Where To Get Your Vacation Pictures Developed

So, you get home from Hedo, and you took some pictures with your digital camera for your own private use. Many photo stores will develop adult pictures, however not all will, and you also risk the clerks keeping copies for themselves, maybe you even know the clerks, or they know you.

The best option for developing those dirty digital photos are online services. You merely upload the pictures and they mail you the prints.

There are three main ones, Snapfish, Kodak, and Shutterfly.

Shutterfly offers 15 free prints when you sign up.

Snapfish offers 20 free prints when you sign up.

Kodak offers 10 free prints when you sign up.

What I've done is merely signed up all three and gotten 45 free prints.

The services also offer online photo storage and sharing, and many options for printing. You can have custom scrapbook-like books made with captions and the pictures printed right on the page. You can have canvases printed, cups, t shirts, there are hundreds of options.

Once you sign up the services also typically run occassional sales for free prints or free large prints and will email you about them, so the freebies do not end at signup.

Both services say they will print adult images, but nothing obscene or pornographic. I'm not entirely sure what that means, but I've never had problems with our nudie Hedo pics.

With all the PhotoQuality Printers available these.
Not to mention most people have them and don realize it. you can do what I do.
Make them at home yourself.
This a very easy and safe way. however if you want a Picture bigger then say 4X6 it is easier to use and onlline service.
Just my 1.5 cents worth.

We do the same. We just do them at home ourselves, and not have to worry about anyone getting ahold of pics we have taken.

Ya, you could, but home printer quality still isn't up to par, and with the cost of inkjet ink and photopaper you don't really save anything.

some of the cameras an printers out there now the quality is just as good if not better.

Walgreen's will develop anything as long as there is "no penetration"...ANYTHING!!

I'll do them for free... Photo printer and glossy paper. Email me and we'll work something out...

Im sure the 16 year old behind the counter at Walgreens won't mind keeping an extra copy for himself either, lol.
Didnt know people still used film anymore. Go digital, put on a disk and view when you want. Then if you want, like others have said, print the hard copies you want yourself.
Only film I use is for underwater camera when diving, and thats only because I have not invested in an underwater digital camera, yet.
Paul....

you can now buy those digital picture frames that have screen sizes up to 22 inches diagonally. I dare say that should be good enough qulaity wise to view what you want especially if your using 7 megs or higher on the camera. If you wait a little more, they will eventually find a way for you to view your sig other on 52 inch flat screen. Should be better than getting those prints at wallgreens--::dif::

We don't use "film" anymore, we use digital...however, when we download pics and we want to have hard copies to put in albums, share with family/friends, frame, etc... we send them to Walgreen's to print. WHO CARES if the 16 y/o behind the counter keeps a copy...give 'em a story to tell their buddies. LOL!!

we actually upload ours onto our laptop from our waterproof camera;)

and just how are you getting that camera "wet"?

lmao cop numerous ways and it aint scuba diving either LOL

Nice, very nice.

Some places now have do it yourself Kodak developers that you insert disc and print pix yourself...just an option.

::dif::
I jus wan go home mon!

I wanted to echo that you just cannot beat digital. For less than $100 you can buy an HP photoshare portable printer for your digital pictures. Many have a snall display screen so you do not even have to have a computer hooked up to it. The one we own is slightly larger than a load of bread and you can insert your memory card directly. Even though we live in a pretty large city I would still be hesitant to take film in anywhere to get it developed. Too many people know too many people, if you know what I mean.

I have used York Photo for the past 10 years. Cheap. Good quality. See everyone in July

I assume nobody uses 35mm anymore. Of the digital cameras, I am looking at Canon, Nikon and Sony. Any suggestions and explanations???

Price range is up to $1000 max.

Get a Nikon D80 or D90. Even a D40 takes great pictures. Those are SLR cameras -- the higher class of cameras.
If you don't want to get a DSLR, then get one of the top of the line Nikon Coolpix cameras -- they take great pictures and are very easy to use.

I have a Canon EOS Rebel DSLR and LOVE it! And It's in your price range.

We have a Cannon SX1 (digital superzoom) and it takes amazing pictures.
Before you buy think about SLR/Superzoom.
Superzoom = lighter but the screen washes out in sunlight and the eyepiece is digital and grainy as hell.
SLR = Awesome through the eyepiece view but heavier.
Also the back screen is very inconvenient if you need reading glasses because you will be fighting with your glasses to get a shot off. The eyepiece will have an optical adjustment and you might wind up using it a lot more than you think.

