photography related social network
 

Hello there!

Beside the forum, that is really a lovely place to stay, I was wondering who is using also photography related social network to show own photo works and eventually to promote a owned website.

I'm interested in real communities not services like host photos and eventually print them out.

Beside the well know http://www.flickr.com/ that I already tried without satisfaction, I just find out the following:

http://photobucket.com/
http://www.myshutterspace.com/
http://www.picturesocial.com/
http://www.photography-network.net/
http://www.smugmug.com/

What do you think of them?
Someone used?
Experiences?

hi there, i just had a look at theses sites and was imprest with the picture social and signed up there, thanks.

You are welcome.... but I was wondering who is using them and who care to share experiences about them.

Hi there, I have had a good look around this site but have decided not to go ahead with anymore because it is a bit confusing to me so I will only be sticking with this forum as you all friendly on here! Thanks anyway,springergirl.

As only one member has replied to your question. May be no one uses. I don't so sorry no help. You could try a poll, not sure if that would be of any help to find if any one uses.

The more forums you are on the more time you spend/waste in front of the computer and therefore not taking pictures or experimenting with your camera which I would think should be your top priority if you want to improve your skills in that area.

There is one BIG one http://www.redbubble.com but it really is big and you would need to spend a lot of time and effort to keep things up to date there. I was directed to it a few years back when another forum I was on had to close due to the chap who runs it being in ill health.

thank you for that but i think i will just be sticking with this forum, as you said my prioity is my camera not my computer.

Hi there...
I checked deeply so many websites and finally my decision goes for:

(1) http://500px.com/
(2) http://www.myshutterspace.com/

There is also http://www.picturesocial.com/ but is a perfect clone, a mirror of http://www.myshutterspace.com/ they did not even move or change positions of links and contents locations. Maybe I will consider later.

hi there, i just had a look at these and you are right that the picture social and my shutter space are the exactly the same, but i think i'll just stick to this forum, but they did have some nice photography on there though.

Hi there, As a full time carer I find that circumstances do not allow me to spend a lot of time behind the camera these days so I am often tied to the computer. I am a member of several sites : this site - WPF is my favourite social site, I also use Nikonians and Nikongear, pBase and Smugmug. For inspiration I also use 1X and ocassionally enter things there, never been accepted and the critique can be downright savage but useful.

Hi there, I have had a look around these sites, and I am imprest but I do think the photography is far to advanced for me,it is nice to look though, I'm sorry to here that you don't get out much with your camera as your photography is very good. Thanks springergirl.
