There is a great tutorial on creating a Drupal-based photo gallery using Views and CCK in the new O'Reilly USING DRUPAL book. I'd encourage you to read it. This will help you to learn the Views module which is essential. Then you can add your lightbox and jQuery functionality later once you have the photo gallery structure configured.

Get the USING DRUPAL book - it's an excellent resource.

I am going through the usingdrupal book ..you learn to create a gallery.

It shows how to create different galleries through taxonomy . and then users can add photos under those galleries.

But what if a registered user just wants to create an album/gallery via a link create album/gallery and put all his photos ,how do you go about it ...

Not all users would know how to do it via taxonomy and its not simple in lay mans terms ...

(cck,views,imagecache,taxonomy,imagefield)

the first part about upload image, create albums, comments etc comes with drupal image module, you can begin with this

http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/image

and exist modules with support image module like jQuery Lightbox

http://drupal.org/project/jlightbox

there is the cck way to create a gallery it is more complex but more configurable to

I know about image module where you can upload images but can users registering on your site create their own albums and upload pictures..I know this can be done in the gallery2 module ..but its more complicated integrating that in drupal ...

Can we do the same using just (cck,views,imagecache,taxonomy,imagefield). I have created a gallery using these modules , created galleries using taxonomy and views ..but users can upload images and select a particular gallery that i created using taxonomy but they cannot create their own gallery.

See http://www.lullabot.com/articles/photo-galleries-views-attach for the most flexible image gallery method that uses cck, views, and imagefields.