Remember: show up with an expensive DSLR (any make) and watch some paranoid guest rip it out of your hands and pitch it into the water. Ditto if you try sly photos on you iPhone. Unless you are quite a photo pro, stick to the lowest cost digital you can get. There are really very FEW photo ops at Hedo these days -- so many people are really paranoid they'll be outed by the Internet. For 'show the folks our vacation' shots and cheap camera is OK.

In any case NEVER point a camera lens at anyone you do not know, period. And never slink around with your camera. Be right up front, let people know you are shooting, and what, and be prepared to show (on the screen) what you just shot. That means digital.

Mind you, I've got a great collection of Hedo photos fro the last 30 years. Not for sharing!

Like one other person said, I would go to a Walgreens and use their self service printer. You can even make a couple larger ones of your favorites. Go around 8:00 at night and it is pretty quiet. A bit more pricey but you print only what you want in the size you want. BTW you can also photo shop with this servie if you want to "touch up" a few pictures.

Do Not take a good camera to Hedo!!! You could do so years ago (I have loads of friendly nude beach photos) but not any more. Do not even take a smart phone down to the beach. Get a small, possibly waterproof, camera. Take it on the cat cruise. take it off campus, use it to take all the photos you want before 10:00 am, anywhere. Then lock the camera away in the safe. Leave the DSLR at home (unless you are a certified camera nut and know how to deal with crowds of scared Hedo visitors. The photographers on pro photo-shoots know ALL the rules. If you are asking, then you don't. So no good cameras.

I agree with PNK...do not take your smartphone or any phone to the beach....and leave the expensive camera at home as well. I've seen pissed off people toss cameras in the water....yup...right in the water. And over the years I've seen people lurking out of windows taking photos, hiding cameras under towels taking photos (seen that quite a few times), under napkins during shows where they announced "no pictures" taking photos....it doesn't go over well and will get you ostracized real quick...and maybe you lose the camera/phone....some people are VERY sensitive on the photo issue.

On the other hand I'm down at the beach early and I often see couples come down to take some pictures before (almost) anyone is there....I don't mind helping out and taking a picture of the two of them together if they ask. Security doesn't usually give you any problem at that time if there is no one or next to no one on the beach. And you can always get pictures on the prude side, snap away over there.

We switched to digital years many years ago and are happy with that. We have quite a collection of photos which I've pared down over the years....makes me laugh every time I go thru them....that's some crazy stuff we get up to.

Enjoy & be safe with your goodies! ; )

I'm leaving my camera at home this year. All my pictures suck anyway, but my friends take really nice, fun pictures and I get them all on-line off F'book or similar.

I get mine done at Walmart... digital camera as well. I print my own copies while I wait... doesn't take long, and it's still dirt cheap. Good luck with film! Great ideas on here though...

Even better My wife works for walgreens and they are doing away with the manned photo centers...so its all done now by you..if your digital...I'm a Video producer by trade and its second nature to have a camera in hand.... I agree with whats been said go early get your snaps and not the slaps....Morning light is better light on a naked body ( no glare) on those important shapes. Memories last along time, A picture can last longer!!!

Oh, If you come to My room dont worry about the lights or backdrops Or the multiple DVC's I'm just a perv.....:devil:

With the four couples (four nationalities) that we were with in Hedo 2 in December 2010 we shot almost 700 pictures.

I put up a secure account and upload possibility on my server and everyone uploaded all the pictures they wanted to share with the others in our group. That way everyone could see (and download) them all, and print out any they wanted.

Granted, we kept the images focused on ourselves and shot a few of the shows by the staff. None of the guests complained because we bothered no-one (although the general manager wasn't too happy with another couple where he was lying on our dinner table on the prude beach and she "drinking" a shot of tequila on him... and him seeing us taking pictures of that).

I'd print them myself, your really going to take the chance to have somebody maybe make a copy?

We really don't print them. We make several digital copies and use our iPad as a Photo Album to share with friends and family.

We have a 42 inch Panasonic Plasma Vierra t.v we bought a few years ago that has a slot for the SD card from our digital camera. I have gotten permission to take a few awesome photos of Hedo friends as we DO NOT print off pictures ever and I let people know that the only people viewing their photos will be me and my hubby looking at the photos on t.v in the privacy of our living room

Best to get a small digital camera and use that sim card, plug it right in the computer, great for video as well, just to risky putting all these wild picks out there!

^^^^^^^^ This is a very old post, don't think people worry about this any longer :)

At home with the available technology . Who prints pics anyhow?

it's got to be embarrassing getting seen in photograph wearing a Members Only jacket. :)

If you use the Keepsake Ap you can get your digital pics printed, matted, and framed. Then they ship them directly to your house. You can decorate the master bedroom with them, or the living room.
