Organizing travel photos

Is there a good (free) service for uploading photographs from a travel trip? More details inside.

I recently traveled to three countries last month and have a large cache of photographs to go through. I was wondering if there was a service dedicated to help organize everything. It's easy to create multiple albums, but maybe there is a different, more flexible/dynamic, organization scheme. Otherwise I may settle with picasa web albums.

Best answer: I use Picasa for this personally. Easy enough to organise, even with the web client

Have a look at Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/.

It's free (with limitations). Or else for $25/year you can upload as much as you want and ogranise you photos as you wish. If nothing else, it's a great backup service for your photos.

I am happy with Panoramio. Also free. Has option for geolocation. And if your pix meet their criteria, they'll also post them to Google Earth.

I use flickr for this, as well.

I tried Flickr for this situation for my mom's travel photos, but ran out of space after awhile without paying. She refused to pay more, so....it didn't finish.

Flickr is great, if you pay the $25 per year. There's iCloud, which is nice because you can use iPhoto to organize our photos prior to uploading them to the proverbial cloud. Facebook isn't bad for this either.

Photobucket works. My favorite part is that I can use the snapbucket app to upload photos from my iphone as I take them.

Best answer: Picasa Web Albums, with Google+, has given unlimited space as long as the photo is under certain dimensions (1600x1600). I upload at 1280x1280 max size, so this works out perfectly. Plus it is pretty easy to share the album with other people and it has a nice way of displaying all the photos at once.
