Basically,I had all the photos on my Mac. The very second I checked the "sharing" box, all the photos vanished off my Mac as well as my IPad. So if I wish to retrieve it how?..
iPad 2
The "sharing" box, exactly where is this? System preferences? iPhoto?...?
check out icloud.com> to see if they are stored there, hope it helps
The only way iCloud saves photos is Photo Stream, which automatically syncs photos taken with an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, plus any photos you manually moved from your iPhoto library to Photo Stream.
If these are photos that were saved locally on your Mac and you did not have a backup, unfortunately they are gone.
You can't view photos at icloud.com with a browser, because the only photos than can exist on icloud are 1) in a backup of a device, not a mac, and 2) in photo stream (do you have it turned on?); but that only stores up to 1000 photos for up to 30 days.
When it comes to photos on a mac, icloud is not part of the equation, you must back up your mac if you ever lose file and want to restore them - Time Machine is the way to go.
Just for completeness's sake: 😝

and 3) Journals published to your iCloud homepage. But you need iPhoto on an IOS device to do that.
iPhoto for iOS (iPad): Share your journal as a webpage
and 4) Shared Photo Stream: iCloud: Using and troubleshooting Shared Photo Streams
Shared PhotoStreams do not expire after one month and can be pulished as a web page.
Mt. Lion allows you to view your photos as a web page, oonly this will not help clockworkmagic to retrieve the photos.
clockworkmagic: To repeat pvonk's question - we really need to know how you tried to share the photos:

I lost 3000 photos and have a iCloud account. How do I access those photos supposedly stored?
