Online Photo Sharing
As digital cameras are so cheap and readily available almost everyone could be classified as an amateur photographer. People with digital cameras are taking hundreds of photos regularly to share with their friends and family. However, sharing photographs isn't always that simple, particularly as the very large file size of photographs taken with high quality cameras such as the Leica d-lux4 makes them too big to email.
Thankfully, there are a number of online file sharing websites, many of which are specially designed for photographs that can be used to distribute photographs online! Many people find that this is the very best way to share their photographs with friends, particularly photos that have a large file size. If you take a high resolution photo with a camera such as the Leica d-Lux4 then you may find that the picture is in excess of 6mb. So, this can be problematic for people who take a lot of photos as albums can end up being measured in Gigabytes. Obviously this makes sharing the photos problematic, so online file sharing sites such as Photobucket and Flickr are ideal.
Also, many people upload their photographs onto social networking sites. This is a great way to share pictures too as you're able to tag people who appear in the photograph. This is a popular feature that appears on most social networking websites.
