A got a question for all the digital photographers out there. When you shoot photos in your various social groups, how do you share the photos so your friends can see what you got?
My friends accuse me of not having any film in the camera as they never see them. In the old days, I waited for the roll to finish and then took the little envelope of photos to the next meeting. But in the digital world, how do you do that?
I guess I could print them all, but that can get expensive. Seems like such a waste.
Some people don't like the idea of seeing themselves posted on the web. To be sure, publishing to the web sends them much further and wider then one's social group - and has legal implications. And it lacks the social interaction that one had with physical prints.
There are digital photo frames, but they are still a bit expensive and are not battery powered. You'd have to be tethered to a power cord.
DVD players are reasonable, but I tried a cheap one that could play back a CD of photos, but the photos were horrid. The player stretched the photo to fit it's screen and the colors looked like it was rendered in 256 colors. I have not yet tried to convert the stills to a movie. That may work, but seems like a lot of effort.
So, I'm asking here what others have done to pass around photos.
