Where do you have your photos hosted?

Anything I post here gets uploaded here. Seems the safest way to ensure it stays in the thread; if they lose it it's on them.

Otherwise I don't leave them online; I've got north of 30GB in images just on my local drive (with backups, of course). A bit much to be hosting online....

I've got a 2TB external hard drive. Nothing goes to any of the interweb sites.

 

I've looked! Sure, you can find the listings for the albums, but you get an error when you try to open them.

Hmm, trying to use The Google. I can see that getting messy fast, but it does allow a full res option.

 

its super easy once you get used to it.

 

Okay, what did I do wrong? How do I set up a photo album that lets me link to it, (but only that album and not all my other--admittedly boring--photos).

 

like I said prior, If I am posting, I upload from a file on my pc, and use google for back up. Im sure there is a way though...let me look. I am still new with google too

 

right click on photo, and copy web addy, then paste

 

. okay i figured it out
you select the photos, and you click the share...still trying to figure out how this site can just post the image

 

Try Collective Coin.

 

Try from Amazon:



Try (again) from Google:


sigh.




Photobucket try just to make sure I'm uploading ok. PB keeps kicking me out and as annoying as the ads are, I'm not interested in 'upgrading' when the site remains so finicky AND my 'high resolution' option is limited to their 1000x700-ish max. (not quite the right numbers, but I don't feel like logging in AGAIN to see what the real numbers are...).

 

Okay, this is annoying. Does anyone use Flikr and can tell me if there is a resolution/size limitations to the uploads/linked photos?

I added the image here too, my first gallery upload. The size restriction is ~1920x1920 (again, too lazy to go back and really check). Very much an improvement over the Bucket, but it's not like I can use this site for ALL my image hosting (I have dogs too ).

MUCH better than photobucket.

 

I have one of those in its original paper flip

 

Common but cool! I sent this one to NGC and they offered to send it to NCS...no thanks, I liked the look. Plus I have another blast white one too, so no need to strip the character to make a clone. Loved the 'volcanic eruption' effect of the lighting.

Do you have a photo of the original flip? That would be nice to see. Lots of after market holders, but the original would be awesome.

 

For display and posting I have photographs on my personal hobby website, but they are backed up on DVDs and copies are in bank boxes.

I did have a problem displaying images with my webhosting company last month (November 2016) and switched to another host.

 

@willieboyd2 -- who is your webhost? I am very new to the website thing and went with an easy to use host/builder. Overall it's nice, but the limitations on photo resolution is annoying (which I only noticed when my pictures got better) and having the flexibility to host my own.

Still don't know why the Amazon and Google links won't work. Especially the Amazon one as it's being advertised as a way to share photos.

Now trying with Flickr...which seems to work but adds that silly tag with the photo title and my 'name' (insert eyeroll) at the bottom.

Or maybe not ...

Yep, part of why I was asking. I REALLY like Collectivecoin, but I'd heard the rumor they were shutting down. I wasn't using them for my rare non coin stuff (dog photos and I suppose I can still use the bucket for those) but I had recently been adding more. There are going to be quite a few threads with missing photos once they go down.

For some reason I can't seem to figure out why an Amazon or Google link is failing, Flickr works but is linked to a throwaway email, Photobucket sucks and now CC is going away. I'm working on a vanity website and I think I've figured out a way for linking to photos (and I figured out my photo quality problem) but not sure I want to use it for a hosting site. Technically it's against my TOS, but I suspect they wouldn't notice given my traffic.

Other than the non coin stuff I'm beginning to think it won't matter though. CU allows direct uploading and CT has the nice galleries. The only other place I post coin photos to is the NGC boards and those (at least for world coins) have been somnolent.

Is there some ridiculously simple step I'm missing with Amazon and Google? The links I'm grabbing are https but otherwise it seems like I'm taking the right steps. Those would be ideal as I have Amazon Prime and use Google as one of my photo back ups.

 

Hi all,

I have all of my photos backed up on a separate back up drive. That is the cheapest way for mounds of images. I take images that are large RAW format.

When I bring them into photo shop I save them as pdf's and jpgs. Because of the nature of RAW, you are always working with a copy of the original so less danger of screwing up as the original is not lost, or used.

Big damn drives rock!
