Did you ever decide against those hosted solutions your listed in your original post?

Hi Ben, So to give you some ideas on my background before I make my suggestions, my name is Jin more of a hobbyist photographer but very experienced in Web and e-commerce though these days my work takes me more into high availability and cyber security infrastructure. A couple of questions I...

Not that I was a memorable member of the community. So after a very long photographic Hiatus I am back for this year. Currently looking for a once a month challenge to ease myself back in to the world.

Week 5 - Smoke Shot with a Canon 5D MKii using a Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 @ 200mm 1/50 secs f/4 ISO: 100

Week 5 - Smoke WHOOOAAAAAAA!!!!!! Almost fell of the wagon there, so I am behind, weeks behind but I won't let myself down. This was always my plan for this shot, though it is not the most original of ideas I do think it is shot a lot better than most of the other similar images I have seen...

I would say Mac, I converted in 2012 for a non-photographic reason and to be honest I have never looked back. Even to this day I find a new surprise the my mac that has me quite impressed with the quality of the product. Ultimately it will all come down to money but I do feel the user...

Thanks for your comments. I got quite popular with this one on 500px.com and it has become my favourite shot of all time. My text is more for me than for the community. I plan to turn this 52 week into a photo book for myself to reflect on after this year is over and the text are just so I can...

Thanks. I think this is my first portrait with studio lights.

IMO as someone that takes photos for myself and not for clients: Acceptance is an amalgamation between approval from your demographic and approval from the masses. If you were an artist and you drew a perfect circle in the centre of a blank white canvas and hung it at an art gallery you will...

Thats quite interesting, I was going to photoshop the symmetry in there after noticing the eyebrows but there is a reason why the rotation is like so. The models eyes are ever so slightly wonky so I straightened the image to the eyes thinking that that would be slightly less noticeable. Maybe...

You forget that even the media is subject to peoples interests. I read the news everyday and the BBC news theme rings away all day in my pocket, I frequently stay current on England, Wales, Scotland, science, entertainment and technology. However, I still chose my articles within those...

I bought a carl zeis lens cleaning kit and combined it with a blower and some lens tissue I owned. I use the blower to clear out the dust, the brush for any lint that is being particularly stubborn. A spritz of lens cleaner on some lens tissue and use a light finger to clean the spots off...

Well it just proves my point doesn't it. In fact as you have such lovely quality images on your website I could probably start editing out the watermarks and fencing them. Of course the legalities of which don't need to be questioned but considering you so defiantly tried to pass your opinion...
