How much data are (roughly) involved? It might be a good idea to compress the resulting image somehow ("compress", "gzip", ...) before writing it to a share, but this is difficult to suggest given the sparse desccription of your surroundings: network bandwidth, data amounts involved, type of media involved, etc..
I hope this helps.
