Digital photos are everywhere you look these days! It seems like almost everyone has a cell phone camera these days that can take images of just about anything in a matter of moments. Working with electronic photos instead of the traditional film and paper print photos is cheap, there is no used paper to end up in landfills and they take up almost no physical space at all!

Whether you are a professional photographer or an amateur photography novice you’ll still like the ease of digital photography. And what is better than just snapping lots of digital photos is the fun way you can share them with other people. There are lots of different ways to let others enjoy your photos, from electronic picture frames to printing them out to storing them on your cell phone.

One of the newest ways to share your photographs to others is with a photography blog. A blog is a website that allows an writer to publish instant updates onto World Wide Web about just about any subject imaginable. A photography blog can feature the digital images you took on any given day or trip. You can include your written thoughts 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 photo blog you only need to find some free 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 anyone on the internet can instantly read it! You simply type your thoughts out in a post, insert your digital photos from your computer and the blogging site pretty much does the rest.

Getting commends from views to your blog is part of the excitement of putting your images online. With a photography web log you can not only allow others to see your photos but you can also allow visitors to write comments on your posts. If you allow comments on your posts then you can also learn what other people like and don’t like about your images.

It’s your photography blog and you can post photos of whatever you want. You can share a bunch of photos of a local tourist attraction one day and then put up images of some trees in your back yard the next day. Don’t worry about always composing a post that’s going to make other people happy. Just try to enjoy the ability to spread your digital photographs so quickly with your own blog!
