It seems like almost everyone has a cell phone camera these days that can snap images of just about anything in a matter of moments. Working with electronic pictures instead of the traditional film photos is cost-effective, there is no used paper to end up in the garbage and they take up virtually no physical space at all!
Whether you are an expert photographer or an amateur camera user 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 others. There are many different ways to let others enjoy your photos, from electronic picture frames to printing them out to keeping them on your cell phone.
One of the most fun ways to display your photographs to others is with a photography blog. A “web log” or blog is a website that allows an writer to post instant updates onto World Wide Web about just about any subject imaginable. A photography blog can feature the digital photos you took on any specific day or trip. You can add your written thoughts about your photographs and you can tell people about why you snapped the images and where you were when you took them.
To start a photography blog you just need to find some free blogging websites and pick a blog name. Most blogging websites are fairly simple to get started with. You just write your thoughts out in a post, insert your digital photos from your camera and the blogging software pretty much does the rest. When you are happy with a post you “publish” it and everyone around the world can instantly read it!
With a photography blog you can not only share your photos with others but you can also allow visitors to write comments on your posts. If you allow comments on your posts then you can also learn what other people like and do not like about your photos. Getting commends from visitors to your blog is part of the fun of posting your images online. If you are a portrait photographer then you might use a website to show off your vast portfolio of samples.
Remember not to worry about always composing a post that’s perfect. It is your photography blog and you can post photos of whatever you want. You can post images of a trip to Florida one day and then post photos of some flowers in your front yard the next day. Just try to have fun with the ability to spread your electronic photographs so quickly with your own blog!
