Welcome to photosharing.org.uk
Websites on photography and online photo sharing, plus our Amazon Shops.
If you are a photographer or anyone with a camera that takes pictures that other people like then you can sell them online with many of the photo sharing websites. A friend of mine Ron Bury has added a small collection of his photographs on photobox and you may like to have a look at his Wild Scotland photo gallery. You can learn more about having your own pictures for sale with PhotoBox Professional Galleries.
This website is mainly about listing photo sharing websites you may find useful and also links to online photo gallery software. I like taking snapshots and I am definately a very amateur photographer.

I need to update these old pages Border Collie pictures Scotland Snow & a Sledge, Snow gets everywhere, Scottish Border Collie pictures, Pictures of Swans, Duck, and a picture of Highland Cattle. Not spectacular I know.
Photo Gallery software includes Coppermine and Gallery. I have used Coppermine on websites and find it very good. Unfortunately so do spammers and while there is a way to put in spam filtering it involves a bit of knowledge that may be beyond many of us who just want to get on with the job of putting pictures up on a website. I used to have examples running on this site of Coppermine and Gallery Photo Galleries however I decided to move my sites to a new server with 1and1 and did not move the galleries. I may add them again in the future if I can figure out how to stop the spammers!
Below are a jumbled list of websites I have found that offer photo sharing, printing and other services for the amateur and professional photographer.
