The easiest way to share that embarrassing or precious moment you captured with your iPhone camera is to send it directly to Flickr. (Of course, you can also use the Share feature in the brand-new iPhoto ’08, in conjunction with the .Mac Web Gallery.) For photo-sharing sites other than Flickr, look for the option to submit your pictures via email.

1. Get a Flickr Email Address

Sign in to your Flickr account (if you don’t have one, you can get one for free) and go to www.flickr.com/account. Click the Email tab. Then, in the row labeled “Your Flickr upload email,” click the link to create an upload-to-Flickr email address. A page will appear with an email address that reads something like gibberish@photos.flickr.com. Copy (or write down) this email address.

If you want to attach a certain tag every time you upload a photo via email, enter it here.

2. Add a Flickr Contact

Add the Flickr email address to your contacts. You can do this directly on the iPhone, or you can do as we did and create a contact in Address Book, and then sync the iPhone. By adding the Flickr email as a contact, you won’t have to memorize the email address and type it out each time you want to upload an iPhone pic via email.

Make the Flickr email address a contact so you don't have to type it out every time.
