Displaying photographes

Oct 01, 2006 4 Replies

One of the things I love about this group is the chance to see people's work. It is high time to take myself from my comfort zine and do two things. Photograph my work before it leaves me, sold or to the gallery.



Then, I must file the photos. I know nothing about displaying them so I can show you my work. Any suggestions welcomed.



Cheers, Jan


There are several free web-based image storage/display sites. Two popular ones are Flickr

and WebShots

. The rec.crafts.scrapbooks members use WebShots a lot, possibly because it uses the concept of albums to organize the images into categories (which is what scrapbookers do, anyway).

I have a WebShots account for my fledgling scrapbook hobby, but hadn't really thought about putting images of my beading on there. All the photos I've taken of my bead projects are ... ugly. :-) Gotta work on that.

I really like using Gallery... I started with an older version a couple of years ago and it took a tiny bit of hair-pulling to set up but I understand it's much easier now. And they now have Gallery Remote which really streamlines sorting and uploading. Thumbnails and resizing are automatic so you only have to upload the full sized images and then name/label them.

Heres one of my Gallery subfolders... there are plenty of skins out there to change the look as well.

Polly and Gina, thank you for the helpful replies. Gallery looks so clear and easy. First, I have to finish the works. Had an offer yesterday to take my orders down by hand to the South Island, from a family friend who is visiting her sister. Nothing like a spur to get finished. Then, I have gallery work to finish.

Cheers, Jan

I'd really like to see what you make! I don't have a ton of input for sharing photos, but so far I have used both Picturetrail and flickr and they both seem pretty great.
