There is 500px. It's not free but you can usually get a discount every black Friday week. You can also license your photos with them if you want and I find I sell enough to more than cover their membership fee. It's mainly the same photo getting sold each time, but I did sell a different one...

I only shoot RAW. For me the editing is as much part of the hobby as taking the photos.

Don't forget that with your Flickr pro membership you get 2 months free of Adobe Creative Cloud Photography plan, so that saves you £20. Even if you are already subscribed to it Adobe will defer taking payment for 2 months when you register it.

Thank you Jason

I have recently bought a Z6 and the 24-200 from MPB (probably should have bought it cheaper from the forums here). I am enjoying the camera but keep wondering if it is worth getting the 24-70 F4 too. I mainly shoot landscapes and occasionally flowers. When I look at photos on flickr & 500px, I...

It looks like a hand coloured photo to me, particularly the eyes and hair. I am no expert though.

Has anyone upgraded from an E-M1 Mk2 to a Mk3? I haven't done much photography for the last 18 months or so (I plan to rectify that this autumn) and somehow the launch of the Mk3 passed me by. The upgrades appear relatively minor, but I mainly shoot landscape and the hand held high res sounds...

Is Flickr the only hosting site that can link images to this forum? I let Flickr Pro lapse some time ago because I prefer to use 500px, but I don't think 500px lets you link in the same way.

I prefer 1 & 3. I have no idea what you used to edit each one. Are you using the auto tone feature of each program? Surely you could use Lightroom to get any effect you want by playing with tones & contrast etc.

B looks sharper, but I expect it is because of the contrast between the colours.

I upgraded from a 2011 27" iMac to a retina 27" iMac last year. I just went with the 1TB fusion drive and I upgraded the RAM myself to 24GB. I have found the Lightroom is actually much slower on it than on my previous iMac. I think it is because the images being manipulated are much higher...

I have used Crashplan for a few years and had to recover all my photos from it last year when I had both my main hard drive and my backup hard drive fail at the same time. I have opted to migrate to the small business plan at least for next year, but this has not gone smoothly. I followed the...

Rather than slide it in, can you open the jaws wide, sit the plate in and then clamp up? I find my Peak Design doesn't slide in easily but works the way I described.

I haven't tried a non-Olympus lens to know if it should work or not. It occurs to me that the camera won't know you are focusing the lens as there is no data connection between the lens and the camera so it wouldn't automatically focus peak. Perhaps you have to manually magnify the image on...

I would get it fixed if I were you. It will be worth more should you decide to sell it in the future.
