Picture hosting website???

[wavery]

I have seen some picture hosting websites that work really well.

I am currently using Webshots and I don't care for it. It's too herd to view pics. I'm also using photobucket for hosting pics that I want to post.

What is a good web-hosting site where you can break your pics into albums (like webshots) a viewer can see only 1 album at a time (like webshots) but the viewer can view a slide-show that works better than webshots?

I have seen some good slide show presentations from some of you that I would like to use. I just can't remember what they were.

I have a free photobucket.com account for personal and for work I purchased the photobucket pro and pay a yearly fee.

Can you tell me what the difference is with the photobucket-pro?

Picasa3 here

Photobucket pro allows you to have more room.... hold more stuff like video  But if its just for you and your family pics.... the free photobuck will be fine... its very user friendly and also allows you to make edits to the pics.  Its a fun site...... kinda has a lot of ad's though :/

I use photobucket to host pics that I want to post on this forum. However, I can't figure out how to put the pics into albums and post a link to the album. I do that through Webshots but it's a pain to view pics on Webshots (in case you haven't noticed).....

I'll have a look at Picasa3 and see if I can use that site......thanks Mike.

I put pics in albums on photobucket to send to Shayne's family all the time ( think my personal accunt has about 20 different albums on it).... I just send them the link (I guess its called the ULR?) to them and they are able to view them fine.  I really find it to be very user friendly

I use Picasa3 for my mods page. works very well and easy to use

I happen to take a shine to Picasa.  it's free (up to a gig or so) and you can use their nifty program to organize your pics on your 'puter (along with downloading them from the camera).

Hey Wayne,

Sounds like you're already set but thought I would throw in Smugmug (//www.sumgmug.com). It's a pay site but is totally unlimited for photos and the printing from the site is great. It's $39.95/year but you get $5 bucks off if you get a code from any member. I got into it because I really liked He Ruide's photo site and found that he was using Smugmug. (Thanks He Ruide!)

I later upgraded (3 levels) to the 2nd level so I could also upload video. I'm considering going to the Pro level so I can upload HD video. I recently upgraded my DSLR to the Canon 7D which takes great pics and HD video.

Each of the galleries can be set up to display many different ways, including a slide show format.

Anyway, here is a link to a couple of galleries:

This one is of a campground I scoped out for next year and I've set up the photos to display nice and big...but as I said, there are many options.

This one is my most recent gallery. It displays in the normal mode. There are a couple of videos at the end of the pics.

I use Photobucket and Panoramio.

I occasionally use Photobucket if I want to limit who can view or if I want to share in album format.  But that is only about 3% of my photography.

Panoramio is both free AND has absolutely no ads.  It works well for me, and by using it to Geolocate photos, they become available to the entire Google Earth community.  They do limit subjects to landscape photography (i.e. no posed people, no machines, nothing under a roof), and right now they are going through a rather messy software upgrade, but the site is fast, the community helpful, and except for a small sponsor link on the GE version of the image, you will get NO ADS.  If albums are important to you, skip it; Panoramio is not going to get albums any time soon.

Edit: A lot of companies block photo hosting sites such as Photobucket, PBase, Webshots, and SmugMug.  But I've never seen any block Panoramio.
