Starting Your Own Photography Blog is Easy

By Laural Kay

Digital cameras are everywhere you look these days! It seems like almost everyone has a digital camera these days that can snap photos of just about anything in a matter of seconds. Working with digital pictures instead of the traditional film photos is cost-effective, there is no wasted paper to end up in landfills and they take up virtually no physical space at all!

There are many different ways to share your photos, from electronic picture frames to printing them out to keeping them on your PDA. Whether you're a pro photographer or an amateur camera user you'll still appreciate the convenience of digital photography. And what is better than just snapping lots of digital pictures is the fun way you can share them with other people.

One of the newest ways to display your images to others is by publishing a photography blog. A "web log" or blog is a website that allows an writer to publish instant updates onto Internet about just about any topic imaginable. A photo "web log" can include the digital photographs you took on any specific day or trip. You can include comments about your photos and you can tell people about why you snapped the photos 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 sites are fairly simple to get started with. When you are satisfied with a post you "publish" it and anyone on the internet can instantly view it! You just write your thoughts out in a post, upload your digital photographs from your camera and the blogging software pretty much does the rest.

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 people to comment on your posts. Getting feedback from views to your web log is part of the fun of putting your photos online. If you allow comments on your photos then you can also learn what other people like and do not like about your images.

It's your photography blog and you can post photos of whatever you want. You can put up a bunch of photos of a local tourist attraction one day and then post photos of some flowers in your back yard the next day. Remember not to worry about always composing a post that's going to make other people happy. Just try to have fun with the ability to share your digital photographs so quickly with your own blog! - 30452
