Distributing Photos Taken At Ve Celebrations.

[wiltsman]

I went round my local estate yesterday taking around two dozen photos of celebrations at each house, socially distanced of course!

Can someone recommend a free site where I upload these images for viewing? What I would then like to do is push a note through individual letterboxes informing my neighbours where they can view the photos.

Or is that too simple? I'm from an era where I got my photos developed at Boots, so please make your replies understandable .. lol Thank you.

That should read two dozen photos in total!

Does the place you live not have a Facebook page?

You need to look on the internet for a “free anonymous image uploader”

Most of the good free photo gallery websites, such as Webshots and Picasaweb, have closed down. The best remaining site, in my opinion is Rajce: https://www.rajce.idnes.cz/ . Although everything is in Czech, it's surprisingly intuitive to use.

Otherwise your best best is probably to use Google Photos
https://www.google.com/photos/about/
or possibly ImageShack

Before you do that bear in mind you should have asked permission to take photos from the people you took photos of.

Some people may not wish their photo to be put anywhere on the internet.

There is always Flickr - and you can upload them but keep them private until you have permission to use the photos.

Thanks all for your advice. I'm thinking of using Google Photos, but am investigating all.

Sorry to rain on your parade a little but did the neighbours give permission for you to put their photos on social media? I'm not sure that local always stays local and some people may have reasons not to be out there

There is no law against you publishing any photos you take in a public place in the UK. It might, however, be polite to ask any people whose houses you have specifically photographed if they object to you publishing them. Even then, a refusal from them does not prevent you.

No rain on my parade 'roopower,' I did not use Facebook. In the end I compiled an online album using Google Photos. We're a small friendly Close and I took only photos with the permission of each family and only those families saw the images. Everyone seemed happy that somebody had taken the trouble to record the event. The photos cannot be accessed by anyone else. Should anyone have objected then obviously I would have walked on.
I chose Google Photos as they appeared to be the easiest of the recommended free sites I received.
