How to take good travel photos??

Before you start

Many people now own a digital camera or have access to a scanner.
Quite convenient if you want to send your picture to your friends by mail.
However, wouldn’t it be nicer to have a place where you could simply direct your friends and family to view the pictures when they feel like it?
Or even better: to make new contacts with fellow photographers?

Nowadays, this is easily done.
However, there are some things you should decide before you start:
 

1.) Do you want your page to be public or only accessible to a few chosen people?
2.) Do you want to put some fixed galleries online or add individual photos regularly?
3.) Do you just need a gallery for a few shots or do you want a real homepage of your own?
4.) Do you plan to sell pictures at some point in the future (this would mean you need a reliable host that is almost always available.
5.) Are you prepared to pay for hosting or do you want to look for cost-free webspace. (This is possible)
6.) Are you looking for a nice, easy to implement out-of-the box design? Or do you want to spend the necessary time to program something yourself?
7.) How many visitors would come to your site? How many pictures do you want to present?
