How To Start Your Own Photography Blog

By Laural Kay

Digital cameras are everywhere you look these days! Working with electronic photographs 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! It seems like just about everyone has a digital camera these days that can snap images of just about anything in a matter of moments.

There are many different ways to share your photos, from digital picture frames to printing them out to keeping them on your PDA. Whether you are 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 photos is the fun way you can display them to other people.

A "web log" or blog is a website that allows an writer to post instant updates onto World Wide Web about just about any topic imaginable. A photo blog can feature the digital photos you took on any given day or trip. One of the growing ways to share your images to others is with a photo blog. You can add your written thoughts about your photos and you can inform people about why you took the photos and where you were when you took them.

To start a photography blog you just need to find some free blogging sites and pick a blog name. Most blogging websites are fairly simple to get started with. You just type your comments out in a post, insert your digital photographs from your computer and the blogging software pretty much does the rest. When you are happy with a post you "publish" it and anyone on the internet can instantly read it!

Remember a blog can be a two-way communication site! With a photo web log you can not only allow others to see your photos but you can also allow visitors to write comments on your posts. Getting commends from visitors to your web log is part of the excitement of putting your photos online. If you allow comments on your images then you can also discover what other people like and don't like about your photos.

You can post a bunch of images of a local tourist attraction one day and then post photos of some trees in your back yard the next day. Remember not to worry about always writing a article that's going to make other people happy. It's your photo blog and you can post photos of whatever you want. Just try to enjoy the ability to spread your digital photographs so easily with your own blog! - 32363
