I am looking for a web based photo sharing website that's free. I have relations who live quite far away and want the latest photos of our newborn son on a weekly basis.

I've looked a Flickr and Zooomr but both seem to compress the images to much smaller sizes and less quality. I use a 10MP camera which has image sizes between 4-5MB each and rather than email all the time would like to post them to a website and only let certain people I allow have access. My relations would then be able to download them in their original size and print them off.

Thanks in advance for your help!

    Yes it does but not very much. I'm sure it's only 50mb or so.

    Which site do you use that allows you to put that size of pics up?

    Thanks.
