Online photo-posting site recommendations?

[raid]

I am using smugmug. I like it.

I've used pbase.com for years. It has all kinds of editing features. I believe it costs $23/yr. And if you have a problem, they are very responsive.

I couldn't agree more. I've used phase.com for a long time and been very happy with them. I really like that I can see which images attract the most viewers.

I thought I had sent my opinion on this but apparently not. I have been on Photo.net for several years and totally happy with it. I got on a site called 500px a little while ago and it seems to be pretty good too. Photo.net is $25 a year for unlimited storage and 500px is free so far, there are upgrade that cost something about the same. 500px will let you sell your picture too at the free level.

+1 for photo.net. It is easy to use, and they don't mess with your pictures. I like that you can have a copyright notice. And $25 a year is not bad.

happy flickr user since 2007. haven't need the pro-version since the image limit disappeared. mobile app is great too.

Sometime flickr links look oversharpended and over saturated.

thought that its usually a problem if image was processed (e.g. sharpened) a lot already before posting.

I think the latest incarnation of flickr is pretty decent .... and the price is right. 🙂

If you want cheap, Flickr seems hard to beat as it is free. Else, I'm using Smugmug like some others around here.

I have a premium account with Zenfolio. Great service and have never had a problem at all with them.

If you google around you will find adverse comments about all the sites mentioned, most are usually from those interested in getting their work to show up on google searches. from my reading some sites are very poor at this due to the file structure they use others are good. if that is important to you you need to do some further research if not file and forget.

Go with Flickr. Try uploading a few images and see the result ... Ignore the Grumpy Old Men that hate Flickr 😀

Sage advice. Thank you. 😛

Hi Jamie

This image is from my x100. It was a jpeg auto synced from an eyefi card.
Sharpening in camera set to normal, Jpeg fine, f4. No adjustments etc...
Follow the link back and look at the full size.

Sometime flickr links look oversharpended and over saturated. Other times they look fine.
My discovery is... when sharing, one has less control of everyone elses monitor settings so why not only worry about your own?

That's a great point about other people's monitors! I'm thinking I'll go with Flickr for the time being, at least to get my feet wet in this mass uploading business.

 

[Jamie Pillers]

Thanks again, everyone. D**n... more ideas to look into. I'd forgotten that Photo.net provides image storage. I usually just go there to look at a review or browse their classifieds.

Yes that is the problem.

The reason I posted the image I did is to show what an image looks like if it has no post.
The Image posted shows no difference from the original on my monitor after being uploaded and viewed on flickr.
Zero sharpening. Slightly overexposed and undersaturated.
It's as unperfect as the original 😛

If I were going to have photos available on line I would consider this:

Then I could make it secure as I desire and have, to me at least, better control of the stuff.

That is a fancy external harddrive, nothing spectacular.

+1 for Smugmug. I went there after being unhappy with the big Flickr makeover a couple of years ago. Lots of customization, different cost levels for different needs.

Cheers,
Kirk

After much procrastination and very little research, I went ahead and dumped a bunch of photo 'albums' on Flickr. I just needed a quick and easy way to show stuff when friends ask what I 'photograph'. The Flickr process of uploading and organizing images is certainly easy and the images look about the same as they do here. So... good enough for now. Thanks again everyone for your advice.

It seems highly unlikely these websites re-encode your pictures.
The changes people are reporting are presumably due to saving files in the wrong colour space. If your camera file is in AdobeRGB and you save and upload it without changing the colour space, a browser will render it in the standard sRGB which will desaturate it.

A little OT, but Keith, how did you set the wider margins between images?

I use flickr only for hosting images to be posted on forums and tumblr, but I like the look of yours. That extra spacing helps.

Jamie, I also suggest starting with flickr.

I like flickr for the way it works but also for the people I know there, I don't follow many people but I find their stuff is consistently good. I also maintain my own website

One more interested in the answer to this question.
The margins really matter !
