Storing Digital Photos
Once you have taken photos with your digital camera, you have to store them somewhere.
You could always leave them on the memory card, but that would get rather expensive, so let us explore a few other options.
1. Transfer your images onto your computer. Most cameras come with a wire to connect your camera to your computer, a CD with a downloading program and an instruction booklet. Transferring the images is fast and simple. Once they are on the computer, you can delete the images from your memory card and start taking more photos.
2. Burn your images onto a CD. If you have a CD burner on your computer, you can make photo discs to store or share with others. When it comes to pictures, it is often best to use a CD that cannot be written over. This will save the heartache of losing precious photos. Label the CD and store it where it can be gotten easily when you have to see your pictures.
3. Store your images on a public web site. There are many photo-hosting sites on the internet. Some charge for the service, but many are completely free. You have the choice to password-protect your images or share them with the world. This option helps if your computer should crash. Your pictures are safe.
4. Print your images and place them in a photo album. Many people still like turning the pages of a photo album and reviewing the memories. This also makes it possible for those without a computer to view your pictures.
5. Create a photo gift. There are places out there that will take your digital image and place in on shirts, mouse padvertisements, cups, calendars and numerous other items. These make fantastic gifts and provide a way to keep a cherished picture near at all times.
These are just a few suggestions. Using your creativity, you shall come up with many more ideas.
