Share Your Photo Books on Facebook and Twitter
It’s so easy to make photo books on Lifephoto.com. Inexpensive, too. (2-page softcover photo books are $6.95.) 
But now you can simply put a link to your photo books on Facebook and Twitter so your friends can view your book in a “turning page” digital photo album preview format. (pictured at right)
Great Sharing Tool for Party Photo Books
Below is an example of someone who created an easy photo book from a Meatloaf Party that a group of friends hosted. When FB friends link on “Meatloaf Trowdown Book,” they are taken to the previewer. Those who link to it can view every page and, if they want, order a copy of the book themselves. No obligation, though. You can see the actual Facebook post below: continue reading
If you’re a photo nut, then you’ve probably got hundreds of random digital photos that you’ve taken — just because.
They might be of pets, wildlife, flowers or foliage, scenic views or who knows what! They don’t fall under the category of “family” photos or even “vacation photos.” They’re just shots of something that intrigued you.
This pup’s photo intrigued me.
I didn’t take it, but discovered it on a photo blog today — The Brenda Photo Challenge Blog. It reminded me that one way to get your fun photos out of mothballs … continue reading
Photo gifts for retirees don’t get much easier than this!
Cruisin’ Along in Retirement is my theme. Photos from a recent cruise the retirees took are what I uploaded to create this quick, easy and inexpensive Personalized Note Book. It took me 5 minutes — from photo upload to placement of my order.
Find out how I did it and what it cost… continue reading
Getting Last Pix for Photo Book
The last couple of cruise days flew by so quickly. We stopped in Juneau for a day
— it’s a city with a good bit of Alaskan charm. Took some photos there that will tell the story in my cruise memory book. Then on to Victoria, British Columbia for a delightful day in this beautiful city with a distinct British flavor. Then back to Seattle. Then home.
Follow along as I discuss how to sort photos in preparation for creating a trip memory book. continue reading
Today we get ready to photograph the Hubbard Glacier. It takes several hours for the cruise ship to arrive in Disenchantment Bay, sailing through Yukatat Bay from the Gulf of Alaska. So we had plenty of time to find a great spot on the upper back deck from which we could photograph the glacier.
Clean the Lens. Check the Battery and Memory Card.
We had a great vantage point, my camera was ready and I was not disappointed with the photo opps that this magnificent glacier presented. Besides trying to capture a variety of angles and locations on the glacier, let me tell you about how I captured a panoramic view of the entire ice formation. continue reading
Day 3 of our Alaskan Cruise found us at sea for the day – heading up to the Hubbard Glacier. Plenty of downtime, opportunities for photos at sea and 
plenty of time to do some photo housekeeping. I find it simplifies life after vacation if I sort my photos along the way. That way I’m ready to upload my best shots for a digital photo book right aftter the trip.
Here are a few photo organizing tips: continue reading
The second day of our cruise took us to Ketchikan – a very quaint little coastal town that is absolutely perfect for capturing photo memories. Since access to the town is limited to boat and seaplane, the welcome sign faces out over the cruise ship dock.
Start Shooting Digital Photos from the Ship’s Deck.
The deck of a ship is the perfect location to capture the town “from above.” It gives you such a great view that you can zero in on various sections of town, harbor or mountain backdrop. A mix of these will give you some great shots for your cruise memory book. continue reading
This is the day we set sail aboard the Celebrity Infinity from Pier 66 in Seattle. We were able to board early and I spent the first few hours snapping digital photos for the first part of my Alaskan Cruise memory book. 
My plan was to get the basic ship photos early before most of the other guests arrived. These shots would become the opening pages of my photo book.
Planning My Alaskan Cruise Memory Book
Every day of the cruise — including the pre-cruise day in Seattle — offers many opportunities to capture the excitement and anticipation of the trip. continue reading
