Be Creative with Your Photographs

Do you enjoy photography but tend to just store away all your photos? 
Go online and take creative delight in your best pics.

"There is nothing more truly artistic than to love people"
               —Vincent Van Gogh

10 Fun Projects for Your Favorite Photos

Two SLR cameras.
Digital photos are so easy to take. Most of us love to take pics of our families, friends, travel, and pets. Unfortunately, most of those fantastic images end up in digital oblivion. At best, we copy them onto to the hard drive or storage, where we promptly forget them. Maybe one or two get printed out or emailed to a loved one. The best gets made into desktop wallpaper. In today’s creative online marketplace, there are many flashy, fun things you can do with your photos.

10. Publish a Photo Book
Self-publish your photos into a unique and inspiring bound book. These are true books, not just photo albums. Think of the satisfaction when your words and photos are professionally published. Tell your story at Blurb is just one of several online publishers that can help you get inspired and create a professional-looking book.
9. Line Up a Digital Slideshow
Put your photos onto DVDs that you can copy and share with family and friends. Not only can you watch the pics on your wide-screen TV, but you can add in special effects like fades and morphing. Select a music track and background color and you are on your way to movie night! There is even free software available online at smilebox.
8. Create an Online Album
Upload all your photos from your phone or tablet to an online source. Your family and friends can visit and take delight in all your photographs. Facebook is a great place for family and friends to connect as well as share photos. Flickr is a great spot for collecting and organizing your photos.
7. Make Digital Greeting Cards
Upload your own photos and make digital gifts. Online services will help you make personalized birthday cards, holiday cards, and more. Snapfish and other photo sites have a section for this. You can even order your photos on mugs, shirts, ballcaps, and many items to find just that perfect gift for someone special.
6. Print Onto Canvas
Giclee printing allows you to print onto a canvas-like material. It makes your photos have the effect of a canvas painting. Your personal photos are printed by online sources like photostoart, ready to be framed for wall display. Take your best shot!
5. Touch Up or Add Special Effects
A photo editor can do more than just flip your photos and adjust for red-eye. You can adjust for better lighting, change color casts, change to black and white, and create old-time sepia photos. You can even correct mistakes in your pics! Picmonkey is a source for an online photo editor.
4. Make Photo Collages and Fun Effects
Upload your photos, overlap and move them around on screen til you get just the right arrangement. Add frames and borders to your pics. Create funny photo montages or face-in-the-hole fun shots. Express your sense of humor with your own series of photos. One source, funny.pho.to , has many hundreds of cool photo effects online.
3. Post Digital Photo Frames for Parties
Get digital photo frames and run slideshows of your photographs continually during parties. Set up themes as viewing stations that guests can move through during the course of the party. You could even add music and some of them play videos, as well. In fact, I just thought of a great app—snap and post pics of your guests onto a laptop screen. Create! Order digital picture frames online at Amazon and other electronics stores.
2. Upload to Instagram
Photographers tend to gravitate towards other photographers. Several sites have sprung up where people post and share their photos. Visual social platforms like Instagram and  pinterest let people meet, greet, and share their photographs with other photographers, family, friends, and the world. 
1. Sell Your Photos Online
If you’d like to try your hand at selling your photos, try a licensing site like Shutterstock. People who want to use your photos in websites, blogs, or books pay a small licensing fee, of which you will get a portion. Take unusual, great photos or draw a following and you could make a little money here.

If you enjoy photography, finding new projects to do with your pics is a great outlet for your creativity. Photo books like you make at Blurb are exciting. Put your fun photos to use in ways that keep you inspired and productive. Think of your photos as raw material, and just the beginning of your artistic approach.
