Where do you publish your photos online?

[luketrash]

I just sat down over the past weekend to create my own version of a gallery on my personal website.

If any of you are bored, check it out at www.lukehealey.com

If you're REALLY bored, PM me with your thoughts and suggestions 😉

I have a website for my work (mainly commercial).

Even if you're not bored, and have much better things to do, have a look.

Actually, you should probably put it at the top of your list.

Heck, even hire me!

You can make your images "private' if you like, but don't know how rock solid secure that is. If they are viewable to the public, i don't know if you have an option to block from search engines. Course, if you did not label or tag them or have a description, they would basically be unlikely to be found by any engines.

Code can be included in the HTML to ask Google and other search engines to avoid indexing that file. Google and other reputable search engines honor the request. This is independent of whether the file is publicly available.

However, any photo visible in a browser can be copied.

I post to my blog(www.35photo.blogspot.com), jpgmag.com(www.jpgmag.com/people/35photo[/url]), and my site which is updated less often then the other 2 sites..Anyone else on jpg?

http://thepriceofsilver.blogspot.com is enough for me.

What I like at flickr is the use of tags to find pictures taken with a certain lens, camera etc.
I.e. http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/canon35mmf15ltm/

But not great enough for a professional account

 

[swoop]

I use DeviantArt. It's really simple. I thought about using MobileMe but I already have so much stuff on DA that t would just be silly to switch. I tried Flickr but I really don't like the layout of it.

 

[somecanuckchick]

Flickr, as well as my own web site. Really, it depends on the photo. 🙂

own site underway

own site underway

I voted for 'designed my own website'. Although it's currently still a work in progress, you can have a look at: www.portretteur.nl.

I plan to showcase my own shots (currently only two small sets under 'Fotografie' -> Spot Light / Spot Lit) as well as articles on gear I own and use or used to own and sold.

Like said, still a work in progress, so be gentle on me😱

Been blogging off and on for a little less then a year now as I find the format easier to update then a regular website. Do a have domain but mostly just use it to upload proofs that I've upload from LR with models.

I voted "blog such as wordpress", but I currently use Radio Userland for my blogging. Userland has stated that their support for Radio on weblogs.com will go away at the end of this year, meaning that my 7 year old blog (not just photos, science, politics, etc., but mostly just photos lately) will cease to exist at that time.

So I am looking into other means of keeping an online presence. I will still be able to use Radio, so no content will be lost, but I fear that without support (it is sure to go away as well) the software will become stale and break. I do have a WordPress blog, but but migrating my content from 101-365 will be non-trivial.

I use MobileMe from my Mac through iPhoto but it's not open viewing for everyone.
I'm about to start using www.photoartgallery.com which offers private or public viewing and the opportunity to put images up for sale.

 

[kitaanat]

I use these :

RFF
Flickr
APUG
my own .com website (still develop and still don't have enough time to deal with my pictures)

I mainly use flickr to store my large pictures, RFF for my only RF pictures and APUG I've just uploaded some of my favorite pictures with water mark.

other place I'll link from flickr and use small thumbnail for faster load. Flickr have a good system to let me choose the permission to show / hide some pictures from publics and share them only for friends & family (which you can set that someone will be friends / family or other). I can turn on CC or copyright license as well which flickr have done this so far.

some place I know : photoshelter

 

[DRabbit]

Designed my own .com website... that's where I primarily put photos.
But I do post them on RFF, Facebook, and Flickr (occasionally). I've stuck a couple up on Panoramio recently to see if they'd get into GoogleMaps (mixed results).
I've been featured on LeicaShots and Steve Huff's site too 🙂

 

[Santtu Määttänen]

I have a combo of Photo.net (my more serious portfolio althou at this moment not perfect representation of my work, not even close), then I use flickr for temporary stuff online as well as Facebook. I publish photos on Facebook, Photo.net (obviously) and on various forums and few very precisely oriented blogs (like one for my companies this years largest project, check those pics out here ). Then again I write to plenty of places too. Being active on various things as well as fast moving and wanting to try out new things makes things hard to coordinate 🙂

 

[Roberto V.]

I started at DeviantArt, since I already had drawings and paintings there. Then I found flickr and that's where I upload now. I don't paint that much nowadays, although I wish I did.

 

[Cutly]

I created my own website : http://thomasboivin.com/index.html

 

[hendriphile]

flickr and my website 🙂

Speaking of Flickr... is anyone else having trouble transferring images from Flickr? It's changed... no more "image size" button, and when pasting the image URL into RFF, nothing comes up but a little white square with a red "X" in it.

P.S. After 2 days of frustration with the "new improved" Flickr, I switched to Photobucket and was uploading images in 1/2 an hour.

I have had flick for a few years http://www.flickr.com/photos/totifoto/

and through Zenfolio I did my professional page last winter http://www.totifoto.com/

 

[semilog]

Indeed. And while it is considered poor grammar to start a sentence with a conjunction.... [ 😉 ]
One should not start a sentence with a conjunction...

Actually, most authorities consider the initiation of a sentence with a conjunction to be neither incorrect nor in poor style.

Bryan Garner's summations are, at this point, definitive: "It is a rank superstition that this coordinating conjunction [and] cannot properly begin a sentence..." "It is a gross canard that beginning a sentence with but is stylistically slipshod... Good writers often begin sentences with but and have always done so." Garner then goes on to summarize the concurrence of several other authorities, and he provides numerous examples of these usages (and additional citations to such usages) by great and important writers from the 10th to the 21st century.

Garner even cites a 1963 study showing that about one in twelve sentences published by a selection of superb writers are initiated with coordinating conjunctions.

Also: I post my photos on SmugMug. They offer excellent service, are reasonably priced, and they're lovely people to deal with.
