Advertisement Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Hi Pedro, Take a look here Who's On Flickr?!. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
philipus Posted November 27, 2011 Share #82 Â Posted November 27, 2011 It all depends on what you want to do with your photos online. I have run my own site (which I built myself as a hobby) for ten years and was happy just publishing them for whomever stopped by. But I recently joined Flickr to get more feedback. I like if someone says a photo is nice as much as I like constructive criticism. I apply the same to my commenting of others' photos, i.e. both give encouraging remarks and add suggestions how to improve a photo. Â The vast amount of images on Flickr is a bit of a drawback and creates a short attention span. So far, however, that hasn't bothered me. Â The "awards" are useless and I don't join such groups or the post 1 comment X groups. The Discussions, however, are really useful and one can find excellent advice there. Â I think Flickr's interface is ok. They really should add a better gallery function but since I have my own site it doesn't bother me. I like a lot that one can watch photos on a black background though. And I like the unlimited size of the images (for Pro members). Â I don't know. For now, 500px is OK, but that's not what I'm in it for. I had over 400 shots on Flickr, but only about 30 on 500px. Â This reminds me of Harold Davies's column at Photo.net which has some interesting advice on how to use Flickr. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Thanks for the article link. I've avoided Flickr, but he's convinced me to take another look. Â John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KM-25 Posted November 27, 2011 Share #85 Â Posted November 27, 2011 I had a bunch of images on Flickr but pulled them after two separate Yahoo induced bouts of copyright infringement. In terms of feedback, I never saw anything constructive in terms of critique, just glowing remarks and cute awards. Â I suppose one way to use Flickr would be to post a set of images on the site, then send a link to a respected colleague, editor or mentor and get real feedback. But if you are going to go to all that trouble, why not just meet with them in person? Â These days, I do less and less and participate less and less on the internet and my life and photography is growing by leaps and bounds because of it. I meet up with friends, editors, attend photo festivals and get more out of one day of that than having 2,225 images on Flickr ever will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveYork Posted April 2, 2012 Share #90 Â Posted April 2, 2012 I'm stuck to Flickr, because I have so many picture uploaded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted April 2, 2012 Share #91 Â Posted April 2, 2012 Took me about 5 minutes to delete the hundreds I had up there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveYork Posted April 2, 2012 Share #92 Â Posted April 2, 2012 And then you have to spend all that time putting them on a new site. It's not a totally bad thing; it lets your internal filter have another whack at the pictures. But time consuming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stunsworth Posted April 5, 2012 Share #96 Â Posted April 5, 2012 Took me about 5 minutes to delete the hundreds I had up there. Â So you've abandoned Flickr? I thought it was 500px that you were having second thoughts about. What made you change your mind? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted April 5, 2012 Share #97 Â Posted April 5, 2012 I have cancelled my subscription to 500px (I can see no real advantage to paying them money) and similarly, I no longer pay Flickr. I just had a good clear out of loads of stuff I used to have up there. Â I am unimpressed with 500px for the reasons previously stated and Flickr was a good place 5 years ago but has been left in the dark ages, IMO. It will be interesting to see what happens to them in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted April 5, 2012 Share #98 Â Posted April 5, 2012 Thanks Andy, I thought Flickr were due a re-vamp, but perhaps I imagined that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattsy Posted April 5, 2012 Share #99 Â Posted April 5, 2012 I like Flickr, and I like it all the more because it "has been left in the dark ages". Quick to use with a nice simple interface and layout - what is it missing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted April 5, 2012 Share #100 Â Posted April 5, 2012 I would like to see much more layout options than the two or three they offer you now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
