I'm setting up a web site for a local organization and so far I've managed to do everything I wanted. Now I want to add the possibility to upload photos to the site. I've been looking at the different modules but I'm confused what to use or if I should try to use some external service for handling the photos.

What I want to be able to do is to easily upload photos, easily being able to add photos to an entry, be able to display photo albums from a specific event, it would also be nice to have some kind of "lightbox" effect.

I would be most grateful for any advise you can give me.

You are best using a combination of the modules content construction kit, image field, image cache, image-api & views. I think there is also a modue to give a lightbox effect to any image fields that you create

http://drupal.org/project/cck
http://drupal.org/project/imagefield
http://drupal.org/project/imagecache
http://drupal.org/project/imageapi/
http://drupal.org/project/views
http://drupal.org/project/lightbox2

With this combination you can create galleries. There's some doc at http://drupal.org/node/144725

Thanks for the suggestions, it seem like these modules can do what I want ... if I just can configure them properly
