Part 1 - Photo Sharing
Imagine you take the family on a holiday, you take loads of pictures and on your return (or even on during your holiday)
you want to share them with your friends and family. There are literally dozens of photo sharing websites available for
you to upload your photos to and share them around.
Firstly, you could just use Facebook to create Albums and share your pictures with your family and friends.
However, to categorise and group your pictures together in a more uniform manner, our favorite online photo-sharing
places include:

Everyone knows Instagram. It is possibly the biggest photo-sharing site at the moment - at least used by celebrities and personalities to share their pictures. It shares photos, videos and works with social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Flickr.
Create an Account and Start taking and sharing pictures. Instagram allows users to take pictures and videos, apply digital filters to them and then to share them.
* Please Remember: when it comes to Photography, people have very different tastes and varying views on what is appropriate. Whichever photo-sharing website you choose to use, you may wish to change the default settings to 'moderate', 'safe' or 'adult content hidden' (whatever the term used within your desired photo sharing website). Otherwise, you may not like what you see.
