Digital photography

Used to really like it years ago because it was a good community and a lot of great photos, also the interface or what you call it was great back in the day.
Then they started censoring content for users from Germany and some other countries and I left because it was ridiculous.
Then they changed their interface to the rather rubbish looking one we have today and weakened the censoring at least.
I came back, but I'm not sure if I'll stay - it's not the same any more, also the community has grown huge, but a lot less interesting.

Depends what you want to do with it I guess.
For just archiving your pics it's an option (though I'd do this on a hard drive or my own server I guess).
For showing them to others it sucks because of all the ads (if no adblocker is installed) - tumblr is better for this (you have a way to show people your images without ads and without them being "optimized" or sharpened etc.) - but then again tumblr's usability is pretty shit.

Forget the Corbyn cow, it's all about the Cameron Pig now

I have an adblocker and never realised that flickr had any ads. On the downside I find it terribly slow. It's good that it stores full size images, has a lot of free storage, stores exif info and maps the pictures (you may not care about those last few).

Personally, for backing stuff up I use Microsoft onedrive. I pay about £60/year for office and with that you get unlimited online storage. Very good deal if you need office anyway.

Ultimately though, in the first instance I'd back things up to a local drive somewhere. Storage is so cheap that it barely costs anything.

No.

Srs though, any good at what? I've always found the interface really annoying, so never really used it.

Ahh I'm guessing due to your posts on the Mac thread, you're looking for extra backup. I'd keep icloud, but I'd buy a hard drive and keep everything saved there. Backup is good.

yeah just looking for offsite backup storage. if I stay with the icloud i'll need to bump the limit and that means a fee so I thought id try and find a free option first. don't really want anyone to be able to access the photos except me.

I'm convinced infrared photography is the thing for me but so far this is the only picture I'm actually kind of pleased with

Got up early to shoot some sunrise pics today and almost all of them were rubbish.

Do like.

That's really tasty.

Always tempted to get up early before work to take pictures but the cost of tiredness and risk of not getting anything I like are too much :)

I do like that photo though.

Cheers. It is one of two that I don't hate.

On days where I have to get the bus to work rather than cycle it's easier for me to leave super early and avoid the traffic so I thought I would take the opportunity to get up on top of a car park and get some pics super early, but tiredness meant I had my camera set up wrong and most of the images are useless now. Bah, try again tomorrow I guess.

Also nice. I love the colours on the buildings - reminds me of the old photoshop gradient preset:

Awesome, looks prehistoric!

Great sky as well

Wow. That horse portrait is great. So moody.
