Cruise photos

[Eli90]

Before every cruise I make sure I charge my camera, have lots of memory space and take lots of photos. Are there other keen photographers out there? :)

I have quite a collection now, goes back to almost 10 years, although I didn't have a camera for my first few cruises. I want to set up a website where I can collect all of my photos,has anyone done this kind of thing? I've been thinking about WordPress but there are also companies like 1and1 and many others that do it all for you. Where do you think is a good place to have a collection of all of my photos? Any advice would be very much appreciated! :)

I researched various online photo services after our April cruise, finally settling upon Flickr for various reasons, including its sets and collections, tagging, ability to include short videos in with the photos, ease of embedding photos in posts here on CC, easy access on my smartphone, ability to adjust date and time on photos and videos, ability to sort and rearrange photos various ways, etc. It also includes other features which could be important for cruises such as mapping your photos.

 

I also host various websites and use various CMS packages such as WordPress, Joomla and Drupal, but for my purposes I found that it was easier to let Flickr handle the details.

 

You can see my cruise photos (still in progress) on Flickr at:

Great, thank you for the info! I hadn't heard of Picassa before...I think some of my friends have Flickr, might need to ask them about it!
