How To Start Your Own Photography Blog

By Laura Kay

It seems like almost everyone has a cell phone camera these days that can snap photographs of just about anything in a matter of seconds. Using digital pictures instead of the traditional film photos is cheap, there is no wasted paper to end up in landfills and they take up almost no physical space at all!

And what is better than just snapping lots of digital photos is the easy way you can display them to other people. There are many different ways to share your photos, from electronic picture frames to printing them out to keeping them on your mobile phone. Whether you are a professional photographer or an amateur photography novice you'll still enjoy the ease of digital photography.

One of the growing ways to display your images to others is by publishing a photo blog. A "web log" or blog is a website that allows an author to post instant updates onto Internet about just about any subject imaginable. A photography blog can feature the digital images you took on any specific day or trip. You can add comments about your photos and you can tell people about why you snapped the photos and where you were when you took them.

To begin a photo blog you just need to find some no cost blogging websites and pick a blog name. Most blogging websites are fairly simple to get started with. When you are satisfied with a post you "publish" it and everyone on the planet can instantly see it! You simply write your thoughts out in a post, insert your digital photographs from your PC and the blogging site pretty much does the rest.

Remember a blog can be a two-way communication tool! With a photography 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 visitors to your web log is part of the fun of putting your images online. If you allow comments on your posts 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 vacation one day and then post photos of some children playing in your back yard the next day. Remember not to worry about always composing a article that's perfect. Just try to enjoy the ability to spread your electronic photos so easily with your own blog! - 30452
