500px - who's using it?

brasher · 14th July 2011, 6:10 PM

Who on OCAU is using 500px? It's like a good version of Flickr without the spam and cutesy comments, finding a lot of high end work on the site just browsing aswell.

It's a pay site, so any more than 20 images requires a subscription, but if it's a folio of works then 20 is plenty I think.

Post your page, I'll watch everyone

Good to see you round again Chris

I made an account and did some initial uploads but finding it hard to manage all different types of sites/mediums now.

As you said though.. great for 20 of your best so I think ill review and put some more up and load up some film shots on there.

Umm.. This is awesome :S

I had a look at it a few nights ago, looking at some of the photos and comments.. it seems like the same old Flickr circle-jerk thing.

Is there really anything compelling that it offers that Flickr doesn't?

It depends what you are after. If you are after somewhere to store all your photos and uploads and hide some/make some public then no.

If you want 20 of your best shots that can be easily seen all in one place? Then yep.. If that is what you need.

Otherwise not really

lesliecool · 22nd July 2011, 12:41 PM

it offers a free portfolio gallery to showcase your work...

the quality of work on there is amazing so kind of makes you want to put very few pictures...if any at all...

i love it! added you all

chris and jack - your photos are amazing!

here's my humble offering:

Nice seeing some of your work Leslie

Id like to see more..

I am going to revamp my 500px this week and swap some variety around with more of my film shots.

Alessiman · 22nd July 2011, 2:23 PM

I agree about only putting your best up there

I have 6 images and thinking of taking down 2 of them as i don't think they compare to the others posted on 500px.

thanks jack! i just need to be very selective lol...which is probably a good thing!

henry - what are you talking about? i love all your shots! tho i am a bit biased as i love portraiture

xpostmanx · 24th July 2011, 3:26 PM

I've been on there for a short while,

http:\\500px.com\matthewpost

I really enjoy it, some very inspiration works. I recently purchased an "awesome" account, to see what it was all about. I don't feel it added anything to my experience.

The 20 photo/month limit is more than I would ordinarily every use.

I do feel the website lacks a sense of community.

shizmo · 24th July 2011, 6:02 PM

Some very high quality of works up there..

HOLY GEEBUS! The standard is amazing... I want to join in the sole hope that just because of the high calibre, it will push me to be better...

Raykay · 24th July 2011, 8:33 PM
