Hell all. I want to start uploading my photos to an online photo sharing site such as Flickr or Facebook, but I must admit I know nothing about photography or picture sizes, etc. I have been taking pictures at 8MP just because with my limited knowledge of this subject, bigger = better. However, these bigger pictures eat up space really quick. I uploaded 30 photos to Flickr and I'm already at like 60% of my monthly limit.
So, my question to anyone who can help is what size should I be taking pictures in? Is 8MP overkill? I basically take pictures of spontaneous stuff, road trips, time with friends, and my nephew and want to share them online. I don't want them to be blurry or look bad and I also don't want 4 pictures taking up 9000 terabytes of storage
So what is a good size to shoot average everyday photos if I just plan on sharing them with friends and family? What would one shoot in 8MP for? And lastly, anyone have a favorite photo sharing site? Ive used photobucket before just to share an occasional pic here and there, but never really looked at it. I just set up a Flickr account as it was already on my phone. I really like how easy it is to upload from my Incredible to Flickr! It lets me upload to any set I want, or created a new set! Some sites are goofy with uploading. Oh ya, whatever I use, I will be shooting all my photos with my Incredible, and want to upload mainly right from my phone rather than transfer them to a computer first. I want the ability to upload anytime at a moments notice.
So if anyone could offer up a bit of advice, I would appreciate it. Mainly on the size I should be shooting pictures in to share with friends via a photosharing site, and occasionally posting on FB or a forum, etc. Thanks much!
