Great sites for photos & prints - Flickr & Snapfish

Discovered two great sites in the last few days. One is Flickr - a site used for uploading and sharing photos. It is a site owned by Yahoo. But what I really liked about this, is that you can upload photos and share them easily with people. You can also add your pictures to a stream of Getty Images, which also has a tie up with Flickr, so that if Getty Images likes a picture you took, they can license it from you (and they can pay you as well).

I also really liked the link-up between Flickr and Snapfish, which is a site where you can print your pictures that you have uploaded onto Flickr. Not only can you print photo prints of varying sizes - you can also print your photos on cups, keychains and other things. Plus you can design and print your own custom made collages, calendars, photobooks, notebooks, etc.

If that weren't enough, you can also have your photos converted into works of art by having them printed on canvas in varying sizes.

All this at a pretty affordable price. Since Snapfish has an Indian site as well, the prices are in Indian Rupees and the delivery is pretty efficient and quick. The canvas print I had made of one of my Lakshmi Statue pictures was nicely packed in a tubular package perfect for canvases.

This is the Lakshmi photo that I had printed on canvas.
