Since the development of modern cameras, especially cameras on mobile phones, people now enjoy capturing wonderful moments in their lives with photos. If you are an avid photographer, don’t you just love sharing your photos with the world? Fortunately, it is now possible to snap pictures and share them with family and friends without having to pay for printouts.
Sharing pictures taken with your iPhone can be easier and enjoyable once you get familiar with how to do it in the first place. For starters, you should take a photo and edit it using your choice of photo filters, image-editing tools, and other options. Once you have decided which photos you want to upload, you can choose to send them by email. This option is made available by clicking on the arrow found in the center of the screen down near the bottom. Now click “mail.” Your photo is now attached to your email. Simply add the recipient’s email address, the subject line and your message. Once you are ready, click “send” and your masterpiece is on its way.
There are other alternatives for sharing your photos besides email, but you will need to download photo-sharing applications. Below are some of the most popular photo-sharing apps you can choose from.
1. Instagram by Burbn, Inc. (Free)
Probably the most popular photo-sharing application, it is a top pick of iPhone users. Instagram takes the best of the original iPhone photo modification apps, such as Hipstamatic, and blends it well with a Twitter-like follower system. You can take your photo using this app, edit it, and then share it with your followers. You can also share your photos within traditional social networks like Facebook and Twitter.
2. Flickr by Yahoo! (Free)
Flickr is one of the first photo-sharing sites used by professional photographers and hobbyists to display their masterpieces to the world. In addition, it has been a means for other people to share their personal images privately with family and friends. All you have to do is download the app so you can upload images and videos directly to Flickr using your iPhone.
3. Path™ by Path, Inc. (Free)
Path works similarly with Instagram; however, unlike Instagram which allows you to follow and be followed by hundreds or even thousands of people, Path only allows you to choose 50 of your closest family and friends. Aside from sharing photos, you can also share videos as well as chat with your connections.
4. Tumblr by Tumblr (Free)
A favorite tool of bloggers, Tumblr allows you to upload photos, videos, and texts. You can also set it to post simultaneously to Twitter.
5. Snapfish by Hewlett Packard (Free)
This app allows you to upload images from your iPhone to your Snapfish albums. This can be downloaded for free, and it also allows you to store photos from your iPhone. You just need to sign up and have an account to use this app.
6. Snapbucket by Photobucket.com (Free)
Snapbucket is another app that allows you to snap images, select a style, and share your photos with your friends. Its styles and interface are similar to Instagram, and it offers filter varieties such as ghost, film, sunrise, antique, and 70s. You can also utilize special effects, apply different frames, choose vignettes, and create sets with the use of the application.
7. Bump by Bump Technologies, Inc. (Free)
