This may sound like a stupid question BUT...
My iphone is near on FULL of pictures... Near on 5,000.
What is the best way to get them OFF the phone but still have them available in the cloud so I can have them to hand as and when?
I understand I can have them in iPhoto on my mac but I don't want to use up ALL THAT STORAGE on my mac...
Any help would be great
Thanks

you'll need to subscribe some kind of service

but not having them on your mac is a bad idea. use an external drive for the iPhoto Library if you don't want them eating space, but I advise having them physically available on your machine.

I have a external drive I could put then on plugged into my machine but then I cant show people things if I wanted to - make sense?

Yeah, use an external drive and move the iPhoto Library to it.
If you need to be able to access the photos, get a NAS drive that offers remote connection. Some of them have iPhone apps so you can connect easily. Your own personal cloud.
I just got a Seagate Central. It's as simple as NAS gets, and cheap. Works well, but it's slower than a USB drive. Also I can't find a way to connect it other than using the router, which is a bit annoying. I wish I could plug my mac into for faster transfers when I'm at home.
- your problem is not having a gigabit router.ESKEMA
- and plugged with an ethernet cable from router to mac..ESKEMA
- I have an old gigabit router, I wonder how complicated it would be to use it along with my Airport Expressnb
- I feel like the tricky thing is having one wireless router, and one wired, and connecting to the HD via either one, whenever I want.nb

- you can easily do that with your airport. Connect it to the airport and it will be available via wifi or ethernet.ESKEMA

Save to iPhoto. Also, if you have photo stream, (insert nude photo joke here), it saves automatically which you can access via iPhoto. In other words, iPhoto is your answer.
- I think PhotoStream only holds photos for 30 days, so this wouldn't work.nb
- not sure about 30 days. but it holds a 1000 photos. and would start deleting the oldest ones when you have more than 1000 photospango
- but if you're iphoto is on very often, you can set it to copy all photos on photostream automatically.pango

Lightroom is good for downloading photos. Also, OSX default photo import app Image Capture: just drag the photos to wherever you want them.
