
