    It depends on the pictures. If you are using 640*480 pixel jpegs with moderate compression, maybe 120-200kb per image.

    In general, hosting accounts (even the really cheap ones) give you waaay more space and bandwidth then you'll ever need.

    Worst case scenario, if it turns out your website is extremely popular, you can just upgrade your hosting account.

    If you want to post some links of some packages you're considering, we will be able to comment.

    In terms of the gallery, if you search for a JavaScript gallery you can find ones that are easy to implement and need little more than uploading the pictures to a directory. Here is an interesting list that I've used : http://tutorialblog.org/12-javascript-image-galleries/
