Summer is over, what do I do now with all these photos?

Right now you must have hundreds of accumulated photophraphies of the summer.That magical day at the beach, the visit to the amusement park, the trip you had been waiting for a year, dinner with friends in the light of the moon...It would be a shame not to give them a second life to remember or, worse yet, lose them all, which is just what we want to help you avoid.

From ideas to create presentations to have on hand to save the photos in an original way to services to create online montages and decorate your home , going, of course, through a collection of services cloud hosting so your photos are always stored safely.

Our photos in the cloud

The first step to follow with the photos is to put them in a safe place, something that will be as easy as uploading them to your computer and save them to a USB disk or even burn them to CD .Yes , it may sound somewhat archaic, but today it is one of the best solutions to keep photographs and not be afraid of losing them.

However, this process can be slow and uncomfortable, and in the long run it is difficult to keep track of the photos you have or do not have, not to mention what it means to get to search for a specific photo when you need it to make that birthday presentation that everyone has to deal with, sooner or later.

The most techie alternative, so to speak, is to rely on the cloud services to host our entire photo collection, as easy as creating an account on one of the available sites and then , depending on what each one offers, take advantage of their free plans or pay a little more for different facilities .

The easy one, the one that everyone has in mind when talking about hosting photographs on third-party servers, would be Google Photos.It is the one chosen by most people, because it offers unlimited available space as long as we maintain the quality of the images at stripe.If we seek to save the original images, then if I would go through the box, but the free option is more than enough if you are looking for a secondary accommodation to not lose them.

Among its alternatives we would find the QuickPic Gallery application, which offers us initial 2 GB of cloud space, but allows us to increase the capacity up to 5 TB if five other friends join the application.Apple's iCloud must be valued, which, in addition to its initial 5 GB free, has expansion plans of up to 1 TB for 9.99 euros per month.

Posts to be original with the way to save our photos on the net, another very interesting option is the possibility of uploading them to YouTube to create a presentation that, in addition to preserving the images for free , will give us the option to create videos with which to martyrize our relatives when they come home.

The best photography social networks

In addition to the cloud, another free option to host images may be your favorite social networks , in which you can modify the settings to convert access to those photos into private and that your aunt does not come from the town to talk about the last beach you were in.It would be, for example, the case of Facebook.

Other good options may be networks more focused on photography , either in the form of more professional profiles, such as Flickr, or other more amateur as is the case of Instagram.As alternatives to the classic, but focused more professional and artistic scope is also 500px, but its storage is limited.

Our photos away from the computer

If what we want is to give it a second life to our photos beyond our computer, the simplest solution is usually the creation of digital albums from which we can later request a book print .

Two of the most famous options are Hoffmann, which offers albums from 26 euros , and Photobox, with albums of up to 100 pages from 35 euros .The most complicated thing will be to choose that We chose photos for the album, but they are those kinds of decisions that, when you have a complete library of photographic books at home, you will probably appreciate.

The rest of the options depend on the extent to which we want to exploit our photos as an element of home decoration .Surely you have one of a beautiful landscape that could end up turned into a puzzle, or endearing images with those that decorate walls and furniture.

The classic is usually to give Instagram photos a chance outside our mobile screens thanks to collections such as SnappyBook, but if you are looking for inspiration the galleries of decoration with photos from Pinterest are always a highly recommended option.
